Is Spo the coach of the year? Good call going small with the best defensive team. Robinson is poo

We got the Yurt now;)

If he has a good performance, I'm curious to see what spo decides to do with starting him with bam. We closed out going really small...

Honestly wasn’t too enamored with the small closing lineup but in the future we’ll have Bam in for Martin.

Philly isn't the same this year. I think we got them. Though this game could have worn us down a bit. I will say if we get that win, we've got some serious resolve.

Wait when weren’t they good??

Nothing public, but things seemed to have thawed a bit, at least on court last year after they seemed really tight in the bubble. There was some gossip about it being due to Tyler not wanting to workout with Jimmy during that summer or something. Mostly TMZ level ish though, but the on court chemistry seemed to take a bit of hit between them.

Anyway, winning cures all, so happy with the result today.

I'm happy we got the win, but it shouldn't have been close.

Our SL in the first quarter got us up to a 17pt lead and left it at 14pts.

Spo decided to dump the entire bench all at once, which is pretty uncharacteristic of him.

He didn't call a timeout or make a substitution until the Hawks cut it down to 1.

We're very lucky that our players carried us tonight and made some big plays.

Robinson is having trouble with consistency this year but it’s easier to manage that now with him coming off the bench. If he’s hot Spo will go with him but if he’s chit he’ll get the quick plug

Ded with the team worst plus minus tonight. He will try and forget this one. He bogged the flow of the game down most of time he was in.

He is really coaching circles around the league right now.

The game was going to be a dog fight the moment we realized that refs wouldn't let anything go.

not that we weren't fouling but my goodness. then the team failed to adjust and kept being aggressive on D and giving away free throws. give some credit for Hawks for playing desperate, as they were.

we got some players back and I knew that we gonna go through bumps and bruises. we got the W and that's the most important.

Hope Spo makes sure to play Robinson & Yurt together. Someone needs to rebound if he starts bricking!

Strus has definitely helped with Duncan being so on and off.

I gotta say Strus really may be our most explosive scorer. When he hits his first shot or 2 and catches fire he usually snaps, it’s pretty wild

Hope Strus can go tomorrow. His face looked broken on the bench :cry:

We’ll need every bit of Yurt and Dedmon tomorrow against Embiid. That small ball chit will not fly against that behemoth.

With you on the first 2, but Robinson is definitely not poo. He just needs to get into a groove and string some good games together. I thought he had it going the last few games until tonight. Gets another chance tomorrow. But when he's on, he's a game changer with the amount of attention that is paid to him. Right now though, teams don't seem too concerned

hopefully he can change that soon.

Strus will be fine. He just has a laceration under the eye. Some ice tonight will do him some good.

Wasn't able to comment on this earlier, but how the hell do they review it and not call a flagrant? Elbow to the face which draws blood = common foul???
