I notice the theme of "physical Playoff basketball" is always used to excuse the cheap shots against the Hawks. That happened a lot last season against the Knicks and 76ers and it's happening now. Of course I would like to see more toughness from the Hawks, but a foul is a foul and these cheap shots are clear flagrant fouls. I miss Solo.

We got abused by all three teams last year.

OK Lil Jon, you're up

 

 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Kevin has to take that shot.

Lol 90% of yall be overreacting in game threads. You want to know whats wrong with the Hawks? A Physical game in Cleveland and a 1 pm start time. 

We just need to take 1 out of 2. Miami is going to be allowed to foul twice on each player on each possession.

I expected a lot more out of Okongwu.

He needs to match the Heat's physicality and start getting some of those offensive boards.

 

Doe Nate opt to start Collins in the 2nd half, so that Okongwu can go back to his more comfortable role of coming off the bench?

What were you expecting from OO? Hes JAG..A Situational Big... Nothing special... People get so hung on certain players just because we drafted them...

He's no jag. We need to keep it real. We missing a lot of shots we normally make. We look like we are coming off of a back to back. 

[hawkman]

Playing weak and scared now. Too much time left to hang their heads.

Everyone except Gallo is passing up open shots. We need a second option for when Trae doesn't have it. 

[Diesel]

We really miss Clint.

 

[LucastheThird]

The team looks too tired today. Nobody is really trying besides Gallo. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

OK?

Oh no . . .

 

-5

 

 

We need something quicker.  More urgency.

And that is exactly what is happening. On the other end the refs are calling any contact against Atlanta. It is a joke.

So no need to overreact to this game.

2nd most important player like Ive been saying..

[NBASupes]

I am with those who say the Hawks should just sit everyone in the 4th and move on to game 2. We got dead legs

[Diesel]

Gallo is taking the inside shot.  Everybody else is passing to the outside instead of taking theinside shot.  Force these guys to either stop us or foul us...  When you pass it out... it's letting them off the hook.
