Game Thread: Knicks @ Hawks -- 1/4

[DirtybirdGA]

The hawks just look like an average team...guys are out, but they took care of the nets Friday.

Refs stunk. I usually don’t go there cuz it’s weak but they were bad but no excuse Hawks need to beat the Knicks at home. Knicks are better but we are or should be ahead of them.

Why is alloy challenging an obvious foul. Ya Collins beat him there but the momentum ran dude down. And that was our last timeout. Comon lloyd there were still a few minutes left.

Also, why was Rondo available but not playing. Goodwin is good but Rondo is Rondo.

Let’s get the next one.

Knicks fan just coming to say how happy I was to see Hunter playing so well. Really liked him coming out and love the player he's growing into.

Hopefully we get to know each other a lot better in the playoffs over the coming years!

Nice win!

I liked Hunter since his first college game. At the time people spoke highly about him but Bagley was suppose to be the guy.
I'm thankful we drafted him. Still growing pains will happy with these young Hawks.

Young team always have issues putting team away. Dang I really wanted Rondo in for a few minutes to set a tone. Oh well learn and move on.

Lloyd too. He’s making some weird mistakes early. He needs to put his foot down. Be like Thibideu, no D no playing time.

I only started watching him in his draft year, but I love my versatile long defenders who can shoot and pass the ball well so I jumped on the bandwagon as soon as I realized who hewas

Growing pains will happen, but he's going to be a good one for a very long time in this league.

Trae needs to also stop with the off the backboard passes to Collins. Do it once, it’s cute, start doing it a bunch of times and committing turnovers then it stinks. Leave that for the all star game. Make winning plays just get the ball in the hole.

Ouch! Back to back loses to supposed East bottom dwellers dampening my optimism...?

OK, there are injuries, and Gallo would have used minutes of Hill, Rondo would have used minutes of Goodwin, but... no, for the second game in a row :
Hill entered at 82-68 for ATL (82-67 but between two FT coming a foul when he was not there) and 4"37 left in the 3rd, then Goodwin entered at 84-71 and 2"53 left, and Quickley gets a 3pts and a dunk, Knox gets two 3pts... and we finish the 3rd quarter at 88-84
Then our main guys are not able to stop this comeback from NYK and let them win it.

Two times in a row the bench guys leave opponent come back, and main players can't stop it in the fourth.
Quickley +17 in 18min
Goodwin -12 in 8min

Bogi with -13 but he was on the floor for 18min only, and with Hill and Goodwin for the 3rd quarter end disaster (so -10 in the 4min disaster and -3 for the other 14min)

New concerns : we don't have the improvement in defense hoped after the Capela trade
