Interesting minutes distribution they went to their bench early and we're riding our starters.

It would seem over the course of 4 quarters it'll be hard for a team to win that doesn't want to.

Tyler Dorsey is shooting 20% in his last 5 games. Brilliant starting lineup tank move to matchup Dorsey vs Booker.

Chriss with a nice start...9 pts, 2-2 on 3s, 3 blocks, 2 boards. He likes playing the Hawks.

If we didn't have that huge comeback in the last 90 seconds and the Chriss block at the very end in the first meeting we'd be a game ahead of 2nd place in the tank standings. If we win today, we drop to 5th.

This is terrible basketball. This tanking on this level is just sad

Josh Jackson really starting to look good out there. Looks like he's finally resizing that everybody can play at this level, and he knows he has to make the right moves, nearly everytime, to be successful. Something Chriss seems he's failing to realize.

Bender is so overrated defensively. Can't guard strong players, can't stop Schroeder to score on the perimeter...

To be fair, Chriss is looking good out there today.

I think when we have Chandler in the lineup with JJ -- He has no room to operate/spacing isn't there.

Weird to send Booker back in with 1:12 left and could pick up 3rd foul.

Hawks announcers bringing up that Bender played 30+ minutes against OKC and didn't score once.

Yeah, that's kind of what I mentioned about one impact Ayton might have.
