The last time SVG called one of our games was when we got demolished by the Cavs.

Man Idk about this game. The hawks aren't very good but 2 things scare me with this team. Trae going super nova and being unstoppable, and the hawks 3 point shooting. If they can keep trae in check and some how protect the 3 point like I think they have a chance to win. But they also have to take care of the little things that always kill this team (limit offensive rebounds, limit fouls, limit turnovers, second chance points, etc). I'll finally be watching a game for the first time in a couple of weeks but I'm nervous for this one. The hawks always play the magic tough for what ever reason. Go magic

I don’t have cable either. I either watch on fanduel or pay HBO Max for the month to get TNT. I’m still figuring out how to watch any ESPN games.

It's very simple to watch the games online if you don't mind Xing out of a few popups and a slight delay compared to live cable

This is coin toss game. I can see us crushing them, but also i can see game where we can't make jumpshots at all.

Hawks are athletic and fast, but also lacks experience.

I’m going to need every player that play tonight to show up. I’m also going to need Paolo to not go 4-20. If you don’t have it, pass it to Franz.

I guess I just don't really feel a whole lot of pressure about tonight knowing worst case scenario there's another home game in the back pocket.
