They were up 96-83 with 4:39 left vs the Spurs in December and lost. Their style of play is horrid for protecting leads. All they do is jack long 3s all game, which lead to long rebounds and quick transition buckets the other way. No lead is safe with the way they play.

Up 97-77 with 8:20 left on your own home court, is a bad way to lose a game.

Hawks have a knack for coming back. They were down 110-100 last week vs the Bulls with 3:00 left and came back and won.

Mike D'Antoni has been doing Mike D'Antoni things in the NBA since 2003! I can't believe teams keep hiring this clown as head coach.

I'll never forget the game he was coaching for the Suns and they were up 3. The Suns let the opposition hit a 3 to tie the game instead of fouling the player before he got a shot off.

They haven't been the same since Eric Gordon got injured about a month ago. He's back but not the same player. I know he's the 6th man but he's vital to their offensive punch because he's not just a jumpshooter, he can break down a defense. Plus Anderson was out for a little while and Harden is showing signs of fatigue. You have to wait until they're fully healthy again to get a true measure of their team. I bet they look better after the All Star break.

You just have to wait until they're fully healthy

Hot teams tend to cool getting closer to all star break. Hawks aren't bad either but yeah basically just pick spots. Funny day I took a high ass spread in Spurs -17, I stopped doing this after GS last year but Spurs won by 16.
