Official Game Thread: Hawks at Knicks

[TheNorthCydeRises]

The fact that the Hawks are winning this game, despite the Knicks shooting the ball like this, is a very good sign.

From an efficiency standpoint, this is arguably Trae's best 1st half of his career.

Conversely Hawks have created 11 turnovers and only turned it 3 times so it's a wash. Q is which one is sustainable? The TOs or the 3pt?

[TheNorthCydeRises]

My bad Trae.  Didn't mean to jinx you.

[MaceCase]

Dumb turnover 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Kevin is ON IT!!

[MaceCase]

Save us, Kevin

[hawkman]

Heck of a pass to Huerter by Trae!

[Lurker]

What a play by Young there.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Excellent play by Trae and Kevin.

( standing ovation )

 

Kevin really answering the challenge tonight.  Trae running the team masterfully.

Surely this 3 point shooting is going to flip in the 2nd half.

This has been nothing short of an outstanding game. 

[JeffS17]

Heurter looking so good... his improvement over last year is incredible.  He's creating his own shot, has a nice short midrange game, finishing around the rim much better, and still hitting 3s at a nice clip.

Damn. The Knicks aren't making this game easy. I don't know why but Julius Randle seems to always kill us. Credit to him for improving his 3 point shot and playmaking. Looking for us keep the pressure on them in the second half. 

[REHawksFan]

If Bogie gets going in the 2nd half Hawks will be hard to beat unless Randle goes nuts.

Randle's been killing everybody lately.

Do not be fooled by this half, the same thing happened when they played the Hornets.

The Knicks will let you get all you can eat in the 1st half but really turn up the defense and shut teams down in the 2nd half.

We have not slowed them down at all despite forcing hella turnovers.

That half was fools gold and we are in for a rude awakening if we cant pick up our defensive intensity.

Glad the Hawks didnt trade him.

Offensively . . . yes.

Defense hasn't been horrible.  It's just that people are making shots they normally don't make, outside of RJ Barrett.

It's too early to trade any of the youngins. Wait till their 2nd contract and know what we getting.

Just imagine if we ever got Bogi, Kevin, Gallo and Trae all hot from three in the same game? It would be a shooting barrage like never seen before.
