Overturned of course, this was a horrible call. But not sure using a challenge here was a good idea the Hawks still have possession.

They have to come out in the 3rd with a purpose. They can not have one of there typical horrible 3rd quarters. Foot on throats.

Paolo and Franz owe us a better second half. Coach really need to remind them not to play around in the 3rd quarter and we need both Polo and Franz to step up.

As good of half as you can ask for Orlando & about as bad of half as Atlanta could play. The secondaries are showing up tonight.
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

Doesn't matter tonight but I've noticed Franz' +/- has fallen off a cliff lately while Paolo's has gone up. Is this a thing?

I give them both credit for involving everyone and not taking all the shots to get themselves out of a slump.

NGL momentum went out with Wendell injury. Franz and Paolo are having trouble probing inside because they're just loading up
