Official Playoff Game Thread: Hawks at heat -- GAME 1

[Carmine]

I gotta listen to these TNT announcers butcher names for the next 2 hours....

[NBASupes]

Trae getting well checked

[Dnice]

This is going to be a blowout.

[BrazilianHawk]

No. Hawks will start to hit shots.

You've learned nothing while watching the Hawks, huh?

While you may end up being correct, never judge a Hawks game by the 1st quarter . . . even if we're the ones up by 10 - 15 points.

[NBASupes]

The only think I don't like is our ball movement.

Trae and JC timing is off. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

The biggest silver lining about this quarter is that the Hawks defense has been pretty good so far.

So instead of being down close to 20 points, it's still in single digits with us playing absolutely horrible.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Hawks with 12 FT attempts already in this game.

Which is why I am fine. The offense will come.

[JayBirdHawk]

We've hit 3 shots, this is comical  and still withing striking distance. 

GOOD DEFENSE!

Miami are a bunch of fake ass mfers so far.

Miami is in trouble.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

3 - 17 FG . . . 17 pts in the quarter

Only down by 6 points

 

[thecampster]

Miami should be up 20, but a ton of failed opportunities in transition. Good omen for us.

[NBASupes]

Playoff Trae is legit. All you gotta do is look at our defense.

[SalvorMallow]

No one can be mad being down 6 after shooting 17%. We knew this series would be scrappy. Grind it out Hawks! 

[LucastheThird]

I'll take only being down 6 after that quarter. Let's settle down and play Playoff basketball.
