The Hawks Spread Their Wings in the Garden...Pause: New York Knicks vs. Atlanta Hawks Series Thread

[PoorAndDangerous]

How is Randle supposed to do anything though without any teammates to hurt the hawks for triple teaming him? Noel and Taj can’t score. Barrett can’t score. Quick hasnt been getting much run and hasn’t hit threes like he was. Obi has done nothing. You can focus your entire defense on Randle and Rose. Bullock can’t hit enough threes to win then the game.

Not the greatest half but we got hot at just the right time, now we just need to keep our foot on their necks.

Trae is the truth, I was worried he might get exposed in the playoffs but he’s been a dawg so far

Uncle Cliff look like Uncle Chester.

He gets double teamed or triple teamed in the post. Capela is a great rim protector. Refs aren’t calling any fouls for Randle. I don’t think he has any clue what to do, he can pass and Bullock will hit the occasional three but literally no one else is scoring other than Rose occasionally.

He needs to back down whoever is guarding him down. If he's getting triple teamed someone should be open
Plus he can get the opposing player guarding him in foul trouble

fukk that soft fadeaway jumper shyt from a PF/C

It’s the first round. He could easily be exposed next round vs Philly if hawks win

He has been passing, and they don’t score other than bullock. He passed to Barrett and he gets a shot clock violation. They have not been calling fouls when I’ve seen him drive, like the one drive he gets fouled, misses the shot, gets the offensive rebound, shot faked, goes up with it and gets fouled again and nothing called. Meanwhile they have no one who can guard Trae and they have plenty of 3 shooters and Trae is a fantastic passer.

Julius getting stage fright in front of fans like @CanadianStop can't perform with anyone else but himself in the bedroom.

Glad JC finally decided to show up

Props to Coach for getting him a run to the basket on his first attempt

 

[Georgiamuscle]

JC showed up so far today. A lot of it has to do with him not being in early foul trouble and also not being a bytch

But wait... The Coli Basketball Experts told me that Trae Young was nothing more than a "no impact" front running stat padder who couldn't drive winning how can it be that he's been the best player on the floor through 2.5 games in his first ever playoff series against a higher seed ... What is going on
