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

[thecampster]

As soon as one player makes a few shots, defense loosens for everyone else. One more by Gallo and this will open up.

[thecampster]

Ball pressure spends a ton of energy. Miami needs to be getting more out of pressure.

Cooper in street clothes looking good on the bench.

[NBASupes]

Duncan literally need no space.

[Carmine]

Ima really need us to explore other options at the wing apart from Hunter this summer, He's just doing cardio out there.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Hawks 2 - 14 from 3.

Can't beat anybody shooting like that.

[Hawkmoor]

Atlanta is gonna have to run their pick and rolls to help collapse this point of attack defense.

[NBASupes]

We gotta make open looks. I don't know what else to say.

That 1/5 PnR just ain't there without Capela and Trae and JC are off right now.

These are all self inflicted wounds. Hawks need to settle down. This is nothing compared to last season versus the Knicks and 76ers.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Trae 1 - 5

Bogi 0 - 7

Gallo 2 - 6

 

Total   3 - 18

If that group was just 8 - 18, we'd be down by 4 pts or less.

Gallo is the only one to hit 2 consecutive shots, then Nate subs him out, smh.

Everyone else is 0-fer or 1-fer

He needed to go out, he can only play so many minutes.

Could be misquoting, but they ran one pick and roll to Collins.  You have to keep going after it. Okongwu is playing also.  They have to keep trying it.

Plus Huerter 1-3

OK . . desperate measures needed now

 

We either have to Trap .  or Die

 

 

[thecampster]

The playoffs are more physical but I'm uncomfortable with the amount of physical being allowed.

Just not Trae's day so far. 

[Plainview1981]

I understand that Miami is not a dominate team that is full of stars, but they have many shooters and it's going to be tough with the team being hobbled.

Yes, Hunter and some of the others are good shooters, but they don't force the other team to change their game plan or anything. 

[SalvorMallow]

We need to try Dieng and play 5 out. That worked wonders vs the Cavs

[NBASupes]

Gallo is the only.
