Truth be told, this is something the Nix should be worried about. Their advantage is they play with max effort. But that begs the question, when you need to raise your level for the playoffs, what's higher than max effort? On another note, SAS should've gone the Hawks route and exhausted capspace last offseason. They've got a lotta cap but there's not a lotta places to put it to improve their team. Ah well, I don't care that much about them. They deserve to flounder for a while. Jussayin'. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James clearly never had control. I don't see how you can hold that against him even if things go smoothly no one makes the guy re-inbound the ball when he pushes it immediately to a teammate (different in my mind because hitting it to a teammate demonstrates control in a way that didn't.) I'd hate to see a game ever decided based on that kind of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post marco102 Posted May 20, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Hawks' viewership on the rise. Quote Improvement on the court led to improvement in the local TV ratings for the Hawks this season. The average rating for Hawks regular-season telecasts on Bally Sports Southeast (formerly Fox Sports Southeast) was up 11% from the 2019-20 season, up 63% from the 2018-19 season and the highest since the pre-rebuild 2016-17 season. The 71 Hawks games shown on BSSE this season averaged a 0.98 rating in the Atlanta TV market, translating to an audience of roughly 26,000 homes per game. That’s up from a 0.6 rating two seasons ago and a 0.88 rating last season, bucking a league-wide trend. “In a season when two-thirds of NBA teams experienced ratings that were flat or down from last season, we are very pleased with the significant ratings growth the Hawks delivered this season,” said Jeff Genthner, senior vice president and general manager of Bally Sports South and Southeast. “Interest in the Hawks’ run for the playoffs surged during the last month of the season when ratings were up roughly 30% over the then year-to-date average.” The eight Hawks telecasts in May averaged a 1.22 rating in the Atlanta market. The rating represents the number of homes, out of every 100 in the market, tuned in to a telecast. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is "the market" considered the number of homes who have access to the game or just the number of homes? Because i have to think that coming off most the of streaming services would drive the total number of viewers down. Still good news and not surprising. this team is legit.

It's not so much that call, but the obvious flops from Wesley Mathews to get not one, but TWO illegal screen calls in the last few minutes of the game. And there is a history of bad calls given to GS by these officials. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kg01 Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 I care about this issue, in general, because I think it happens to us. But I can't bring myself to care about the Warriors getting jobb'd. Figure out which refs screw us and I'll join in your outrage, bleachk. On the other side, I think Scott Foster helped us in the last game he officiated for us. I think it was PHX since he hates Chris Paul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is a history of bad calls given to GS by these officials. I think the inbounding discussion makes these legit complaints seem weaker. I've seen a disproportionate amount of press on that, usually complaining about how lax officials are with the inbounding rules and inferring that their stepping in here was a nefarious tilt towards the Lakers. To me that was the right way to handle it. Just focus on the flops, screens and legit issues. Definitely wasn't at the Sacramento / LA level but it is amazing how Boston, LA, etc. get these gifts so consistently over the years. As if they need more advantages. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benhillboy Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Taylor is an outstanding coach. Their GM doesn’t get any publicity but he also has a quirky yet sharp eye for talent and fits and clearly places a premium on physicality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
