Bogi should come off the bench the next game at best.

 

I agree.  And start Gallinari.

The defense is much better with him in the game.

Here comes Solo for game 7 if Bogi can't go.

We start Gallo and play the starters 40 minutes. End of the line, nothing to hold out on.

This one sucks.  Needed to hit our freethrows.  Trae showed up. Kev semi showed up. Bogi was injured? Gallo showed up. 

We need all hands on deck for game seven.  

It's confirmed that Trae is a superstar, but he can't do it by himself.  At least need two others to show up for the full game on Sunday. 

Kevin showed up in the first 3 quarters

1 more chance....

We have played 11 games postseason and we have yet to have a complete game. One more shot at it for the ECF guys. 

So much THIS. Just one game, please, that's all I'm asking.

Just like the Pacers series.  Gave game 6 away.  I like our game 7 chances better, but no way to be happy about losing this series if we can’t win in Philly.

The big difference is that team was a veteran elite team with plenty of playoff experience and expected to be competing on that stage; but THIS is a brand new extremely young team without a lick of playoff experience until now and they weren't even supposed to be here yet. This is ALL gravy. 

Not to mention even IF we lose this series, acknowledging the above, we would wind up taking the number 1 seed to 7 games WITHOUT our 2nd best player for the entire series. 

This is all true.  Even Collins is only 23.  Does Schlenk just keep going with the young crew Collins, Reddish, Hunter, etc; or does he try to trade some of those guys for a veteran scorer who can play D?  It seems like the only trade bait we have is Hunter.  Collins is a free agent and I don't think the Hawks want to pay him what he thinks he's worth.

Losing Hunter, Bogi and Cam puts us in such a huge hole.  Wish Philly had to depend on underperforming minimum contract vets for key minutes like we do.

This hurts because so many of our guys are just not performing every game.  I want to see us like we did many times with like 6 or 7 guys in double figures.

[Buzzard]

Collins and Bogdan had bad games. Trae, Huerter, Capela did all they could.

[ATLHawks3]

Hopefully Bogi can go on Sunday. Do nothing but treatment on that knee for the next 48 hours.

Yeah, that's why I said semi.

[Final_quest]

Should have played Trae 42-44 minutes.

Yeah Nate is stubborn like that.

Gallo should definitely get the start.

 

[Lurker]

Winnable game and you really lose it on FTs...

Does feel like it's that Hawks vs Pacers series or that series in 1986. But then again you arguably have the Doc Rivers curse on the other side...

[Vol4ever]

Gonna be difficult to.win game 7 in Philly.  Not that it can't be done but it will be tough.   We really missed an opportunity tonite.   Go Hawks.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Huerter with only 2 points in the 2nd half?   Oof!

[RandomFan]

I'm just gonna say one more thing: if we had Hunter for this series things would already be over. Heck, it might have even been a sweep. No matter what happens the rest of this season, and no I've not given up hope in the slightest for this season, but MAN how bright does our future look? We're gonna be in Finals contention for yearsssssss after this!

He was wiped and it showed in his reminisced effectiveness in the 4th.  He has a very heavy load to carry.

Nothing is guaranteed in sports.  Remember, the Falcons were ahead of schedule in 2016 and haven't come close to a Superbowl appearance since then.   You have to take advantage of when you have the opportunity.
