Can't see the game, but looks at the box score LMAO DENNIS!!! What is he doing? Who told him that he's Allen Iverson now? 15 shots in 14 minutes . . . for 14 points?

They're anticipating about 9K a game, so they have to pinch those pennies.

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/21002422/zach-lowe-32-crazy-nba-predictions-2017-18 Atlanta tries to trade Dennis Schröder and Kent Bazemore They likely fail on both counts. Kent Bazemore is due $18 million in 2018-19 and $19.3 million the next season. That 2019-2020 money is the killer -- the reason the Lakers can't move Loul Deng, and the Bucks are stuck with John Henson. The Hawks will probably try. Moving a wing should be easier than moving a big man with the same contract; everyone needs 3-and-D types, but no one needs centers. You could build plausible deals sending Bazemore to Denver, the Clippers, and a few other teams. Atlanta might even settle for another distressed contract that expires a year earlier than Bazemore's -- if they can even find a taker at that price. We might be at least a year from any Dennis Schröder move. Most teams are satisfied with their point guard situations. But over the next year or so, some of those point guards will change teams, flame out, get injured, or enter free agency again. Travis Schlenk, Atlanta's new GM, didn't pick Schröder; Schlenk inherited him. Schröder has long been a polarizing locker-room presence, and his recent arrest on battery charges had executives around the league rolling their eyes. Schröder is just 24 -- young enough to be a key piece in Atlanta's long-term rebuild. If he rehabilitates his trade value, he could also net Atlanta more picks. He's good enough to do it. If and when the Suns flip Bledsoe, they will need a long-term answer at point guard. The Bulls are still searching, though they would not deal their 2018 pick for Schröder. What about their protected 2019 pick? The Pacers need to find a young point guard somewhere. The Knicks just drafted one, but if they think Frank Ntilikina can play some on the wing -- or that he might be years away -- Schröder would be an interesting talent play. (Let's hope New York is not dumb enough to send their 2018 pick unprotected for him.) Whether it's this season, this summer, next season or July 2019, the bet here is that Schröder finishes his contract someplace else. ********************* Any thoughts on this?

Starting Lineups Black PG - Delaney G - Baze F - Prince PF - Ilyasova PF - Collins White PG - Schröder G - Bembry F - Belinelli PF - Muscala C - Dedmon Safe to say that is our 10-man rotation, with the starters right now being Schröder - Baze - Prince - Ilyasova - Dedmon

Did any of you guys take a Hawk?

You guys keep saying that's nuts. If Embiid were a Hawk, would you want the Hawks paying that money for him? Let me give you a hint . . . and keep in mind, he did all of this in 15 minutes of play.

Has anyone picked up Jenkins yet? He literally hasn't tweeted since he "stood by his brother" Dennis.

He's looking real good in the preseason too.

This is the photo on hawks.com from media day. Is there a reason why the photographer would have these 5 take a pic together, and have no other 5 player group photos? Dedmon seems to be entrenched as the starting center, in place of Collins. And Bud probably prefers Illy at the 4. So what does this photo represent to you?

Box score says that Bembry is playing. Got an assist already. Make that 2 assists.

He's definitely the backup type of center we needed around here, when the team was good. What he brings to the table is far and away better than Moose, or Pero, or Tiago Splitter, or Elton bRand

LOL . . so somebody doesn't know how to scorekeep in Detroit. Dwight is 0 - 2 from 3 . . but 4 - 6 FG. Drummond is 3 - 4 from three though.

Hawks got it cranked up to start the 2nd half . . vs the Cavs 2nd unit.

Andre Drummond 4 - 5 from 3 . . . LOL . . Twilight Zone tonight in Detroit. Hawks with the decent close to the end of the half.

LOL . . and guess who is 3 - 4 from 3 right now . . . they're down 18 though.

Dedmon is the backup C we needed behind Dwight last season. When Bembry comes back, I want to see him at point forward, with Jenkins as the designated bench gunner.

But ya'll loved when Pero did it? For the record, I do agree. LOL . . he did make 1 though.

Thanks to Jenkins, we improved to 36% FG . . 24% 3FG

Hawks currently shooting 32% FG - 21% 3FG The Schlenk era begins !!

Bembry still needs to be the backup PG for this team. We need another guy who can break a defense down off the dribble, instead of looking for a long jumper.

Thank God for the Russians . . . at least for this.

LOL @ Dennis. 17 shots in 21 minutes . . . in a preseason game?

We hardly ever had Hawks in trouble in the Joe Johnson era. Nonetheless, I'm not passing any judgement on Dennis until I see the video. Hopefully this is more of a heckler messing with Dennis, so he tried to shut him up . . . than a Tupac, Suge Knight stomp out of a dude.

Definitely call BS on this. So the same team that voted Dwight "Teammate of the Year", were screaming in jubilation when he left? Now of course, I'm sure Dwight didn't get all of the votes. But he got more than anyone else on the team.

( Touching your head like Mr. Spock ) Remember . . . .
