Game Day: Suns (47-18) @ Hawks (36-30), Wed 5/5/21

Post by Superbone »

Time: 5:00 pm AZ (5:00 pm PT/8:00 pm ET)
Place: State Farm Arena, Atlanta, GA
TV: BSAZ/NBALP

Tough one on a back to back after playing OT the night before and traveling from Cleveland. The Hawks are playing well and are currently on a 2 game winning streak. They're also tough at home winning roughly two thirds of their home games. Suns are currently tied with the 76ers for longest active winning streak with five in a row.

Go Suns!!!

I think the Hawks have a good shot at getting this win, but the last 5 minutes we saw from the Suns they looked like they could've beaten the 2015 Warriors.

I think the Suns lose tonight. Its the 2nd night of a back to back, following an emotional overtime win.

But I'd feel a lot better about the Suns pulling it out if Ayton gives the team an offensive boost.

I'd love to see Monty rest our backcourt tonight but I doubt that happens.

This will be a tough game. Atlanta has strangely played better since Trae Young got hurt; I guess Bogdanovich is shouldering a lot of load and playing very well for them.

In a game like this I really wish we'd just give heavy minutes to guys who don't usually see enough action. Throw Galloway and Moore out there, say. Give Kaminsky a long run. Maybe even let Stix have some non-garbage minutes. Just see what our non-burnt-out players could give us. They're all talented and would love the opportunity.

How did I go all these years without realizing there were 2 Bogdanovichs? :shock: :lol:

Haha I literally thought he had simply changed the spelling of his name to Bojan and kept switching teams, but I started to wonder how he seems to be on every team we play lol.

Young has been back for their last three games.

Stupesss at that first foul call on Mikal

Either way this is a big game for my belief in his growth. Last time we played them I was disappointed that Monty let the Hawks hide Trae on Mikal as a matchup he doesn't have to work.

Mikal being aggressive on O is necessary

Players always like to give it to teams who had them and let them go. Even though he never played a game for us, he's got extra motivation.
