Luka was food on defense. They went for the switch and Kawhi went right at him. 

But Luka had 9 points and 1 rebound in the last 2 minutes of garbage time! That is 162/18 per 36.

"Do you feel in charge?"

Hilarious.

Trae is a better defender than ... that other guy, no cap.

It's too easy to get a switch on Luka. I really like what Nate does with Trae. He basically moves like he has ants in his pants to show, flash and go under the screen.

Exactly. NY fans were fuming that they didn't isolate him more, but that's because we didn't let them. Bullock was not a threat to drive so Trae had a ton of time to recover after flashing

I know Austin Rivers seems like a bit of a dbag, but that dude has played really well for DEN.

And my longtime crush Monte Morris has been stellar as well.

Nets and Bucks tip off, and, in a New York minute...

Start one, that's a good idea.

I think it’s been awhile since anyone cared about other games because ours were tough enough to watch at times lol. There is the around the league forum, but with us actually watching these games for Hawks interest it is a good idea!

I'm going to be very disappointed if the Nets win the NBA Finals this year because of them being a super friends team.

Heck...a Nets-Clippers final won't be fun either. But we know good and well that the Clippers likely choke in the 2nd round, if they make it (likely will honestly because it is #JustClipsThangs for all of the series they play to go long).

Man...I was kind of excited for tonight's game too.

Don't sleep on us if we get to the ECF

That means it's up to us to stop the SuperFriends.

Since we're the "villains", may as well act like The Legion of Doom.

 

 

• Lex Luthor - Schlenk . . . ( started to make this Nate, but the bald head evil genius of the Hawks is Travis )
• Captain Cold - Trae 
• Sinestro - Bogi
• Bizzaro - Gallo
• Solomon Grundy - Solo
• Cheetah - Lou Williams . . . ( I'm sure Lou has been there too )
• Brainiac - Collins
• Black Manta - Hunter
• Grodd - ( leaving this blank because I don't want to be cancelled, or called a racist, or a self-hater, etc )
• The Toy Man - Okongwu . . . ( No, I'm not changing him to Grodd )
• Riddler - Capela
• Giganta - Huerter . . . ( both red heads )
• Scarecrow - Cam

Speaking of the Legion of Doom, how cool would it be if the Hawks had a video highlight clip of this before player introductions?

If Memphis can play "Whoop That Trick", ATL should at least play this.

This list is incredible! One slight tweak though...I think Bruno should be Solomon Grundy.

Thought about that.  But the dude was already named Solomon.  And Solo is our enforcer ( and he knocked out Lebron ).  So he fits the Solomon Grundy character.

Yeah . . this is definitely Solo.

To be fair, Luka gave it to the Clippers in that series.  He's so talented. However, Dallas, which the media accused Atlanta of being, is so Luka centric, that they can't compete until they get more talent.  They shot their shot on KP though so right now they are first round fodder.

Zeke and LP questioning Luka's ball dominance. They're questioning whether a team can win a Championship with one guy dominating the ball. Narrative shift incoming...
