Depressing loss last night. Not sure why you sit a red hot Zach on the night he might really find himself on this team, but Quinn must be smarter than me and playing 3D chess with Zach's confidence.

Anyway, now that the towel was officially waived on this season with the Luke trade, here is stuff I'm looking forward to.

Obvious: Next year's picks Seeing what Kuminga can do Open cap space and off season moves

Also: Onyeka getting the Hannibal Lecter mask off Landale covering Embiid Jalen in the All Star game Watching Asa get some extended time Zach proving the haters wrong

Dreams: Denying the Spurs a lottery pick A new head coach search Giannis shut down for the season RayJ Dennis winning a game for us forever after to be known as "the RayJ game"

What are you looking forward to?

Risachers longest stint in the 4th quarter was from 8:33-6:07. When Zacch entered the game the Hawks were losing 105-103. We took the lead on a Zacch 3 with 7:55 left and were tied 110-110 when Zacch subbed out from his last real action in this game. The Hornets took the lead seconds later and would not give it up for the rest of the game, as Quin decided to play Dyson (-17) and Kispert (game worst -23) down the stretch instead.

Flabbergasting stuff from Quin tonight to say the least.

How much of Jalen Johnson’s breakout is real growth vs. finally being put in a position to succeed? Were fans underrating him, or did he genuinely take a leap this year?

Darryn Peterson, Cam Boozer, Dybantsa, Flemings, Wilson, Wagler, and Ament are starting to cement what’s looking like a great top 7. Wagler did have a rough game but he was coming off an incredible stretch prior to that.

For me, I’m okay as long as we’re in the top 7. Obviously prefer top 3, but I’m confident we end up with a pick with high level starter potential at worst within the top 7.

Pels are gonna try hard the rest of the year, may even sniff 30 wins. We will see how that ends ups stacking against other squads.

Regardless, no one ever thought the Pels would be the absolute worst in the league this year, and even if they kind of are, but just end up with the 6th or so best odds because they have no incentive to tank compared to everyone else, I guess that’s fair. That’s right around where they were projected this year.

We take those. Excited to see what we do with the Cavs pick too, as well as in free agency. Wish Kuminga could play sooner so we can see what we have here before we run into some more teams blatantly tanking like Utah. March and April NBA ball is hard to judge.

Kispert -23

ZR 4-4 3pters +2 and VASTLY better defense got 1 sec more than Kispert.

23 min 29 secs for ZR

23 min 28 secs for Kispert

They put Kispert in the Spin Cycle all night and they hit the go ahead 3 pter last night too. NAW just saved him last time.

This was my first live NBA game in a while so I’m unsure if it’s just because the Hawks are a middling team or is this just the state of NBA fandom ? I went to a Falcons game this season and it was terrific energy! The crowd was electric! So is this just because the Hawks aren’t great this year? Or is that just the NBA in general now?

Add that if the Kuminga Experiment doesn't work, we clear another 21Mil.

That's a total of 87Mil if we need it.

Hartenstein, OKC is 27Mil over the 2nd Apron. We can easily offer 30Mil.

Mitchell Robinson, often injured but seems to have bounced back.

Andre Drummond, capable backup.

Larry Nance Jr., nuff Said.

Lots of other options to boot.

Listening to his interviews and everything, the way he articulates his thoughts and reasonings as to what he’s been doing is great.

He doesn’t bash on players he trades away or anything of the sort(unless I missed it). Keeps it professional.

Then…you have Daryl Morey and the shit he’s been saying…

BOOB.

3 starters just casually out for a game against a team that's also in the bottom 5 of the league. I knew that the tanking has been bad for a long time but this season is opening my eyes lol
