Had the the highest +/- of anybody in the Hawks. THJ was a factor as well, I always liked Timmy, ATL patience has paid off for them.
Didn't know much about Grant when PJ traded THJ for the draft pick that got him but I'm certain now, TJH will have the better career.

THjr has the pedigree and a legitimate NBA skill. We could've used his 3-point shot this year.
It was a fair deal getting a mid first round pick, and if we selected correctly.... we would be golden. Grant was highly though if in some circles, and he also had the pedigree, but if the triangle doesn't place emphasis on PGs, that pick screamed need (not BPA).
Still, obviously having Grant and Rolo moving forward next 2 years better than nada.

I guess the grass is greener for them
Russ was terrible in the 4th qtr. shot 28%. I know he denies it but I think fatigue has to be an issue, he's not a great 3 pt shooter to begin with and losing his legs in the 4th affects his shot.Westbrook shooting his 4th quarter bricks again Thunder finished; REGULAR season MVP only manages a one and done um um um
Game 1 - 4th Qtr - 0-2 FG
Game 2 - 4th Qtr - 4-18 FG
Game 3 - 4th Qtr - 3-7 FG
Game 4 - 4th Qtr - 5-11 FG
Game 5 - 4th Qtr - 2-11 FG
He most certainly was running low on fumes but really only 2 of those 4th qrts are terrible. He also had 2 qrts where he went for 20 I believe. I have more damming statistics from the Playoffs thus far. With exception to last night's game these were the numbers...
and in last night's game
I mean this is unreal. Not to mention how bad Roberson was from the free throw line, something like 4-22. No doubt Russ will learn from this experience, and will place more importance of being better late in games

Canaan is the starting PG but DWade has been the playmaker and ballhandler. Canaan has the rep of a shooter but not a defender but he's doing a nice job on IT so far, Canaan is more comfortable defending the shorter IT it seems.
Celts 108-97. Canaan did a decent job at PG but other guys didn't do enough like Mirotec and Portis. Mirotec took 6 shots, all 3s, if he's just going to stand behind the arc and shoot 3s then hes going to have to be a knock down 3 pt shooter. Portis pretty much disappeared since game 1.
Great game in MIL. Bucks were down 25 pts. with 5 mins left in the 3rd. Bucks came all the way back and just took the lead on a JET 3 with 3:15 left. Raps couldn't do anything right in the 4th, Bucks would actually have a bigger lead if the Bucks could make their FTs, missed 7 freebies 5 by Giannis. Kid is dead tired sucking wind on dead balls.
