Official Game Thread: heat at Hawks

[NBASupes]

Just watched the 4th. We just got a lot of really good players. We always knew we had more talent than a lot of teams but just young. We can play now. I can't wait to see Hunter and Reddish back. Reddish looked tremendous in Nate 1st game. That gives me hope we can see the Reddish I projected.

Okay, which one of you tweeted this? (I like it.)

Surgery? I thought he let his broken foot heal on its own.

He never had surgery.

Pretty late to the game thread as I just got back from the game (first one in over a year!) but what an amazing overall team performance... 

• Goodwin stepped up in a big way
• Heurter was consistent and didn't turn it over too much
• Bogi locked in once again, very nice game from him
• Collins looked good in the paint and had another efficient offensive game
• OO!!!! He's looking better and better and these minutes were serviceable.  Sloppy turnovers but that's fixable.  He also was victim of some pretty suspect foul calls throughout the game (hard to tell live but a few of his looked super weak)
• Gallo back on the court, so nice to see.  Efficient game from him
• Lou did Lou things, got hot when we needed it and helped build that lead we maintained
• Nathan had a solid game, got one of his patented dunks in and played pretty good defense

Beating Milwaukee will require another game like this, but even better, so let's hope we can show up in a big way Sunday.

We at least need Clint to help build a wall against Giannis and control the glass.

Im not saying we are better without Trae. We need Trae obviously. But when he is out we might be better in certain respects. 

 

So the same goes for Capela, right?

Um no, why would the same go for Capela? Trae and Capela are completely different players, and effect the team in a completely different way, and each player's absence effects the team in a unique way. Your argument makes no sense.

Solo with that ole man strength

 

 

 

I can't even clown Utility Knife any more.  He's been playing decent basketball.

Even Bob tonight on the broadcast called him a Swiss Army Knife.  I don't know if I would go that far.

Solo definitely isn't this:

 

 

He's more of this:

You've got to respect his effort and communication on D, especially in a game like tonight where we were missing our defensive anchor.

I disagree. They had a lot of money committed to Fox and Buddy. It just wasn't tenable to pay him that, and they ended drafting an excellent replacement in Halliburton. We could pay him because we have so many guys on rookie deals. But rest assured, we will have to make some tough financial decisions in the years ahead. Heck, we are already have a tough decision in JC.

Agreed, but imagine having that much tied into two players, being all but forced to let a guy like him go, only to be sitting nearly 10 games under .500 anyway?

No one is talking about this, but the Wizards are HOT!  Those last few games against them this season won't be a gimme. 

 

Facts. Them boys playing well right now. Ever since Stephen A called Russ out.

They have always have been talented with two All NBA type guards leading the way.

So why did they collapse in the Knicks game, with Trae not available?

And in that game, the collapse was almost immediate,

Gallo is a steady force on that second unit. We missed Gallo's size, offensive threat that night. If we had Gallo available, that game never goes to overtime.

Thanks!  I thought no one had noticed this.  Just a small cog in the machine.  Nice to know a non drafted center is playing well in the NBA.  Our GM with another winner!!

[Carmine]

Great rebound win!
