No Arne Duncan.

Kevin Hart AND Nick Cannon, really? Yikes. Only reason I would possibly watch the celebrity game is for Skylar Diggins. But more than likely I'll pass.

Heard that. Repped on the Skylar Diggins reference. Ms. Lady is

Russ playing like he's on trial and could get locked up any day now. All for it to go down in flames at season's end

I don't know why but this part has me because it's true.

Osh, I do think that when you say Atlanta's "rim protection is solid, but no great" we're basically talking about weaknesses here and when that's somebody commenting on your weaknesses then we should all take that as a sign of how good these Atlanta Hawks might actually be. The comments/numbers scattered everywhere suggest so, even if our prior experience makes it seem strange.

Well said

Yea, 7 games with the same squad tend to turn out differently for Hawks. This Hawks team hasn't done anything yet in my eyes.

Allan Houston gonna drop 50 in the celeb game

What does team play and passing have to do with shooting 3s?

So watching DMC play is boring to you?

this sounds really stupid. really really REALLY stupid.

Forget harden's footwork and talk about the blatant push off. Jimmy beats him to the spot both times and harden just shoves him. I hate that ****

i agree with u there man. i hate guard-arms and push offs. anybody can push a defender out of the way when a defender isnt even allowed to touch you really. superstar privilege man. i hate it in pick up games too. u start playing tight D and that guard arm comes out 9/10 times. dudes straight up stiff arming you to get past you

100%. It's why I can't understand when dudes on here argue against the charge call. How the hell are you supposed to play defense if your man is allowed to run thru you or push off even when you beat him to the spot. Completely defeats the purpose of staying in front of your man. Whenever dudes push off I instantly foul right back, I don't play that **** . You aint fooling these people into believing you just broke me down like that

I'm not sold on them in 7 over a few East teams either though. Cleveland would win a series of seven 5 out of 4 times against them.
Bulls over ATL in 7
Milwaukee over ATL in 7
Toronto swept.
Wizards might get swept by them.
Miami, lol. Miami is a joke.

Man, I don't know how I feel about Cleveland against Atlanta. Their defense is a HUGE concern. LBJ can't chase around Korver for 4 quarters - so that leaves JR Smith on him? Don't trust him to focus on Korver's movement at all. Then you have Kevin Love trying to help on ATL's action/cuts in the paint and guarding Millsap on the perimeter? And you have Horford pulling Mozgov/TT away from the rim with his jump shot. I think the Bulls have a better shot against the Hawks - even though the Cavs are better than Chicago.

Robert Pera going to be in the Celebrity game. Dude may even win MVP because he can actually play

Too lazy to verify, but I am almost positive during this win streak for the Cavs they are simply outscoring teams, not defending them all that well.

 

[mister friendly]

The Hawks don't have that clutch guy for the playoffs

Milsap?

Sounds a lot like the Heat last season.
