Official Game Thread: Nuggets at Hawks

[lethalweapon3]

“Psst… Trae! C'mere. You ever heard of Henny Youngman?”

 

Here’s all I’ve got, ahead of today’s game between our host Atlanta Hawks and the Denver Nuggets (7:30 PM Eastern, Fox Sports Southeast and 92.9 FM in ATL, Altitude TV in DEN).

Keep That Woman and That Family far, far away from All-Star Sunday in Atlanta. And, from Oklahoma. On any off-day before or after the break. Yes, Kougar Kim, this means y’all.

Hawks fans, when was the last time you thought of Kris Humphries? It’s probably been more than 72 days, right? Exactly.

Chandler Parsons thought he was in the clear after fooling around with Kendall, correct? Krash.

LeBron had to leave sunny Florida to return home to icy Ohio, just to save Tristan Thompson from The Kurse that nearly ate Lamar Odom alive, and poor Tris still can’t quite escape (believe me, he’s tried). If they want to double-down on Canadians, they can go chase after Jamal Murray (career-high 50 points with no FTs on Friday, because he can make buckets with a hand or two in his face or with a nifty pass from his center and without pleading for help from the refs. Must be nice.) on their own time, not ours.

D-Book! Be careful, young man. I'm not even talking about your pending stay in The A.

I do not know the current cuffing statuses of Trae or JC or C-Redd or D-Hunt or Reddy V, and I don’t care to find out from TMZ, not until after at least, like, a postseason run or three. Let me catch Kim, or Kourt, or Kylie, or Cait, or Rob, anywhere around this town this March and I will personally call Mayor Keish and inform her of a citizens’ arrest underway.

We’ve already got fifty-leven “Real” “House” “Wives”, wannabe Insta-celebs in this town who can’t get married, can’t stay married, and haven’t Swiffered a floor since the close of the Byzantine Empire.

Listen to my mayor, Kim and Kompany. We Full!

 

Let’s Go Hawks!

Nuggs' Game Thread (https://www.nba.com/gamenotes/nuggets.pdf) has Uncle Paul still sitting this one out (sprained knee). Also out is backup JaMychal Green, who injured his shoulder not even two minutes into Wednesday's loss in Washington (Denver also lost on Tuesday in Boston, 105-99), and missed out on Jamal's 50-burger in Cleveland.

Murray and near-30-year-old "rookie" Facundo Campazzo are stepping up also because the Nuggs are missing guards P.J. Dozier and Gary Harris, leaving Denver without four of their top nine minute-loggers.

Which Reddish do we get today on offense? Boston G1 or Boston G2?

Is LP back for this game or is it still Nate's show?

Not too much of a fan of a Sunday night tip..I guess it being 7:40 or so is best for the players, but I'm off all day just waiting, it's after 6 and it's way off for tip...lol

He'll have no choice tonight.  I'm assuming that Capela may be in foul trouble going up against Jokic.  We'll need all of our bigs going up against him.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Hawks win by double digits tonight.

Why?

Just because everyone expects the Hawks to lose this game.  Vegas will make a killing tonight with a Hawks win.

Denver is -2.5, which looks like an easy pick.  Money will be heavy on the Nuggets.

 

But watch how the game goes.

[Dnice]

Well hopefully Denver's road weary a little..I doubt it.

No one is expecting a Hawks win. So maybe we catch them by surprise. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Yeah  . . we'll need all of the bigs tonight.  Bruno and Okongwu will have to hold the fort.  Hopefully Nate won't opt to put Collins at center, because he'll get in foul trouble too.

[Carmine]

Keep shooting Huerter

I would sub out Capela right here early, so that he doesn't pick up foul #2 before the 2nd half.  Bruno or Okongwu should get a chance to play right here, instead of opting to go with Gallinari.  I'd bring in Gallanari to sub in for Collins toward the end of the 1st quarter, along with Capela to protect him.

Before the 2nd quarter.
