Tucker just stopped the last two Hawks possessions on his own, almost got a steal before the charge too.
I feel like the only thing saving us is that the Hawks are playing pathetic basketball. I'll take it though
Harden wants to lose. There is no other explanation for why he simply refuses to do anything but hoist.
Whether we win or lose this game will solely be a function of who shoots better from 3 the rest of the way. I’m calm . But I don’t like that we’ve essentially gone 7 deep. MDA lies when he said Hartenstein is the backup center . PJ tucker is clearly our backup center . I just hope tomorrow night MDA comes to his senses and doesn’t rely on PJ and Clint only. PJ has seen his shooting fall off a cliff recently , maybe it’s random noise , maybe it has to due with the fact that he’s playing the most minutes of his career ? I don’t believe we can look ourselves in the mirror and say “we are trying to win a championship” because the way we are milking PJ and James (among others at times) screams of prioritizing regular season wins over all else. What MDA is ultimately doing by playing these guys so much is teaching them to take plays off , because they have to in order to have energy to play down the stretch
He had knee surgery in the offseason. Not wanting to push his knee too much. Not been playing on B2B's. Going to save him for OKC. I'm sure that will be interesting, WB vs CP
