  1. More Okongwu, less Bogi. That is all. It’s that simple.
  2. Has anyone heard an ATL crowd like this? Makes me proud
  3. I’d like to see Okongwu get some more minutes defending Giannis. There’s never going to be a perfect option but I feel like he can disrupt him a bit.
  4. Value isn't just based on stats, chemistry is equally as important. That's a big "Hell to the naw" for me. This team is clicking and you don't dare mess that up to bring in something new. Can't put a price tag on winning.
  5. Trae is pulling all star game shizz in the ECF. I’m speechless.
  6. To me, a just coming off an injury Cam would be better than Bogi and his knee at this point.
  7. I didn't even realize it was the draft lottery until the day after. Normally I have that day bookmarked on the calendar. Good problem to have.
  8. The 2015 team was very talented as a sum of its parts, a true team where everyone had a role they played well. That said, I never entered the playoffs super confident with them. I figured they'd make somewhat deep in the playoffs due to their high seeding but I didn't sense that "it" factor. Nobody that was a superstar who wanted the ball and wasn't afraid of big moments. That is something you absolutely need in the playoffs when the game slows down. A lot of the series felt like a struggle and I wasn't surprised when the Cavs swept them. Even if we matched up talent wise, they had experience and we couldn't recover when they threw their punches. With this team we have a superstar who relishes the big moments and the spotlight and have had some others along the way - Huerter in Game 7, Lou always has a chance to go off, Gallo hitting some big shots, and Bogi had his clutch moments against the Knicks before the knee issues. If you don't have experience, confidence can go a long way in getting you where you're trying to go and this team is very confident. Even if they don't beat the Bucks I feel pretty good saying that we'll see a competitive series and we won't have to get the brooms out if we keep up our play.
  9. The success of this series for me will be how many times I see this face:
  10. Or LP for that matter. Goes to show you that when you respect your players and go to war with them, rather than blame them they'll fight like hell for you.
  11. About time. You let Dwight get away with it he'll keep doing that crap.
  12. Anyone else notice OO shutting down Embiid when he was on him in the first half? That stood out to me the most and props to Nate for sticking with him.
  13. Co-sign. All of this. Free throws hurt the most but Nate quite an ass of a lineup out there that shouldn't have been. Going high on the starter's minutes is ok with me this game if you are within reach to close it out and play one less game.
  14. There’s a chance but this is definitely one we should’ve taken advantage of.
  15. Atlanta crew always shows up on national TV. Whether it’s Harry the Hawk swooping around, the multiple scoreboard issues, or the lights cutting out. We have it all!
  16. Trae doing Trae things but I’m giving the halftime MVP to Huerter. Now get it together Bogi!!!
  17. Dermarr Johnson. A couple other notable busts: Adreian Payne Priest Lauderdale
  18. For matchup reasons, the Nets. For the petty side of me and the ability to take on and potentially beat Budenholzer, the Bucks. **Disclaimer: I am still focused on the Sixers but a guy can dream right? It has been too long since we have been in this position so the “what if’s” definitely creep in.
  19. Nobody looks like they want the ball. Youth showing.
  20. I’m really surprised how quick the refs have been to blow the whistle in this series. Been killing us and not allowing us to get any momentum, which we need offensively as a young team. If they keep calling the game the way they have been, no way we can win the series.
  21. Any traditional “PF” is being slotted as a center most of the time these days.
