Very solid first half from the boys. Trae struggling a bit but sure will get it together. Also, boy have we missed Bogi!

OO needs to show out for his birthday and we really need this win to get back on track.

Come on Hawks!

I know some people will say a moral victory in a professional sport is a waste of time, but I truly believe this kind of gritty performance is gonna help us in the short and long term. Could we have boxed out better? Sure. Cut down on giving them open looks? Absolutely. But the heart and energy we played with for all 48 minutes will only leave us in good stead moving forward when DJM and company get back.

Great to see Bogi back also. With his shooting being like it can be(As shown tonight) and when the aforementioned DJM and company return, we will be a force to be reckoned with in each and every game.

Alas though, I must now see what time Advance Auto Parts opens in the morning so I can get some cleaning supplies.

Classic way JJ Reddick used to do it. Come on refs make the right call for once.

Second time that stupid f*** has dived. Refs are horse shit.

Adopt me Bogi!

I wouldn't piss on these refs if they were on fire. Hell, might be the one to start it.

So proud of our effort tonight guys, keep it up!

Irving can't f***ing miss tonight, ridiculous.

Let's go boys! Only down 4 , loving the effort. Durant has to wear down at some point.

Somebody stop that spider looking f***er please.

I like Dansby but he is not gonna get the money with the Braves that he thinks he is entitled too.

Yea this is the part of the season we dig ourself in a hole and limp into the play in and lose.

That's the spirit.

Sucks as he was playing really well and the only guy I totally trusted shooting the 3. Get well DJM, we will miss you mightily. The key will be who will step into the gap? Our bench is not exactly title material as it were. Though Martin can give us something maybe, we will see.

Only one of those I would take would be Snyder.

This won't be a good look if he misses practice but attends these events later this evening.

In the world we live in today, it would be a really bad idea to be too sick to attend practice but fine to go mingle with a crowd of people.  Agree with your take.

Yes most definitely, will come off as very bad PR for him if he goes to these events. What will his excuse be for not practicing but attending these? I love Trae, but this would irk me I must admit.

Pitiful last night.Bad thing is a lot of the misses were from damn good looks.

This isn't the days of Pistol Pete,you have to be dynamite from 3 if want to win titles.If we don't get better from behind the arc,won't win a damn thing.

Make em practice 3's all damn day today.

I am getting so damn tired of us getting out hustled and out worked.No damn excuse for that.Earn your paycheck.

And as has beem said,6-36 from 3?!Pathetic and bad thing is a lot came from good looks.

Made NY look way better than what they are.

Still think we can win division and make some noise playoff wise but something needs to change quickly or this will be a shit season.

Dude should have stayed in school a bit longer to improve his game. Will never be anything in the NBA, might as well head to Europe.

I have hated the Knicks ever since a guy I served with was a huge fan of them and was a prick who always ate all the f***ing doughnuts

But anyway, as far as the game itself I feel good about it and think we will come out the victor. And hey, just ordered this sticker a couple days ago lol:

Thank you GM.

Am a proud Coast Guard vet myself and even though USA has its issues,I am still proud to be an American and always will be.

"Pal?"

hehe

Am I to read into that some attitude? Seems likely. But I meant no offense, as-if anyone should be keeping up with A.J. Lawson's career or they're somehow an inferior fan.

Answering your questions...

No, they didn't waive him, they sent him to that league you watch a ton of and know about a lot of the players.

Most recent game: https://stats.gleague.nba.com/game/2052200171/

And no, I've never been to a Skyhawk game.

(So does that mean I am inferior? Do I get some grace since I live about 10 hours away? Please. It's important to me.)

I use the term pal a lot with people I know.Not meant to be offensive at all so apologies if took it that way.

And just curious if you had been to one,fair enough if never have.

As far as Lawson,got my wires crossed.Regardless doing well this season.

Hope we beat the Knicks tonight

I think a lot of times this season we have been out hustled, out worked, and simply outmanned and this is how we have lost some games where we really should have put teams away. Now when I say be agressive, I don't mean play dirty, more about getting stuck in there, diving for loose balls, get in their heads a bit as it were,etc.

Can these kinds of things be taught or addressed in a beehooving manner by Nate and company? Or do the players just need to have it click on their own?

Just hate to see us lose games not because the other team has more talent, but simply because they outwork us and genuinely seem to give a f*** as the game winds down.
