Official Game Thread: Hawks at Knicks -- GAME 1

[RedDawg#8]

Good win. No GREAT WIN. Tough game and we weathered the storm. That crowd was nutz. I was getting a migraine trying to watch.

So glad Trae was able to make that shot. It was too perfect.

Love you guys

On to the next one.

Got the road win we needed. Hawks in 6. 

 

6?

This might be over in 4.

 

To me, this is the same situation Miami put Indiana in last season in the bubble.  Indy had their shot in Game 1, but blew it in the 4th quarter.  And while they were competitive in the next 3 games, it was clear that Miami was the better team.

I think this same scenario plays out in this series.

 

If it goes 6, the Knicks must win Game 2.

If they don't, we'll have a very good Memorial Day, celebrating a Hawks series win.

Nice steal in MSG. I would LOVE for us to be up 2-0 when I’m at the game here Friday

Both are doing really well. 

 

The time to stop complaining about that trade has come. I hereby pledge my fidelity to Mr. Icetrae Young. 

Good on you.

NBA is not going to let that happen.

I think he was referring to old man Spike Lee? I wouldn't be clowning on Thibs who has been coaching his ass off. 

My bad right there but will say I have nothing against Spike because he is one of the ultimate homers. He just pulls for the wrong cats.

OMG,  I've finally calmed down. What an effin win.

1-0 Baby.

Hawks Playoff basketball is baaaaack!

Trae Young - The Man, The Viper, and The Prosecution aka The MVP aka Ice Trae - I am so happy for the young man.

[terrell]

And some fans wanted to take Lou Will out of the rotation.......lol. He showed up tonight......

[Dnice]

Lou repping the A, in post game.

Great game just like the regular season. Trae showed up big time in a first playoff game. Bogdanovick showed up. Capela kept them honest on the boards. Sweet Lou off the bench in the 2nd half was huge also.

Bogi woke up after he got posterized.  I think he made 4 of his next 6 threes.

[bleachkit]

Even despite the rough start. Bogi ended up with 18 pts, 7-15, 4-9 from three,

Like my crow with cabernet myself. Actually love it that way, especially if the Hawks win.

Shock the world Boyz! Eff them sleepy TNT/ESBN zombies and sleeping biased national talking heads

[RedDawg#8]

Trae is becoming the Zeke of this generation. Little man with a big game, nerves of steel, and haters everywhere.

Lead your team Trae. The outside may never love you the way you deserve, but you can break all of their hearts on the court and there's nothing they can do about it.

Holy shit. As said a few times before. Trae is NBA history in the making just about every damn game.

 

He's a generational talent, and he's been playing like that for 2.5 seasons now.  A combination of Isiah Thomas and Allen Iverson.
