Has a coach ever been fired mid playoffs? If not, this may be a first...

He was fouled twice and converted on one of them. Meanwhile KAT and OG got FTs on two phantom calls.

If Mike Brown was smart enough to ride the hot hands the Knicks win that one. Hawks were ready Brunson's heroball and it worked.

CJ continues to be the perfect steadying vet presence for the Hawks.

Step 1. Don't go to it when you have other guys keeping you in the damn game.

Man, Bridges had one of them Tony Snell box scores? Just minutes and a buncha zeros.

-26 in a 1 point game is nasty work.

Absolutely.

Don't forget Kuminga's championship pedigree :lol:

Hawks deserve this series though. They're balling and we're punching below our weight.

Brown and a Charleston shuffle coaching search was certainly not the solution.

Correct me if im wrong but didnt a bunch of coaches declined first before you settled on Brown?

Brunson really needs to play within a team concept at the end of games. His defense is poor as well and the hawks just keep going at him. The coach better make some changes or this team is going to be blown up with himself being a victim.

I mean, there's been enough games that this can't be the thing anymore. These teams are evenly matched.

Wait it’s the coach’s fault when the going gets tough and starter go 1 of 14 from 3?
I suppose Mazzulla was the problem too when Boston lost the other night?

Who wins Game 4?
