Game Thread Nov 04, 2021 05:30PM MT: Jazz at Hawks

Added to Calendar: 11-04-21

These three game in four night stretches can be brutal. I'd be content going 2-1 as there's zero reason we should lose to the Magic, but both the Hawks and Heat are a tough out.

We will see how things go. Niang wasn’t supposed to play over Jeff Green, sometimes expectations aren’t met. I would agree that it’s not really a decision to regret, however. Especially compared to others.

I loved me some Minivan and thought he was underrated while he was here. There’s still a sentiment out there that he was never an NBA player at all. Glad he’s found a good landing spot.

Ironic that the conversation has turned to Niang because I got a much needed day off today and ended up watching much of the Game of the Week or whatever it's called on NBA TV, Chicago at Philly. It was the Philly feed and the conversation revolved more about Niang than any other player on the roster. The town is absolutely in love with this guy, he even got the MVP chant at a recent game apparently, to which Embid reportedly responded to Niang, "Don't let it happen again!". Also, he reportedly broke into a sprint on one play, and there has been some talk of changing his nickname from Minivan to Sprinter. Anyway, who doesn't like Georges Niang?, couldn't be happier for him!

Yeah…as a huge fan of his I’m happy he’s found a good landing spot. I don’t know what the general fan opinion was…but around here it seemed like people were just hoping he would fail and once he had a bad playoffs they were really done with him.

He’s a really nice player and if he can shoot well in the playoffs (which he has already done in the past) the Sixers got a huge discount. Teams are paying 4-5x more for that type of production. Their fans should be ecstatic about that signing.

The great thing is that four years ago the debate was Mitchell or Simmons, and now it’s Niang or Simmons and I think Niang has edged him out.
 
Anyways….Jazz have a game against Atlanta tonight. First chance to win against a tough, healthy opponent.
 
Donovan's out. Royce and Whiteside will play.
