Official Game Thread: Hawks at Knicks

[Guest]

Only seven turnovers for the game.

DJM is shooting 40.4% from 3 this season.

As much as you give Credit to DJM...

Give Nate his flowers!!!

Pretty huge road win. Won't be surprised if we see more of the zone from here on out. We may not have length but we have a lot of quick players that can cover ground in a hurray so maybe it's a look that will allow us to force some turnovers lock down the paint.

I watched intently as DJM covered passing lanes and scared the Knicks guards. I also think we got mind control over Randle!

Yes, Going Zone in the 2nd quarter was the key and the increase offensive pace. They were just playing and being aggressive.

JC and OO controlled the boards in the 3rd...  We looked like the Raptors out there... getting steals and limiting the Knicks to 1 shot.

Great Job everybody. 

And AHOLI is a pitbull too!

Against a better 3pt shooting team it may have it's issues, but Murray playing centerfield in that zone created havoc in passing lanes.

Had no idea Dre had 21

Played some great defense too. Unfortunately that was lost with Murray absolutely taking over on both ends lol.

Kudos to Nate on the zone call. Wouldn't of worked nearly as well without DJM anchoring it.

I hope it’s because he’s not 100% health wise 

He took awhile to get going last year as well 

[dalamchops]

[terrell]
