    loool

    Hawks are trying to throw this game in SA and they just recently went on a 22-6 run with a hodgepodge bench.

    Edit: They're most likely going to succeed, but it took a RIDICULOUS lineup to do so.

    That was way too close, Dallas actually has a great shot at falling to seventh, currently tied with Memphis

    I wouldn’t mind honestly. I’ll take the 7 pick for a higher shot at actually keeping Dallas’ pick

    ''load management'', and I considered myself worldly. Seriously, I don't know what that means.

  • donmdonm Posts: 10,241 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    I think, generally, it refers to how much and how intense the "work" is that a player does. In hoops I'm thinking it's a way to say how many minutes a guy plays and not as much how intense the work was. those little GPS thingies that CKS uses in practice can give a # that addresses workload management. My guess, of course.

    Ok, load management makes sense after some sleep. That is exactly what is needed ..😉.

    Losing last night got us close to keeping the 5 spot going into the lottery. one more loss and a win by Dallas locks it up.

    We won again today. I still think we don’t lose the pick but something to continue keeeping an eye on

    They will beat the Bucks again when they play

    The Hawks have lost with abandon for years, and now with a real shot at 2 high picks they can’t even keep from winning when it hurts them.

    Bank, it's plum krazy.

  • WCDawgWCDawg Posts: 17,293 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    Iwant. we have 3 more losses than Dallas with 4 games to play for both teams. 1 loss by us combined with 1 win for Dallas would secure the 5th worst record.

    I think somebody forgot to tell Pierce he has a job next season. Either that or the guy has rocks for brains.

    They'll lose vs Orlando again for sure to probably lock up 5th (I believe) and at least lock up being ahead of Dallas in tanking. Even if Collins plays, he struggles a LOT vs long bois right now, so Isaac would very likely own him again. Honestly in hindsight for positioning yourself for the lottery though, we're going to look back at this season and see a couple weird quirks that saved the team from themselves and Orlando is included. One was the Knicks, who are the worst team in the NBA I think, ABSOLUTELY OWNING this team (1-3 and it would've been 0-4 vs them if it weren't for Jeremy Lin having one of his Linsanity stretches) and two is while Orlando is mediocre, they have players that give the Hawks major problems, thus they're going to sweep the series. (I'm calling it now, I'm not scared)

    If it's at Orlando, they might play some games with players playing and PT again though.

    GeorgiaGirl, you are correct, Collins struggles against big physical low post players. Right now it's more Trae who is driving the fortunes of the team though. We have some pretty solid options when Collins is on the bench, we don't have anybody who can come close to what Young does.

    So, limit Trae's minutes to 10 to 15 or set him out the entire game, same with Collins. It doesn't need to be complicated.

    i went to the game last night. Hawks need a center, embiid wasn’t playing and boban barely played and they were still getting shredded on the boards. Alex Len shouldn’t be a starter in the nba
