Ref really said "yo lemme see that, youngblood" in the middle of a FT SMH

Never seen a ref do that before while a guy was shooting critical free throws. There were too many things that happened at key moments during the game to be coincidence. 

Not a good look NBA. Not a good look at all. They need to say or do something PUBLICLY to address this. 

Way to "freeze" the FT shooter refs. What in the world is going on????

Here come the weak a** calls to make it seem like things weren't what we know they were.... 

Exactly. Sports entertainment at its finest.

I mean, the World Champs come into Atlanta in need of a win?  Everyone should have known this would happen if the Hawks threatened to compete for a win.

True, but if they don't want the NBA to look like "wrastlin'", they need to be a lot more subtle than this. This isn't the 2002 Lavers vs Kings Playoff series.

And right on cue, the officials.

They inserted themselves into this game and stopped the Hawks' run. This is a bad look.

Nice job of stopping the run refs. Excellent job. They ruined this game.

It's personal. SMH.

Just box out OO.  Can't outjump people who can also jump.

He's not being very physical down there AND he's also being outhustled. Not good.

OO not offering much rim protection tonight.

The Hawks actually held a team under 30 points in the 1st. Now do that for 3 more quarters.

Do something AJ or you may never see the court again.

I don't want to hear anything about Trae playing hero ball in the 4th anymore. There's a reason he has to put the team on his back in the clutch.

This has to be point shaving.

Hawks low IQ starting to kill them right now.

Smarten up please.  WE got this game if ya'll play smart.

Wow man.

They had several opportunities to take control of this game and blew every single one in maddening fashion.

Stop tipping and grab the rebound!!!!!

BEY!!!!!

Gotta get DJ back in there Quin.

Go to work down there OO!!!!

Late foul call on Patty.

I agree that we have underachieved some.. mainly certain players... but mostly, we've been without our starting PF.   I think our fastbreak is better with JJ on the break and we've been missing that.  His rebounding is missed too. 

 

 

I agree but we were really depending on player development and the only guy that improved so far is JJ. OO doesn't look like a starting center and AJ can't get on the court. Plus, the defense is still porous despite Trae's improvement on that side of the court. I wasn't expecting this team to have to fight to get back to .500 this season.

If you didn't know our record and listened to every stat that they put forth about us... You'd think we were leading the league...

• Trae, first in Clutch points. 
• We're third in steals. 
• We're third in fast breaks. 
• We're second in scoring. 
• We're top 5 in something else.
• Trae 2nd in Assists. 
• Dejounte top 5 in steals.  

Damn... 

This team is underachieving.

Oh heck yes!!!!!
