Nate . . . get Bruno in the game.   Solo has had enough minutes.

Miss Celie say . . . . "Nate, you gon' need Bruno one day."

I want to believe, but I'm not getting my hopes up. The Knicks are legit. It will be interesting to see what Nate does to slow down Randle.

Bruno with the crisp handoff

Bruno with the perimeter D

C'mon do something Bruno.

Big game tomorrow.  Gotta love Randle and Barrett logging 40 minutes tonite.  I mean it can't not help can it?

Those handoffs used to lead to assists, when he was in the main rotation.

Maybe Lou Williams will keep us in the game tomorrow.  Trae is not in rhythm lately.  
 

Imagine if we drafted Bamba instead of Trae...  

If we had taken Luka, Mavs were set to take Bamba.

Before the season, the one thing I wasn't sure about was the chemistry between JC and Capela. It's been sensational. 

Alot of people had that as a main concern and i never really understood it much as their games are quite a bit different.  Collins is a very athletic guy with a great shot and top tier range for a big.  So he can do alot of his damage from the outside and then come inside when need be.  Where as Capela is pretty much all inside work and hustle and board dominating.  Both can ofcourse do pnr to a elite level but outside of that their games are quite different to me and don't overlap much.   If anything it was a bonus that they both do the pnr so well that you can at times never not have a guy on the court that can do it if you stagger them some.

Ugly 3rd, but got it together in the 4th.

Let's go streak busting tomorrow night.

Nice solid win!  Tomorrow will be tough.  Nate rested his front court more than his backcourt for a reason.  They need to be all over Randle.  Trae will need to value every possession and have a low turnover game. We'll need Bogi, Kevin, and Lue to be hot to win this one tomorrow.  The Knicks bring their defense every night. If the Hawks, are hot, they will have a great chance of winning. If they slow down Randle, they'll have a great chance of winning.

Not our best ball, but we got the W.

It was a workman like win.  The game was never in doubt.  That third quarter was ugly though. 

I'm glad they are starting to beat the teams they should beat.

I think we'll see Solo matched up some on Randle. He did a pretty good job on Giannis when JC was out.

[NBASupes]

Defense will be huge tomorrow but shooting will be even more valuable 

[terrell]

If we can win tomorrow, I think the 3 seed might be in reach........

[JayBirdHawk]

From just pass halfcourt with a lead pass.
