Atlanta will soon be set in their draft spot. 5 more wins than Chicago who are below them, and 3 or maybe 4 less wins than Dallas.

If there is one thing the Hawks would want, it is for Dallas to not get to pick 5. Hawks may not have a lot of interest in winning this game, but they are 5 and 5 over their last 10 and have won 2 in a row. Not the best way to tank.

Their rookie backcourt can shoot, John Collins is efficient inside, plus they have Tyler Zeller and any team with Tyler Zeller is a team playing to win.

Zeller's 10-day expires in a couple of days? Would have been easier for Boston if Zeller was gone. They also have that youthful player who was at Sacramento and Memphis recently, Vince Carter.

9 for 18 from 3 is Kevin Huerter against Boston for the previous two games. How does that happen?

Horford did the right thing getting out of there. Korver too. Millsap, probably. DeMarre Carroll, did he pick the wrong place to go to from Atlanta.

Might need more height in this game, Robert Williams, as Len and Dedmon are large while Collins can dominate at power forward.

WIN! as we should!

Pacers very easily may lose as much as 6 of their next 7 games - all VS PO teams & 6 of 7 away.

The time is NOW!

If anybody else is going to this one I’d love to say hi. Just hit me up.

I would appreciate it if Young doesn't make a career best 10 3s on that game.
Also, that kid Huerter is pretty good.
They are not tanking tbh. We must be careful on that one.

Yes, the Pacers run of success without Dipo is officially over. Their win aganst OKC last night was only their third win against a playoff team in the 22 games they've played without him. The'yre now doomed as 11 of their last 13 games are playoff teams, and one of those two that aren't is against Orlando, who is fighting for a playoff spot. Their only easy game left is against Atlanta on the last game of their season. It's not out of the realm of posibility they fall out of the playoffs or down to the eigth seed.

Hawks can become a problem if they keep drafting well. Trae and Collins looking like modern day Nash and Amare

I think I founnd that my second favorite team is now Brooklyn.

But Atlanta is right there for me. I love Trae Young man. John Collins might be my fav young big in the league. It seems like they got their whole org on the same page. The rebrand with the hiphop culture in Atlanta. QC being there. The arena upgrades. The drafting, the development. I am really really high on ATL going forward.

That said, we should still win this easy. Do your job.

Kidding! Treat every opponent with respect. Have appropriate fear. Execute your game plan. Build good habits. Keep improving in the details. Every night should be a preparation to become the best version of a playoff team we can be. Also, have fun doing it!

This is Very Well said.
That's Everything, in a Nutshell.

Yup. Beautifully written & very comprehensive!

WIN THE MOTHER **** GAME, YOU INCONSISTENT & FRUSTRATING MOTHER ****!

I love to win every game, but I would not be upset if they lost to the future GOAT in Trae Young. But honestly this is a really easy win if they just play with any modicum of urgency. Atlanta doesn't know how to play any defense and you could just run PnR against Young/Collins all game long and drop 150 on them. Plus they lead the league in turnover rate so Jaylen Brown should have a fun time in transition.

I bet Kyrie's hip or thigh or calf flares up between now and gametime.

Agreed. I know people like Young and Collins.

But I have been very impressed with Huerter. He’s a pretty good athlete with decent size at the 2. Look like a great shooter under pressure.

ConstableGeneva · Post #19 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Sat Mar 16, 2019 3:09 am

Consecutive win #2 of 30 in about 16 hours. Let's go!! **** my sanity. I'm refusing to lower my expectations. It's still all about 18 THIS season.

While I’m never happy about injuries, if you asked me to add three guys to this list right now, I’d be hard pressed to pick a better set of three.
