TBF, I do believe that the late CLP was the one who hired Nate McDawg. 

Read somewhere that he had total control of who he hired for his staff, and Travis never even met Nate the Great until after the fact .

Best thing Lloyd ever did for this team.

I didn’t know that.  Glad he did, that seems pretty rare to allow a coach that young to do so but Travis is a youngin too relative to the traditional GM.

I just gotta say, the power of those MLK jerseys are so great that the team even won on a nationally televised game on a major network. That never happens!

Yup. Seriously we’ve never won much on TNT/ESPN games let alone ABC. Feels good to have a generational player like Trae on our side for once.

Gallo with 21 points on 9 shots. Insane efficiency to go with tough, physical defense. I hope he stays locked in like this for the rest of the playoffs!

Jeff Van Gundy mentions Charlie Ward like once every other game he announces.

I have seen Hawks team bend knees on the past to this bully attitude on the court. 
 

Now you see the youngest team since many years perform like vets and fight with toughness, that is so difficult to see, kudos to Nate for that. 
 

Hunter today really played bad but Gallo, Capela, Collins and Trae could not be contained by Knicks. Difference in talent is so great that I think it would be a great disaster to lose the series, I want to win 4-1 and close it on MSG.

GG, On the next one but.....

Every time this team wins, Nate McDawg price tag keeps going up.  This team needs to keep him right here.

LP is on NBATV.  Leave that man alone and out of celebrations.  Are we going to talk about LP if we win a championship?  He's been nothing but cordial regarding the Hawks.  He did train up our young guys and at the end couldn't relate.  

Also, the below is what excites me the most.

 

If we won the championship this year it would 100% be part of the narrative. That’s a ridiculous statement seeing as how they’ve already talked about the coaching change during every game on national television this series. What are you thinking.

[benhillboy]

Another sparkling game from John and Clint on Randle.  I think the war wounds are gonna energize John even more.

Exactly. I fully expected the fix to be in today, especially on ABC. That's where the big boys play, like WCW used to be...

I can’t really tell when Dre plays bad.  His movement and positioning on both ends are so good I don’t sweat his shooting too tough.  He defends anyone on any play, sometimes two and three dudes.

LeBrons head is still near the rim.  I’m with @Diesel now that man gotta be juicing.

What's Kevin's middle name?

I gotta start referring by his full name like all the other serial killers.

“Authorities escorted serial killer Kevin Joseph Huerter into the courtroom, his face showing no signs of remorse for his atrocities.”

Look at guys who have come into the league after him and are already breaking down athletically. Dude is a juicing freak and the NBA doesn't care.

I was just thinking he could be the next Lance Armstrong or Bonds.  It’s not natural.

"Kevin Joseph Heurter was last seen with what authorities think is a human leg from a 7ft black male.  He also had a weird ponytail that was apparently torn off during a fit of rage.  More with the news update at 11."
