Can't believe the Hawks beat the Warriors yesterday. The Hawks are the real deal with a 16 game win streak and beating the Warriors, they barely made the playoffs last year and now they may be the best team in the NBA. If PJ manages a turn around like the Hawks next year I'll take back everything I said about him being a rookie exec and GM.
Last season the Hawks were an above .500 team before their Center Horford went down with injury in their 46th game having a 25-21 record. The Hawks played .450 ball without Horford until Millsap went down with injury. The Hawks ended last season playing .463 ball 38-44 record.
Having a healthy long depth roster in the 2014-15 season got the 42-9 Atlanta Hawks on a roll.
Derek Fisher don't understand, he is clueless as a rookie coach.
When your rookie assignment are purposely TANKING the season .. u purposely WIN vs top contender teams, and winning coaches to see how high the intensity of KEEPER players are.
Derek Fisher gave Amare 17 minutes playing-time in each of the last two games (Nets/Warriors), both games Amare scored or went to the Line putting opponents big frontline in foul trouble.
Amare's contract could've been traded a long time ago, especially after the Knicks 16-5 run when Phil Jax became president last season. The Knicks would rather buy-out Amare to test their luck in FA market, rather then trade Amare to a playoff team for future picks and one or two good players.
It was nice seeing ex-Knicks David Lee 22 minutes of a double-double plus 5 dimes last night.
What did we get for the David Lee trade again?
The Warriors 2nd unit bench players had a 100% better chemistry on both sides of the court than any of the Knicks rotation lineup had throughout the Knicks season. CTFU
