    Any chance one of those sub .500 teams will be the #1 seed we could be up against in the Playoffs?

    Yes but when your record is 24-36, that "playing teams .500 or below" doesn't quite have the same meaning.

    the Hawks know how to tank. Has Capela even played a game for them?

    I guess this could be another installment of "portland drafted the wrong Collins".

    Young has been playing though. Maybe the Blazers are using the same strategy!

    And when we lose to some of these sub .500 teams the better team will have won, too.

    Were not good right now.

    Hope Trent, Little and Simons have good games. Hope Wenyen gets some positive run. After that, it's kind of 'meh'.

    Keep going to Whiteside. Collins can't guard him but instead everyone else has to get theirs.

    Blazers have already given up 8 three point attempts for Atlanta that have almost all been WIDE open. They're very lucky Atlanta has only hit 2 of them.

    Atlanta has several players that we should be able to matchup up with just based on who is closest to them on defense. No excuse for this.

    I like how we're scoring in the paint. They have no paint protectors

    And I don't want to hear anyone say it's young guys or players that need to learn the system. Trent was guarding Trae and everyone else in the starting lineup are vets that should know how to play defense.
