John Collins has a habit of going over to referees and touching them, to explain his case.  Most refs let him get away with it.  

I hope he doesn't go over to Scott and touch him.  He may get a technical.

I had no idea Basketball Reference has full stats on referees.  Them boys don’t leave any stone unturned lol.  I’m sure CP3 has mined the numbers and come away with the feeling that Foster hates him.  Anyway Foster is from that East Coast/ DMV area that nearly all of them come from and may or may not have mob ties, probably grew up a Knicks fan.

Bruh we’ve been out-rebounded by almost 8 per game.  It’s a clear indication that their possessions are far less valuable than ours but I’d love to see that deficit flip today.    Some early fouls on Noel would help a lot but good luck on that one.

That's a direct result of Collins being limited with his foul trouble.  He's only averaging 5 rpg in those 3 games.  Also, the Knicks are sending 2 - 3 players to the offensive boards, to try to gain more possessions.   

The way to stop that is to 1), tell our guards to help out on defensive rebounding . . and 2) push the ball down their throats as soon as we get the rebound.  I saw them do this a few times, with Trae racing the ball into the frontcourt. 

I would love for the 2nd team to do this, in order to get better early offense looks.  Brandon Goodwin would be good at doing this.  The starters, right now, don't necessarily need it, because their offense has been so good.

I have a serious question - How the heck is Gallo able to stay in front Randle?

Randle has little to no wiggle. He has a decent first step but he's a straight line driver that overpowers defenders. He can't do that with Gallo. He's kind of like Hunter before this season when it comes to drives. 

[benhillboy]

I can’t remember the last time the Hawks were on a PrimeTime ABC game.  Looks good.

Jay and Jalen with some good points.  I didn’t know Nate was known as “Mac 10” as a player.  We got a new nickname.  Jay gave big props to Capela’s weak side play on Randle and how the Hawks are shading his left hand as his right is weak.

That’s a damn good analogy.

Hold up.  I missed parts of the Tyson special?!  I gotta binge it all.

Derick Rose been playing in the NBA for a good minute, seen everything.  Even he said our doubles are “weird.”

With the way he’s been struggling do the Braves even care that Ozuna might be suspended?  If he doesn’t get paid what happens to his salary?

Unfortunately, I think it is. Not on the Bally sports schedule.

Aight Jay Will.  He masterfully broke down how Trae hurts good transition defense and how Frank Nkilitina hurt his team on the game winning basket of Game 1. You never get this from the Bally/ Sport South telecast I’m sorry.  And gimme Doris over Nique any day.  I don’t want no smoke @TheNorthCydeRises lol.

The local broadcast broke that down before game two on Bally.  Were you watching espn?

Man the Omni looked 10 times better than State Farm (I’m so sick of that “ATLANTA” on the front facade). How is that possible?
