Should anyone be interested
the culmination of that awesome Flip Murray at the top of a 1-4 possession to end the first quarter officially went down as a missed layup rather than a turnover. It was a 50-50 proposition in my opinion.
Flip Murray through 3 quarters
9 minutes, 0-5 FGA (one of which was blocked by Will Solomon), 2 turnovers, 2 fouls
Nothing good happens when those two are together.
Oh My Gosh! That’s all I can say about Mike Woodson’s insistence on playing Acie and Flip together. And I’m so glad with about 5:13 left in the 4th quarter they realized that it might be a good idea to double Bosh. You just can’t get that type of game planning everywhere.
So I missed the game-my social engagements kept me elsewhere-so the box score proves rather curious to me. Joe Johnson played a rather poor game, and yet was +8 while on the court. The real kicker is how the Hawks were +8 with him on the court, he played 44 minutes, and yet they lost by five.
13 points in four minutes of bench time. Flip obviously was getting all of those minutes.
