Kinda disagree. I think it's concerning to see us getting pounded on the glass and turning it over so much. Turnovers have been a season long problem and rebounding is a weakness that only shows up against teams with bigs, which we can expect to see in the playoffs.

We only put up 72 shots tonight, which is very low. By comparison, the Hawks put up 88.

According to StatMuse, 70 FGAs is our lowest and we've been at 72 2x this season before tonight.

Sorry if I come off as a Debbie Downer after a win. The one positive I'll mention is our crunch-time quarter execution.

Ha this guy pretending he's not naturally pessimistic :lol:

It's a meaningless game that we won. No need for anxiety & intricate analysis.

I’m not sure, but it’s definitely a weird tweet by him. Idk why he added in the hope Bucks play their starters part.

Personally I think best case for us is that Cavs win and keep the 8th seed. They’re a soft team these days the Brooklyn would handle that game.

Not that it matters too much in the end though. I’d just love to see the Bucks get the rougher matchups lol

Yeah, that was weird. Could also be a Heat hater considering he called Herro a chucker and went out of his way to dismiss him as 6MOTY.

I'm also really hoping the Cavs win, as well. That should all but guarantee a Nets 7th seed and then it'd be gravy if the Cavs/Hornets beat the Hawks.

Herro's 9ast and 1tov

Assists

1-2: love seeing the Herro-Bam connection
3: Quiz wasn't lying when he said the Hawks made Herro their focus. 3 players on Herro, two guys wide open, and he finds Gabe for the corner 3.
4: Two guys this time, gets by both, baits Caleb's defender, kicks it out to a wide open Gabe. Beautiful.
5: AGAIN three defenders
6-7: Nothing special on Herro's behalf
8: YET AGAIN three defenders. Beautiful job staying patient and faking the shot to open up the gap for the pass to Dedmon
9: A great drive that draws 2 defenders and catches Gabe's defender sleeping. Herro must love Gabe after tonight's game.

Turnover:

1: a great effort play that he unfortunately was penalized for making. I don't even consider that a turnover.

To some pessimistic, to me one of the best posters in the board, always backing up his claims with videos, stats and personal analysis.

Seconded. A great analytical mind and a rational critic.

Emotions don't affect him. He stays grounded to a fault.

I'm just over his constant whining & crying about Spo. I see he's toning down his emotions about him recently & other stuff - thank f*ck.
