Hawks secure #7 Seed vs C's

[JayBirdHawk]

I think Quin is our secret weapon.

He can add wrinkles to our offense and defense that the C's would not have scouted. He can spend more time game planning for just the one team.

How will Quin defend the barage of 3 pointers the C's take.

We need a big game from JC. Abuse Sam Hauser and don't fall asleep when they run him through 100 screens

I dislike Boston since 85. Greatly. Wont be easy but we can definitely pull it off. Rebound the ball like tonight and we got a chance for sure.

Whats that Ivan?… ya I know.

It would help if Trae hits more than 1, Bogi hits more than 2, and Bey hits more than 3.  Those 3 were 6-25 tonight and a lot of those were wide open, good shots.  Just got to MAKE them.

Of course but thats a need against Tatum and eventually Brown when he's back.

Is Brown officially out?

No.  He's been cleared for Game 1 with no minutes restriction I believe.

NOTHING EASY!!!

The Celtics bully us with their barrage of shooting big men. Grant Williams seems to get the lucky bounce against us on all loose balls and rebounds. 

Like the game against Miami we have to be the bully to them and just be physical AF right out of the gate. 

There will be one guy that goes off.. could be Brown, could be Tatum, could be Pritchard. But we have to handle them the same way we did the Heat and Kyle Lowry.

For whatever reason Quin had the guys fired up to be extra quick, aggressive and to transition fast and to get the ball moving around fast. Whenever Trae held the ball and drove into traffic that's when the Heat could collapse on him. If we go fast early against the C's we have a great chance in this series.

Anything can happen and injuries can and do happen which changes dynamics of 7 game series all the time.

It wasn't a serious injury. I'm not sure why some expected him to be out.

We beat Miami because we out-hustled them, bullied them on the glass, and had the superior bench. Clint was so damn good this game.

Rebounds - 63 to 39

Offensive Boards - 22 to 6 !!!

Blocks - 8 to 4

Bench - 53 to 37 (33 was Lowry alone)

If we can replicate that against Boston, we have a real shot at the upset. Our biggest challenge is going to be closing out on shooters and not letting them get good looks. And have to HAVE TO limit their second chance looks.

5 stitches in his shooting hand and to see it wrapped like that…yikes. I’m sure he’ll play, but this will likely impact his shooting until fully healed. I mean, look how much a finger injury impacted JC…

@bleachkit looks pretty serious to me when it's your shooting hand.

I don't know where to post this so I'm going to rant here.  Listening to nbaradio on SiriusXM today.  Brian Scalabrine was straight up slandering Trae.  What is it with these media guys and their agenda to make him seem like his teammates and the front office hate that he's here.  They even suggested a Ben Simmons for Trae Young trade. Like WTF!?!

Also said the Hawks don't have a shot against the C's which isn't surprising.

I'm about to cancel my subscription.  These guys and their agendas.

I see Looka on first team all nba ballots, but was told it was all about winning when Trae was putting up 29 and 9 on great efficiency.  The double standards are wild around here. 

@kg01 did you listen today?
