Game Thread: Hawks at T-Wolves -- 12/28

[benhillboy]

You know what ? Bob Rathbun may be my favorite NBA announcer of all time..

Haha! He doesn’t come with the statistical analysis or background info that I would prefer like the “best” do (thinking Mike Breen) but aside from that he is awesome. I didn’t know he was from Rhode Island but he does put you in that mode of Old School Big East Ball.

I just wished he had a much better partner. A dude like Vince would be awesome in the booth alongside Bob.

Trae had a good game, but the win puts the Hawks at #5 in the lottery.

Feb is when tanking matters. We were in 1st for the tank in Jan and fell all the way to 5 when the season ended.

He is the worst as far as broadcasting. Every time someone on the other team misses a three, "Bob, that's a bad shot." No, it's not Nique, Do you think it's still 1985? Some of the things he says are so outdated.

Hawks starting to gel. I like it. Screw tanking. All the bottom teams have about the same odds of getting Zion anyways.

I like tanking but it's not Feb yet. We can win right now. It's fine.

With the new lottery odds there is almost no point. It's better guys learn how to win.

48 games left to win 18, the lowest guess!

Fun game. We really showed some toughness. We do have to remember that if Minny shoots even 65% from the FT line we lose the game.

Refs were horrible. Trae didn't seem to touch him at the end. I don't know what that was. And honestly seemed like a foul on that final 3 point shot. You know someone like Harden would have gotten that call.

The attention paid to rebounding is a refreshing change from the Bud days. Outside of Dwight it seemed like he didn’t give a damn and that’s a no-no. Luckily he has enough ready-made rebounders in Milwaukee

When are they not? Sadly in today’s NBA that Okogie “play” would have been a shooting foul had he been a marquee player. It’s sickening because it was a clear offensive foul.

[High 5]

That's not a foul if the refs call it by the book and Okogie had a wide open look if he wanted it. I don't think I have ever seen a team shoot themselves in the foot more than the Wolves did last night.

Minny had can't win-itis but young Hawks were instrumental in the W

If we're really tanking might want to move Baze and Ded. This team could win over 30

Great thread lw3 as usual as well as some sprinkled in humor along the way. Love it. We got a look at the future tonight as I just finished watching the game on delay. Our future backcourt looks like they will be inventing the 4 point line and are ready for it if and when it is implemented. Lol.

Baze and Dedmon are showcasing like crazy. Lin needs to showcase better tonight he looked like a ymca player at best.

Collins is one of the most mobile and nimble big men that I’ve ever seen play. It’s seems outlandish to say such a thing but his body moves around like a big small forward, which is pretty awesome as far as the flexibility it allows us as a team.

Lw3 and Bird y’all are funny. You remind me of Sonny n Cher! Keep it up! Haha love.

We have the Cavs tonight. Trae is a Cav killer..funny to say that about someone in their rookie year but I think he is and will be for the rest of his career. Among the teams Trae will haunt..Knicks, Mavs, Magic and these here Cavs..maybe the Bulls too we shall see.

GO HAWKS!!!

Ps A couple of Trae’s passes were ridiculously on point and the one underneath to Dedmon had some english on it! (Not Alex)

"Is Wiggins and kg01 the same dude?" - Soth

Haha, kidding. Man Wiggs had a bad night.

Towns got abused on D, btw.
