The Cavs will be coming off a B2B versus Milwaukee so there’s hope lol.  They’re a bad matchup right now though.  Really their only statistical weak spot is turnovers and I’m sure that’s improving with Sexton out (their defense has flourished in part due to his absence as well). Unfortunately the Hawks are now DEAD LAST in forcing turnovers.

Garland and Rubio will get anywhere they want on the floor with Trae/Huerter. guarding them.. And Theyll probalby put Okoro on Trae to force the ball out of his hands...Lobs will be broken up by the Fro.. Floaters will get blocked by Mobley.. Only way we win if we're on fire from 3 imo. Like really on fire.. lol.. Lobs  floaters and 3's.. Thats our offense...

I can only pray that Nate puts Cam in the starting lineup and lets Cooper and Johnson get Lou/Delon minutes for Cooper and TLC minutes for Johnson.

The ONE lone bright spot tonight.

 

 

For the Hawks to put up this kind of effort in his 1st game back after tragedy is a bad sign.....I thought Id at least see see some fight tonight... NOT..

That dunk by Okoro a couple nights ago was beyond epic.  3 dudes, 2 hands, 1 sick ass poster.  
 

Can he stick on Trae though?  I’ve barely watched him but the numbers are telling me he isn’t a ball denier.  He’ll likely get cooked off the dribble.

After the way I got ripped for saying last playoffs was a fluke seeing people come to grips with the Hawks not being that good really makes me feel like a prophet lol

I want you to keep that same energy when we're back in the playoffs.

Delon only plays 14 minutes per.  You’re too good for the cesspool that is Twitter, Jay.

It takes one to do the other.   No team jumps from not in the playoffs to winning it all.   I thought you knew basketball.   You sound like a newbie.

Memphis plays hard evey night. Win or lose..Even without Ja... Why cant we do that? So sad...

14 mostly ineffective minutes.  You expect a spark from your leading bench PG. If he's gonna suck on offense, he needs to be EXCEPTIONAL on defense. 

Forget what the stats you love to quote tell you....what is the most effective thing he does during a game that can give this team a lift when it really needs one.

He'll make him work hard though..

You think we're a top 6 seed? Or did you mean to say play-in?

Really doesn't matter.  We're better than we're playing and we're still a bit injured.   By the time the playoffs come around, we'll be there.

It matters which players are injured.  I'm glad to see OO back.. that will make a difference.
