Teague seem to get the best of Kyrie when they match up.

I guess he's not outplaying Muscula and Antić in practice. He got to ball out next season, it's essentially an expiring contract.

I'd say the whole Ferry/Gearon situation. I didn't see it coming.

Hawks fans are legit this year. It's going to be tough. I still remember being at the GS/ATL game this year, fans legitimately going for the Hawks.

I got Hawks in 6. Hawks are better than them in every position except SF.

True. I'd love to see the media market Al Horford. He's been through a lot the past few years with injuries, change of management, longest tenured Hawk.

Seriously! Great game from Horford! Unlike how Lopez was a match up problem for Horford, Horford has owned Gortat.

Yeah game 4 is a must win. I have no doubt they can't win game 5 in ATL.

You think Muscula should gain weight?

The series is not over yet. I could see if the Hawks were done 3-1, 3-0.

Interesting. http://www.nytimes.com/1994/05/14/sports/pro-basketball-disgusted-pippen-sits-down-for-game-winning-play.html Carroll has been balling this playoffs and I know he's up for a new contract. Carroll is jealous of Korver?

I don't think the Hawks need a top level FA to sign to put them over the top. They just got to continue building. Next year will be year 3 for Coach Bud. Thabo should be healthy which would be huge for the Hawks. Brand will probably retire but that presents a good opportunity for Tavares to be groomed. Hopefully the new ownership don't be cheap and let Carroll and Millsap go.

The starters and bench need to play a complete game for 3 more games.

Huge loss for the Wizards. No excuse for the Hawks to finally make it to the ECF. I could see the Wizards winning ONE game in DC but Hawks got this in 6.

Maybe he was nervous.

Yeah Teague hasn't been the most mentally tough starter this season. I guess with Bud continuing to play Dennis, all this can do is push Teague to play better.

Anybody going to a Taco Mac this Saturday to watch game 3?

Yesterday's game was a must win and the Hawks came through. I didn't expect Sessions to play that well and Hawks got Pierce into foul trouble. I was surprised Wall was out for the game but good thing Hawks took advantage of it, otherwise, it would be pressure like no other.

I'm not sure what a max contract for Carroll looks like but at this rate, ATL may have a homegrown superstar in Carroll. It's crazy how much his offense improved after spending one summer on improving his 3 point shot. I can only imagine how much better he'll be next season where he could possibly become more of a focus of the offense like how Kawhi Leonard is for the Spurs if the Hawks were to resign him.

I guess a SF who can play D and can shoot the 3 would be nice so there will always be spacing in the second unit like the starters.

I'd say Al. He's a match up problem for the Wizards. He's too quick for the Wizards to guard him in the post and he can stretch the floor. I was surprised he was shooting corners 3's though.

Yeah I could see this being a 7 game series if the Hawks win on Tuesday. Can't see the Hawks winning back-to-back in Washington.

LA is nice but I'd pay whatever to get Millsap back. He may be the best PF the Hawks ever had and he's the best FA PF this summer.

Good win for the Hawks! The game should have been a blow out but props to the Hawks by not letting Millsap's rust and Al's injury or the officiating to be an excuse not to win.

10 million is overpaying for him. This Hawks regime is all about giving fair deals instead of overpaying like under Sund. I'd give him the same deal Ariza got this summer, a front-loaded 4 year 32 million dollar deal. They're close in age too and have the same impact for their respective teams. Millsap, I'd give him a similar deal to what Boozer got when he signed with Chicago (5 years 80 million). I don't think the Hawks can offer him a 5th year so that would make his deal 4 years 64 million.
