Damn Doncic and Thompson sitting out tonight.
Really just talking about the manner in which they won that game
Damn Doncic and Thompson sitting out tonight.
Hawks should have two more losses. BOS blowing it with no Trae playing really sucks and Kings too. Would be huge if Dallas can win tonight as thats 3 straight losses and ATL plays CLE 2x in a row.
Dallas holding up without Luka. Nnaji Marshall has been great for them lately and has 11 so far with a few minutes left to go in the half. hopefully kyrie goes off in the 4th to put them away
Entire league conspiring against the Spurs adding a lotto pick, tbqh
Are we rooting for the Hawks or Mavs to lose?
hawks 100%
Which one of the Morris brothers is on mav’s bench and why is he still there?
wow PJ with a of a block against Trae. kyrie walks in the for the layup to go up 10 with under 50 seconds to go
yay hawks down 10 with a minute to go!!
ya Mavs!!! 3 losses in a row and now CLE up on deck two games in a row. Keep it going
2-8 in ATL next 10 games would be GREAT….ATL beats CHA and NO and if SA can take care of business vs them? 2-8 or 3-7 seems like a possibility IF the favored teams all take care of business (CLE 2x, MIL, LAL, DEN, MEM, MIN)
Screw 2-8, I want 0-10.

And just like that, they go from out of the lottery to position #7.
was weird as a spurs fan cheering for the mavs to win tonight.
2-8 is probably good enough to mantain a top 8 seed in the East, tbh.
Top 8? They will probably have home court advantage in the first round.
What can ATL do since they can’t tank? Trade Trae Young and move on from him for a draft pick only makes them worse in the short term probably.
I'd trade him for what they can get, barring fan base revolt. They get the Lakers pick this year and Sacramento's this year or next, protected 1-12/1-10. They get the Spurs' pick next year and the following will still get the worse of Milwaukee or New Orleans.
They don't control their own picks in that range, but they're still getting first round picks. To me it's better to just move on from Trae and actually build a squad. Right now it's more like they're trying to fend off the picks SAS gets from being too good and what's the point much longer? Cut your losses and go forward. I'd even do a D'Angelo Russell package just to move on or see what Chicago wants.
That’s the hope; they get to the deadline and they are not in the playoff race firmly and Trae demands a trade…
The problem of Trae offensively in a league with more and more ball pressure and a need for 2 ball handlers is that he hasn't developed his off ball game much. He's still a great engine of offense when he has the ball, but I think his wizardry on ball has become less valuable with the added contact that was allowed mid way through last season. (Part of why I was, and am opposed to trading for him with a "return the Hawks picks" package).
Then, a team of B level do it all guys, who can all step into different roles, but if they're playing off of Trae, they can't shoot that well, and their on ball skills aren't as needed. I still think they'll finish at about the 10 seed / fringe of the playoffs as they have a lot of sort of competent players, but I'd love to be wrong.
The slight of build guards got nerfed. This is what Carlisle also said about Hali. I don't think we would see "superstar" Trae again.
At the beginning of the season, that was my hope, but this year they seem to play better without him. I hope they keep him the whole season.
