Great defense by the Hawks out of the TO.

Trae is a straight STUD!

A non-sellout is worrisome but Atlanta still isn’t a basketball town and the Hawks aren’t considered a contender.  Now the Nets not selling out is embarrassing.

Atlanta is a top tv market.  More athletes in every sport live in Atlanta (NFL, NBA, MLB).  Most of your entertainers now live in Atlanta.  Hollywood is in Atlanta now.  The market is kept artificially low by the NBA and the networks purposely not promoting the Hawks.  Notice how they kept shipping Lebron James around to different markets to promote them (Cleveland, Miami, Los Angeles).

3OGI FOTHREEEEEE

Rose lost his cooling powers, we bout to break this open!

[benhillboy]

Bruh.  Trae can’t play any better than he is now.  Hell nobody can.  These probes and passes are some twilight zone shit.

Gallo locking Randle up. 

And Capela is setting up to draw a charge every time he drives.

 

Great shot by Hunter.

Team is rolling right now.  

 

Let it fly Trae.

[MarylandHawk]

Hell yes!!!

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Should've let it fly Trae.  Nothing to lose right there.

 

OK . . up by 14.   And it looks like we have the defensive formula to slow down Rose.

No comebacks this time guys.   Keep that lead in double digits.

[BrazilianHawk]

Trae was a little selfish this last play, but he had a sound first half. 

NOW LET'S FINISH THEM IN THE 3rd! 

[Cwell]

If Rose starts to run out of gas even a little bit NY is done. Just hit your open shots. Randle and Barrett have been super cheeks all series. Can't keep letting the littler guys kill us

You can't let a team escape when their two best players have been booty butt cheeks all series

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Trae with 14 pts - 10 asst already.  And ZERO turnovers.

Brilliant game by the floor general so far.

[marco102]

Role players play better at home.  Nate changed up the rotation.  Good half so far, but we have to finish!!!

I know right.  Chances are it would’ve dropped.

No comebacks this time, NATE.

Playoff Trae is a whole different animal. Beautiful floor game from him tonight 

[Final_quest]

That is how I feel like we should be playing all the time.  The Knicks can’t keep up with this.

[benhillboy]

A 22-5 run is more representative of whats supposed to be happening in this series.  Their offense is built on struggle, ours on explosion.  RJ Barrett is so bad it’s upsetting me and I don’t give a damn about the Knicks.
