Good win by the Cavs.  They played well tonight.

The Dedmon high comes to an end.

 

Enjoy the break guys . . rest up . . and let's come back after the break with Capela.

Dedmon deserves a medal for making it out of that game with a +1.  I hope Capela is 110% goddarnit.

Why dont we go to the basket?  

We attempt it all the time, but most of the time we get the ball stripped away.

You can’t build a winning team around Trae/Collins/Huerter.

It’s not going to happen.

I listen to the away broadcast and the announcers were talking up John Collins. One of them flat out said, I am not sure Atlanta is smart enough to keep John Collins when he is due to get paid; but who ever does get him will be loving him in a few years because he is going to be something special. Brad Daugherty is part of their broadcast team and he was in 100% agreement.

If your PG goes for 27 pts - 12 asst, while shooting almost 50% FG . . and he's still ( -10 ), something is horribly wrong with the production from everyone else.

Trae was food defensively. It was an awful performance defensively from him, John, and Kevin. 

Offensively, it was rough. The NY and ORL game was fun.

Time to start talking about those familiar Hawk topics...Tanking for draft picks and who do you like in the lottery!

Way to keep it positive  

[RedDawg#8]

Defense. Fix it. Fast

[enrique]

Okay. Just got home from work. Can’t believe we just got out rebounded by 20 boards. All other stats are even. Except the one stat we need more of...points!!!!

how did dedmon and Collins only grab a few boards.

If you ignore defense you might think that.

On one end of the court. The issue is defensively. Its gonna be hard to start Trae and John. With Trae, it feels like we gotta go full Sixers- Iverson.

Clutch win for the tank.

Obviously I didn’t see the game. Will watch replay tomorrow. But the box score stat that jumps out to me was the rebounding. 

[gHost83]

massively outrebounded again.

[NBASupes]

I would say Dedmon was terrific but his foul trouble killed us early on

Cam with the best -26 game I've seen. He literally is what Pop said. A player could be a +20 and did nothing while another can he a -20 and had a great game. 

I don’t believe Pop believes that one bit. I believe the Spurs were innovators of following +/-.  Duncan’s game was predicted on all the things that make +/- explode.

[NBASupes]

Capela can't come back any sooner

Sexton and Garland shot under 42% from the field and they were worse from three. Nance, Porter, Thompson, and Drummond absolutely destroyed us on the offensive end.

[macdaddy]

Who was saying Heurter is a good passer?  I'm not sure he completed a single pass.  He attempted quite a few.  All around horrible game for Kev.  Cam didn't seem to be taking the game seriously.  Hunter looked scared to do anything.  Frustrating as hell.

That's why it's best not to think and do the research

Sexton and Garland was attacking the paint at will till the 2nd half. They are the big part of why the bigs were in foul trouble. What the hell are you talking about?

I'm also pretty skeptical about Hunter. Trae/Reddish/Collins/Capella could work though... we'll see soon enough; hopefully.
