OK John!  get your legs back for game 2

[hawkman]

They're letting off the gas. Get a stop and rebound out of this timeout.

I been saying this since Jimmy arrived bro.  We can’t complain about “they’re playing too physically” the whole series.  We’ll you can but I damn sure hope the players don’t.

 

I would LOVE Jimmy Butler on the Hawks.

That's playoff basketball though.

A game like this is also why Lou Williams still has a role on this team.  He's the type of scorer who can pick up the slack if Trae is off.

I'm fine with it if the refs are calling it even. They are slamming into our guys driving to the basket and reaching in slapping arms and chests with no call then we get whistled for touching Jimmy's hands on a pull up. It's BS

LOL . . . Delon Wright is going to finish with a positive ( +/- ) number, isn't he?

He's +2 right now

Collins is +8

Lack of pace and physicality is putting me to sleep.  I'm not much of a complainer when it comes to officiating . How about hitting back and stop being bullied.  If the refs are letting them play then get after it. Quit taking body blows. Will someone step up?

He needs more minutes!!!! 

[Diesel]

It's good seeing JC playing good (Healthy).

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Be decisive De'Andre.

You got the shot.  Take it.

[benhillboy]

Crazy but the game ain’t over.  We need a couple nukes for sure tho.

How did Hunter not steal that ball?

Wow.

[Diesel]

Duncan Robinson is a problem. 

[benhillboy]

Give Delon your dribble Tyler.  Go on.

[Diesel]

Over and Back... No doubt.

[SalvorMallow]

Damn what a performance from Robinson.

He's playing like a pansy. I'm at the point where I think I've seen enough.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Well if you saw the play Nate, why not challenge it?

Now look what happened.  Robinson hits another 3, and TLC fouls him to give up a 4 point play.

 

Stop the indecisiveness.

[Diesel]

Why didn't they watch the replay and give us the ball???  It was clearly over and back... 

BUT

 

Miami complained... and the refs gave them the ball. 

[NBASupes]

Refs been real shit today. 

[h4wkfan]

I hope the heat keep shooting like this today. Get the bs makes out the way now. Tip your cap. Good lord.
