Official Playoff Game Thread: Hawks at Celtics -- GAME 5

[terrell]

Unsung hero of the game was Bogi.

Game high +11 and was the steadiest supporting player on both ends of the floor the whole game..

I hope that this was not a one and done for JC.   I hope this raised JC's confidence and the team's confidence in JC. 

JC hasn't had confidence all season.. but if he can play the rest of the playoffs like he did last night, we could win it all.  Wouldn't that mess up some brackets?

Seriously though,  We need that inside threat of JC posting.  Like I have been saying, he is money in the post.   Can't none of these Celtics (except Horford) defend him. 

Come on Big John... time to Baptize some mo folks.

If that’s the case listen to skip and Bill Simmons.  Head explosion material right there for sure.

Skip is the old dancing gigalo at the swingers party who doesn’t have a partner but wants to get with others

Not mine, I’m still alive .. 

The Clippers fcked me. I thought I would get a serious, healthy and motivated Kawhi, I think his career is gonna get cut waaaaayyyy short which stinks, and PG13 is done too. 
 

Hawks aliiiivvvveeee baby!!!

I win this I’m coming to a finals game in Atlanta

Hahaha... and everybody's like "Nah, bro".

And obtw, the guys have it all figured out.  The Seees are gonna win because they know that gives them the weekend off.  It's math?

JC looked very good and useful at times and he looked really bad at times.  I always feel like his box score stats look better than him on the floor -- probably because his threes are always wide open and his bad plays look bambi-on-ice bad

I’m trying to meet all y’all too, or at least whoever goes to games. I’ve never been with a flock of my own kind. 
 

I’ve been with Laker fans… Warriors fans.. Bulls fan (bandwagon) and that’s about it.

I need more Hawk fan friends in my life. Plus it would be nice to see who I’ve been talking to for 20+ years and it better not be iRobot.

Statements like this are infuriating.  Had he passed the ball and Hunter or JC or Bogi miss the 3 he just goes back to being a guy who "you can't win with" and "can't build around".  But he literally puts the team on his shoulders and carries it to a win and he's "selfish?"  WTH?  Complete and utter nonsense.  Ridiculous stupidity.  

He's the Hawks superstar. In an elimination game. Against a better opponent.  Without his backcourt running mate.  He did what was needed to win the F'n game.  Just say thank you and move on. 

I don't understand it man.

Every other teams fans want to ride their stars to wins, but not some of these fans. We just gotta find fault in a WIN like this.  Think heat fans called Butler selfish? Nope. They wanted Butler taking all the shots.

I just don't get it!

These talking heads are twisting themselves into knots to not give Trae credit. They've already  written their narratives, "Hawks want to trade Trae; he is a cancer in the locker room, his teammates hate him; what can AtL get for him? His stock is so low?

This man just carried his team against the title favorites and got the Resslers an extra playoff game. They ain't trading him. 

Also, jaylen Brown didn't defend Trae at all and gave him all that space to get his shot off. The above is what Jay Williams was talking about.

Get that mfer off my screen.

You think Diesel was coming up with trades everyday on his own?  Dieselputer is a cyborg.

Sir, I just burst out laughing in the client's conference room.  Now everybody's looking and wondering what I'm doing on my phone.  Thanks for that.  Geez.

LW3 was early stage AI.  Who could possibly write 82+ game threads like that each year?  He and Sturt are ChatGPT generated content. 

Can you write 10,000 words on why we should believe Hawks ownership wants to keep John Collins?

That was really beautiful. Trae gave us one purely joyous moment in what has felt like a lost season. Love to see sad Boston fans.

It is truly crazy that Trae didn’t shoot a free throw until the last two minutes of the game. He had multiple drives that should’ve earned him free throws. The TNT guys kept complimenting Boston on how they were able to play defense without fouling, which is hilarious. Just because the refs don’t call them doesn’t mean they’re not fouling.
