    Really enjoying the defense and passing.

    Another great shooting game by Layman.

    Simons in 4 games: 12, 10, 8, 20 (all off the bench)

    Papa G has been the biggest disappointment. Wasn’t expecting him to be a factor offensively but he looks SLOWWW with limited instincts. Not the guy I saw in eurobasket with Greece.

    Collins killing it again, but not in the boxscore.
    Hawks shoot 33% tonight. Other 2 games Collins played, teams averaged 35%.

    So in total, when Collins plays (3 games): Opponents shoot 34%
    When Collins doesn't play (1 game): Opponents shoot 47%

    That's a huge difference.

    He’s been absolutely dominant defensively.

    I checked, there wasn't one single post during the game in your game thread. That is kind of sad. I almost felt bad for you.

    Yes..."lot's of great players". I would submit Biggie is quite a ways from that and perhaps it's a bit premature to put him in the same paragraph as Harden, CP3, Nash, etc.

    I'm trying to figure out if that's a typo, or the most backhanded compliment in the history of the world.

    Of course it isn't.

    This is the summer league PLAYOFFS. Regular season my ass. This is what if feels like to be a Warriors fan during the motherfucking NBA playoffs.

    Learn the summer league schedule, then post!

    sure..duh..but the point was those guys had many games with over 5 turnovers......turnovers don't make him a bust in this situation..playing with guys after a pretty sparse game prep....he's young and he'll have to make strides....but he can get you some Ed Davis rebounds night in night out...

    I can't believe Atlanta outscored us in the 2nd quarter.

    You have your indefatigable stats and logic. I have my useless quips. I'll hold my end down, as I'm sure you will yours.

    One of my biggest frustrations with our bigs is that they are aloud to do to0 much, (I include Aminu in that group)
    Swanigan hustles his ass off. He is relentless on the boards. He plays physical. If he just concentrated on that he would be useful. Don't shoot, don't fucking dribble, just rebound and pass. If he does that then yes he can be a rotational player.
