I think I'd be ok with going ahead and waiving LW4...go ahead and give him the opportunity to try and catch on somewhere else..

Dammit. Nuggets collapse late, Celtics get the win. Need them to start losing games.

[BackHome]

This sucks and Indiana lost to

white 15/6/2 not helping sa's cause

[r0drig0lac]

still think Murray's scoring will go up

he'll have even more ball in his hands, if Vassell can play like he does today and Keldon keeps shooting well, Dejounte could be the assist leader in the league by the end of the season, really impressive.

[Biggems]

Murray, Johnson, and Vassell with a great 3-headed monster game. To be honest the one guy who looked like complete ass was Collins. He forced shots when he had open teammates, looked like an infant giraffe all awkward and fumbling over himself. I just saw a giant pile of suck in a Spurs uniform from him.

Not taking anything away from Spurs, but WTF happened to the ATL team this year?

Last year gone to their heads? Dysfunction? all star break coming? too much of the lovely ladies of the ATL?

They should be better.

they fell off a cliff defensively and are trying to hide Trae Young on D as much as possible, cause he‘s a Bryn Forbes level defender. Doesn‘t help that John Collins played with a heel injury today

it is scary he's just scratching the surface

[emanueldavidginobili]

I really expect Vassell to step up to the challenge. I will be disappointed if he doesn't, and I expect the same old Lonnie. My expectations for Devin are way above Lonnie nowadays even with Devin struggling as of late.

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs will be even better when J-Rich takes all of Walker‘s minutes

[slick'81]

Vassell is essentially white with a jump shot

[lefty20]

I'd be surprised if we did that. J-Rich is more likely to take Primo's minutes. Pop will give LW every chance possible to show if he deserves an extension.

[Leetonidas]

Anyone else find it kinda cringe how Dejounte refers to himself in the third person a lot in interviews

[mystargtr34]

Yeah Atlanta actually has the second best offensive rating in the L only behind Utah. The problem is they are horrible on D, one of the worst defensive ratings in the entire L.

The advanced stats and lineups show some interesting things. For example the Cappella-Collins-Huerter-Bogdanovic-Young lineup plays the second most minutes and the advanced stats are amazing. 128.5 on offences and 96.3 on D for a net rating of 32.3. The problem is it hasn't played much together until recently. That's the best in the entire NBA for 5-man lineups that have played more than 100 minutes.

you should look at the minutes in this game. Primo played 28 min while Walker played 13. Primo was our best bench player tonight

Oh , you right.

That's a bad look for Lonnie, ngl.

[XDT76]

Spurs doing their best to get that Raptors pick

[Dverde]

Bonnie Walker IV is done in SA…he played like a guy just going through the motions. He knows the Spurs are done with him and the Celts are coming to take his minutes.

[Mr. Body]

I'd say Primo is a permanent part of the rotation now.

[XDT76]

Oh , you right.

Not sure what happen, but LW4 has been on a slum for the past few games don't think he will get any minutes if he keeps this up.

[NASpurs]

Looks weird seeing White in a Celtics jersey but I'm rooting for him. Nice game today from him.

[Spurs Homer]

Spurs offense looked decent when you subtract white’s 15-18 bricks …

and let those missed shots go to other players like vassell, murray, keldon….

[Mr. Body]

It's cool to trash a team and all, but Spurs need to start losing games.

[John B]

Let us bask on this one then we can get back to tanking

Well we gotta ensure that the Hawks don't end up better than the Raps.
