Overlapping with the Bulldogs playing in the SEC Championship with a spot in the playoff at stake. The ratings will not be good for this one.

Why do we get so many afternoon games in NY?

Good grief.

Conspiracy theory of the day: it's related to Thabo and Antic's antics with the NYPD years ago. The league is trying to protect us from ourselves.

"SHORT HANDED" - Dang. These guys came on and messed up all our plans to stay on the bottom
of the NBA. Moose has been out for a while. Then, Dedmon, our starting center goes down, followed
by his back up, rookie Collins.

Can't stay on the bottom, playing like this! Starting players who don't start. Letting that short handed
bench in they game and they show up and show out. Oh, well. The three point shooting Nets will be
visiting the Hawks next. Hawks keep this up and they just might push the Brooklin team under them.

After forcing The King to stop "Dennis the Menance" to keep Atlanta away from victory, then this!

:lol:

Hahaha I was thinking same thing...and a barber I might not go back to anytime soon..

Kudos to Dennis and Babbitt. Great play from Plumlee on D and Bembry as well with some sweet swipes..there was a 5 min stretch there that had Deandre playing on a different level. He did say it was the building where he won a title so maybe extra motivation there.

GO HAWKS!!!

Is LaVine coming back? Mirotic? Damn I'm scared we won't catch the Bulls...I know it's early but they are just straight out un shamefully flat out tanking...COMON PORTIS, DOESNT THIS MAKE YOU MAD????

The Bulls should have tried Felacio to fix the Portis/Mirotic situation....hehehehehehe...

(Here all week....:-/)

You know it's an ugly season when I'm surprised we beat the Nyets... Yikes.

And how about Luke Babbitt's performance? Man this guy has really surprised me, especially having the back issues. He really plays well and seems like exactly what Bud wants in his scheme. Hes like Korver's but with better ball handling, better driving ability, more aggressive. Kudos for real to that guy. Solid player who is well worth the less than $2m/yr (!). We have bird rights or anything with him , or what's his issue aka why is his contract so cheap?

No bird rights as he was a FA signing. 1 year minimum contract, I'm surprised Miami didn't resign him.

He might be playing himself right out of ATL and into a overpriced contract somewhere. Wonder what the FO is thinking on him, trade high at the deadline? Or try to offer a market rate contract that doesn't really fit our total rebuild timeline? He has really impressed me but our cap is messy and timetable is long to get back to relevance.

Just going to say it. Plumlee is better than Dwight :lol:
