These last 3 games have got me thinking...

How worried should we be about our rebounding?

I feel like we match up way better with the Warriors than the Grizzlies in a hypothetical finals. I think our team defense and our shooting can hang with anybody in a shootout, but Memphis slows it down, pounds the post, cleans the glass and rides good defense to win a low-scoring game, that might give us problems.

They outrebounded us something like 55-37, that could be a problem

We def need to figure out rebounding before the playoffs

It's our biggest weakness

I think Horford is fine as a rim protector, and Paul rotates well, but Pero spends so much time away from the basket on offense.

Love/Mozgov/Thompson could give Cleveland a solid edge in rebounding, hopefully that wouldn't be enough to swing a series

Yeah, I spent some time looking at FAs a couple days ago to see who could be the Pero replacement (granted, these are after this season).

The only 2 who stuck out to me are
Alexis Ajinca (I actually really like this fit, plus he's cheap. Granted he doesn't have much history of shooting 3s)
Andrea Bargnani (including a big budget pray for health)

I doubt Ajinca is available via trade given NOLAs gotta go all-in on playoff'ing.

For this year, I don't know who is available to get via trade (or who we'd want to give up) but there's always Jermaine O'Neal.

^^24 rebounds for Whiteside, no problem

We've now won 8 straight games that were the 2nd leg of a back-to-back.

I think our depth is a real strength, even resting starters our guys still got the win in Miami.

Yeah, didn't play 5 of our top 8 guys (Thabo and 4 that rested)

Although I'd put Bazemore at 8 and pero at 9 at this point

Highest winning percentage again.

Longest current winning streak. Only team so far to clinch playoff spot.

But media by all means overlook us.

Good SI article

http://www.si.com/nba/2015/03/10/atl...ke-budenholzer

Power forward Paul Millsap turns down a five-footer, and Teague turns down an open three so Korver can line up a more open three. “That’s what we do,” Teague says. “That’s who we are. Everybody touches the ball, nobody dances with it, and even if you’ve got a layup, you give it to Kyle Korver.”

No one on Hawks scored more than 30 in a single game this season.

I don't know. I think we will cruise past the Nets. Don't think we need anyone to take over a game or anything. Where not having a superstar could hurt us is when Lebron gets calls we know Horford or Milsap would not.

I was being sarcastic

We do allow second fewest foul shots in the league, so I'm hopeful that we won't be killed by free throws (never know tho, against lebron)
