NERMAN

I hope the fact he only played 18 minutes last night helps.  It's a different offense when he is on his game and I think we'll need that to be able to win 3 more games.  His shot did look better so maybe he's getting back on track.

I hope Nate tells the boys to have fun tonight.  They were never supposed to be here so just enjoy it. 

I can't see Tucker guarding Trae.  That'll definitely be Jrue.  

They could put Tucker on JC and make life uncomfortable for him but I don't think he'll start.

Jrue - Trae

Pat - Bogi

Middleton - Kev

Giannis - JC

Lopez - Clint

I don't know if it cost us the game but I told my two sons it was a huge swing at the time.  

Keep the intensity on defense and have confidence in your shot.  We need JC, Kev, Bogi, Gallo, Lou playing loose.  I'd like to see more passing in the half court game to get those guys going.   That's on Tree to make sure they get early touches and good looks at the basket.  I've seen too much iso and contested shots the last couple games.

Watch Bogi light it up tomorrow.

Get it going Hawks!

They should have had a bigger lead in the 1st half when they had the momentum.  Gotta fight back for it now.

I thought Simmons had his best all around game of the series.  Gotta give him some credit.

Defense has been ass with it without him but it has been brutal down the stretch.  The guys clearly don’t have their heart in it.

Saying their heart isn't in it is just silly when they're out there giving it everything they've got.  They just got beat.

They got smoked in the 1st and 3rd, won the 2nd and 4th.

If Collins had heart he would be so much better. 

I dont question JC's heart. 

Huerter had a real bad game especially compared to how he'd been playing.

Fyi, Clippers came back from 0-2 after losing homecourt.

Series is 1-2. We still have another game in Atlanta.

Dont throw in the towel just yet. 

You don't quit just because it got hard. We thought it was going to be easy, but its time to regroup and look in the mirror.

Philly needs 4 wins to advance, not 2.

 

I'll be at Mondays game.  Never quit on my teams until the season is over.  Even though it's hard as hell being a fan of everything Atlanta.

They've played Embid much better this game but Harris has been really good.  That's where we miss Dre.

I wish I was as optimistic as some of the guys in here but I'm actually realistic lol

You post as much about being realistic as you do about the Hawks

Trae floater!

Nice move by Cap

They need more passing in their halfcourt game

Much better 2nd qtr

Very likely a L if there's no bench run in the 2nd quarter.

Long game.  They'll settle down.

They gotta loosen up
