Yeah the Hawks are done. You couldn't ask for more calls then they got last night. Atlanta is 0-18 when down 0-2 in a playoff series.

Sweeps are a tall task...so I'm hoping for a split in Atlanta, with the Wizards wrapping things up here in DC.
 
Wiz 4-1.

But Paul crying will get so many calls in ATL.

I think Wiz lose game 3 and win game 4 and 5.

I predicted 5 games before the series. Atlanta is good enough to win 1 but if we win game 3 I believe we sweep.

4th quarter last night...

Wall/Beal 24 PTS Hawks team 23 PTS

Who should russ **** it to down the stretch? Riddle me that. He gave the ball up and they spent 12-15 seconds in the shot clock trying to locate russ to give it back to him. Those boys not wolves.

That's been the move all season, if they cant get a basket within 2 dribbles so Russ gets the assist, find Russ and let him create or let him find someone else who is in a scoring position.

Russell was getting tunnel vision and taking bad shots when Kevin Durant was on his team...

I've been a longtime defender of his but come on.  The facts are there.  If he wants to become truly great his court vision needs to be much better night-in night-out.
 
He was actually facilitating really well in the first quarter too.  He was looking for the pass every time and they exploded out of the gate.

Is Westbrook the real reason the KD-WB Thunder always had such a boring vanilla offense?  Maybe it wasn't Scottie Brooks' fault after all.

Pretty much all this. I've defended Russ for a LONG time. This year? Can't do it. He's had different coaches, players, the one constant is himself. We got people in here literally saying it's a bad idea, essentially, to involve teammates. After 82 games of being froze out unless this man absolutely had no shot and/or had an easy assist... It's their fault they're not in any rhythm ever. It's the coaches fault. It's the GM's fault. It's every person in the organization's fault except Russ. Because he's an alpha.
 
Rockets need to stick to the middle PNR and Magic needs to ISO less on Roberson.

When they stuck to the script, he hit Gordon for the dagger 3
 
It's Presti's fault for not having enough shooters.
It's Donovan's fault for playing non shooters.
It's Russ' fault for taking awful shots.

They need to run that Spain PNR or start using more of the 21 series.

If Billy D gonna let Singler guard Lou or Gordon that should be a buffet of BBQ chicken.
