  1. Is this a sign of what Quin's offense will be next year?
  2. Oh no! Just when I thought Dre had gotten past the injury bugaboo! . Please don't be anything serious
  3. I want to watch as much Hawks basketball as I can, yes, even in a frustrating season. So give me the playoffs. I'm hoping we have a showing like the 20072008 Hawks vs Boston, where everyone expected a sweep and we took Boston to 7 games.
  4. No lineup shake up, but changes to the staggering and timing of minutes for Trae and DJ. Also the end of bench rotation guys getting some run.
  5. If we are in the play-offs I don't want us to get blown out. I want a fight - it can only help the players for next season.
  6. I would like to see DJ take the ball more to the rim on lieu of pulling up for the midrange...when he gets into the paint there are option to score or pass.
  7. After struggling for much of the season, for the month of March (1 game left): Trae: 43.4% JC: 36.7%
  8. Adam Silver hopeful of NBA CBA deal by end of week NEW YORK -- NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Wednesday afternoon that there has been progress made toward striking a new collective bargaining agreement with the National Basketball Players Association, and that he can "foresee" a potential new deal being agreed upon between now and Friday night's deadline to opt out of the current agreement. "I think both sides understand that this is a window of opportunity that we should try not to miss," Silver said during his news conference at the conclusion of this week's meeting of the league's board of governors in midtown Manhattan. "Because, if we don't have the deal done this Friday, the next real deadline is June 30, but that's the very end of the season. "The whole idea behind these early deadlines [is] to try to avoid going right up to the line." Silver said the league and the NBPA have separated the various issues on the table into different groups, from player health to systemic issues with the league to various economic discussions, and said both sides can "acknowledge we've come closer together." Still, he said, there is a "gap" between where things currently stand and where he believes they will need to go in order to get a new deal done ahead of Friday night's deadline for discussions. One thing that seems unlikely to happen, however, is that the two sides will go into next season operating under the current agreement. While there have been discussions for the better part of a year over getting a new deal done, the current one allows both sides the opportunity to opt out of the final year of the deal, or to let it run through the 2023-24 season. Asked whether he would be all right with it running through next season and then expiring, Silver said he would not be, saying several things have changed since the deal began in the 2017-18 season. "It's part of this collective bargaining agreement that this opt-out existed, so we wouldn't be acting outside of the collective bargaining agreement by exercising it," Silver said. "[But] certain dynamics have changed since we negotiated this collective bargaining agreement. I won't go through the list, but media is one of them. We think there are necessary changes that we would like to make in the current collectively bargained relationship that take into account the realities of what media, the media world looks like now as opposed to what it did in 2017." https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35995090/adam-silver-hopeful-nba-cba-deal-end-week
