Cap had a fantastic game.
I look forward to the matchup next round vs Joel Embiid.

Re: Hawks vs Knicks -- Part 5: 2 Fast 2 Furious
I wish i could say this was a good series, but it was just flat out boring. Knicks were just not on the same level as the Hawks. Trae and Bog both still had horrible games in game 5 but the Hawks still dominated the Knicks from start to finish.
If not for a weirdly bad shooting night from Bogs and Galli in game 2, this should have been a 4 game sweep with 3 blowout and dominating wins.
Both the Hawks and Knicks ended the season at .500, but in reality the Hawks are a .620 team, because that is what they are since Coach Nate took over. If Coach Nate had started the season as the Hawk's head coach, the Hawks would have ended up being the #2 seed in the east. So it was an unfair series for the Knicks because they were #4 and basically playing the #2 seed in the first round.
After watching this series i thought of two things. 1- it became clear that De'Andre Hunter > RJ Barrett. So i'm glad the Hawks got a steal in Hunter and didn't end up with a bust like Barrett and Culver. 2- Hawks need to do what they can to get Derrick Rose on the team in 2022! D Rose is a beast and would be a perfect bench guy and back up to Trae!

Win and advance. Winning ugly is still winning.

Game 5, player of the game. this is an easy one...

Solomon 'King of the' Hill
Mad respect to Solomon giving out Man Law to Noel today. What Solomon did to Noel, if the whole team shows the same toughness, competitiveness, and brotherhood in the Sixers' series, I'll be happy how ever it ends.

Really love what solo brings to the team. Small role player but very important. Hope Travis rewards him by bringing him back

Just here to salute Cap'n Planet.
Guy walked it like he talked it by showing up bigtime early and often last night.

this is great, but shouldn't it say, "what SHE said"?
I guess Trae didn't learn how to properly shepardize and cite a source during his one year at Oklahoma.

Rashaad Phillips has been on the Trae Wagon from the jump, so I'll guess he's propping him and not the original 'quoter' of the phrase.
