From Bankhead to Brooklyn: The Official Hawks vs Nets Thread

[AVXL]

As bad as Tor has been they are still ten times better then BK. And the fact your squad has had 5 straight games against a team that plays no defense is troubling.

Nah. BK would've beat TOR (who they beat in the playoffs last yr) this yr. just like in boxing styles make fights and BK matches up well with us. They matchup well vs. TOR too. Don't let the record and stats fool you, when BK is engaged they are a competitive team and much more dangerous than people think. True we haven't played great but they've played well too

Both teams have game planned well. You not goin to shut a team Down when they have tape of you and have played them 9 times already. Neither of the last two games I would call "struggle" games by the Hawks.

shyt would be 4-0 if Jeff would burn nikkas,but it's cool,he gotta be more aggressive next series in order for ATL to advance tho.

 

[Born2BKing]

Do you know basketball? Did you watch the game? Just because you brought a team back in the game dont mean nothing,he tried playing hero ball,instead of setting shyt up and getting good shots,he was throwing up dumb shyt,which made them lose the game,what part you don't understand?

Guess I don't know basketball

I am glad TOR is eliminated. They give us so many issues. We match up well v. Washington

 

[The G.O.D II]

stop it

the nets are playing much better than the raps did at all that series vs washington

they are overachieving, but we are also playing down to our competition

we won't have these same problems vs the wizards next round, trust me blood

Like I said in the post above, matchups are everything. Tor just got overwhelmed and demoralized by an elite defensive squad. You brehs struggling against defensive seives like Deron, Jack, and Bogdanovic. You think you can turn it around magically against actual good defenders like Wall, nene, beal, porter, etc? Its not looking like it. If Beal is hitting his shots it will be a close series that fav Wash

Lol, Beal can't drive, Wall can't shoot and your post game is a lot easier to go v. then Lopez for us. I want you bytches and I will be at game 3 or 4 decked out with Hawks gear.

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

I wouldn't say we've struggled scoring on Brooklyn at all. We've struggled stopping them from scoring but they have a lot of streaking players like Jack, Anderson, and ISO Joe

 

[Bledswole]

Guess I don't know basketball

Yea you dont,just because you brought a team back in it,doesn't give you the right to shoot terrible shots with the game on the line,get a good shot by running the offense

fukk outta here, Raptors got shytted on home and away. Nets>Raptors

 

[Stone]

Brooklyn has been every bit as good as Toronto over the last few weeks.

Also, outside of game 3 we haven't really had trouble scoring at all, well at least the starters haven't.

If our bench wakes up Washington'll be out of here in 5

Korver is hardly an elite wing defender. Improved yes but hes not someone Beal would be afraid of. Wall is going to torture Teague on both ends. Was front is not offensively great but they are still big, physical, and great rebounders. And if Milsap is giving Nene trouble Piru can always shift to the four. Only problem I see with them is Wittman, spacing, and lack of perimeter shooting. But BK is a terrible 3 pt shooting team and they shooting 45% the last few games. I like Wash chances.

1st three games you nikkas were barely cracking 100 ppg. I would say thats a struggle against a weak defensive team.

 

[Darealtwo1]

Marquis Teague is too small to really contribute much.

Dude looks like he is about 130 out there, probably 125 after a game.
