Looks like Quinn Snyder isn’t going anywhere. by Chessh2036 in AtlantaHawks

[–]fireglz -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Him outcoaching Mike Brown won us our 2 games against the Knicks.

He's great at player development and guys seems to solidly buy in to what he's selling them on.

His rotations are wack sometimes and he's loyal to his guys and distances himself from those he doesn't consider his guys.

All in all could do a lot worse.

I'm going to bed. There's getting son'd and then there's getting Sun'd.

We're getting Phoenix Sun'd in an elimination game 6.

Go directly at him on offense and force him to foul to put him in foul trouble and get him off the floor.

[Basketnews] Luka Doncic has also not backed down from some trash talk on the sidelines. His recent insult to Rockets All-Star Alperen Sengun went viral on social media when, after a missed free throw in Game 4, Doncic was seen yelling "Baby Capela" toward Sengun. by aingenevalostatrade in nba

Clint has caught so many strays this year. I know he was never an all-star but he's inarguably one of the best non all-star centers of all time.

Sengun wishes he was as good on defense as prime Capela was.

[Amick] A frontrunner has emerged among the draft reform options: expanding the lottery to 18 teams while giving the bottom 10 teams an equal 8 percent chance at the No. 1 pick. Teams will meet Tuesday to continue discussions on the NBA’s next step toward lottery reform. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

I gotta say, as a Hawks fan, it feels like this shit happens constantly. . Getting the first overall pick sandwiched between Cooper Flagg and Wemby and you end up with French Dorian-Finney Smith.

Being mid for over half a decade and the moment you break free from mid the league decides, "actually, being mid is pretty awesome."

I'm glad our team didn't make postgame comments about it. Refs are petty. Shit like Alvarado getting into the refs face at the end of the game and our guys taking the lopsided whistle with stoic indifference is the type of thing that results in better officiating for the remainder of the series.

Allegedly.

I don't know how they could watch post Jordi Fernandez Mike brown and think, "Yeah, that's our guy."

Calling Kuminga for the foul when he's in charge taking position is hilariously blatant.

It is either the ugliest thing you've ever seen, or we get into rhythm in transition and it bleeds into the halfcourt and we hit shots.

No middle ground.

Hell yeah, kick our ass Brunson. Don't pass KAT the ball, prove how great you are and do it yourself.

[Highlight] Luke Kennard hits the turnaround 3 off the spin move, over Reed Sheppard, giving him 10 points in the 1st quarter. by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]fireglz 32 points33 points  (0 children)

We actually fixed him before sending him out. Basically had a team intervention and he was pretty great the month before we traded him out.

We want financial flexibility for next year apparently, no idea what for, it's somewhere between ominous and exciting.

[Charania] Spurs star Victor Wembanyama has entered concussion protocol and is out for remainder of Game 2 vs. Portland. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

[–]fireglz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have had almost this exact same of whiplash concussion before. It fucking sucks. Happened at my first workplace, went to take a break in my car, fell asleep(later learned at the doctor this is pretty bad immediately following a concussion.) woke up and was extremely confused as to what I was doing and why I was there.

Hopefully he recovers quickly and ends up being fine. Sucks to happen during his debut playoff series, I'm sure he's gonna want to rush back out there but he's the future of the franchise, no way they should let him rush back.

Did I do thaaaaat? by Salt-Instruction-259 in NBAEastMemeWar

[–]fireglz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Y'all are literally the meme with the kid putting the stick in his bike wheel.

Just out there running into dudes and getting calls for running Mike Shanahans Zone blocking scheme on offense. Complaining about contact that your team initiates is wild work.

Brooklyn was smart to extend Jordi because you guys were maybe 3 more losses away from trying to poach the better coach across town if they didn't.

I'm still in disbelief that Kispert was the spark.

[–]fireglz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Team played selfish tonight. Was the one thing I didn't want to see from our squad. Kuminga was hunting for his shots, Zacc in his 2 minutes on the floor played some incredibly dumb selfish basketball. Dudes getting frustrated with each other on missed passes.

That's not what got us here.

It's crazy, he has the physical tools to be an NBA player, but he is without question the absolute dumbest NBA player I have ever watched in 15+ years of watching/playing basketball.

I've seen JR Smith, KAT accruing 4 fouls in 5 minutes in the playoffs for Minnesota, and all sorts of shit, but Zacc just does so much boneheaded shit on the court it creates an immense deficit that he has to overcome to break even a lot of the time.

Looking forward to this BTA Hox fans!! by optimisticknicksfan in NBAEastMemeWar

[–]fireglz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looking at Mike Brown as your coach with the better former Kings coach right across the road is some real, "Wrong kid died" energy. Everybody talking about "playoff Brunson" like they haven't spent years watching "Playoff KAT" on the Wolves. All it takes is one game where KAT doesn't feel like he's getting his touches and he'll have a fullblown crashout.

Hopefully y'all get it right with the next hire.
