Knicks in 6 I would think

Hawks got a lot to throw at them

 

[AZTG]

This would be closer if this was next year imo. Hawks def got a real team, but their best players are super young. I think that hurts them.

Knicks in 5, I can see 6, I'll be super upset if it goes 7

 

[Breeze DeBarge]

Brunson gonna treat CJ like a cone


Got it

 

[O.G.]

lol. I thought Bridges was gonna blow that beautiful play by missing.

 

[Freeman]

I don't wanna see a Josh hart commercial ever again.

 

[AZTG]

I don't wanna see a Josh hart commercial ever again.

He got the most commercials on the team.

I don't like it

[Hustle Michaels]

[AZTG]

Anyone else rolls their ankle like that, they missing a half.

OG gonna miss the rest of the series though

 

[#1hiphopjunki3]

Atlanta was keeping it close and then reality set in. SMH

All these games have been duds today

 

[Sky Davis]

Changing what I said to Knicks in 5

Hawks don’t have a real competitive playoff team

Need a true star player

Jalen Johnson is good but he’s not a true star

 

[AP4.0]

I hate KAT

 

[Ironman]

Knicks in 4 but their dumbasses will make it 5

 

[Sky Davis]

I hate KAT

 

[AZTG]

Win the game win the series.

Go up 2-0 then win 1 on the road and its done.

 

[Sky Davis]

[AZTG]

Mitch ain't have to do that. Lmaoo. Fuck it. Guess we disrespecting mfers

 

[AZTG]

These bench minutes been horrible. Lost the whole lead. And it's not even that Atlanta did anything. It was all mistakes. And now we got a tie game.
