The bench can't do what it did today in the playoffs.

The starters got this game in control and it almost got pooped away while the bench was in.

Maybe I should keep on talking smack.

Yep...this Braves team is still pretty bad this year, the reason they swept the Nationals is because they've been owning them of late anyway.

It's 2014 all over again.

Welp, they had a chance, but that defense...

Another Pistons like game after a big win before the game...sigh.

Unbelievable 

I'm a bit late at posting this (I thought about doing so last night but couldn't on my tablet) but while I would probably take the Knicks season series with a grain of salt given that two of the games happened with Pierce as the coach and because it looked like Young was about to put them away before he got hurt under McMillan, they will still be tough.

Credit is deserved, they're good.

I don't think the Sixers or Nets want to see either team...heck, whoever comes out of the play in is going to be a challenge as well most likely the way they're going with 7-10.

4-2 is very doable IMO, and it would be a nice completion to what's been a very good turnaround.

**in the regular season, that is.

Oh man...Bogi...

Oklahoma City is currently down over 60 points today?

Is that right?

*insert injured Hawk*

I had started out watching this game, but wound up watching more of the Braves. Good decision, although I'm still disappointed about where the Braves are at.

**insert injured Hawk picture, that is

Great win.

Bump

Not many games in but this looks good already. Sigh. It's apparently against Atlanta law to have more than 1 good pro sports team in the main 3 sports since the Hawks are top 10 per net rating, even if it's not likely they do anything other than scare somebody in the playoffs.

Reason it looks good is this Braves team just has completely different vibes. If they fall behind, you expect them to lose so far, when in recent years, they'd be able to fight back and win.

AA looks bad too for choosing to let one of the major strengths of the team walk so far.

Kevin Huerter may actually be good.

We've shown that we can win a few games with Young out but it's not something that I'd count on happening consistently, even if the record before tonight is 3-0 with Brandon Goodwin starting at PG. 

I'm hoping to tread water while he's out but with Capela also out tonight, yeah, I don't think tonight is happening and will happily eat crow if I'm wrong.

Way to make me eat my words about tonight. I'll watch the highlights when I lay down later tonight.

No

What a play by Young there.

He did have that 8 game stretch closer to the start of the season that was not great at all but I'm happy with his season overall.

I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that he puts up a split that includes a 44-45% FG and a 3 point percentage of around 37-38%. Maybe a season of 24 PTs/10 AST too...

It looked like for a while the Hawks weren't going to get a stop, but they stepped it up nicely to get it done.
