if you pay for floor seats to game 6 and you wear a falcons jersey then you should be escorted out IMMEDIATELY

Hawks haters preparing to discredit last night’s win

[Kendrick Perkins @KendrickPerkins]

Trade who? The Ownership group and front office of the Hawks must be out their damn minds. “The Most Disrespected” Superstar just went into the Garden and gave the Celtics that WORK… 38 and 13 with the W and the Game Winner!!! Carry y’all ass on…

[Rational Exuberance @RationalExub]

@j_brandenburg22 @anchorofgold @DanWolken If it's at the "last-second" it's not supposed to be a charge. That's on the officials if the player isn't in "legal guarding position".

IMO the problem isn't the rule, it's how it's officiated.

[Rational Exuberance @RationalExub]

@owenhoc23 @TommyBreturns @falcfans Witnesses teammates/friends die and buddy is like "How could you not come in in the best shape of your life?!" Yeah, can't think of any reasons...

[Glen Willis @willis_glen]

There should be some cosmic rule that any miserable Celtics fan should have to spend a week being a Hawks fan

[Rational Exuberance @RationalExub]

@santiknowsball1 @atlhawkstime11 You could honestly make a case he's not even a top 5 or 6 guy on that roster because Brogdon is going to finish top 2 for 6th man of the year. You have Tatum/Brown/Smart/Williams/Horford/Brodgon and we have...? It's not pretty if he's the 2nd option in Atlanta.

[Rational Exuberance @RationalExub]

@santiknowsball1 @atlhawkstime11 Perhaps he's in much more favorable position? It's not even arguable that he's one of their top 2 guys. He didn't shoot well last year and most C's fans thought he was awful. Listen to any Bill Simmons pod from last year. Situation matters. If he were the 2 here, yikes...

[Rational Exuberance @RationalExub]

@willis_glen @deliberatepix @DanWolken If that's a moving screen we'd see guys doing it all game lol. That's obviously a flop by Smart and the officials fell for it because they call the result (player on the ground) instead of calling what their eyes actually saw. I'd rather no calls than officials just guessing.

[Rational Exuberance @RationalExub]

@willis_glen I just will never understand how officials call some of the ticky-tack stuff where a guy is just barely not set, but let these clear outs go uncalled. As soon as he gets that arm extended and starts sliding w/ John that has to be a call.

[Rational Exuberance @RationalExub]

@atlhawkstime11 @santiknowsball1 If you view White as a role player (a good one), how do you come out in favor of White? He's a role player on the Celtics. He wouldn't be that in Atlanta for the comparison to make sense. Murray has to do WAY more than White does for them.

[charles (“you look good” - andy reid) mcdonald @FourVerts]

man bijan to atlanta makes so little sense to me. they just got a great season from a sixth rounder. bring me a pass rusher or another corner

[Rational Exuberance @RationalExub]

@willis_glen 1) *Do they anticipate foul calls instead of seeing a foul and then calling one accordingly?

*for me

[Atlanta Hawks and Falcons fan @atlhawkstime11]

SGA making first team All NBA while not even making the playoffs would actually be insane

I do think he’s all NBA but he shouldn’t be higher than 3rd team.

That’s why these media awards are so useless. They just choose players they like and leave off players they hate

[Rational Exuberance @RationalExub]

@DirtyTheOG @BTRowland Yep. Last week it was Heat are going to destroy the Hawks. You don't want to play the Heat and Hawks suck. Hawks win and it's "well obviously the Heat stink" And now it's back to being "The Bucks better be careful, the Heat are dangerous!" lol
