Official Game Thread: Hawks at Knicks -- GAME 1

[Marvin24Williams]

What an awesome game. Clutch 3 by Bogi then the game winner by Trae. Dre made a big 3 earlier as well. I thought Dre played solid defense for the most part but he made some crucial, crucial mistakes down the stretch. You can't leave Burks when he's having that kind of night. 

And the best thing about Trae's night is that this is against one of the best defenses in the league. I'd like to see these "analysts" try and take this game away from him

TNT is strictly entertainment. Analysis evades them consistently. What is a Trae anyway right???

I was so disappointed by Greg Anthony and the other HOMER on the call.   Greg tried to keep his NY bias some.. but not the other guy.   Tonight, we fought, the Knicks, the crowd, the refs, and the announce team.  Great win Hawks!!

It was honestly annoying seeing how blatantly biased Greg Anthony and the other guy especially was this game. I do not want them next game. all they did was hype up every play and run the Knicks made

Think he owes Kendrick Perkins some cash now. Knowing Kendrick that jackass Steven A. better pay up.

Three different angles. I didn't realize Trae was double team and then beat one other player to get that off.

Great win. So very happy for my superstar FINALLY getting the respect he deserves (even from some of our own fans).

But can I just say that Bogie has some giant, no gargantuan, stones to hit those late 3s. Goodness he's a stone cold killer. 

Well, to be 100% honest... Trae FINALLY earned my respect. He finally played like the superstar we need him to be. In his first playoff ame, no less.

Here's hoping he keeps playing at this level for many more years!

[Diesel]

Hats off to Nate.   Great Game plan playing the ball through BB for a lot of the game and saving Trae Isoball til the end.  Also, the time he allowed Lemon Pepper Sweet Lou to stay on the floor was expertly done.   Nate is playing Chess like a grandmaster!!

Didn't realize "The GAH-DEN" was an ice rink, but Trae had dude ON SKATES!

Actually, no real surprise, because he is ICE TRAE after all!

I thought Greg was fair but the PBP guy was obnoxious.

That was the moment we've been waiting for since we drafted Trae. I've called him out for struggling in big games, but you couldn't have asked for a better playoff debut. 

Shoutout to Bogi for continuing to be a clutch shooting god. Also Sweet Lou saved us from falling out of it. 

[bleachkit]

Lou kept us in the game late 3rd, early 4th when things might have gotten away from us.

[GameTime]

The swagger of a superstar

So around 1970 or so as a kid I absorbed the Knicks pounding us Hawks with Pistol and Lou running the scoring in the playoffs for us. Am actually able to get a breath of fresh air this very moment. Am expecting much more of the same fresh air moving forward.

Sweet Lou made up for Gallo. We should’ve kept him.

[bleachkit]

Need more from Gallo and Hunter. Like to see JC get a few more touches as well.
