Hawks need to pick up their ish for this reason alone. Lethal is a patient man but even he has his limits.

 

Yup 

 

 I just saw the 30/30 on the Knicks of the 70 season and I don’t understand why Wilt didn’t guard Willis Reed on the perimeter? Wilt was dominant no doubt but I didn’t really know that. I mean, West sounded peeved in the documentary narrated by Michael Rapps. 

 

YA I KNOW. @kg01 thinks he’s overrated. 

 

Still got the jersey worn 2wice. 

 

The Bosnian  

 

Preach. Watch a Knicks 1970 documentary like Spud and just have your blood boiling for an ATL dynasty!!!

 

You said it. Learn for the playoffs as you win here and there and stay afloat I guess. That’s the name of the game for us this year.

 

Nap up baby! Thanks lw3 @lethalweapon3GO HAWKS!!!

Vegas has Hawks -7.5

2K has Hawks -18

One of the more accurate predictions from 2K.

FFS…. Knicks lead down to 1 with less than 5 mins to go.

I’m kinda surprised Quinn is obviously encouraging the midrange madness.  But when he’s so damn efficient, carry on.

 

Quinn actually drew up the three for OO lol.

Remember that time a train crossing the street and caused 15,000 people to not show up till the 2nd half?

I got caught in that. If I'm not mistaken, Atlanta United was playing on the same day at the same time. I didn't get inside the arena until the start of the 3rd quarter.  We were playing the Bulls.

So not sure why but the quote button hasn't been working for me but responding to Nothscyde, I don't think these are the same rotations. Looking over the game log I count a total of 19 minutes shared between Murray and Trae and can't say for sure but that seems like a lower normal than usual. Some of it may be that Trae was being rested more than usual though.

JJ running the break makes me smile.....

With DJ’s rebounding numbers way down from last season JJ is arguably our best pusher off the glass.  An element the Hawks sorely need more of.

It seems that Quin's answer to our 2 PGs is to alternate their playing time?

Interesting.

 

Nothing new. We've done it all year.

Give @Diesel full credit for tonight's jinx job.  No idea why we do this every night.

Julius Randle!!

I remember fans saying JC was better.. lol

[kg01]

Haha, Nix hit a 3 to go ahead with 1.1 sec left.  Randle prances around the court as if he just won the super bowl.  Smh

[kg01]

Really rooting for this Nix team to falter in the playoffs again.  I don't like any of their faces.

They gave MIA a tough game AND a loss before a back-to-back against a hungry Hawks team.

Just win baby!!!

We can control our own fate by handling our business. We only have ourselves to blame if we don’t take advantage.
