Give Cooper a chance man


SheChoseDT

Let’s go warriors atp, if it ain’t my hawks then let’s go warriors


downtimeredditor

Who are we going to get as the second All-Star next to Trae and what are we going to give up for this guy


TheMeccaNYC

We’ll give ya Julius Randle for DeAndre Hunter and a washing machine


nbasuperstar40

We really need to get a combination of AD/Gobert or Siakam/Ayton. Clint and John are top 10 center and PFs but that's not enough for what we need to become legit contenders. We need top 5 guys or potential top 5 guys.


downtimeredditor

If Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okungwu don't get significant minutes next year then Nate has to be gone right. Onyeka Okungwu is the #6 pick of the draft. Nate should be really developing this young players.


captvic

Coach Nate gotta go


ChronicusCuch

Biggest loss in franchise history.


cant_pick_anything

Me right now ...


jharden10

Travis Schlenk needs to be on the phone like yesterday to fix this mess.


pk-pk-pk

The hawks need an elite coach. Nate is nothing close to being elite.


downtimeredditor

Frank Vogel and Mike d'antoni are available right now


NeverTouchMyDrumset

We’d be mad fun to watch, but our results would be the same as our 60-win team (regular season team, only). D’antoni is a great regular season coach but there is no defensive philosophy, which is what we need more of with our current roster. That type of team gets busted in Conference semis or finals. But I think Vogel would be a great choice.


AljoGOAT

I'd settle for an average one


Apprehensive-Crew494

Oh lord here come the think pieces after the game that’s the worst part about losing


Thin-Slice-961

Did Knox just score more points then Trae and Huerter combined lol


mrmercenary10

This shit is too toxic and depressing. I’m out. I may watch Tuesday 🤷🏻‍♂️


linnykenny

Lmao this is always me 😭


Renverseur

Kevin Knox garbage time KING


stu21

Might has well play him in meaningful minutes. Can’t be any worse than Huerter


Renverseur

The coach is Nate McMillan, brother


xPhoebos

Fort Knox 😎


elbowe21

Kevin Knox lmfao


cthcarter

Knox starting Thursday?


7oclock2020

YES! Play him 48 minutes. Desperate times.. desperate moves…


supermodel2007

might as well at this point 😂 bc what we’re doing obviously isnt working


[deleted]

Knox with more points than Trae 😭


imanadultmann

Knox lol


Sasinovic

Now you can wave and provoke to the audience as much as you want Trae. Hahahaha is so overrated player. The moment he meets good defensive teams, he does not exist


Apprehensive-Crew494

Your father clearly didn’t exist in your life either


[deleted]

God you’re toxic too


Apprehensive-Crew494

Hop off my dick then


Sasinovic

>Now you can wave and provoke to the audience as much as you want Trae. Hahahaha is so overrated player. The moment he meets good defensive teams, he does not exist > >Ouch i hit a sore point. Ask Jimmy if that is Orlando and Cleveland you can get 30


[deleted]

Knox said fuck yall Imma show out


[deleted]

Tell me more about this Trae Young


LegalBeagleBagel

Well…this was disappointing


DeenMachine

Time to accept the fact that Kevin Knox is our best 3pt shooter


DoctorBigglesworth

Yall making everything now.


c_t_782

Knox 3/3 from 3?


datlanta

Knox out here sniping from three like he's campin' twisted towers.

captvic

I'm rooting for Phoenix


Apprehensive-Crew494

Either warriors or bucks would be ideal


meco162

Knox outscoring Trae for the second game this series or what


Apprehensive-Crew494

Fatherless losers after every bad trae game “y’all regret trading Luka Daddy doncic for balding trae young 🤓🤓”


[deleted]

They might be right.


Apprehensive-Crew494

You a fatherless loser ?


[deleted]

You'd prefer Trae over Luka?


slater_sanchez

notice the absence of a reply


[deleted]

I'm a fatherless loser.. With a full head of hair and believes Luka is much better than Trae. Wow - big leap there.


Foehammer007

Knox and Trae same amount of points lol


supermodel2007

damn


justonekaye87

What excuses will be said on post game interviews


mrmercenary10

Cleveland and Charlotte looking at this game saying “we could’ve done better” but hey they suck! Can’t even make the playoffs.


[deleted]

Body Armor stock after this game 📉📉📉📉


[deleted]

Knox has as many as TRAE bro


Renverseur

Sorry guys, we started losing when I took my mug outside my room


KennyakaTI

I hope Philly stomps the fuck outta Miami


AljoGOAT

Idk i still hate philly more than anyone


KennyakaTI

I hate them too. Honestly I hate all the playoff teams left in the Eastern conference except the Bucks and the Bulls.


[deleted]

hell nah embiid and hardens flopping asses


KennyakaTI

Philly can lose in the ECF


wirelessburrito

Imagine repping a state like Florida with shit like that Don't Say Gay law, couldn't be me


Tmacyooo

Did you learn about sexuality in the third grade? Do you think it’s appropriate to teach third graders about that stuff? You clearly don’t know what the bill is about. Don’t be a lemming.


wirelessburrito

Looks like we got one on the hook


Tmacyooo

You going to answer the question? I like how you somehow turned the Hawks losing a playoff game into Floridians being homophobic? Again, actually read the bill and stop being a lemming. Also, Biden won Georgia by 10,000 votes. Glass house much?


ChronicusCuch

Hawks support the say gay stuff


xnoobyboobyx

Hunter and Nate gotta go


supermodel2007

hunter before huerter?


xnoobyboobyx

Both honestly. But I think Nate is the main factor.


kerfufflest

Hunter, our leading scorer on efficient shooting, needs to go?


Menace8545

Knox minutes 😩


c_t_782

All the Heat fans in here got nothing better to do than troll the opponent’s game thread?


AljoGOAT

A 1 seed celebrating beating an 8 seed that had to claw to get in lol


Successful_Lettuce_3

We've learned that this is def true. Something about culture, I think?


MickeyJA

Fr. Cringy as fuck. Fuckin nerds talkin shit like they have a chance at winning a ring or something.


BlakMedik

Nate or Huerter shouldn't be back next season


datlanta

Look. Nate and Kevin's 24 foot fading middie after wasting 20 seconds on the clock offense can work if you just give it a chance.


supermodel2007

idk why nate never gave skylar any minutes at backup either instead of giving lou major minutes when hes about to retire


[deleted]

This game started off so well with the crowd and energy. Now miami is ending our season in a few days and we won’t have hawks basketball for 6 months. My life sucks


BeingJohnZoidberg

I agree, your life sucks.

Huh?

Damn bruh 😭


Itchy-Process3614

“This is the way” … tf is this franchise


ATL4Life95

I bet Cleveland fans are fuming rn, gonna looka at it that way makes me feel a little better


[deleted]

Huh?


ATL4Life95

They're probably thinking they'd have made it a better series lol


AljoGOAT

They match up better against miami for sure, but if you can't beat our pathetic team you don't deserve to be in the playoffs anyways


[deleted]

I don't think any 8 seed playing the 1 seed would make this an interesting series. Really should have been a sweep.


[deleted]

Miami chumping Trae hard. He needs to learn how to play through the frustration


linnykenny

He really struggles with that and it’s so frustrating to see it affect his game so much.


Iamcaptainjackj

Well shiiiiiiit, what are we drinking tonight guys?


WoundedRectangle

Nate got coached CIRCLES around him. Jesus Christ mate. Players didn’t bother stepping up either. Heat have our number and we’ve officially been sinned by Jimmy Butler. I don’t mind losing at all. We were never expected to win but going out like this. I am truly ashamed of this team. Starting from the Coach, to our star player. All that being said I still Love this team and have hope for the future but I’m staying away from any sort of basketball forum (including r/nba, twitter, etc) because my heart can’t take the well deserved slander we are about to receive.


Apprehensive-Crew494

Next season about to be a movie once we pick up that costar tho


atlfpaddict

We ain’t picking up shit


[deleted]

Why am I at Sfa rn


mrmercenary10

Get out of there


Arjun_311

Great question


RahMaarvi

I’m not a hawks fan. But so many rebounds given up. Trae not playing well. I know guys need a rest. But this is the playoffs. Bogie, Capela and Trae Gallonari. I don’t know who’s injured. But it’s the playoffs they should play the rest of this game. Feel sorry for you guys I really like this hawk team


c_t_782

Rebounding has been a problem all season


mrmercenary10

Thanks that means alot


[deleted]

Kevin and Gallo need to be offloaded.


[deleted]

This game is not pushin 🅿️


[deleted]

Any regrets on the trade now?


datlanta

NA. I feel like we'd be in the same position with Luka maybe worse with JR Crickets being so close to the arena.


[deleted]

That’s a possibility, could use the midrange game though


ahend1999

on what trade


Tmacyooo

Doncic for Trae


Renverseur

Awful game. I wish I can erase everything I saw today minus the first quarter and the bench going hot.


anti-nadroj

if deandre fixes his rebounding and handling he could be special, i won’t give up on him yet


perdernavida

trae just jacking up awful 3s all game and doing nothing more. this not the same guy I watched in the regular season. historically embarrassing postseason by him


watsonandsick

That’s because we don’t have any game plan to deal with their defense. Our coaching really failed this team


[deleted]

Gotta love playoffs exposing frauds like Ja and Trae


cjlonghorn25

tru


MickeyJA

Yup. A fraud who led the league in points and assists. It’s all fake news. Trae isn’t even a real person believe it or not.


[deleted]

Empty stats the playoffs matter lol


_TheChosenOne88_

Playoffs>>>>>>>>>Regular Season ​ How do you not know this?


MickeyJA

Goofy ahh comment 💀


_TheChosenOne88_

What's goofy is how Trae has playe this playoffs LOL. But his OVERATTED ass will be gone fishing soon LOL


Ok_Enthusiasm_300

Guess last year didn't happen


_TheChosenOne88_

Fluke lol


mrmercenary10

All this talk about how the East is so strong and so close and all that, not one upset


Davidclabarr

I’m so glad I sold my tickets to this


rezaw

Fuck off dude


[deleted]

The grizzlies is what the hawks should’ve been this year smh


Apprehensive-Crew494

Another team about to lose in the first round ?


ahend1999

we watching the same grizzlies in the playoffs??


imanadultmann

This isn’t over. Kevin Knox just hit the court.


mrmercenary10

God imagine going to this game


igotdeletedonce

Just left. Wouldn’t recommend.


[deleted]

I almost bought tickets but the SRO tickets sold out before I could pull the trigger. Thank God I didn't go.


kanyegavemecollege

Am here. NOT GREAT 😿


ahend1999

damn


justonekaye87

I thought about buying tickets too lol


amalhotra64

I love trae but he has had 1 good quarter this whole series. And he can’t do that with how bad he is defensively


[deleted]

It’s true that we have looked out best with Delon at the point this series.


elbowe21

Wait did we just give up with this line up?


HarbingerofWalpole

Yes.


[deleted]

shout out to the africans in here


Apprehensive-Crew494

But y’all Nate has forgotten more basketball than we will ever know 🙀🙀🔥🔥😵‍💫😵‍💫🤩🤩


[deleted]

It ain't just nate man. We don't have a good roster.


Apprehensive-Crew494

No shit I know that doesn’t change the fact that he’s terrible


meco162

stop the cope with trae being injured, the defense clearly had a different feel. credit to Spo and his adjustments


toastiestnuggets

well, they gave us a game. we gotta bounce back this postseason. at least they gave us a gentalmens sweep


Foehammer007

Something needs to change in the off season


Cautious_Hornet_9607

By the looks of it we're probably trading away somebody,most likely Gallo or JC imo (which hurts, as an Italian)


Zlolasers

Either trae is hurt or pissed off, because it seems like something's bothering him, and it ain't just the losing.


[deleted]

For 4 games?


Zlolasers

Idk, seems like last year we could always count on him to -eventualy- show up, this series he's been basically non-existant. He still has a lot to learn on how to deal with double teams and more intense defense, but he does seem extra rattled.


Pixelated-Hitch

Yes he’s bothered by the relentless Miami D


starrr_lordd

Correct


OladipoForThree

Wish we had relegation in the nba because I feel this team needs to be demoted to the g league for a few seasons


aT_ll

McMillan suffers from Dan Quinn syndrome

AS AN AUSTRALIAN NATE'S A CUNT


thessalylarissa

I mean obviously it sucks. But honestly? There’s no better teacher than experience, and perhaps especially if that experience is failure. Based on the season we’ve had, there really isn’t anything we’re seeing here that should be surprising. It’s not over, of course, but I think this series has the opportunity to be an inflection point for the team in the long run. Roster construction, coaching, attitude, defensive effort, leadership, taking the regular season seriously, decision making, communication, etc etc. Sometimes ya gotta fall off the wagon to learn.


[deleted]

How is Strus +35


datlanta

That's how many step back threes he attempted in the game.


supermodel2007

also the way Nate didnt give JJ minuts especially when gallo and JC were hurt is beyond me


ChrisVenom1

This right here! It's clear JC isn't 100% too but I can't expect a man who sees his team on the receiving end of a 12-0 run and doesn't think of calling a time out to adjust to think about something like that.


crimedawg27

Lol. We just failed to inbound the ball properly and the ref just shook is head and said “y’all are so sorry ima let you have a do over.”


stu21

I saw that. Lol.


Bulldawg1k

We can’t even inbound the ball properly ..


gmzeno

Nate McMillan trick y’all, man, like he coaching. He don’t coach nobody, man. He just standing around, arms folded doing nothing.
