I think sometimes a change of scenery and coaching is what is needed to bump a player. To me it seemed he generally did not click when put in the game but glad to see he is having success in a different environment.

When you aren't a good team, you should be playing your young guys to see what they can do.

Instead, this team seems eager to play veterans who aren't good enough to matter and calling it a day.

in the last 4 games, Grant (turns 33 next season), Holiday (36 next season), & Timelord (unrestricted free agent) have combined to average 56 points, 17 rebounds, 11 assists. Blazers averaged 116 points over those 4 games. So those 3 vets combined for 48% of Portland's points. Kind of looks like Cronin sold his soul for "winning time now" and the team is totally focused on making the play-in no matter what

He has no idea who you are. That's the "thumbs up & smile" he gives to all the fans bugging him.

Looks more like the picture he takes when he wonders why old landscaper is there.

You must not do a very good job mowing lawns. Clients take you to court often enough that you have a special suit for it.

Or maybe it’s the blurry pictures you occasionally post.

CJ McCollum leading scorer today (30 points, 10-18, 7-10 on threes) in Atlanta's 9th win in a row, 122-99, over the Milwaukee Bucks.

The 9-game win streak is the longest for the Hawks in over a decade (since the 2014-15 season).

Way to go CJ! Glad you were able to get out of that train wreck in DC in less than a season, into a much better situation.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

After a bit of a rough start, CJ's really settled in with the Hawks and they're on a roll. Good for him for landing on a good team after the purgatory of New Orleans.



Sidenote: Atlanta's FO has definitely had the best year of any FO. What with fleecing NO for their possible #1 pick and picking up Alexander-Walker and the resurgent Kuminga for peanuts, along with Johnson become a statistical monster, they're looking great. Shame they have no fans, really.
