Rob makes an amazing difference.

When he's healthy, he just raises our ceiling. Not just defense and rebounding, but his passing and foul shooting is underrated.

And his vision and athleticism on loose balls is the best I've ever seen. It's like he's magnetically attracted to the ball

Seems like just yesterday when he overslept for a conference call and was late to his first C's practice.

Yes he does and we absolutely need him healthy if we hope to win a title.

Having said that, he should be a better defensive rebounder. He doesn't hold his position real well sometimes and gets pushed under the basket. He needs to be much more aggressive blocking out and then going to get the rebound.

Really loved their effort all night tonight.  It was much needed against an opponent that was matching the intensity level.

Take this thing in 5 so that Sixers series can start ASAP.  Maybe get a game without Embiid.
Yup

Is John Collins not good or is his fit in Atlanta the problem? Dude seems to have all the tools to be a good stretch the floor big.

Not good.

Maybe I’m just weird. Think he would be a good fit on the Cs. I don’t think think ATL uses him right. Guy averaged 22 ppg on 40% from 3 a few years ago. They don’t even run any sort of plays for him on pick n pops or lobs or anything. He’s sort of just “there”.

This Hawks team is playing better than their seeding. I think they’ll improve a lot too with Snyder at the helm.

Murray might be suspended for game 5. He went and intentionally bumped the ref after the buzzer rang.

Quin Snyder does seem to be an effective coach with these NBA level players.
Be interesting to see how Trey Young plays with Snyder as the head guy now.

I have a friend who is coach at a small college in Missouri. When Snyder was the coach at Mizzou, my friend drove over to watch practice a couple of times. He said Snyder is a real odd bird.
