From Bankhead to Brooklyn: The Official Hawks vs Nets Thread

[Rekkapryde]

@Rekkapryde must be conflicted

I hate the fact I'm in Europe. I was sleep during the game (6 hours ahead of Eastern Time).

I want JJ to give work, but the Nets still needed to lose which they did. So I win both ways. :coswin:

 

[Rekkapryde]

he'll win it for us or lose it for us, one or thee other

when you goto war you either come out or don't come out at all

Still tripping on how the Hawks almost goofed last night

Game 3 is a must win imo. We win game 3 it's pretty much guarantees a sweep. Nets are goin to be mentally defeated in game 4 if they're down 3-0

I'm expecting 1 out of 2. If they do that, then they can close in ATL.

Yea we definitely gotta shoot & execute better...we haven't been close to the offense we were in the regular season (which happens in the playoffs, but still).

I think the other thing is that even tho were a better team than BK, talent wise it's closer than we might've acknowledged. I ain't gon lie, going into Game 2 I expected a 5-10 point game but I thought we would've blown them out by now. Now I'm not so sure. I think we'll play our best game in BK for some reason

Fun fact: Since moving to ATL, Hawks have never lost a series after being up 2-0

And D-Will, I wish I was surprised but if you're betting your life on that shot we're all betting on a miss.

Hypothetical: If Korver was a free agent this summer how much would he get in the open market I don't think his value to a team can be overstated

We have to find some way to get Millsap some buckets deep in the post. When the jumpers arent falling we give up leads in a hurry. Forget about Pero down there he misses wide open point blank layups.

That nikka would cash out

He played solid defense on twin though...I don't think he even scored when Pero was guarding him

 

[TR7]

I mean, we all know it

Hell, tell Deron his family's lives are on the line and he's still missing that shot.

He'll go somewhere low key in a couple years and have some decent seasons when the pressure is off again, but it's clear he cannot play in a big market with expectations of winning

Game was blacked out in Jersey

It wasn't, it was on MY9 here in Newark

Game was blacked out in Jersey

I'm in Jersey and I watched it , it was on local tv too

Also...Shelvin Mack needs to get his game back. I know he haven't played much this year but we're gonna need dude at some point and right now he looks terrible.
