Around the league:

Cleveland in a dogfight in Orlando . . . currently down by 1.

Charlotte hanging with Miami, but now find themselves down by 7.

Jimmy, PJ, and Vincent back Charlotte can go on and hang that up.

Poor poor effort by the 2nd unit defensively.  But they miss Gallo's 6-10 length.

Jalen may not play in the 2nd half, if he doesn't fight hard enough to get rebounds.

 

All of Toronto's bigs can move and they're active.  Opponents have no choice but to match their energy.  If they don't, you will get outplayed.

 

Bring some order back to the game Trae.

Yep. And need OO to grab some boards, outhustled by Toronto.

[bleachkit]

come on Hawks, let's get this second half

RE: rebounding -  did bogi box anyone out in the first half? Total team effort there.

This is one of my favorite Nique videos.  The timing he had on other people's shots, and by following his own shot, was unreal.

And the power on those dunks.

 

 

I feel John Collins could be elite at this if he wanted to be.  This has his name written all over it imo. He outjumps almost everyone close to the rim and is very good at one hand catching the ball to power dunk it in.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

That pass . . . wow.

[benhillboy]

Trae release was so snappy on that floater 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

So much maturity in Trae's game tonight.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

You get the feeling that Toronto is the one who is down, and doing all they can to stay in the game.

The Hawks are just calm, and methodically getting anything they want.

 

Now Van Vleet may be dinged up.

Here's the chance to take control of the game.

Cleveland down by 8 with 7 minutes to go.

[Final_quest]

Trae is controlling everything.  What a master.  He makes it look easy.  

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Hahaha . . . you see that wink from Trae?

Love that kid.

[Guest]

We've only had four free throw attempts and we've missed three of them!

[benhillboy]

Wow what a finish by TLC

Trae gotta sprint back after the turnover committed 

[hawkman]

Who's guarding Pascal???

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Nate . . this is the game in which Okongwu and Capela should be in the game at the same time.

You can't allow to keep letting your wings get abused by Siakam like this.

 

By the way . . . ZERO FT attempts for Trae tonight, and the Hawks only have 4 total

[Final_quest]

This is gonna be tough to win without Collins and Gallo.  They got a lot of fire power on Toronto.

This guy

 

[benhillboy]

+/- ain’t lying tonight: starting lineup looking good, bench dragging it down.  They got one more stretch to tighten up.

Dre is that you?!

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Good defense by Trae, but they still give up the offensive rebound and they get and an 1

Hunter with the SLLAAAMMMM

C’mon Clint
