Official Game Thread: Hawks at Raptors

[terrell]

Winning on the road second game of a back to back convincingly is nice..

Against an opponent that usually gives the Hawks problems, is even better... lol

No one wants Bogi. He's being paid 10 million per too much. We gonna have to eat that 

Playoff BogBog? I want him.

Nate just has to know when Bogi is not hot shooting he needs to pull him in favour of AJ.

I think that he's tradeable.   Some teams have good enough defensive pieces that they can hide him on defense.   Some teams need a 3 pt bomber.  Some teams will look at next year being his last year and seeing a gravy train of cap space. 

One team that fit that bill is Toronto.

If Nate would just pull him when his shot is off he'd be fine to keep around...

He adds offensive value but since Murray came, it's obvious we can't play him and Trae together anymore. It's like a turnstile.

Playoff 2nd Unit

[Trae or DJ]

BogBog

AJ

JJ

OO

[NBASupes]

What ya'll think about JC for Duarte? Like it, not? To me its okay. Gives us a wing where we don't have to play Justin anymore. Once we move Capela, we gonna have just Favors and Frank the Tank to go with OO. Hopefully we get Robert Covington with the 1st from LAC for Capela

Duarte and picks right?

Is Covington the new starting PF? Or is it JJ? JJ is playing well lately..

I think Hunter might be the new starting 4 if they don't get Covington but yeah, if they get him. He would be the starter. If they can also get Mann from LA, that would be a massive boost to the bench. It would go from a weakness to a strength.

Awful. 

Favors and Frank 

Awful all around.

Just make an already small team, even smaller.

Trae and Bogi defensively metrics are falling off the cliff and washing out to sea.

Bogi's defense has been worst than Trae's lately too.

JJ and AJ have been playing well lately, but this team is not going to sucker me back into hopium for this season until I see a nice 5 - 8 game winning streak from them.

Edit: OO has been playing really well lately too.  Could just be matchups, but looks like he's turned a corner rebounding wise, which is big for his future if he wants to start at center.

Hunter has been on a good streak too with his rebounding.
