I used to rag on Reddish until he started to play a bit more consistently 

Not during the season... I haven't written a single thing about Reddish during the regular season

4 months of watching the other Centres (they don’t deserve the American spelling) made Dedmon look like prime Garnett out there.

Just win, baby!

Let's see 'em give the Magic the same SEGABABA energy the Knicks gave us tomorrow.

 

Go Hawks!

It means that the Hawks had a 15 point lead in the 4th.  Then Pierce went small and then pulled both John and Trae for 3 plus minutes and lost the lead

That was on Trae too.  He started taking ill advised shots.  That's why Pierce got on to him and pulled him.  The lead was evaporating when Trae was trying to make the big play instead of the simple one. 

My god, you literally got me arguing against Trae. 

He had an good game scoring a poor game as a point guard in my opinion.  His teammates were making shots tonight. No need to put that much pressure on himself like earlier in the season. Let's just agree to stop debating this and enjoy the win.

Awful lot of complaining and agenda chasing after a tough win. They would've lost this game in regulation before. They were still pretty shaky but executed well enough down the stretch to get the win which is legitimate improvement. We have three 20 twenty somethings and a Rookie out there with a second year coach calling plays. We need to have realistic expectations here.

Kevin felt better than this defensively last year. I know he was horrible last year on D but it feels even worse now

Bet he is happy to be back and contribute big to this win tonight. A wanted man here. A strong homecoming for him.

This is one of the games I had nothing negative to say about LP

 

You're right Trae was doin his own thing at the end and I saw LP get on him I think in the 4th qtr

Game recap! 

Good win!  Dedmond was a god send. Can't wait for him and Client to get in the games together. 

Trae had a good game.  He was a little too selfish in the 4th - overtimes. I'd like to see him get in pass mode more than score mode. 

Kevin - Great game from him.  @NBASupes was right.  Dedmond really does help his defense. 

D' Hunter - That's the rookie I love to see.

John Collins - This dude is playing out of his mind.  Great all around game from him. 

Bruno was really rusty.  

Oh and Jeffery Teague - He had a good game too.  I'm glad we have him on the team.  The young guys did the heavy lifting, but the vet contributions were def. felt. 

Overall good win team!

I almost choked on a smoothie reading this lmao I wasn't ready

For those of you who are complaining about Trae need to stop and realize that he is a 21 year old 2nd year player.  Did he have some careless turnovers in the 3rd? Yes! Did he take some Ill-advised shots in the 3rd? Yes!  Did he get his act together in overtime and secure this victory?  Absolutely!  Now I don't understand the John hate at all.

No matter the sporadic flaws will always take the win and look to improve. Exiciting as hell game though even if I thought the ebb and flow might drop me for good, took forever.

YOu were O.K. with LP's game plan in the 4th with a 15 point lead?

Again, Trae had a good game. I just have high expectations for him. He's shown his ability to just take over games with his passing and scoring.  I do understand he's young and learning. I'm just saying I don't want the hero ball to turn into a habit.
