To me it seemed like he is on the record saying coaches don't matter in terms of whether someone like Jokic would be what he is, not that coaches don't matter in general. But then again, I'm not that good with precicness of language, detail, and nuance.

Bogdan's contract overlaps 1 year for 18M with any new contract for Hunter/Redish. It still remains to be seen how much Redish can command. Hunter looks much more solid and he will get paid. I'm not sure if Redish will be consistent enough to demand a large contract though. But if he can put...

Very sad day indeed. Rest in peace VF21.

It did not, but it was a blessing in disguise it seems (not the injury but the run the Hawks made after the injury to make it a blowout). they were embarrassed which meant they were going to come out with pride. Hawks maybe had that same feeling (that it was not looking good for the Bucks) so...

the were down 10 points in the middle of the 3rd when Giannis went down. they were already losing.

he has a bone bruise, that cannot be fun. seems like Giannis getting injured was bad for the Hawks. They seem to defend the Giannis based offense better.

an injury?

I would agree there. He is a key cog for them. Especially given how small they are. They got pounded in the paint last night, but without Capela and his defense and rebounding it would be even worse. Bucks are much bigger. If Hawks pass the Bucks I think they will matchup with the Suns better

@sactowndog is one body. But ok, I can see how that can be debated [ don't respond with that it "cannot be debated", italics part of the quote :) ] Curious who do you think the second best player on the Hawks is? Yes, a lot of people will say Collins, but Hawks have many good players each...

Hawks played 2 games without Young against Bucks and are 1-1. They are also missing their second best player. So not sure if its decided that Bucks are deeper. Bogdan had 4 assists and it seems to me he played within the offense. At least not any less than anyone else on the Hawks.

There probably is no way to make the money work, but I wonder if the Nuggets would give MPJ for Buddy and Barnes. I think Buddy and Barnes could help them win now. MPJ does not seem to fit there with Murray and Jokic even though it seems like he should. chemistry probably. maybe Aaron Gordon...

They called 9 fouls on the Bucks in the first half and 13 on the Hawks. You say they are "clearly calling every little touch foul they can on the Bucks". That to me sounds like at least 5 of their 9 fouls were little touch fouls. They only committed 4 real fouls in the first half. The...

Hawks in trouble. Two best players out. Hunter was a huge loss for the Hawks but Trae might be unrecoverable from.

Sure, they are playing much better defense which is contributing to this, but Knicks/Philly played some great D but they did not produce 8 TOs out of Young in a half. Atlanta could still do better even with this defense.

Trae is having a rough one. 0-5 for three, 7 TO and 2 AST. But in general too many turnovers for Hawks.

yeah he is dragging a knee injury. same knee he had the avulsion fracture on during the season. seems like this knee will be a problem in the future.

They are playing him injured so if he injures himself further there could be even more fulfillment for you. Maybe the knee will give out completely, that would probably be the most fulfilling.

yes, this is definitely true as well.

true. the Hawks are a better team than Dallas though. As ESP47 said somewhere they are built well ( I think he said built better than the Kings but the point stands), But there is a certain unstoppable-ness to him which accrues to the team.
