Hawks play like they want this cup more, I will give them that.
Are you fans of the team or the player?

We barely scored 100 pts against a team that is 19th in the league defensively, we have lost to the Hawks 2x, Pistons, Jazz, Pacers and Bulls. If the talent is good, then of course it's the goddamn coach's fault. How the hell is he not to blame for the awful offensive sets they were running?

Can't disagree about Thibs sets but I don't understand why their D is 19th. They've got long and athletic defenders, they dedended well tonight.

They beat Boston and Cleveland I can see why

Hawks last won as a St Louis team, Eisenhower was president, and they had an all white team

Trae is a horrific defender if you actually target him and get him involved in actions, just like in the playoffs we didn't target him.

JB choked and watched Trae taunt him in his face on the logo.

14pts is unacceptable.

Put a tall defender on him and he cant do anything

KAT plays 20 mins in the first half, Knicks as a team played solid defense = not the reason for solid defensive half

Plays less in 2nd half (16 mins ) in foul trouble = the reason for bad defensive half.

Got it.

Harlan works for TNT and the game is on ESPN so maybe you’ll get your wish.


Okay. That’s good to know.

Do you agree about Harlan? He’s like a caricature of Joe Piscopo’s character.

Edit/Correctuon: Piscopo is better
