Also, with the Knicks the Hawks just aren't going to let Randle be the one to beat them. So far for the Knicks theyve had a couple guys, 1 in each game step up offensively, but overall as a team not enough guys have stepped up to try and make up the difference. RJ Barrett has been mostly invisible.
NBA PLAYOFFS
- Thread starter BGCATFAN2012
- Start date
Right now, 10 minutes gone by in the 1st, only Rose and Randle have scored. Not a good sign.
Just wish Randle and IQ would pick it up.
Randle has to get back to being a playmaker. That opens up the other parts of his game. He’s trying too hard imo
Yeah nothing is coming easy . I am giving it 2 or 3 years before NY fans start calling for Thibs. I think they are just so happy to make the playoffs again that they won’t bash him yet .
But his lack of creativity on offense is showing this series . Matter fact he should be trying to get Trae switched on someone when they are offense to take advantage of his bad defense.
As a Hawks fan I couldn’t disagree more. Lol. Great basketball & every game has been hard fought & ultra competitive but I wanna get this stressful series over ASAP.
I know Bullock is out there to guard Trae but he shouldn’t be on the court this long .
Where is IQ?
Where is IQ?
The Hawks signing Bogan was huge . I always liked his game when he played for Sacramento
IQ just not involved in the offensive flow. It happens. He just needs to his confidence up and learn how to maneuver to get his shots up effectively at his size as an off guard.
Fans need to realize NBA stars didn’t become stars overnight as only an elite few do that. Hell Janes Harden averaged 13.5 his 4th season down from 16 in his 3rd season. It took Goran Dragic 6 seasons to average double digits. I can go on and on with these examples of current NBA top players.

Same here. I’ve always liked Bogi & thought he’d be a great fit in ATL. I was thrilled with signing him & Gallinari, both. Believe it or not the original plan was for both to come off the bench. I’m hoping they do everything possible to keep him around a while.
Yeah your Hawks arguably had the best offseason . I knew all of those pickups would be great and I thought the Rondo pickup was great too but they didn’t pan out .
The biggest move was firing Lloyd and letting McMillan take over . If McMillan was coaching from the start of the season the Hawks would be higher than a 5th seed .
Yeah the off-season was a very pleasant surprise. So atypical for them, lol. They usually do very little or get fleeced one way or another. But, another underrated move was hiring Travis Schlenk as GM. He did a masterful job of building assets & creating cap space to put this team together.
I really liked the Rondo move too & was scratching my head over the trade for Lou Williams. But, adding Capela last season & then Bogi & Gallo in the off-season completely changed the dynamic & made them a much more complete team. I’m a sucker for shooters & loved seeing them embrace the Golden State model. I never thought Lloyd Pierce was a good choice & I loved the personnel but never imagined they would be THIS much better with Nate. He’s had his playoff struggles but they’ve been a .700 team since he took over.
ATL Gallinari has some serious dawg in his game. Big guy literally playing horse during the game.

About all he can get when there is no one else on the team that can create easy looks for someone and there is no one else consistently reliable to punish the defense.
Yeah Rose is about the only one getting anything going on offense . If it wasn’t for him it would have been a sweep . Barrett and Randle major letdowns .
AD is basketball's version of Eric Davis.
Lol. I think his salary exceeds the SS Disability threshold by a tad bit.
9 assists 0 turnovers for CP3. Idk if he's going in to the HOF, but if it were my HOF he'd be in there 1st ballot.
He’s easily a lock for the HOF. Lock for first ballot too .
The Lakers usually go as AD goes. If he’s out a few games I think Phoenix pulls it out.
My Lakers are toast.... If AD can't come back consider us cooked.
Now you look at the future... do Lakers win next year with another year on Lebron? Doubt it. So now do you build around AD who is Glass?
Lots of tough decisions to make... I'm just glad they were able to win 1 chip out of the duo

I'm chill.... it's bad enough that Lebron is on my Lakers and I gotta act happy about it LOL
I just don't see a path this year esp now with AD groin injury. That isn't something that can go away in a day takes weeks
Davis can't be depended on. Brittle as potato chip. If he had half the miles on him that LeBron had, he would be rolling around in a wheelchair. I'm just glad he was a badass at Kentucky who brought a title. Knee sprain, Achilles strain, groin. What is next? A right testicle contusion?
I'm just saying maybe see how he feels tomorrow and how he looks in Game 5 before we blow up the franchise for the next five years.
AD has been known to come back from the dead before. It's never as bad as it looks, he's just a baby.
Rumor has it that the Lakers are replacing the square tables at the practice facility with round ones. AD is also being kept away from all paper products. Never can be to careful, a paper cut could end this play off run.
I have never seen so many players crawl around on the floor after a foul than this year's playoffs have produced. It's to the point that I just assume they are all faking it. This used to mean something serious, now it's just gamesmanship.
And, and, what is up with this split screen during the game for a commercial for the NBA? I'm already watching it, why ruin the game experience with an unpaid split screen?

Kawhi and Paul George are playing great .
Luka injury might have changed this series around
