Hunter is crushing now. Appears he might have gotten used to the B2Bs.
-
Boy there's been multiple airball open 3's...one finally went down before the timeout...and I'm not surprised one was taken because it seems like there was 3 airball open 3's. Great block by Huerter btw.
-
I've actually begun to rethink it (and was open to it earlier). I think Edwards ends up being fine in the NBA. There's something at work that's been going on here, and even if you're being objective, it's hard to figure out which way. Either Crean's past work has been overrated and he lost what good ability as a coach he had before, or normal talented freshmen can really stink and they had a big dip earlier and are going to turn out fine, especially after an offseason of workouts and a potential foreign tour, and fitting in a OAD would have been better with 2020-2021. I don't see a fit with the Hawks if a top 3 pick is landed unless he'd be willing to play the young Harden role (not saying that he'd grow into Harden). I'd still shop that top 3 pick first (if one is achieved) for a potential trade down and maybe a young player that's already been playing in the NBA and has looked good.

Savage right there.
-
Reddish is balling out of control this quarter.
-
I actually agree with Supes, Collins is a better 5 overall defensively than 4 outside of boarding unless the 5 that's in the game can take you off the dribble. Boarding is only one small part defensively to playing defense. 4's take Collins off the dribble regularly...he is better at the 5 all around outside of boarding and boarding isn't the only thing you worry about on defense. Reality is, Collins might be a bench player on a winning team as he's a misfit player in lineups.
-
I fully expect NOP to pay the full max for him. That's why he's out of the picture as far as I care. -
I meant northcyde's boi could've played 30 minutes and it would've been an L. Magic were going on runs with him in too, he had the 2nd worst +/- of the notable players that got playing time. Only thing you could've actually argued was playing him more for development and conceding wins...because honestly Bruno ain't good right now.
-
He could have played 30 minutes and the Hawks would've still lost, that's what I mean. #BrunoFernandoisntgood
-
We lose this game if your boi played close to 30 minutes. I found it striking how the Magic were going on runs with him in anyhow. This stretch here is going to pad his +/- but it's really garbage time.
-
Lmao Teague wyd
-
You may think it's an excuse, but it's the reason they hold Bruno back, and are likely to continue to for the rest of the season, and probably most of next season too.
-
Actually, Chris K has said the Hawks organization doesn't want to play Bruno a lot because they think he's extremely raw, even rawer than what Reddish was, and think overexposing him would ruin his confidence. Classic case of a g-leaguer right now and not NBA-er if you were more prepared, the Hawks weren't.
-
Gonna see our favorite for stretches! Vince Carter at PF! Sadly, there's reason to simply because he's a better positional guy.
-
Ingram has steadily gotten better regardless of whether he's been on pro winning teams or not (which he hasn't been so far, but still). I'm not interested though, and the odds of him being a possibility aren't great. New Orleans might be wrong on their feel, but they plan to max him and love his fit with Zion. Better idea would be to look to try to develop Reddish. I could see him being a secondary playmaker. I'd rather look to steal Malik Beasley. Since Brandon Ingram is out and Davis Bertans is probably out, the guy to steal out there would be Beasley. But that might be hard.
-
Maybe Malik Beasley to bring in some better athleticism at SG? Might be a tough get, but I'm not feeling Kevin.
-
I'm not sure there's any reason to consider Kevin Huerter part of "The Core" anymore.
-
Nobody on the team can guard Embiid as it is.
-
So I suppose Lloyd thinks he can cash in the remaining fouls available by Reddish for money.
-
Wow lol
-
Hunter's been great this quarter too...
-
Maybe that'll be so if the refs stop blowing whistles. Might as well start Cam in the 2nd half though because the rate it's going, Cam's gonna foul out quickly anyway.
-
At this rate, Cam's gonna foul out in the 3rd so you might as well play him while he's available.
-
If Collins doesn't get suspended, you probably have a few more wins but not too many (one that comes to mind is that Portland game but I think it's on the side of a handful and not a lot). I think there might be some of what was going on in 18/19 again, like I alluded to as a possibility, teams deciding to blow off this team after a dumpster fire November, and this time bled into December some as well (and I believe we have a prime example that happened on Saturday that burnt that team). You can still look at the decisions made in the offseason and wonder, especially with the weakness of the East this year and a weak draft. I think playoff experience, even if it's a quick trip, would probably be more valuable than another high-lotto prospect outside of trade purposes, depending on what you do if you do a trade.

Cuban needs to do himself a favor and hush. In reality...they were most likely showing arrogance by probably resting their top two players, if this loss makes you mad...shouldn't have sat both of them. Hell...honestly shouldn't have anyway. You're not the Spurs in their heyday or any prestigious team, even if you're probably one of the most improved teams in the league this year...you're in a legit fight for 6-8. What on earth are you getting by trying to sneak past an admittedly bad team when both your top players are probably fine? If this loss is the sole reason they're not in 6th place in the end in the west, it's going to make me laugh.
