Moose finally getting a chance to play some minutes.  Really hope he has a good showing.

 

This game just got a lot more interesting.

At what point do people stop questioning The Don?
 

Yeah I can't see it unless we get a huge lead. I keep wondering when we're gonna have one of those Pop style games where he rests the starters and plays the young guys the whole game but I guess our starters are too young or still need all the experience together that they can get before that starts to happen.

 

Even if it's not all of the starters, at least he's partially getting the drift.

Bud is obviously more concerned with winning games than Pop because we still have to prove ourselves as a team.  We want superstars like Marc Gasol to think we're one big piece away from a championship, and nothing will look better than a 60 win season.  It will also help in resigning Millsap at a bargain.  A 60 win team with cap space has more leverage over a player than a 45 win team.

I like it. Big spot for Dennis and Moose to prove a little more to Bud.

Surprising team to sit starters

[JTB]

Good move! Man bud really shows signs of being the next coach pop...lol

[Ryaan]

That means the House of PAYNE will be off the bench getting minutes (hopefully)

[Alex]

Payne isn't smart enough to play Hawks basketball.

Not when you consider their coach is probably Budz' bud.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not crying foul.  He's clearly earned the benefit of the doubt.

I was waiting for the game thread to post that I hoped we'd see 20+ minutes out of Shredder, Thabo, Scott, and Moose tonight.

3 games in 4 night on the Road is the perfect time.

I guess Al plays PF tonight, Moose will guard Noel, he has no bulk so Moose won't get pushed around. Moose should be able to match his activity.

My guess is Al and Korver will be on the maintenance schedule tomorrow against Boston.

I'm excited to see Moose ball out tonight.  Been waiting for this all season!  Hope we still beat the Suxers by 20.

Bud is SERIOUS about this rest O.o

[Dnice]

Oh ___ son...i thought the bench would get more time, but not like. this.

[JETSET]

I wouldn't be worried about those 3 being out if lw3 made a game thread. No game thread plus them three out could be a recipe for disaster. We lost to milw by 30 the last time.

[Eddielives]

I love what Bud is doing.  If we lose, it's just a wake up call to bring us back down to earth while getting the starters some needed rest.  If we win, our bench gets some valuable time to show what they can do and that we're even more deep than we maybe thought.  

[NBASupes]

This is good. We need to rest Sap and Jeff. Playing too many mins. DMC doesn't need to burn out. His energy is a HUGE pt of his game.

[Randy]

So is Bud going to list Teague, Milsap and DMC as DNP-Old?  On a related note, I don't think the Hawks are going keep winning forever.  I have a bad vibe about tonights' game.
