[Gray Mule]

Health is improving.  Thank you Chelsea Lane.  Hawks may be able to put up a good fight tonight.  Hope we get to see a minute or two of Watson.  He's only here 10 days unless ….

They all see Atlanta as easy wins. Hope we surprise them.

During games when Westbrick is chucking under .400 from the field, they might be better off without him. Toss a coin as to which Westbrick shows up.

Not one of our top 20 5-man lineups on 82games includes the three of them.

Minutes.  Two of the top 3 are Parker / Jones lineups that are clearly terrible.

Fun stat quiz question I tripped over while reading a Trade Deadline piece on The Ringer (https://www.theringer.com/nba/2020/1/7/21054829/trade-deadline-rumors-sellers-players).

Q: Cam's 36.3 2FG% is the second-lowest in the NBA among players who have logged at least 750 minutes. However, can you guess WHO is #1? Annnnd, WHO is #4?

Nice find.

Headless Chicken Baze lowest.

[AHF]

The hilarious thing is that as bad as Baze has been, he is still waaaayyyyyyyyy better than Turner.

Baze .486% TS%

Turner .434% TS%

lol, yep. 

Look at Davis Bertrans eFG%. OMG

[macdaddy]

Aldridge 51% from 2, 46% from 3?  Geez.  He's not shooting a ton of them but 74 attempts isn't a tiny sample.
