“We’ve got our Bogi back, Bogi back, Bogi back, Bogi back, Bogi back, Bogi back, Bogi back. We’ve got our…”

 

Ah, the rare, sweet scent of an Atlanta Hawks game in July! Whodathunkit?

I’ve got precious little to add, as we all know the status and the stakes going in. Only that @sturt nailed it at the outset of this Eastern Conference Finals series, about how well a classic Milwaukee-based TV sitcom theme embodies not the mindset of Game 5’s potentially short-hoofed hosts, the Milwaukee Bucks, but the Believe Atlanta esprit de corps among our high-flying, death-defying Hawks.

Let’s all get to hopscotching… and singing!

One! Two! Three! Four!

Five! Six! Seven-Eight!

Schlenk! Schkoonin! Tony Ress Incorporated!

 

We're gonna make it!

Give us any chance, we'll take it!
Read us any rule, we'll break it!
We're gonna make our dreams come true…

Doing it our way!

Nothing’s gonna turn us back now!
Straight ahead, and on the track now!
We're gonna make our dreams come true…

Doing it our way!

There is nothing we won't try.
Never heard the word, “impossible!”
This time, there's NO stopping us!

We're gonna make it!

On your mark, get set, and go now!
Got a dream, and we just know now,
We're gonna make our dreams come true…
 

And we'll do it our way, yes, our way,

Make all our dreams come true!
And we'll do it our way, yes, our way,
Make all our dreams… come true…

For me and you!

(and Lenny and Squiggy, too!)

 

Let’s Go Hawks!

Unlike the Bravos against the Mets last night...

I shouldn't be so presumptuous about Bogi, but he's listed as probable, while Trae and Clint Seesgood remain questionable.

Everybody please take a big dump for good luck. @Spud2nique this shouldn't be a problem for you with all the double, triple and quadruple stacks you been masticating.

I feel disrespeckted.  That game 2 onslaught was waay over the top.  Know what, I ain't gon' even trip.  I'mma just put together the goodie mob and declare it bux season.  Who wit it?

@lethalweapon3 and @HawkItus don't gotta get ready, they stay ready ...

@LucastheThird, @Atlantaholic and @ATLHawks3 got their billyclubs through customs ... somehow ...

@Spud2nique and @Gray Mule comin' foh ya, Middly ..

@bird_dirt, @AHF, @hawkman, @turnermx, @capstone21 put on matching tiddy's and baseball bats? ...

@JayBirdHawk, @RandomFan, @Final_quest, @bleachkit and @LongTimeFan stop walkin' so slow, you gonna missit ...

whoa, whoa clearly .. @lethalweapon3 is using the chaos to let @hylndr11 know how he feels about callin' his post short ...

Your bad, hylndie, you got caught on the wrong side of the mob that time.

C' mon!  Get it!  Give it to 'em @Thomas ..

And, greetings again from the future, the entire city of Milwaukee was leveled by a supernova event ... wearing #11 ...

Let's get it Hawks!

I'm willing to put up with Tony Bothers (not misspelled at all) tonight if the Powers That Be will pinky-swear not to give us some unsightly Pu Pu Platter of Brothers, Marc Davis & Scott Foster in Game 6.

I legit hate Cark (Mark with a 'c') Davis.

I just moved @RandomFan's helpful NBA.com pregame breakdown by John Schuhmann from earlier today over here, so it only looks like Rando authored the thread.

Like last night's dragged-out ref-fest, every game he's in, he has to leave his Cark.

After tossing Back-bumper Rondo in 2012, it's been meddling misery ever since.

Oh shish ... the whole A rode up to 'Sconsin ...

@Sothron show'n up with them Columbus boys ...

Wait, @marco102, is that the literal kiss of death ..

Bro, issa basketball gam.. wait @Wurider05 are you hoo-ridin' on these foo's with an actual pitchfork?

Ok, I think this last group is gettin' outta hand ...

... whoa @GameTime and @benhillboy where'd you get the bottles!?

Milwaukee, better run while you still can ...

Ah shish, too late ...

[Sothron]

We got this. With or without Trae we got this. We take their heart tonight and finish off the body in the A to get to the Finals.

Great game thread as usual lw3! Thanks, I did need Laverne and Shirley’s theme in my head for the rest of the day, it’s really all that was missing. 

Nothing else to say, but go gettem!

Game 5’s are pivotal indeed, it’s been such a whacky year though who knows, throw all the numbers out the window tonight and just scratch and claw, I don’t run marathons I’m too busy.. apparently pooping  but I assume this is around the time to start giving it your all, everyone is injured in one way or another, win!

GO HAWKS!

haha same, but with giannis out and now capela playing, i feel like Mr. Brothers is going to be whistling us for touch fouls the whole first quarter.  I want to be wrong!
