Official PLAY-IN Game Thread: Hawks at Cavaliers

[NineOhTheRino]

Considering the roller coaster season...I love the outcome.  The Miami 1-8 matchup is a great one for the Hawks.

I think Giannis' was much worst by looks.  You actually saw his hyperextend.  I thought he was done.

 

Bogi's looked worse too..

This team would win a NBA title with Rudy Gobert.

What Trae did to Chris Levert's knees was criminal.  The slander after the fact should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

That little hop by Levert, after he got done with his Deion Sanders-esque backpeddle'n, was just ..... well, atleast he tried?

I'd love to see Lauri Markkanen's face when he realizes the stats for this game don't officially count.  Haha, he had the game of his life and no one'll ever know.

Aye, did anybody see Lady Gaga or the Weeknd performing at halftime of that 1st quarter?

Cavs fans out there acting like they won several super bowls in the first 12 minutes.  Guess they figured the cavs would keep shooting 90% from 3 all game?

Oh and the Holman was on one tonite.  He was giving it to everybody.

Said the one ref who called that phantom foul on Okongwu that was later overturned via challenge, is the "worst ref in basketball".  Said he has no business in the playoffs.

You guys should check out realgm. There's the amount of haters and trolls you would expect but now there's non Hawks fans actually giving Trae and the Hawks some credit.

Eventually everyone else is gonna learn what a lot of us already know: that Gobert is a liability in the playoffs that gets taken advantage of in drop coverage. And combined with the max salary he makes which means our team would have even less money for depth, no thank you. 

Utah is getting bounced out in the 1st round once again this year; and I'm fairly confident they will give up a ridiculous amount of points per game in the process, once Luka is back in the lineup.

What stuck out to me was the fact that the Hawks had 15 assists???. They can NOT start playing ISO ball with the Heat. ....if they do, they will lose. Too much standing around and not enough off ball movement.
