Humphries likes ATL so he can tan on Philips' roof

[alwaysatl]

Funny read on Kris. I'm a fan, like to see him back.

Someone needs to help him with his route.   There is no place in Atlanta that is 5 miles from Philips that would take me an hour to get there.     I know where Al lives which is about 3 miles and i guarantee he gets there in about 15 minutes most days.

Classic small talk in Atlanta: 1) Traffic, 2) Weather.

It's fun getting on the phone with folks from up north in Fall and Spring and talking about the glorious 70 degree weather here while they are freezing and snow is starting to pile up at their door.

Another great Bud mystery.  How is it Pero can get max minutes for Bud when he was here, but a better player like Humphries cannot?   The scheme cant be THAT hard.

Great comment and a great question. Humph actually does rebound and does hit his jumpers. Pero set screens but didn't rebound or hit shots. Oh, except for the one legged three pointer, he had that down pat.

I feel like it takes Bud a while to trust new players.  But yea, I think most fans were wondering why he didn't get more playing time.

I definitely agree that Kris should have played more in the playoffs, but Bud sat Pero for the most part against Cleveland last year.   Obviously going small is the key to our success against them.

This bothered me too.  How could Bud tell him that we're going "Another Way" going into the playoffs and we're so deficient on the defensive glass all year??

What way were we going?  Moose?

 

[Thomas]

Yeah, Moose is really a D league level guy still. Doesn't seem like he works out or improves at anything. Would be really helpful on the glass if Humph knocks him off the roster. Humph might be the only reasonably priced vet signing we can get for next year.

Bud is just a contrary person.

Yeah, especially in the fourth quarter of games that are closely contested.

If you are looking for a Memorial Day present may I suggest the following:

I'd love for Humphries to come back as long as the money is right. He gets boards, can shoot the three, from what I've witnessed seems like a savvy vet, played well with our guys. He probably won't be back though since he'll either get offered more than we will pay and/or he'll be mad because Bud benched him for much of the end of the season and the post season. Smdh

[Alex]

More reason why Bud is overrated as a coach.

Hopefully Humph is more surprised than upset about it. He really showed up against the Cavs who always make our bigs look weak. Weird he's bounced around the past couple of years. After he signed that big contract with the Nets he ended being treated as a salary dump more than once. Seems pretty skilled all around and definitely likes to eat glass.

Yeah, Bud thinks you can go a long way with players like Muscala and Antic.  LOL.

Apparently coaches are just holding that Kardashian thing against him.  You would have to be blind to not be a little impressed by him.

Yeah his on court decision making is much better than that bad off court decision of the not too distant past. Just don't understand why he chose to date and marry someone who has had a sex tape online. Stick to grabbing rebounds off the glass.

Let's keep it real about Kim.  That is a good looking female with an outstanding body.  Anybody that would call her ugly or disgusting, is either blind, or doesn't like women sexually.  

Her exes have something negative to say about Kim.  Everyone else close to her absolutely loves that woman and swears that she is a sweetheart.

Of course, most everyone around the world either loves her, or sees her as an attention whore.

So let's see.  A good looking, sexy, famous ( or infamous ) RICH female likes you, who may also be somewhat of a sexual freak.  

You're a rich b-ball player who only basketball heads know.  Hooking up with her just may improve your net worth, even if she's also using you to enhance her brand.

His biggest mistake was getting engaged and marrying her so fast.  She must've had some good ( bleep ), because he fell in love quick as hell.
