Obviously impacted by era but yeah, Wemby is 1 of 1

 

[Felipe Saidel]

Lindy getting some extended burn tonight

I believe is due to Fox 3rd fault.

Drives me insane that the only way you can get calls is embellishing because the refs don't have functioning eyes

Every 2nd possesion has illegal screen, at this point games wouldnt have any flow if they start callng those correctly.

Oh believe me, I've watched that video at least three times in the last few days. Posted it in my referee question thread

players/teams would adjust quickly out of necessity

Wemby operating like this at the elbows, mid post, high post, even some low post, is so good. Close enough to the rim where he only needs 1 dribble to either get to the rim or a jumper.

Enough with the iso dribbling bullshit. Give him 1 or 2 per game to keep him happy and that’s it.

Can't complain about the energy on the 3rd game in 4 nights. Gotta punch these chumps in the throat and let CB set a new career high in the 4th.

 

[CGD]

Hawks have no identity, like they have two types of players and just run random lineups without structure

Such as good characterization. What do they want to be?
I kinda think they need Giannis TBH

 

[Paramore]

Perhaps Wemby should start the second half

get him more touches....then do the experimentation thing and empty the bench wisely

I call it the "False Guard Hypothesis" of Wemby in his wetdreams, lol

 

[BatManu20]

I'm on Wemby Block watch. Just need one from him to keep the streak alive tbh. But ATL aren't even giving him opportunities when he's in the game.

Every team needs Giannis (except OKC)

 

[Paramore]

Guys, on another note, lol

[100%Duncan]

Have we finally reached the point where we don't have to worry about beating scrub teams?

Hold your horses

 

[Trainwreck2100]

How did these hawks win 15 games?

eastern conference

 

[frenchfred]

Hopefully Atlanta can slip in the standings more.

Looking at the standings right now, I think that it is going to be hard to miss the playin for them. Maybe Milwaukee can fix their own problems and catch them but they are already 5 games behind (maybe 4 after this one)

 

[Mal]

Such as good characterization. What do they want to be?

They should be rebuilding, but some hot shooting won them couple games and they are over their heads right now.

They need to figure it out which of Risacher, JJ, DD, Okongwu are their franchise, because they are more or less same type of player and running 5 of those is bad basketball.

 

[Paramore]

Carter Bryant, Waters, Harper minutes please

 

[Paramore]

by gawd, that assist by Harper was incredible, hope they have a replay
