It may not happen, but ATL would be a very sensible choice for KD. Only have to worry about beating LeBron to get to the Finals. We need to show him we're almost to that point and that with him, we could.

Dennis isn't there yet. But, he is the future of this franchise. Believe that.

??? Stoke the fires. I have confidence our team and D will back the fans up.

Oh, I'd love to see Dennis rip that head band off if the game isn't contested. Or, if not him, let Hinrich do it. Would be EPIC.

Nah just boos. Or something about him being a tiny little b*t7h

I'd love for Dennis to rip the head band off at some point assuming the game isn't in jeopardy. Or hell, put Hinrich out there to do it. That would be epic.

Oh Isaiah is gonna hear it HARD

Relax. We should win in six. They can't beat us in ATL thouugh. But, I don't want it to get to that point.

Exactly, and that's on Teague any way you slice it. And, I doubt VERY seriously the plan was for Teague to try to make a three.

Everyone I've spoken with blames Bud--I fault Teague. Impossible to know if not inside that huddle though.

Couldn't care less. Bud trained Snyder...then Atkinson...and will train the next guy up. Seems hardly worth mentioning honestly. Bluntly IDGAF =)

Caustiously optistimic you're right. Like the news I'm hearing. LOL. Whatever. Only way Teague is back is if he BALLS out in the playoffs. And, Thabo will not be staring at SF--that will likely be a FA signee (unless we acquire one in a Teague trade.)

"Still" ?!?!?! Speak for yourself, brah. Never wanted that cancerous primadonna anyways.

For the first time in forever, I think @Diesel is onto something. I came in here to say this. Could be partly matchups, but Mike Scott was on point...perfect from the field in the first half. We probably don't win that game without him.

Duh. Al has moved his entire family/posse to ATL. He'll be Hawk net season 95%. Only exception would be how much pople show him. Seems like a pretty genuineguy thigh

Make that 35-13 to end the first. Miami leads Boston.

Heat are blasting the Celtics early. 33-12. Damn.

"I doubt they're excited/apprehensive enough about any of BOS/CHA/MIA to try playing WAS with a mind toward a specific opponent that's out of their control anyway. Whoever performs tonight needs to play well, and play well together." This fails to recognize they may be thinking about avoiding Cleveland til the ECF as AHF says below: AGREE WHOLE-HEARTEDLY. Go for the W tonight and hope for help. Wow. Agreed on no excuses. We should def be able to afford to play our bench. Only potential downside would be their reserves being more motivated to play hard and make an impression than starters who are already looking to vacation. I think it's likely we win and Charlotte wins. Heat/Boston should be interesting. I lean Boston given the Celts are at home, rested, and play a deeper rotation and Heat are away, coming off a close win at Detroit where they essentially only played 7 guys (Haslem and Amare played only 7 and 5 mins, respectively). Deng played 40+, Richardson 36, JJ 35, Whiteside 35, Wade 33, and Dragic 27 last night. It's weird though. Vegas has as only a 4.5 spread and it actually moved down from 5 earlier today, so something may be going on. I could see anything from a Heat win to a Celts blowout. Totally comes down to the Heat--I do think Boston will be playing to win.

Rotoworld reporting we may rest players tonight. WTF? http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nba/299262/budenholzer-could-rest-starters-wednesday?ls=roto:ATL:topheadlines

We avoid the Heat regardless. I feel good about our chances in a series vs both other teams, especially having homecourt. Charlotte is obv the preference.

I've got this: So, here's the playoff seeding scenario based on tomorrow's games (best I can figure): GAMES: Heat at Celtics, Hawks at Wizards, Hornets v. Magic SCENARIO 1: Heat win, Hawks win/lose, Hornets win: Heat 3, Hawks 4, Hornets 5. Celtics 6 SCENARIO 2: Heat win, Hawks win/lose, Hornets lose: Heat 3, Hawks 4, Hornets 5, Celtics 6 SCENARIO 3: Celtics win, Hawks win, Hornets win/lose: Hawks 3, Heat 4, Celtics 5, Hornets 6 SCENARIO 4: Celtics win, Hawks lose, Hornets win/lose: Heat 3, Hawks 4, Celtics 5, Hornets 6

Simply put, no way in h3ll.

Ha. Came in here to suggest Bud may have been considering to WAIT until the playoffs to do it....but this is better! HAHA. Even truer.

Game over, Heat win. So, here's the playoff seeding scenario based on tomorrow's games (best I can figure): GAMES: Heat at Celtics, Hawks at Wizards, Hornets v. Magic SCENARIO 1: Heat win, Hawks win/lose, Hornets win: Heat 3, Hawks 4, Hornets 5. Celtics 6 SCENARIO 2: Heat win, Hawks win/lose, Hornets lose: Heat 3, Hawks 4, Hornets 5, Celtics 6 SCENARIO 3: Celtics win, Hawks win, Hornets win/lose: Hawks 3, Heat 4, Celtics 5, Hornets 6 SCENARIO 4: Celtics win, Hawks lose, Hornets win/lose: Heat 3, Hawks 4, Celtics 5, Hornets 6

Well, Joe Cool just all but sealed it with a 3. Coming down to the last game. Does Boston have any incentive to win tomorrow? Do they get the 4 seed with a W?
