They absorbed their run. Now run this back up to +15.

Don't start playing soft Collins.

Three straight plays with Herro attacking Trae.

To me, that's perfectly OK, as long as no one else is scoring or making 3s.

 

They won't stay with that all game.  But the big thing is that we have to score on the other end.

Do NOT give Trae help.  Let Herro score in the midrange if he wants.  Only help if Trae gets beat off the dribble.

Need to attack Herro on the other end though. He has three fouls.

Heat will make a run.  We have to counter it.  

Just keep them at arm's length.

The TNT halftime show is going to be interesting. Almost makes me not want to mute it like I normally do just to watch them eat crow. Almost.

At least not the rushed ones he is taking. 

He's rushing even though he's wide open. Hopefully, that was what Murray was talking to him about.

Lowry hurt himself flopping. Good.

Hunter playing big down low.

Shoot them out of the gym Bogi.

Early Mitten sighting.

Who gets the obligatory 2 quick fouls in the first quarter and is forced to sit? 

Hunter, Collins or Capela?

Yes.

Keep balling Jalen

A s much as I want to see him continue to dominate, I hope Quin sits him for the 4th quarter.

Matthews is a legit knockdown shooter. 

Bruno with the euro! I see you.

I was trying to get tickets for the last home game....Glad I didn't- can't trust this team nit to play down, and at home no less.

That would've been $$$ flushed down the toilet. There are no gimme games with this team.

We already clinched bro. We just need to lock in the best possible draft position

I can somewhat agree with that, but this was a bad loss. Optics wise I would've preferred if Quinn pulled the starters after the Raptors loss than to watch the starters choke against the 76ers' backups. This was a terrible loss on a Friday night in front of the home crowd.

I feel like these guys are coming together. I know the competition isn't top tier, but I like how connected they look.

I take all of this back.

The Hawks deserve this loss. Just terrible.

Crunch time execution leaves a lot to be desired. They just fall apart.

With the Raptors on their way to a large margin loss, the Hawks winning or losing this game no longer matters.  
Heat just lost and Nets are about to win.
So, we'll be the 8th seed playing the Heat. 
 

Would still like to win these last 2 games. Losing to 76ers backups and whatever G league team the Celtics will trot out on Sunday would be a bad look. Go into the Play In with some momentum. 

A little Mitten action leading to a highlight reel lob and dunk. I like it.

No his brain is just better. Smoove had all the talent with the brain of an idiot. 

JJ is Smoove with less audacity and slightly less bounce.
