Tatum had 16/7/4 in the first half, and 14/7/3 in the second half.

That’s the definition of showing up for more than one quarter lol.

Tatum or Brown, Brown or Tatum for VC. Smart as a solid third.

I thought the bigs stunk for most of the game, but AL did just enough late to redeem himself.

Dude was passive for a lot of stretches, took those stupid threes and had bad defensive plays as well. Just not the consistent effort from your best player

The Hawks will be much better next year, with an offseason and training camp under Snyder, whose an awesome coach.

JB easily. Dude was an animal. In the end when we made our run dude locked up Collins in the post when Al got the jump ball and he had a savage block on Murray. At 110-113 he hits a bomb of a three to tie it up.

Tatum closed this out he gets CP. Smart was also great. Mazzula still sucks, though I give him credit for using Grant today.

Time to send the MVP home.

Also Jaylen's slash line for this series is hilarious. 54.1/51.5/57.9. the rare 50-50-50

Honestly, a trash series and I feel worse about the team coming out than I did going in. But may not be relevant in the larger scheme of things.

Gave it to the J’s and the least respected Celtic. Mahcussssss Smahhhht!!!! Huge plays in the end, Ice in his veins! Props to ATL for putting up a heck of a fight. Hawks couldn’t miss, even when the defense was locked in….. bring on the process!

He was passive because he was getting trapped? He shot 40% from three tonight? And other than one slip up against Murray, was their best defensive player tonight lol.

I didn’t bother defending him after last game, because he was ass. But he was awesome all night tonight, when he wasn’t scoring, he was getting guys wide open looks.

Like everyone I'm just glad they won. Atlanta is way better than I thought or maybe Boston is still having the same issues who knows but it's always good to advance.

It's going to be even harder with Philly. They're a better team team and we will see if Boston can get past them

After game 3 he just got infinitely more comfortable looking.

Agreed... this team is still very fragile at its core. Not comfortable with this against any of the upcoming competition

It might actually be a good thing. Sure they played trash more often than not, but it might just focus them vs better opponents

Who smokes the big cigar?
