Quiet here

Eastley

This is the Mark we need

Daquan having a game

How long have the refs had Emirates on their jersey?

cltblkhscoach

I'm glad Lee showed some fire at the end of the half with the refs

meloFan

Wait why did Melo and Josh come out?

cltblkhscoach

Probably messed up something on defense is my guess. But they gotta get it together offensively

Eastley

I like accountability

cltblkhscoach

WTF is Nick doing tonight

And I'd rather have Baugh out there than Garrett

tnhornetsfan

Trae Young is infuriating to watch play

Eastley

Garrett is an effort guy but i do love Baugh

Mark is playing with energy which is nice

cltblkhscoach

Man some of these dudes lol

meloFan

I don’t like Garrett or Moore

They are not NBA players

I don’t know how we can expect other players to “buy in” playing with gleague teammates

Eastley

I assume this is our FO keeping us in the bottom 3.

On the other hand, what a historic quarterfinals round between long-standing ACC rivals Cal and Stanford

Trae's hair guy/gal HAS to be telling him he's bald AF right?

Eastley, it ain’t easy to be ugly AND bold, let the man live lol

Eastley

Growing that shit out isn't fooling any.one

I miss the Sally Jesse glasses of Snyder

The bold move would be shaving the head there

damn, that was close

cltblkhscoach

I can't stand these guys that just foul hunt like Trae Young

Eastley

Trae and Harden are my two least favorite players in the NBA and I don't know anyone is even close to them.

Draymond

Eastley

Dray is different - he whines like crazy, but he doesn't do this stuff in the same way

He also kicks and grabs and acts like a twit but again, still different. What Trae and Harden do isn't basketball IMO

Chef

Yeah I get it. Draymond is the modern day bill lambieer

meloFan

Can we take Garrett out please? Also why not KJ

Eastley

As we've always had lunchpail guys, I don't like players who get away with the BS that they do

What happened to Baugh?

Where would we be w/out Diabate tonight?

Ah, Embiid, I loathe him too - forgot about him. Not sure how I could, he might irk me more than Harden or Trae in reality.

Chef

Except embiid put in a legit 70+ game last year. Embiid is a beast when he's right.

Eastley

But he's a flopping jackass that took out his own teammate.

Chef

There's that

Eastley

That's probably why it ticks me off more than the other guys. When his reactions threaten to take out other guys only for the goal of selling a non-foul in the first place, it seems so egregious

reactions* meaning his wild flailing after non-contact to try sell that he was assaulted.

He hurt one of our guys doing that one night a few years ago - cannot recall who it was.

If Trae does that, he's a 158 pound guy soaking wet. When Joel does it, he's a few donuts shy of 3 bills.

cltblkhscoach

We aren't meant to win this game

meloFan

Why cant we get any foul calls, but our opponents get whistles if we look at them too mean. What did we do to offend all the refs in the league?

Eastley

Garrett and Moore getting real minutes kinda guarantee that

Not watching, but it appears Miles continues to play inspired ball. Yes?

Eastley

yes

Mark showed up which is really nice. Melo has been mid - he just seems less than fully engaged (or maybe hurt) - there was a play in the first half he didn't bother to get over half court for a play that went full half-court. Moussa plays like a beast but he's splitting time w/ Jusef. Dequan is playing quite well. Josh completely disappeared for much of this game. And we - for some reason - keep passing way too optimistically for a game with Dyson Daniels on the court.

With KJ, TJ, and DB all assigned to the G-League, we appear to be prioritizing the post season there. Not that I blame them

Trae Young has the damn nerve to complain smh

1 damn foul

Keep that nasty ass barbeque Hawks. Harry (the Hawk) can come to the house for dinner though - guy is all class - but the rest of the Hawks crew can stay in Georgia.

did not watch this one. just checked the box score this morning. let me get this straight. Jeffries, in 32 minutes had zero rebounds, 1 assist, and 6 fouls. I’m happy to see the threes and 20 points. That’s fine.

But damn. I did not watch the game, but that reads as “Guy happens to hit some threes, doesn’t play defense, and when he does it’s bad defense. Oh and he aint passing it either”

5

His defense was pretty decent; he got a few deflections that led to steals if I am not mistaken (one Lamelo steal and one Mark or Josh).

I mean Assists being low is understandable, as Lamela was <30% FG, Josh was 20% FG, and Bench was 40%

6

Those fouls were Trey Young foul hunting BS half the time. Jeffries probably was the 2nd best player behind Miles last night.

To be honest, NBA has to do something about these foul merchants, it is getting pretty tiring.
Trey “Point from FT” Young had 21 FT attempts, and Hornets had 18…

Or, we should send Lamelo to Foul Merchants camp, to learn from Trey, Harden, and SGA

8

It was good to see the core 4 of Miles, Melo, Mark, and… MDaquan have a good outing.

I thought they had remedied the foul merchant thing a couple years ago, where Trae wasn’t making it to the line as much.

But now that FanDuel and DraftKings are official sponsor of the league, what better way for the refs to hit their parlays then getting people to the line? It’s what Lord Donaghy would want.
