Official Game Thread: Hawks at Grizzlies

The Hawks need to end this one early with Morant out. The Grizz already look frustrated.

His efficiency has been pretty insane lately....

[hawkman]

Easy on the refs Trae. They want to eject you. Don't give them a reason.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Way to contest that layup Kevin.  Hawks were rewarded by him not giving up on the play.

 

[Carmine]

This female ref so late on the calls. Terrible

[Dnice]

Hot mic " are you on the payroll?"

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Now that's how you close!

From now on, that's how you close!!

 

[terrell]

Every player on the scoreboard except Lou...

Grizzlies TV saying that Morant will not return tonight.

Now they need to stretch this lead out to +20 and end this in the 3rd.

Good first half. 

Control ORebs, TOs, and keep up the defense in the 2nd half.

They're not a "give up" type of team.  They're going to fight you hard.

Only chance they have is to really lock in defensively. They have the ability to score points in a hurry, but that's normally fueled by Ja pushing the ball up the floor and creating easy shots for himself or for jumpshooters.

Hawks have a chance to kill this game in the first 5 minutes of the 3rd, if they stay locked in defensively.

Nice use of the midrange jumper! They never see it coming!

[terrell]

Trae trying to get that 207 million isnt he?

Hes playing like an ALL NBA player right now...

 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Needless to say, this is the best this team has looked all year. 

They really came out with the knockout blow in these first 3 minutes of the game.  Just outstanding.

It makes him even more deadly adding that midrange to the rest of his offensive repertoire.

Trae'a a 5 level scorer, lol. Drive at the rim, the floater, the middy, the 30 foot 3 and logo 3. 

Edit: might as wellmadd 6 levels with his ability to draw fouls too.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Oh my goodness!!

Memphis just isn't playing hard

FedEx Forum is dead silent.
