Dejounte Murray, on the intensity of the Wednesday and Thursday practices:
“We would be in the film room, and Quin would be like, ‘Well, we’re just going to walk through some things’. And then the next thing you know, we’d be going up and down (cont.)” pic.twitter.com/xxreZuHyeL12:49 AM

I enjoyed this little observation from Quin Snyder on Dejounte Murray’s midrange game:
“They’re not long twos, either. He’s getting deep enough where they’re potshots for him. He’s unique in that sense.” – 11:20 PM

Inspired Heat second half effort ends with 6th loss in 7 games, on Randle 3 with just over a second to go, 122-120 to Knicks. Heat can fall to 8th if loses to Hawks tomorrow in Miami. Randle 43, Butler 33, Herro 29. – 10:34 PM
Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
I firmly believe that Nate McMillan was good for Trae Young and John Collins and I feel the same way, if not more strongly, about how Quin Snyder will impact Onyeka Okongwu and Jalen Johnson. – 10:31 PM

A couple of things that Quin Snyder didn’t like:

How is Hawks billionaire Tony Ressler’s media campaign going?
“Ressler,” explains a typical comment under a Ressler interview with @Jeff Schultz of the Athletic, “is such a tool.”

Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
Hawks could pass Heat for 8th seed by winning next 2 in Miami over next 4 days. And Toronto has a good enough team to pass Miami. But… Still very hard to see Wizards or Bulls or Pacers knocking Heat out of play-in (so lower than 10). But at this rate, who knows? – 9:16 PM

Impressive 1st quarter by the Atlanta Hawks. They lead 31-19 over the Blazers. The stat of the game is the following one:

Hawks currently have JJ on Jerami Grant… so there you go. But he was whistled for a foul on trying to pick off a pass intended for Grant.
Hawks lead 25-16 w/ 2:50 left in 1Q. – 7:57 PM

Jalen Johnson is one of nine Hawks to play thus far, which could mean an off night from AJ Griffin, based upon what Quin Snyder said two days ago. – 7:55 PM

6:28, 1Q Hawks force a Blazers timeout after a Trae Young alley oop to Clint Capela for a dunk. Hawks lead 13-7 and have held the Blazers to 3-9 overall shooting after forcing 4 turnovers, 3 in the last 90 seconds. – 7:50 PM
Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Feels like the Hawks should be ahead by more than 13-7 since it seems like the basketball group from Portland is trying to propel the ball from one player to another for the first time in their lives. – 7:48 PM

I imagine the Blazers would absolutely love for the Hawks to double Jerami Grant – 7:46 PM

In 2018, Houston 6th-ranked defense had a number of switchable defenders to swarm and disrupt.
5 years and 71 points later, that versatility is gone — and Damian Lillard feasted.
