Because they did?

Another win without Patty C having to hit the floor. Although admittedly he may have just given us more than what GTJ and Prince did today.

Atlanta played worse. The Bucks did in game 7 v. the Nets when the Bucks won the chip. The Nets just played even worse. Most players get tighter in those situations. Dame gets looser. We have that going for us. Plus Khris, Giannis, & Brook have done it.

We started 2-8 and have gone 12-3 since. Basically a 66 win pace over a full season.

Really good turnaround.

We only shot 66% from the line, and yet somehow our opponents were worse!

How about play some defense, don't shoot 8-21, and get some assists?

Nah the voluntary obtuseness can buzz off, guys clearly care about 500k for dozens of reasons. We have championship experience my man. Hawks are also playing excellent so the Hawks thing doesn't help your case

We didn't turn the ball over much (apart from some infuriating plays at the end), we out rebounded, Giannis hit clutch FTs, we defended well, Dame made some clutch plays on both ends, Brook was good in a game against a more traditional C. All this and we shot poorly from three, and a number of our players were off their games.

Why Atlanta didn't attack basket more when were in foul trouble most of the last quarter I don't know, but I appreciate their desire to go for the hero contested threes instead. Massive credit to our D.

There is no having it both ways. The Hawks are a mediocre team at best. The end of game stupidity has been a problem for a while now. We aren’t good enough to overcome that against the better teams. Then again, I’d say we aren’t good enough full stop.

To hold Atlanta to 102 despite the refs gifting Tre free throws all game is so impressive.

Hawks are solid when healthy, which they are. Jalen Johnson is a budding star.

But that's exactly what we did. Won a big game down the stretch. Despite all that we won by 8. Could have easily been 20.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

That turnaround from Giannis was a Hall of Fame play. They had him boxed in & still made it it a key time.

Pleased w/ how they played. Would have been +15/20 w/out the officiating. I feel like the younger role guys stepped up, & the vets didn't. So maybe trust them more now. We're taking valuable lessons for the playoffs.

They can't win a series. Guess we can just shut it down for the year.

Also, that may have been a narrative-altering block by Giannis tonight...
