The road trip begins

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Tank Tour 2023!

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Hawks with a new coach and plenty to play for. This doesn't look good for the Blazers.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

The Hyatt Regency (by the Convention Center) & the Blazers are hosting a watch party for this game. Doors open at 3:30, game is at 4:30. There will be food and drink specials and Terry Porter will be hosting a halftime show with trivia and prizes.
I might be there with HCP's wife.

Snyder gonna outcoach Chauncey by a mile in his 1st game

Nice!

It's not Quinn's first game as a coach so it doesn't mean anything. Teams always play better when the coach gets fired and the new one starts

Do better.

 

[Samuel]

he’s going to make one small adjustment at halftime and it’ll be good night.

 

[TBpup]

Stotts was terrible at that. I was hoping Chauncey would be better.

I've been gravely disappointed.

Will they be handing out floatation devices at the front door for this event?

Do better.

Interestingly enough, i think they went 2-0 under my guy Joe Prunty. Knowing coach, I bet the players really wanted HIM to be their next coach.

Atlanta Hawks

Big underdog tonight the loss streak continues

This to me depends on what they know? If the Blazers are in fact tanking and the odds makers know that, then this is probably right on. If not i would take that and bet on the Blazers to beat that spread.
This is why i don't like betting on games.

I just put the odds out for information. Basketball is probably the worse sport to bet on of all the major sports.

 

[KingSpeed]

Early game!

 

[LayneStaley]

We need Orl, OKC, and Mia to win tonight.


I’d like to get the NY pick in the teens at least. We could get within 2.5 games of the 5 spot in the draft.

 

[julius]

crap, both of my links are dead.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Might be good McMillan is gone; I think Reddish doesn't do as well when he tries too hard

 

[TBpup]

No one within 20' of Murray on a wide-open '3'. Not a good start defensively.

 

[TBpup]

Matisse just has great defensive instincts.

 

[LayneStaley]

Man we are bad.

 

[LayneStaley]

I’d rather have John Collins than Grant

 

[Strenuus]

I’d rather have Collins than Grant

I'll take the fact the hawks have wanted to get rid of Collins for years over a really bad take like this.

 

[LayneStaley]

Any chance Dame can when the scoring title?

 

[LayneStaley]

Yeah 0 rebounds from your starting PF is good. I forgot. Grant doesn’t do much if he isn’t making shots. Det wanted Grant gone if I remember correctly.

 

[TBpup]

Any chance Dame can when the scoring title?

That might be the goal. Get the scoring lead (it doesn't really translate to wins with this team) so he can get a scoring title while we get a better Draft pick. Win win!

 

[illmatic99]

0-6 road trip upcoming if this is the kinda defense we plan to play

 

[DDolla]

Dame sits now… it will be over soon

 

[LayneStaley]

How does Grant only get 4 rebounds in 36 mpg? Serious question.
