Official Game Thread: Wizards at Hawks (Manic Monday)

[Thomas]

Will give Westbrook credit for being a warrior. Would not want to meet him on a real battlefield. Jeepers. Just the same am glad he is on another squad. He is just too problematic for a team concept which we actually mostly have onboard now. Fun to watch him though, just as long as we win that is.

Washington wanted this one badly for Russ. 

Yep and everyone counted them out when they heard Beal was out...

Lou Will needs to wake the hell up..smh.Backup PG is what we need in the draft for sure...Im almost ready to give the backup reigns to Dunn and run the offense through Gallo....

Jared Butler, might be available when we pick. I like his game.

Would you rather we had lost? We will adjust for the next one. A win is a win in this league, it’s not easy to win. I’ll take it.

No, I’d rather we put a team away that we had on the ropes. I’ve seen many times Atlanta teams escape through regular season games with obvious flaws that never get addressed, because of pure talent. Fans scream a win is a win…..only for those flaws to pop right back up in the most important games of the season. These things matter. We won this game but they still matter

You can never question his effort. He's 100% all the time.

I dont get all of this triple doubel love..Its a great stat and all, but good lord...

If we go guard, we should go Tre Mann.  6'5" great in the pick and roll and a willing defender, but he'll have a lot to learn at the NBA level. 

I want both Tre Mann and Kai Jones.  Kai Jones is the perfect backup.

He's amazing. No one else can do what he does as a PG. I know you cant win a title with him as your best player, but he is very unique.

We clearly need a PG

I don't value it that highly but it is pretty historic, if for nothing else the effort the guy gives every single night and the fact he doesn't get injured often.  He grabs boards to push the pace which results in triple doubles but other than that, he's not much different than all the guards that get double doubles nightly

I love it. Shows massive impact on pressure one can apply

[Thomas]

Gray Mule's dessert right here. The Hawk's were 23 of 26 from the line tonight. Oh wait, that is not quite 90%. Dessert Light perhaps. Impressive stat which obviously we had to have tonight. Man alive.

Yes, Lou is looking bad lately. Dunn does not have Nate's trust.

Is LOu Will in the Playoff rotation? We'll probably only go 8 deep...Trae/Bogi/Hunter/Collins/Capela/Gallo/Huerter/Solo(for defense)..Not many min left for Snell, Dunn, Lou, OO. I expect The starters to play 38-40 min +...

[marco102]

You know I have high standards when I said 36 pts on 50% shooting, 5 rebounds and 9 assists is an okay game.   The six turnovers were disappointing. He's getting his floater back.  If his three comes back for the playoffs, the Hawks will be a super tough out.

Tre Mann. I've been on his bandwagon for a while.  6'5" so theoretically can play along side Trae. 

[marco102]

Bucks down 21 to the Spurs. Bud just can't beat Pop.  

The Bucks will def play full squad against Miami.
