Shaq gave the Hawk some life. They are slowly creeping back into this game.

Orlando had 61 at the half and will still find a way to only score 89 in this game. I swear to god..

KCP's shooting really has fallen off cliff after leaving Nuggets

That would be the weakest flagrant lol

Literal elbow contact to the temple LOL

I don't think you even know where the temple is located. Regardless that wasn't a flagrant.

Shaq isn't one of the officials in this game, is he?

Looking at this Hawks roster, they definitely look like they overperformed this season...there is no way they should be winning close to 40 games with this roster

Banchero mugged tf out of him with that Scarecrow maneuver. Dude stood there with his arms out and forced Trae to drive into his arm!

Jalen Johnson was maybe their best player to start the year. Dude was so good.

Elbow contact to the head isn't a flagrant except when it is, I know. The NBA is nothing if not inconsistent in enforcing rules.

Orlando's offensive sets are so painful. ho-lee

Welp, here comes the Hawks run...

Magic shooting 6-25 from 3. Tough to win shooting like this

Yeah drop coverage on Young is a choice...

jfc refs swallowing tf out of the whistle. Dyson Daniels was fouled twice on that possession.

That wasn’t a flagrant lol get over it already.

3 on the Magic just knocks a guy over in the middle of the court and no foul, amazing.

At least the Hawks got points off of the SECOND foul he committed in the same possession.

Here come the falls...

This game will be 5 1/2 hours with all the whistles, isn't it?

Mk0 · Post #160 » by **Mk0** » Wed Apr 16, 2025 1:16 am

Did KCP regress back into Kid Can't Play? I know he left his jumper in Denver but he is just running through guys now.

Who wins?
