Hawks-Knicks 2026 Playoffs thread

This dumbass Scott Foster really thought Johnson's foot was OG's

Yo Scott foster is the fkn worst

and he has the nerve to talk down to people, telling them to "do their job"

Hawks chucking 3s instead of taking it to the rim.

Jalen Johnson has been invisible

JJ always been limited in the half court but it’s really being exposed in the offs
Somebody already said it earlier. It’s 100% true. He ain’t really got a go to move and he doesn’t consistently put pressure on the rim. That’s why bum ass Hart can guard him

Beating the Hawks is as simple as keeping them out of transition

staggering the KAT/Brunson mins is working, even tho brunson is stinking it up

Any basketball analysis from Carmelo Anthony gets an automatic mute from me

Let's just hope we continue feeding KAT next half

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

OG is a dawg.

If it doesn't work out in NY, I'd love to see him somewhere that uses him as an identity piece. He's the type you build winning culture around.

Scott foster is a dumb fukk

Another Donaghy

If he would attack the rim…breh got hops but would rather pull it out for a double clutch middie

Attack the basket, fukk all these 3’s

nikka shoot the ball

 

[MicIsGod]

Dyson is terrible dude

 

[MicIsGod]

Naw been shytting himself

 

[Unbothered]

The biggest takeaway from the first half was KAT's aggressiveness and Atlanta's cold shooting; they seem to be warming up a little here in the 3rd quarter, but too many turnovers are costing them possessions and cutting into the lead.

I also think the Hawks' cold shooting is because of the high stakes they're in; obviously, securing a 3-1 lead is a big task for such a young team. They're definitely feeling a bit on edge.

Falling for the Alvarado gimmick in 2026
