San Antonio up over NY by 14 with 5 minutes left in the third quarter.  

Oh look, I found the jinx.

Oh well...yeah, they should be good then.

So...Milwaukee. They might well sit their starters. It'd be a power move to avoid Miami.

Bucks fans are talking about tanking that game. Knicks is just a much easier matchup for them.

I'm not sure who I want to face either.  Miami's looking better, but they've been spectacularly inconsistent this year. 

It seems like right now the only way we get homecourt is if we face Miami or we are the 5th seed and play the Knicks.

It would be a punk move, tbh.

One more and you and Dejay become some Nostradamus mugs! 

You're damn right. We knew it all along, lol.

And a special shoutout to the Sixers for showing up tonight (note sarcasm)...

It's a tough call. Miami has a better deeper squad, Butler, Adebayo, Nunn, Herro, Dragic, Robinson. But NYN style gives us issues, plus they have Hawks killer Julius Randle.

@kg01 Looked like a shoulder thing, went back to the locker room.

We gotta win out to get 4th and we need some help. Meaning NY needs to lose a game or Miami needs to win out. Miami is likely to win out. I don't see Milwaukee wanting 7 games dealing with a team that gives them matchup issues compared to the Knicks which is fairly a walk in the park for Milwaukee

Spo has proven himself to be a solid play off coach. He's pretty good at finding match ups.

I actually would prefer Miami. I like our matchups against there matchups and they can't guard Trae at all. The Knicks are a pain in the ass. We can beat them but they don't lack athleticism like Miami does while playing even tougher than the Heat. 

 

The Heat are a better team than the Knicks but the Heat have legit matchup issues against us

Just a little Bogi update.  On the season he's shooting 47.25% overall and 43.8% from three on 7.6 attempts.  He's also shooting 90.9% from the line.  

He's having one of the all time great shooting seasons for a Hawks shooting guard.  Just a magnificent signing by Schlenk.  I had no idea he'd be this good. He's playing at an All NBA level to be honest.

Bogi is the biggest reason for our turn around. Elite sniper. Averaging close to 44% on 7.6 attempts a game. That is absolutely top notch. Highest percentage among anyone in the NBA shooting 7 or more attempts per game.

Schlenk strikes again!
