I am not enjoying the Vince Carter farewell tour

They need help on the gjass. I saw the leading scorers on NBA tv, and John has 3 rebounds everyone else 0.

Drummond looking pretty good right about now. Jokic just set a career high for points in a quarter and finished with 27.

Why does he get minutes? It boggles the mind.

I don't care much if Joker (minus-6) goes for 60, just keep his assist options down. Stop the Birthday Boy, Save the World!

That left corner layup line is looking mighty nice so far. Keep sending shooters there!

Collins seems a touch sluggish, hopefully just getting readjusted after the back injury. We'll need some defensive stops from Bruno in the second half to sneak back in this baby.

And if Trae can cut down on the sloppy dribbling and make sharper passes that'd be cool. Easy for me to say without 3 Nuggets draped all over me.

Go Hawks!

Bruno needs to study tapes of Amare Stoudemire. 

Or they just need to throw the ball to him in the post, and see if he can get 2 points that way.   It's like we're allergic to have a big post up.  Most of them are going to make the shot 50% of the time.

Good grief.

Nah we dont need a center, nah we good. There is some G League player coming to save us.

Trae with 13 on 6 shots and 0 FTs. Highly efficient which is great but I would like to see him get his attempts up to 10-12 in a half and getting to the line.

farewell tours should go out the window the moment you don't score 10 ppg anymore

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Can't miss those bunnies Bruno.  They won't pass it to you anymore if you keep blowing them.

[benhillboy]

Off topic but Dennis putting on muscle, back to defending.  Love his maturation.

And here comes our favorite PF.   Go get em Vince.

Bruno may not play for the rest of the night.

[NBASupes]

Bruno....

[hawkman]

Hawks looking disinterested to start the 3rd. I'm not liking the energy. 

[Cwell]

Bruno has missed some bunnies but the attempts look really good. He may have some potential as a scorer in the future

[hawkman]

Offensive!!!!!

They better win this challenge.

[NBASupes]

Hawks had to challenge that

He has legit post moves.  His issue is that he's not going up strong every time.  That finesse stuff don't work around the rim in the NBA.

With Collins about to foul out, they may need him toward the end of this game.

[Marvin24Williams]

Jokic gets away with so much offensive fouls. He's elbowing people to create separation on every post up

Some glimpses of good play tonight.
