It felt like the C's didn't play all that great for the most part, and the hawks are shooting 43% from three, and Tatum can't buy a jumper, yet the c's are up 8. So unless the Hawks just go supernova shooting the ball like game 3 I feel pretty good about this one.

Also Jaylen finished last game 11-15 after starting 1-7, and he's started this game 10-13 which means he's on a 21/28 from the field stretch.

Didn't see his teammates running out for a pass either. Nobody cares about this game. Not even the Hawks.

Brogdon and Brown want to end this series. Smart and Tatum aren't as concerned. Rob needs to do better closing down shooters.

Brogs was looking rough on defense to start the season but he has been fantastic since the break

His body language has been so casual tonight. Drives me crazy about him. There was one play where the ball was inbounded to him and he just plays with it and dribbles behind his back for no reason.

Over analyzed? Yes but he so **** annoying so far

This should have been been a sweep but Hawks had random shooting night from the others. They need to end this tonight and not let that happen again.

I just don't get Tatum. He obviously could get 5-10 FT's a game of he wants. He's not going to see a worse defense than this again.

They don't kick our butts in rebounding but they seem to always get the ones that we should get. If we got them we'd be dominating them on the glass. They are quicker to react than we are, it's like a team full of Robs with how quickly they beat us to the punch for offensive boards!

My take home from the first half is Hauser is Defensive beast.

We only have 2 TOs at the half and only up 8? If I hadnt seen it with my own eyes I wouldnt believe it

Huge shoutout to Big Al for his effort and defense in the first half. Big Al has heart!

Hey Zoya, "random" stat of the half:
2 turnovers by the Cs, both by JB! :lol:

Ehh Smart was a mix of his highs and lows. Good finished, but some headscratchers and no energizing plays
