Hawks @ Heat 7:30 pm ET on NBA TV

[GrapeApe]

The Hawks have bounced back from an opening night loss to win 3 straight. The Heat are 2-0 at home. In what looks to be a very competitive race for the division, head to head tilts are always critical.

Key match up:

Al Horford: 18/8 on 52% with 2.5 blocks

Hassan Whiteside: 13/10 on 62% with 3.3 blocks

:cheers:

[WadeStan]

No Gerald Green tonite... was hoping this was the day he'd get out of his slump

Hopefully Dragic can get it going to help pick up the slack. Tyler Johnson is coming off a nice outing and they'll need a solid contribution from him tonight as well. I'm also curious how Rio plays amidst the trade rumors.

[DaSeba5]

Let's go Heat!

[WayOfWade]

I'm thinking either it comes down to the wire or the Hawks win by a large margin, I don't see the Heat taking this one by a large amount due to the absence of Gerald Green and due to the fact that the Hawks are much better coming in tonight than the Rockets were last time out

[DaSeba5]

We may get to see J Rich tonight.

[raprap]

Wiltside vs Tavares pls

[Dr. Ice]

Hawks have won 6 straight against the heat, let's make it 7.

[ShawkFactory]

I'd be surprised if we lost honestly.

[WadeStan]

They finally made it a point to get Dragic going. I like it.

[r0drig0lac]

Heat by 7

[raprap]

Dragon and wiltside :rockon:

[hawksdogsbraves]

Dragic can't stay in front of Teague at ALL. Didn't realize how slow he was laterally.

[RRR3]

Anyone have a working stream? Been trying to find one for about 20 minutes :mad:

[r0drig0lac]

Whiteside is a beast

[WayOfWade]

Whiteside beasting and feasting, 8 pts 3 rbs in 10 minutes

[raprap]

Whiteside could easily be an allstar in the east.

[RRR3]

Can you not watch it on NBATV? I guess that isn't possible if you're not at your home

[RRR3]

Bruh, i'm in my dorm. I doubt we get NBATV on the first floor tv either.

Thanks a ton bro

[hawksdogsbraves]

Whiteside is an absolute monster, the Heat don't scare me much when he's not in though.

[Dr. Ice]

First time watching the heat and their bench seems pretty terrible. This is what's supposed to challenge the hawks in the southeast? I'm more scared of washington.

[raprap]

Winslow. :facepalm

Hawks looking great.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Their bench was always supposed to be their big weakness, not really surprising. Winslow needs to be big on their second unit.

[WayOfWade]

Come on Wade! You are not James Harden, you're better than that

[raprap]

Their bench was always supposed to be their big weakness, not really surprising. Winslow needs to be big on their second unit.
Gerald green is out for them.

[plowking]

Deng freaking sucks.

[plowking]

Deng stripped and bothered by defense from Korver.

Fark me.

[LoneyROY7]

Justise really needs to start.

[plowking]

Wade and Whiteside are the only things worth watching on this team.

That and the progress of Winslow.

[Fudge]

Why is Dragic so trash? Dude can't run an offense for his life.

[raprap]

Lol wade

[raprap]

Whiteside such a beast.

[Trollsmasher]

flagrant 2 on wade

how the **** is he still allowed to play after injuring so many players

dangerous, vicious player

[GIF REACTION]

This is Hassan's team

[raprap]

If JR did that hes gone.

[WadeStan]

flagrant 2 on wade

how the **** is he still allowed to play after injuring so many players

vicious :oldlol: nice vocab there champ.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Chill Wade lol

[Megabox!]

Just saw the box score, what the hell is up with Bosh?

[Ai2death]

What a phantom foul, wade falls over himself and gets a foul :facepalm

[Hey Yo]

Very surprised Wade received a tech.

[Ai2death]

Shouldn't Millsap got to shoot 4 freethrows? He was fouled while shooting, flagrant 1 is free throws and possession.

So shooting 2 for the foul, 2 for the flagrant.
Then possession?

[GIF REACTION]

Heat commentators just perfectly described modern defenses

Closing off driving lanes to where the ball is being doubled/defended by multiple defenders AND there are no passing lanes available

[WadeStan]

It looks like ATL prepared for the Wade-Whiteside lob connection. But the good news is that Whiteside has been scoring without it and Wade is coming alive. Where the f is Bosh?

[Hey Yo]

Cashing his big checks while still being a spot up shooter w/o James.

5 of Bosh's 6 shots in the first half have been outside the paint/spot up shots

[DoctorP]

The Heat need to make their damn layups and jumpshots. No excuses. These are paid professionals.

[KendrickPerkins]

Whiteside is the best C in the league

[JimmyMcAdocious]

The neon in the atl jerseys doesn't show to well on tv.

[DoctorP]

Dragic's defense is suspect he needs help defense.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Just keep attacking Dragic, slowest feet in the East

[Crimsonrain777]

Teague is flying right by Dragic

[KendrickPerkins]

Hassan!

[JohnnyBravo5]

Dragic trying to guard Teague is tragic...

[TrueBlue89]

Wade having one hell of a fraudulent season. Haven't seen him take the initiative once so far, stats look nice & empty.

Need Bosh and Whiteside to take over again.

[LAZERUSS]

Hassan feasting on center-less Hawks.

[DoctorP]

Whiteside's been scoring but we need the team to get it going. Maybe some Green.

[DoctorP]

Dragic keeping it within 10.

[TrueBlue89]

Dragic taking over :applause:

[hawksdogsbraves]

This Heat bench is atrocious :oldlol:

[BasedTom]

well at least dragic seems back to form

you guys think chalmers is playing for that memphis trade? he's come out trying to do too much perhaps

[Ai2death]

Whiteside's been scoring but we need the team to get it going. Maybe some Green.

Greens out doe

[Ai2death]

Don't choke now Hawks, i want my moneys

[GIF REACTION]

Get it to Bosh when it breaks down

[Nuff Said]

**** happened to wade?

[Ai2death]

MILSSAP, whata block. **** Teague, makes a terrible turnover then jogs back up the floor.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Good work Hawks, finish em off :cheers:

[aj1987]

That's a dagger.

[TrueBlue89]

Hawks still Spurs East. :applause:

Heat fans already leaving. :lol

Still here, LeTurd.

[Ai2death]

Wade, leading the league in phantom fouls

[Ai2death]

Korver rushing most of his shots today

[BasedTom]

Wade, leading the league in phantom fouls
eat shit and die, ****

[Ai2death]

eat shit and die, ****

I belive the term, u mad, applies here :roll:

[TrueBlue89]

Wade :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[Ai2death]

Hawks just made me $700. Stay winning friends.

[TrueBlue89]

Still here, LeTurd.


You're at the game? :eek:

[RRR3]

:(

Tough loss.


Why have both of my favorite active player (Chalmers, LBJ) forgotten how to shoot 3s? :(

[Ai2death]

Thank you Hawks!

[WadeStan]

Bosh laid an egg. If he plays up to par and Green plays, we win.

[atljonesbro]

Thabo plays and green plans Hawks win by even more

[dubeta]

Wade got EXPOSED :oldlol: :oldlol:

[fragokota]

Great game Bosh :facepalm :facepalm

[aj1987]

Great game Bosh :facepalm :facepalm
Im usually the first to criticize Bosh, but give him 4-5 more games. Dude hasn't played in a while. Chalmers shouldn't be taking 9 shots a game though.

Missed the first 3 quarters. Why did Wade play only 27 minutes?

[WayOfWade]

When the guy with the most assists on your team only has 3, something is going very wrong

Because he had some sort of injury in the 4th that forced him out for about 7 minutes

looks like the heat are trying to keep him at around 30 minutes a game to save him for the playoffs.

[GrapeApe]

Wade got EXPOSED :oldlol: :oldlol:

You're trying too hard. 21 points on 8/15 in 27 minutes. He and Whiteside were the only reason the game was close. Bosh was 4/14, and Spo was his usual idiot self. Where was Deng? Why did Whiteside sit for most of the 4th? Why was Wade not in until 4 minutes left? Spo is the only coach in the league who has his best players on the bench late in the 4th quarter.

[GrapeApe]

Because he had some sort of injury in the 4th that forced him out for about 7 minutes

He came in the game and immediately scored. Plus he sat on the bench for over 2 minutes before Spo put him back in the game. Those 2-3 minutes are critical down the stretch. I understand the minute restriction thing, but if he's good to go, Spo needs to get him in the game in crunch time.

He had a migraine

[hawksdogsbraves]

[GrapeApe]

Ah, those damn migraines. I was thinking he might have had the shits :oldlol:

Oh well, on to the next. Hopefully Bosh can get it going.

Good game Hawks fans. Nice win.

Why does Riley love Spo so much? It pisses me off so much. I really hope that Riley finds someone else more competent for the job.

[hawksdogsbraves]

I figured something was up with Wade because he went to the lockerroom for a bit, but why did Spo sit Whiteside for so long? We had absolutely no answer for him but he didn't come in until it was basically too late in the 4th. He should've come back in when the Heat cut it to about 6 instead of coming in with 3 minutes left down 10, you're gonna need a lot of luck to come back at that point.

[GrapeApe]

Why does Riley love Spo so much? It pisses me off so much. I really hope that Riley finds someone else more competent for the job.

He has no feel for the game. None. If the game doesn't go according to his coaching 101 manual he's lost. A lot of his deficiencies were masked by having 2 of the greatest players ever in their prime for the first 6 years of his career.

Going into this year I felt that there were 2 things that could derail the season. Health at 1a and Spo at 1b.
