We had two old problems this game. 11 minutes of the starting lineup, which obviously has been a problem all year long because Scola. And 8 minutes of a problem I thought had long since disappeared - units with neither Lowry nor DeMar. Both problems were predictably disastrous. -10 in those 11 minutes, then -5 in those 8 minutes.
Carroll looked really good. I guess that's good news.
Hawks are desperate for wins and they definitely didn't want to get swept by Toronto. Plus, ATL pissed away a win against the Lebrons last week at home, so everything was in their court in terms of motivation, something to prove, etc. Raps didn't play with much urgency except in a few spurts.

Scola was his normal terrible self. Biyombo has looked lost out there the past few games. Ditto Joseph. DeRozan looked like 2014/2015 DeRozan, jacking up bad shots like they were going out of style. Lowry's elbow hurts when he extends it and he can't make free throws (yet he played 30+ minutes yet again). Powell looked like a rookie for most of the game. Late in the game, JV had 12 & 8, in just 21 minutes played. Bebe and Carroll were given some court time (yet Wright wasn't, and none of them got minutes at the expense of the heavy minutes players).
Just a weird game overall.
Rest against the Pacers, then come out and bury the Knicks.

I noticed this during the game last night - pretty fascinating bench reaction to a sick Derozan dunk:

First of all, there's no pre-game show, there's no post game show. The halftime show is absolute GARBAGE. Then they put the game on DIFFERENT channels every game.
I was watching the Blue Jays game the other day. The game was on ALL four Sportsnet Channels + Sportsnet One. Then they did a 2 hour post game show after the game lol. TWO. And every commercial on Sportsnet these days are about the Blue Jays. That's how you market team.Mamba Mentality
