Tonight, Bertans makes his debut!
We lost last game, as we probably should have, and in normal circumstances this would be a game we would expect to win. However, we're missing a lot of pieces from our lineup, and although Bertans is hopefully going to be a flamethrower for us, there's no guarantee as to how quickly he will fit into things. This could be a win, due to Atlanta's powerful tank, but it could also be a loss, which would be helpful for us.
The guys to watch for ATL are Trae Young and John Collins. Collins is one of the most exciting young bigs in the league right now, and I think he has an exceptionally bright future. I could see a couple of all-star appearances and all-NBA awards falling into his resume, especially if he stays in the East.
Young, on the other hand, I'm not quite so hot on: a lot of people have compared him to Steph Curry, and I see that to a limited extent, but I think that some of that evaluation is simply based on extrapolating out hopes. Hopefully, though, he lights it up tonight!
Let's go and see the youth in action! #DoItBig!

Glad to see Frank's confidence up in that shot, so smooth

Talk about an empty arena. Wow, maybe not 5,000 people there.

This looks like a game between friends at the gym or something. Just zero game-planning and execution, they're just running up and down, kjinda taking pot-shots. Not aesthetic at all, and Atlanta suck hard.

03-10-2019, 05:20 PM13 - 3Move them to Seattle. Wait OKC might need a 2nd team. LOL.Quote:

Every time a basketball team plays a Drake song, I hate them just slightly more.

End of the first, we are up 33-26. The reason for that? Shot 7 of 10 from deep, including Clark and Jackson making multiple splashes.
-
03-10-2019, 05:40 PMPelicanidae
After shooting a horrendous 28% from deep through February, Jackson has shot 47.4% from three in the last 5 games. He's up to 2 of 3 tonight.

Has Bertans done anything yet?

Hill fouls Carter to give ATL the 4 point play.
NEXT POSSESSION, Carter fouls Miller to give us the 4 point play. -
03-10-2019, 05:42 PMPelicanidaeThey haven't played him yet.Quote:

John Collins is what Cheick Diallo would look like with finesse.

Christ. I hate that we gotta trade AD's ability away. Just trade his body. his talent can transfer into Diallo.
-
03-10-2019, 06:06 PMPelicanidaeIt's a shame. He really does have all of the ability in the world. AD has all the skills to be the greatest power forward of all time.Quote:

For some reason bembry looks just like Ingram to me with that hair.

Randle with 17pts in 3rd.

Don’t like Randle. Fine you get Hill

Let's just shut Jrue down. And AD. Play nothing but young guys and Bertans. Let' them rock it.
-
03-10-2019, 07:18 PMPelicanidaeJrue's already shut down, by my estimation. I don't see him coming back this season.Quote:

Good game for Frank and the tank.
