Game #39: Atlanta Hawks 110 - Toronto Raptors 89

[GLF]

At this point winning against sub 500 teams means nothing to me because that isn't doing anything for us come playoff time. We still can't beat good teams and we are always getting exposed by them. *Sigh* I just knew it was too good to be true. This is why I I'm always worried with this team or pessimistic. They always end up coming back down to earth.

Key numbers since Christmas:

3 point shooting:
GV: 41.7
Lowry: 35.3
Pat: 32.4
Ross: 29.8
Lou: 29.5

NetRtg (+/- per 100 poss):
JV: -13.4
Amir: -7.4
Ross: -6.6
Lowry: -3.3

These are two gigantic concerns moving forward. The shooting is gone and the starters are getting killed.

Some people are content with mediocrity. Look at Leafs nation

Yup... So the solution was to tank so that we can be like the 76ers.... Some fans just complain soo much. I mean we just lost to the hottest team in the league....they killed us, but I don't think we should forget where we came from. A new coach can't save this team.... The players need to step up!

If you've been watching, this team has played like shit most of the year. Winning against bottom feeders shouldn't be enough to overlook this.

Frequent lurker, infrequent poster, but that game made me compelled to comment. The offense was totally broken tonight; we'll go nowhere with constant isolation basketball. Hawks played a beautiful game - honestly, first time I've really watched them since their winning run, as I typically only have time to see our games - and credit to them. The gulf in class was evident from the beginning. Incredibly frustrating watch!

They move the ball well. But the way they're shooting the ball right now is not sustainable. They're just playing with a lot of confidence.

I wonder if the spurs have any more coaches ripe for poaching?

i dont see how it isn't sustainable. basically everyone on the team are shooters. and especially against teams with shitty defense like the raptors.

why isn't it sustainable? when you take efficient shots, for the most part, you get efficient results

If only.

Thank you, sir!

They have the 5th best ORTG and DRTG per nba.com, and 2nd best NetRtg. They hold opponents to the 4th lowest FG% (7th for opposing 3%). Their D should be sustainable.

The ball does move well, and they have lots of good shooters getting open shots.
