My one wish is seeing prime Rock and Stone Cold attempting to oversell Marcus Smart

Hawks need to carry this over to Game 2.

Even if we lose, we came back from 34 down...  It took Boston to have an outstanding outside shooting game and for us to have a terrible half.   I feel good.

F&@kin Al man.

[dalamchops]

honestly don't really look too overmatched, we have to hit the clean looks. It'd be a lot closer if we had hit 3-4 more 3s. not even asking for a lot , but 30% in 3s we'd be in this game.

TRae back in? Why?

You “feel good” about being down 32?  You should’ve kept that one to yourself Deez.

[Diesel]

We're seeing how Boston plays against us when Trae is off ball. 

It's a good thing.

Dre... Geez

I feel good about winning the 2nd half after being down 32. 

[terrell]

Dre on a fast break is comedy..

Many fairweather fans have already left Ben Hill.   But it's the real ones who can still support in bad circumstances.   If we had won both qtrs against their scrubs, I wouldn't feel good... but they have keep their starters in...  I feel good about what I have seen.

Murray is doing too much. Move the ball.

No it’s not happening. Your stats failed you.

Much better effort in the 2nd half.  At least Quin has something to work with.

But I think the adjustment needs to be to limit Capela in this series.  We need more shooting and speed in the game.

[Spud2nique]

Marcus Smart is a bum actor. Refs should eject him for faking flagrant fouls.

[MaceCase]

Saw enough adjustment in the 2nd half, on to game 2.

It might not be for OO...  OO didn't do doody... in this game.
