Hardaway Jr. getting some good minutes.

Good, tight defense to start this game. Bodes well for us. Let's just hope the Hawks get searing hot like last game.

I'm rooting for you, but it's pretty hard for me to be into basketball tonight.
It's been a rough 7 days for us Heat fans.

Yeah, I understand. I think you'll still win that series though.

I honestly do to, but the line between winning and losing is very thin.
There's a reason both teams had to same records and split during the season.
In hindsight, winning so easily the first 2 games was not a good thing.
We only lost 4 in a row, once all year.
If they lose tomorrow, then they clearly weren't the better team and I would envision a bit of an overhaul as well as no long term, bigger type salary for Wade.

Yeah I'm not even watching. 8 PM tomorrow night can't get here any sooner

This reminds of me of Game 2 where the Celtics just kept chugging up the threes.

I think that team's experience is what's going to get them back in that series. They've been in elimination games before, this core.

Only really Wade, Johnson, and Deng from the guys who are in the rotation. This is all new to guys like Winslow, Richardson, Dragic, and Hassan which is what scares me

 

[bksballer89]

Wow Atlanta looking good

Whiteside is a beast though. How's he done in the Playoffs?

Nothing special since games 1 and 2. Been average the last 3 games.

Ah. Well, I think he'll get it together.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Bazemore is looking to get paid.

 

[bksballer89]

Ah. Well, I think he'll get it together.

Hope you're right.

BTW I think your Hawks can take a game from Cleveland. Less pressure on them than last season since they won't have HCA. They were a defeated team after games 1 and 2

I'll be happy if we can take that series to six games, honestly. We just haven't matched up well with them at all lately. Seven consecutive losses to them, with five of them being very ugly games for us.

 

[CodeBreaker]

Hawks take this

 

[Demonjoe93]

I hope this doesn't turn into a reverse version of Game 5.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Man, Horford has not looked right since the first game.

 

[Mecca]

Off topic, but lol at the Philadelphia Eagles.

Lol @ this Dude.

Please Dallas sign Manziel so the Circus can be complete.
