Hawks Twolves 7pm Cst

[04mzwach]

Wolves are all healthy again and it's Shabazz's first game back from his injury. It wouldn't surprise me if we beat the Hawks with how well we're playing. Then again, the Hawks are a great team. I'm just happy the Wolves are healthy again and ready to make the playoffs next season. God bless.

[GOBB]

I laugh when i see posters post other time zones. As an East Coaster I always feel Est is the default. :lol

Lets go Wolves tho! Anything to shut up that annoying crop of Hawks fans.

[atljonesbro]

Looking good so far. Good game to build some confidence after that loss.

[Phantom84]

Lets go Wolves, win so we can move up that lottery.:lol

[04mzwach]

You will if we don't give an effort to tank on purpose. :(

[Graviton]

Should be an easy win, Timberwolves aren't even worthy enough to step on the same court as the Hawks 5. At least they will be honored to lose to the best team in the league.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Oh man I did not realize we had a game tonight lol

You really don't watch the Wolves obviously. :lol Oh well, I'll let their play do the talking.

[Hotlantadude81]

Hawks are sooo overpowering.

Garbage franchise, if by "their play" you mean taking it up the ass and moaning for more then yes, the Minnesota white boys will definitely be penetrated by the BBCs of the Hawks 4 and Kyle Korver's finger.

[atljonesbro]

Millsap is going off. Hope he drops 40+ tonight :applause:

:roll:

[atljonesbro]

Good to see Elton out there too. Pero has been useless.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Hawks not playing with their normal defensive intensity, ball is sticking a little bit too. I think we'll settle down as the game goes on.

[04mzwach]

This game has potential. The Wolves came to bring it obviously. Welcome back Bazz! :bowdown:

[hawksdogsbraves]

Timberwolves just draining pull up mid range jumpers like it's their job :facepalm

And the bricks pop right back to them

Damn Muhammed playing out of his mind too

[04mzwach]

I don't think the Hawks can stop us. We have too many options as far as offense for them to handle. They don't have much of a defensive advantage anywhere.

The Wolves are the truth :bowdown:

[hawksdogsbraves]

The reason we're losing is that we're getting crushed on the offensive glass, I think a lot of that has been bounces off the rim that have gone right to their guys though as opposed to their bigs truly killing us.

Just keep playing tough defense and we'll be fine.

[04mzwach]

The Wolves are the truth :bowdown:
C U in NBA Finals in a few years. :cheers:

We have some of the best rebounders in the NBA as far as Wiggins, Shabazz, Rubio...our guard play is stupid. Shabazz will out-rebound many centers. It's what he does.

No doubt, and Shabazz has been impressive, but you're not a good enough rebounding team that you're going to keep getting offensive boards at the rate you have thus far.

I don't think y'all are going to wind up with 25 OREB's like you're on pace to do.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Anthony Bennett is really bad at defense. Also offense. Dude doesn't have a lot going for him :oldlol:

[04mzwach]

Bennett is inconsistent. He has been decent last couple games but awful for a while now otherwise. If he's motivated then he'll do alright, but hasn't been while Rubio was injured. Off game tonight. If Bennett's shot is off then he's useless though.

[Hotlantadude81]

Hawks struggling with that powerful Timberwolves offense. :applause:

[04mzwach]

Wolves don't have a chance if they can't play defense. :facepalm Our offense has been night and day though. It went from bad to great the second Rubio stepped back on the court a few games ago.

[navy]

Hawks struggling with that powerful Timberwolves offense. :applause:
Timberwolves arent the same team they were. They got Rubio, Pek, Martin, and Shabazz now.

[r0drig0lac]

giannis with 8/7/7 in 19 minutes

[04mzwach]

Timberwolves arent the same team they were. They got Rubio, Pek, Martin, and Shabazz now.
Don't forget a more experienced Wiggins. The first time Wiggins faced the Grizz, Tony Allen schooled him and made him look like a fool. Then a couple games ago against the Grizz, nobody could guard him and he gave Tony Allen 2 PFs so he had to sit on the bench early.

[Hotlantadude81]

Timberwolves arent the same team they were. They got Rubio, Pek, Martin, and Shabazz now.

That's a lineup to fear. No doubt.

Your offense looked much better when Rubio was on the bench on favor of Mo Williams in the first half tonight

[04mzwach]

Rubio isn't having his typical game tonight. Maybe it's from the game he sat out last night? Anyhow, no way the Wolves will win if they keep letting you shoot 60% and Mo Williams knows nothing about defense.

[La Frescobaldi]

That's a lineup to fear. No doubt.
Pekovic ran 15 points in the 4q on Greg Monroe the other night.

He just waited around til the right time and then took over the game.

[04mzwach]

I'm waiting for Bazz to get back in. That's when we can make our move most likely.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Better effort in this quarter :applause:

[hawksdogsbraves]

I'm waiting for Bazz to get back in. That's when we can make our move most likely.

Please leave Bazz and Dieng out, don't you know it's Martin and Pek who do the real damage?

[atljonesbro]

Hawks

[hawksdogsbraves]

Anybody seen a certain bipolar douchebag named Hotlantadude recently? He's about due to pop in here and talk about how bad the Wolves are and how we should be ashamed for not being up by 30.

[04mzwach]

Pekovic is a bad rim protector and Bazz is a better post up player than Martin. They all have their qualities.

He went into hiding. He'll pop his head back out when the wolves go on a run

[04mzwach]

I'm starting to think there's no way to stop the Hawks from scoring. Wow.

[navy]

I'm starting to think there's no way to stop the Hawks from scoring. Wow.
It's possible, but it requires extreme discipline that most nba teams dont have.

Korver is the damn goat.

[Graviton]

I'm starting to think there's no way to stop the Hawks from scoring. Wow.
When were you under the impression you could? Hawks are the most dominant team of this era.

[La Frescobaldi]

Korver is the damn goat.

Korver yeah no doubt. But Horford Brand Millsap is thunderous scoring as well.

dangerous team

[hawksdogsbraves]

Bud really got the team re-focused at halftime, not surprising but still great to see :applause:

[04mzwach]

Rubio 2 for 9, not himself tonight. Nice win Hawks.

[04mzwach]

Rubio AND 1! :bowdown:

[hawksdogsbraves]

Career high for Demarre :bowdown:

What a game from your Eastern Conference player of the month :cheers:

[04mzwach]

How many opposing players have gotten ejected while playing the Hawks?

[hawksdogsbraves]

Not a lot, hardly any techs either. We're a pretty low key bunch, though our games do tend to get a bit physical.

[navy]

Rubio 2 for 9, not himself tonight. Nice win Hawks.
Umm...what? :oldlol: That's Rubio exactly.

[04mzwach]

Umm...what? :oldlol: That's Rubio exactly.
That's the old Rubio. Rubio can shoot now. 43% fg and 44% 3pt so far...

[navy]

Dat sample size. :oldlol:

[04mzwach]

Laugh it up or take a look at his shot before and now. :D I'm sure there's a youtube video somewhere

[navy]

Let's be honest. He has a long way to go before we can say that he can shoot.

[04mzwach]

Let's be honest. He has a long way to go before we can say that he can shoot.
I can't claim he's the best, but he can shoot well enough to keep defenses honest. I'm optimistic about it since I haven't seen much failure yet.

[navy]

We shall see. He was really killing the team in fourth quarters with his inability to keep defenses honest.

But shooting is something you can get better at.

[04mzwach]

We shall see. He was really killing the team in fourth quarters with his inability to keep defenses honest.
Yes, but the Grizzlies didn't keep it honest and look what happened to them. SPLASH! :bowdown: LOL

[04mzwach]

He spent 3 months re-learning his shot. It shows. I forget the coach that taught him how to re-learn but the guy had taught another player that was a bad shooter into a very good shooter. I think it may have been Jason Kidd. (the player)
