Dislocated finger hurts like hell though.

Losing streak over!  Now let's beat the Nets and improve our pick from them!

An aside: I'm working in Athens this week and may go see Anthony Edwards Wednesday night.  If I do, I'll try to get some pics to upload here.

Happy Birthday, De'Andre!

I bet Josh wishes he was about 10 years younger.  He'd LOVE this era of basketball, in which even 30% three point shooters have the green light to jack it up.

I don't care what anyone says, holdin a team under 80 points in this current NBA is impressive.

GSW's  lowest point total this season was 87 vs HorCats earlier in November. They have scored 90+ in a their other games, yes even with their GL roster.

Does a dislocated finger usually result in missed games?

In today's NBA guys are held out over a paper cut.

If I'm Steve Kerr, I'm definitely letting the Warriors hit Magic City tonight.  After a bad loss, that's a nice consolation prize before you get back on the plane.

You get in with no cover if you bring a trophy... or so I'm told...

Steve's got a few Western Conference trophies he can scrounge up.

I need everyone to be silent about Cam Reddish presently. His guarding was alluring and he comes to be effective only for that.

[Gray Mule]

Critics just have to, no matter what.  Some have become haters.  Their superior knowledge that they believe belongs to them has to be shown.

So, Atlanta's NBA team isn't perfect.  Some of their bench players are really G League players or veteran players on bloated contracts that Atlanta has taken for future draft picks.  Time to pick on our head coach and demean him and everything that he does.

On a night when the Hawks win and hit all their free throws except one, critics have a field day with the team shooting.  Damian Jones has his finest game as a young pro.  Wouldn't know this.  

All the coaches and all the players may really be no good.  Doesn't matter.  They all are ours.  They are the Atlanta Hawks and we are Hawk fans.  We grow flustrated.  We want to win.  We want to win NOW!  We all want all our players and coaches to be perfect.  Note:  Only one man was ever perfect and they crucified him.  Building from the ground up is slow work.  Hawks could just throw in the towel, change everything and go back to being almost good, winning many more games and hoping for the best which never comes.

Who? Gotta google this I know I know, it was a good bit a couple years ago and still relatable today.

 

Nice work lw3, got in last night and watched the 2004 Hawks beat the 1999 Warriors. Maaaan, seriously why did I feel like I can play in this game? The cuts were slower, the passes more telegraphed.

Having said that a W is a W and beating the Warriors will never get old for me. 
 

Hunter’s stroke looked good but a lot of open looks. Still a huge positive. 

GO HAWKS!!!!

This game going in slow motion.

I thought it was my eyes from the traveling (no pun intended).

That was JV vs the 7th graders... 

But we got the W. 
 

ps Bruno my man you gotta finish those!-Nique The lay in dunk. It’s funny because Bruno usually destroys rims but he couldn’t decide this time

He fixes his offense.

Love, love, love his defense though.

His offense ain't bad, it's his scoring and shooting that is well... awful
