Did I not say this earlier...foul hard and prevent the shot 

The refs aren't calling flagrant fouls so they may as well hack.

They are literally in the game because of FTs....

We just need to get efficient on offense and this game is for us.

TLC with the good defensive possession on butler 

Spoke too soon.

These refs are going to get one of the Hawks injured.  Again, the stuff Miami is doing is not good physical defense. It's fouling every play.  Then they call double techs on our guys and ignore the shit Miami is doing.

Glad to see we are in this one.

I hated that foul. He needs to wrap Butler up if he's going to foul.

Hawks winning the glass is big.  

Already reached their usual turnover threshold but only down 2, obviously gotta put a cap on that.

Herro hasn’t done sh#t for 6 quarters, Duncan for 2.  Great adjustments by Nate.

Too many three attempts.  Gotta find some drives to the paint with undersized Bam at C

Terrible way to close to half.

When the Hawks were up by 4, Gallo missed a wide open 3 that could've put us up by 7.  Instead, the Hawks get outscored 10 - 4 to close the half and we're down by 2.

Much better effort tonight than Sunday afternoon, especially on defense.

Hawks still just 6 - 22 from 3 point range.

You sound surprised.. Its been that way all year closing out qtrs...

They ignored everything Lowry was doing until Hunter reacted. They ignored all the extra contact by Lowry on Trae AFTER his layup until Trae reacted. Horrific officiating.

It definitely hasn't been that way since the All-Star break.

Double tech on that "scuffle" is so stupid and soft.  It annoys me to no end... then they show the replay and its lowry running up behind hunter in treansition, leaning his body into him to get a reaction and then falling like a goon because he's off balance from baiting a foul.  Lowry should get fined for flopping for that trash

[HawkingAwesome]

what is lowry's deal? 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Beverly gets a hard foul Flagrant 1.

Now they're about to call one on Adams for inadvertently smacking Vanderbilt.  Flagrant 1.

 

It's still 9:10 in the 1st quarter.

[JayBirdHawk]

I like the fight tonight, we are not backing down.

Just gotta hit these WIDE ASS OPEN 3s - Gallo, Bogi, Huerter.

Trae...drive the ball and work in the midrange and take care of the ball.

I'm gonna need OO to hit the glass.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Grizzlies with 5 fouls in the first 3 minutes.  This game is incredible already.

[RandomFan]

Screw this punk beetch. Someone needs to give him some straightenin. 

 

[Diesel]

This is good to see because we are playing well without Clint...  Get Well Soon CLint..  We need you.

Absolutely ridiculous.

It's time to knock the living hell out of Lowry.

[AtLaS]

NBA needs to assign a 4th referee to just watch Lowry off the ball.  Dude would foul out or be ejected within 5 minutes.

The play that led to the double tech. Butler drove baseline. Lowry grabbed Dre's arm and pulled him out of the play. There is no way they didn't see that. That needs to end.
