Atlanta are favorites by 8pts.
Towns will be out with covid.
Malik Beasley and Russell will be the offense.
Naz Reid inside could give us problems. Remind Collins and CC that Reid is only 6'9".

Tim Reynolds: Update: The plane carrying the Minnesota Timberwolves to Atlanta has left the gate and is soon to be in the air, which would indicate that the Wolves believe they have enough players to play a 2:30 p.m. game tomorrow.

before the game someone should tell Collins that there is a new rule in place this year whereby if he is standing on the 3 point line and someone else shoots a 3 pointer he is now allowed to run to the rim and crash the boards. I know it's a radical concept, but hopefully he can figure it out.

In his defense, crashing the offensive boards that hard from the perimeter leaves us vulnerable to fast breaks for the opposing team if he whiffs. I would like to see us focus more on exploiting that inside advantage we have against most teams.

We get a win today.
I’m wearing my Trae city edition t shirt jersey today!
We need this one or I might cry and call Brad a bitch!

Let's let the guards and wings worry about fast breaks going the other way. He's a big and he should be crashing. It's pure laziness on his part. I saw one Saturday where there was a long rebound and he just stood there watching it until he finally realized that he might actually have a shot at getting the board and only then did he start to move for the ball, but by then of course it was too late.

Healthy or otherwise, this starting 5 seems like the best we can offer right now -- until Cam and Bogdan Bogdan find their shots.
I know they'll be exhausted in their 3rd game in 4 nights...after flying cross country yesterday. But i hop these 5 guys come out fast and hard and put this one away early.

This style of play is completely frustrating because growing up I was always taught to crash inside. But, as pointed out, it can less to easy baskets for our opponents on fastbreaks by always crashing for the rebounds.shakes0 wrote:before the game someone should tell Collins that there is a new rule in place this year whereby if he is standing on the 3 point line and someone else shoots a 3 pointer he is now allowed to run to the rim and crash the boards.

If Naz Reid plays significant minutes I believe he gets a double-double on us tonight.

Our so called coach only wants capela as having some length and muscle around.

15 turnovers, no wonder the hawks lost their momentum.
