Official Game Thread: Hawks at Timberwolves

[lethalweapon3]

“S GON’ GIVE IT TO YA! HE GON’ GIVE IT TO YA!”

 

Jeff Teague returns to Minnesota as his Atlanta Hawks face the Minnesota Timberwolves (8 PM Eastern, Fox Sports Southeast and 92.9 FM in ATL, Fox Sports North in MSP) in what will be a pivotal oh who am I kidding it’s time for

TRADER TRAV’S DEADLINE KARAOKE!

HIT THE MUSIC!

 

 

Why teams bait? Once it’s time, they make me wait?

Whoo!

 

I rep The ATL best, turns out, we’re 100 percent cap-rich.

Even when we’re playing crazy.

Yeah, my Hawks got problems, that’s the human in them.

Swing deals, then we solve them, what ya gonna do then?

 

Y’all could escape cap hell, at least a little.

Just gimme more than a bag o’ Skittles.

We might even trade down, but your draft return’s whack.

So now you’ve found out I’m not cuttin’ no slack.

 

Why teams bait? Once it’s time, they make me wait?

Junk offers, salaries won’t aggregate.

LL Cool P sat me on the bar stool.

Said, “you’d better get me useful vets, fool.

Pull a heist on those loopy Chi-ca-go Bulls,

More steals from the Minnesota Blunderwolves.

Truth Hurts: we need players I don’t need to pull like

DEANDRE’ ANDRE’ BEM BEM BRYYYYY.”

 

You thought you’d make me part

with J-Bap? That ain’t smart.

You got a truckload full of picks?

No? Then don’t even start.

Hey, I’m glad you’re still a 6-seed,

Relying on Joel Embiid,

But Ben will never, ever, ever, ever, ever learn to shoot threes.

Trae puts the ‘si-i-ing’ in passing,

Ain’t worried ‘bout no place in the standings.

So you can tell Ben, “Play Fortnite!” when you see him.

It’s okay. He already in KAT’s DMs.

 

Why teams bait? Once it’s time, they make me wait?

Capela, since y’all need a tax break.

Steve Koonin pulled me in the corner there.

Said, “go find folks that can guard a chair.

Mo Bamba? Or how ‘bout Robert Covington?

The latter is LL Cool P’s favorite son.

Truth Hurts: dump them busters that’s expiring and

DEANDRE’ ANDRE’ BEM BEM BRYYYYY.”

 

I’d trade Alex Len in a minute,

If his health status was definite.

But Evan Turner’s spry.

Plus, he can shoot – I lied.

Now that he got ghost, we’re like,

Bye-Bye, Bye!

 

I’d ditch Jabari in a second.

‘Cause Collins in the middle isn’t fecund.

We start Damian Jones.

That’s why I work these phones.

I don’t make no bones, we need

Fi-yi-yives!

 

Why teams bait? Once it’s time, they make me wait?

Poison pill contracts? Don’t appreciate.

T-Ressler got me sittin’ in the hot seat.

Said, “better get players that can compete!

Work a four-way with the L.A. Lakers,

Hang up if you’re offered Dion Waiters.

Truth Hurts: we want talent more exciting than

DEANDRE’ ANDRE’ BEM BEM BRYYYYY.”

 

 

Let’s Go Hawks!

@lethalweapon3  I read that entire thing in Lizzo’s voice with rhythm!  This is ☝ of my fav ones of the year so far. Also, I never knew Lizzo was from my hometown of Alief In Houston, also shared hometown of Rashard Lewis!  

 

Go Hawks!!!

oh maaaan. Squawk classic. So good I had to read it..sing it again!

Tampering things down for this particular game I would feel that a rotation of Trae and Goodwin at point and Kevin and Graham at SG is a better bet than involving what we have seen from Jeff so far. This said with how is Cam's noggin at the moment as well.

True but he’s playing his x club. Slightly motivated?

With that said, Goodwin ripped down a defensive board last game with some fierceness. I like that dude’s drive. He won’t give up on any play and tends to make the right play more often than not.

Believe we should get used to Goodwin being around for a while. As Jeff Goldblum said "Nature always finds a way".

5:30 PM Injury Report just dropped, so the statuses are looking like

Available - Trae (elbow), Reddy V (adductor); both Trae and Kevin upgraded from probable

Probable - Bruno (calf), Hunter (ankle); both upgraded from questionable

Out - Cam (concussion), Bembry (hand), Jabari (shoulder), Len (hip)

 

for the Wolves, 

Questionable - Crabbe (patella)

Out - Jake Layman not from State Farm (toe, he's been out for awhile)

Please lets get some minutes with Bruno tonight. Please and all six fouls used up if you will.

Daaaamn @lethalweapon3...you had me rocking to that beat. 

[Spud2nique]

Minny -4  o/u 239

I guess Vegas expects little defense.

If you like offense, tonight may be the night for you. That’s a lot of points. Watch it still hits on the over.

I wonder how NBA's concussion protocol works and if it is the same as the NFLs. 

[Thomas]

Can you foul out in twelve minutes? My guess is hell yes.

On TS radio interview, said Reddish had the 'test' and if he was able to 'practice' and didn't experience any symptoms, headaches, dizziness etc. He would be good to go. Guess he didn't pass.

(Not the exact words he used but something like this)
