Official Game Thread: Spurs at Hawks

[TheNorthCydeRises]

@NBASupes - Once again, you have a situation in which the starting 5 was overall good in the 1st half, but the bench was terrible.

If that same starting unit cannot get it done in the close of games in the 4th quarter, it's up to the coach to tweak the lineup so that a good closing lineup can be put on the floor.  Just because they're starters, doesn't mean they should automatically close the game.

So you dont think he would be gone if he was on a friendlier deal? Ok agree to disagree..

I think plenty of worse deals get moved.  Allegedly he was moved 3 days ago, then Durant happened.

Just because teams won't meet our demand doesn't mean his deal is immovable or "bad".  Jmho. 

[terrell]

We need Bey scoring off the bench..

[JayBirdHawk]

The bench and Murray were brutal the first 4 minutes of the 2nd quarter.

 

We had 10 points the first 6 minutes of the 2nd quarter.

19 points the latter 6 minutes.

[JayBirdHawk]

8 points from the bench is not gonna cut it.

[terrell]

Trae 12 points and 10 assists on 8 shots ------ 17:06 minutes

 

 Murray 4 points on 1 assist on 10 shots ------------ 18:25 minutes

 

Can someone tell me why Nate insists on playing Murray so many min every night? Even more than Trae?

 

[NBASupes]

Hawks need to watch out for Washington. Their bench has been elite since the Kendrick Nunn trade.

Because he loves Murray like I love Murray but sometimes he just don't got it going and the offense is always rough when he runs it although the ball moves a lot more.

Winning every game so far in my parlay, except the Hawks.

Let's get that 15+ blowout guys.

Or does he hate Trae? Weird not playing your star player the most min... Especially when Murray playing like shit.

If the choice was between Dejounte and Keldon, it looks like Keldon is winning the argument . . at least for tonight.

There you go Murray.

[kg01]

Wow.  Terrible call and late to boot.

I swear, Dre’, if you end this game with 19 points….

19 points....

[kg01]

Yall can have Siochan(sp?).  Just give me fat Diaw instead. 

[JayBirdHawk]

Collins with the Hawkward shot that falls,  

[TheNorthCydeRises]

I don't know what's more impressive.  That Dre is shooting 7 - 12 FG . . . or that he's taken 9 FTs already in this game.

He's going hard to the basket at times and getting the calls.  And he's taking very good shots in rhythm.

[MaceCase]

Adrenaline might have worn off and fatigue settling in for the Spurs, they are making almost comical mistakes now.

[terrell]

I want to see Dre with 30+ tonight

Looks like NorthCyde is paying for dinner tonight!
