That pass by Korver is why I said what I said

Need to know how to execute on the offensive end late in close games. Hawks had some pretty shitty offensive possessions this quarter

I'm used to it from watching the Heat.
And I'm still giving the Cavs the credit.
Hawks know they can't beat them, and the mental aspect contributes to the lack of execution.

but-but-but Channing Frye sucks...

ah well...

 

[Heatles84]

Ah, there it is. The fourth quarter meltdown. Feels like a Falcons game.

I called this as well. Sorry, Demonjoe.

 

[bksballer89]

The only reason the Hawks are still in it is because of their 3 point shooting tonight. A couple stops and a few 3's may give us a tie game in a hurry

I called this as well. Sorry, Demonjoe.

I mentally prepared myself early in the third quarter.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Be right back. I gotta pick up that phone because I called it.

Don't pick up.
It's the grim reaper.

I said something like this earlier. I said the only reason it wasn't a blowout (in the second quarter) was because we were making three pointers.

This guy Teague is a joke

 

[Black Adam]

wow, Teague didn't even SEE that and no one called it out...

 

[bksballer89]

The Hawks are a mentally weak basketball team. All it comes down to.

Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love with GREAT defensive plays right there!

 

[Demonjoe93]

This is beyond pathetic. I'd be angry, but I saw this coming a mile away. Even when we were up by eleven, I knew we were going to lose. Good shooting may go dry, but bad defense doesn't stop burning you, and the Hawks didn't play any defense tonight.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Up to 21 3's.
And how many times was Tristan fouled this qtr?

For some reason, they stopped fouling him.

my my, look who's back...

 

[Demonjoe93]

Real classy, Teague.

 

[WiggyRuss]

54% on 20 made threes.

I thought Atlanta actually played pretty well....how the hell are you supposed to win when the other team makes 20 threes on over 50% from behind the arc?

 

[Demonjoe93]

If this doesn't convince Grant Hill that shit needs to change in the offseason, nothing will. We are not going to win a championship with Teague; we're not going to win a championship with Horford. Time to accept and move on. This team has plenty of young talent on it. I believe in Schroeder, I like Bazemore (even though he didn't do anything tonight), and Millsap is a great player.
