Official Game Thread: Hawks at Kings

[lethalweapon3]

“Excuse me, Mister Schlenk? I believe you dropped your hat.”

 

Y’all know what time it is.

 

TRADE DEADLINE KARAOKE!

 

First, the particulars.

Hawks and Kings (10 PM Eastern, Fox Sports Southeast and 92.9 FM in ATL, NBC Sports California)

Gallo (knee contusion, questionable) missed most of the fourth quarter on Monday as the Hawks (22-21, 5.0 games ahead of 11th seed in NBA East) finally ran out of gas after letting up off the pedal in the third. Dunn and Cam remain out. Bogi’s back in town, but the Kangz are alright.

Bags, Metu and Ramsey out for playoff-starved Sacto (18-25, 3.5 games behind 10th seed in NBA West), who host GSW tomorrow night and might put some trade bait on bubble wrap tonight. Luke’s starting Baby Boy in a 3-guard starting lineup to stay afloat, and the Kangz have since won 3 of 4. Please, nobody trade Harrison mid-game.

 

Now, somebody please press Play on Trader Trav’s boombox.

You’ve been waitin’ and debatin’ for so many years

Just starvin’ like Marvin to get the heck outta here

I allayed fears that I strayed, kept Coach Pierce on too long

Perish thoughts, it’s why I brought Nate McMillan along

Passin’ up on K-Love, Cavs get no remorse

Emphasizin’, Trae dimin’, settin’ records, of course

I devour, by the hour, trades beyond the pale

Nate Mac killin’, drawin’ plays up with his fat toe nail

Swap for Snells!

 

The King of Flexibility is finally back

Cap space been replaced, still a problem we lack

Wacky Wizards, slick as lizards, wish they had Johnny Bap

I dishonor Kev O’Connor, stupid rumors I slap

Rondo’s kickin’, Dunn is stricken, what more can I say

Don’t misstep, so you’re not left with your Restricteds in play

Nate McMillan out here chillin’, my new right-hand man

We trade for Snells so very well, ‘cause that’s the GM I am

Swap for Snells!

 

Some pundits like my deals, and some just won’t

But I got all the assets that their dream teams don’t

Capela and Snell, Bogi, Gallo, Red Vel,

Sucka GMs wish that they had dudes this swell

Swap for Snells!

 

Trae’s All-Star gold, whether you like it or not

His steady hand’s Dunk Creatin’, while Rondo stirs the pot

They’ll even slip it out to Solo, new Laker villain

What’s my new coach name? “NATE McMILLAN!”

Trade Deadline’s my show, y’know the power I wield

Go and stretch out on my couch, call me Landry Fields

Soon we’ll play Cam and ‘Dre, they’re like penicillin

What’s my new coach name? “NATE McMILLAN!”

Now you know, we gonna roll Gallo and Bogi

Out there for threes and make foes fold

So all you crappy-lookin’, slappy Lotto teams step back

‘Cause there’s a ten-to-one chance I ain’t tradin’ jack

Swap for Snells!

 

…

 

The ball is circulatin’, and my team’s makin’ gains

Don’t give me lip, here’s a tip: “TRADER TRAV’S THE NAME!”

Nate McMillan’s “GOOD!” Ice Trae is “GOOD! GOOD!”

I bring the Brandon Goodwins, you bring the goods

The bigs are pickin’, Collins rippin’ straight to the hole

Why did we can Cool P? “WE LIKE PICK AND ROLL!”

‘Cause these ain’t the gory days with A.S.G.

I’m not a virgin so I know that I’m no A.C. Green

Y’all hate coaching by Pierce, criticism so fierce

Now I ditched him, for the mission. Can I have a few cheers?

Swap for Snells!

 

Now ‘preciate my grind, got GMs in a bind

Got Nate Knight for somethin’ light, made your GM look blind

So all Ujiri-head Raptors wantin’ Hawks that can hoop

Quit your feenin’, what I mean is, don’t get duped-duped-duped

All you conned Moreys, Connellys, when will you learn?

Swingin’ heists like Trader Trav? That’s a rep that you earn

Some Squawkers criticize me, but I’m not concerned

Kris D plays playoff minutes, that is all that I yearn

Trae’s winnin’ and grinnin’, rockin’ MLKs

Would you rather Reggie Jackson? “WE LIKE SKY MAYS!”

That’s right. No need to fight with the Kangz and the Pels

Courtside Karens, they be blarin’, while our whole fanbase yells,

Swap for Snells!

 

 

Let’s Go Hawks!

Here's hoping that while we're in Sactown, we somehow smuggle this guy out with us...

(... dang, I wish we didn't have those Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade emoticons... they're scary.)

 

 

Not seeing how we get it done still, but then, I believe Ocean's 11 was a true story, so there's that.

You have outdone yourself, lol.  Beautiful!

[Spud2nique]

Nice work Lw3, rapper’s delight and an early edition for us to boot. I was unaware the Kings had won 3/4 with a 3 guard lineup. We gotta make them pay with some bigs work from Capela and JC! Hoping it’s 3/5 after tonight for the Kangers.

 

I would have been attending this game regularly if not for covid.  
 

Go Hawks! 
 

ps I had that very Kangol hat.. don’t tell anyone, in baby blue no less, wasn’t trying to match the 80’s Kings throwback I assure you.

That’s his craziest stat. Well that and his Cal Ripken streak. Imagine all the groupies in the 80’s at the forum in Inglewood and he stayed true. Wow. Him and Barry Sanders, hats off!

I'm shocked and relieved.

[JayBirdHawk]

I hope Bogi has  better game in his return to Sac as opposed to when they played in Atl - Bogi was 2-12, 0-5 from 3.

[JayBirdHawk]

 

Skylar Mays time.

We have to win to put some distance between the teams below us.
