Official Game Thread: Hawks at Knicks -- GAME 5

[bleachkit]

We never hit threes on the road.

Up 5 with awful three point shooting.  Great defense without fouling and minimizing turnovers should help us cruise to a 10 point win yeah it should.

The biggest problem of that half is the Knicks are making their threes while the Hawks aren't. If that continues and Trae doesn't have a better second half, I think you're going to see a game 6. 

The Hawks will end this in the 3rd quarter. The Knicks look beaten. That's why they're already wanting to fight.

Starting backcourt needs to hit some shots

Yupppp

If nothing else for the Knicks, Noel and possibly a few others will definitely foul out of this one. The dirt involved remains to be seen.

[benhillboy]

The biggest travesty with the dust up is that the Knick dancers had to be delayed. They looked decent.

Glad to see Hill got Traes back.

The Hawks are a little nervous.  They need to continue to play hard defense.  Our offensive play has been below average, but we still have a five point (hopefully they review that goaltend and change it to 7) lead.  I'll take it.

The Hawks are doing work in the paint.

[HawkingAwesome]

Hawks playing defense and running the paint winning without the threes am i dreaming? Nah i seen this before 

[bleachkit]

Bogi, wake up. We need you.

[benhillboy]

Kenny legs look like a injured flamingo.

[Dnice]

Collins man up and help out Clint on the glass.

I'm not holding my breath on that. 

[JayBirdHawk]

More plays for Bogi on yhe move and especially Hunter in the 2nd half, stop settling for 3s.

I don’t think that is possible.

Only his long range shooting was a dud.

Ya'll have to pay attention to the totality of Trae's game.

Take away the missed 3s, he was 4 - 10 FG . . 6 - 7 FT . . 14 pts - 6 assists - 2 stls - ZERO turnovers. 

+3 for the game.

 

Not great, but he's controlling the game.

 

 

Draymond Green pretty much said exactly what I said about Trae . . word for word.

Trae is completely controlling the game.

[GameTime]

2 pts by Bogi and we are up 5... not too shabby.

[marco102]

We are playing at an extremely slow pace too which should favor the Knicks, but we still are up 5.

Also, shot out to Kevin. I'm so impressed with his growth.
