We couldn't overcome the refs tonight. We literally won the game 5 times.
But for the overall betterment of the franchise, it's better that we lost so the true rebuilding process can begin. If anything, Melo has risen his trade stock up last couple games and Lee, Holiday and BJ have proven they're keepers.
FINAL/4OT
ATL 142 NYK 139
Obviously we lose. Finding new ways to lose is literally what we do best. Its ingrained in our psyche.
This coach flat out sucks..You have to go to Holiday off the bench first instead of Kuz for defense...Not playing Willy, got to be kidding me...Noah fouls out then KOQ????
Why isn't Willy in the game when DHow fouls out???

Tough loss. No one has a reason to hold their heads down. Hard fought game. 4 OT's is crazy. Thought we had it after hitting some three's in that last OT. We had open shots to go up by 6 but missed. Really sucks losing all these close games.
39 fouls called against NY, 24 against Atlanta
Various other referee misses like the Technical that should have been called on the slammed ball that went well into the crowd.
I don't think I've ever seen calls this blatantly one-sided before.

Not one to complain about the refs much but completely agree with the bold. I can't put into words how frustrating it was.

Once Melo went out, Milsap was unstoppable. Thought they should have put Willy and KO in late. Kuz was missing and getting eaten alive on defensive side.

No..KUZ should not have been in the game...Coach loves the three ball is why Kuz is in the game...KOQ on Milsap and Willy on Musala
Willy is very skilled and can get boards and is nifty around the basket...Crazy...No one to defend Willy in the lane..
They were looking for the damn three when it was tied 139-139 when Willy was wide open in the lane...
I'm going to post a new topic of all the missed calls in this game bc it's worth stating for the record. There were too many to count.

Even after Milsap got some offensive rebounds, JH decided to keep Kuz in. Would have gone to a bigger line up. And like I said, think Kuz was 1 for 7 anyway.
Good game, but we aren't good.

Holiday was was in the game. The only real issue is not going Willy down the stretch on offensive possessions and maybe trying Baker instead of Kuz and just play a Holiday on Muscala.

We may not be good but the refs are terrible.

He's been very inconsistent with Willy...not sure where he's coming from.
Given the fact that Atlanta plays a small lineup...using Holiday at the 3 is not a difficult decision.

Wow...I usually look at that kind of stuff...pretty ridiculous.

First guy off the bench is Kuz..I'm talking from the beginning of the game...

Actually thought about Baker instead of Kuz too at one point during the game, since Kuz had a poor game shooting from distance.

Slide Anthony over the the 4 then, I assume...put Holiday at 3?
