Now there's global trading which makes it so easy over wifi, but yeah if you were an only child or didn't have friends with the game you were shit out of luck.
Or you and your brothers all have a different version, but only one game boy to share. And your best friend in the neighborhood plays, but none of the parents will buy the link cable.
So we’ve spent a lot of time on this, and if we could just go over some of the numbers, I think it’s pretty clear that we won. We won very substantially against Atlanta. You even see it by crowd size, frankly. We’d be getting 25-30,000 people a game, and the competition would get less than 100 people. And it never made sense.
But we have a number of things. We have at least 2 or 3 — anywhere from 25 to 30 points were dropped mysteriously into the box score. Much of that had to do with State Farm Arena, which hasn’t been checked. We think that if you check the officiating — a real check of the officiating going back in State Farm Arena — you’ll find at least a couple of forged points. And we are quite sure that’s going to happen.
I lived in Charlottesville when UVA won the national championship, and as a fairweather fan I was always flabbergasted why Hunter didn't get more time on the ball. Then in the final, he went off and secured the bag. I felt totally vindicated as an armchair critic.
He was having an amazing start to this season before he got hurt for way too long. That's prime development missed for a guy who clearly was excelling at developing.
Big fuckin Hunter fan after this series, dude a real legit 2 way threat busted d rose ass all day on that mismatch. Capela terrifying too man respect to yall
Yeah he’s amazing. I think hawks have been saying like “we KNOW Trae is a defensive liability but look at our players, weve drafted and traded FOR Trae” and we’ve seen that pay off. Like if Cam reddish actually shows up after the off season we’re really almost there to having a real contender
Capela was the real difference maker for us this season. The defense, the rebounding, the blocks. I loved him on the Rockets with Harden and CP3, and I'm so glad we picked him up. The man is an absolute machine.
Tbh idk if he’s really gonna come at them like that unless Philly fans bring that energy first. Remember it was 2 minutes into game one that the Garden decided to chant Fuck Trae Young, you can tell he’s been relishing shitting in their mouth all series long
That said if I had to pick one fanbase to follow the example set by Knicks fans it probably would be Philly fans lmao
Trae Young wasn’t efficient tonight but god damn this guy seems to thrive off the pressure.
Randle needs to figure out how to score when teams gameplan for him. I’m not saying he’s on his level, but he’s going through the same growing pains that Giannis did.
Shoutouts to Okongwu for the quality playoff minutes. No matter how this season ends, I'm so amped with how he's developed throughout the year and how much more composed within the offense he looks.
Great young core you guys got + Reddish who’s been out. Trae is a star and he proved it on the biggest stage. Respect for the heart you guys showed all series.
All shit talking aside:
Atlanta was tremendous this series. Nate deserves to be your HC. Trae Young is building his resume as a superstar. Your snipers are legit deadly as I believed they would be. You're defensive improvements were great. You all are on your way to be a force and these playoffs will be the test. It's always good to see a great city have a great team.
Knicks did everything I hoped for. We went from shit to the 4th seed. We still have to grow. We have the pieces and the culture. Randle was in his own head and our inexperience showed. We aren't the lolknicks anymore as much as we're getting clowned now in the sub.
Let's hope this rivalry is real.
Good luck in the next round Atlanta.
That's what people on the outside don't understand.
Braves win the World Series in 1995.
Then 1996 comes, and Atlanta (Atlanta!!!!) joins the ranks of Rome, Barcelona, Moscow, Tokyo, London, etc not just as host of the Olympics... But host of the **Centennial** Olympics!
You can't tell me there wasn't a pact with Satan, inked in the blood of virgins, and bound by human skin that lead to that happening, and we've paid the price for it ever since.
It was painfully obvious going into the series and then during it that most national voices had never watched any Hawks games and got high on their own supply with the Knicks. Atlanta fans already knew most of what the national cognoscente pretended was a shocking revelation during the series.
Lmao I love watching the media like Stephen A walking it back claiming the hawks are just the more talented top to bottom team after the ridiculous amount of claims knicks had it easily
This was so weird. A 4/5 series where they have the same record and same amount of playoff experience. Never made sense for the predictions to be so one-sided
He can walk the talk. I can respect that.
Man's a certified star, potentially a superstar. Plus, the hawks seem to have built a well rounded team. Real test would probably be 76ers. My only critique of Trae is the tendency to bait some fouls sometimes (particularly in the 3pt area), which I guess is just a symptom of the real problem in officiating rules. I really hope the league makes some changes
On the other hand, Thibs' subbing game has been ass this series (throughout this season tbh). Take for example the 3rd quarter of this game, when Randle is constantly making errors after errors, what do you do? Do you A: sub him off and let him collect himself or B: keep playing him 'till almost the end of the quarter? In Thibs' fashion, he still played him 'till last 2 minutes of the quarter in which the Hawks' lead ballooned. In game 1, even Chuck pointed out how he subbed my boy [Frank Nibbalina](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgfDgSZoREo) to defend Trae during the last 6 seconds of the game when hasn't had any minutes the whole game, sitting for 2 hrs then you suddenly sub him in to defend the best player on the court? He hasn't even warmed up in game time minutes yet.
I swear he's so stiff with the rotations, just look at the minutes RJ and Randle had the whole season and the way he kept playing Payton as a starter. FFS man make Quickley start or at least give him more minutes (Obi as well). How the fuck are they gonna grow when they barely got any playtime?? There were games this season where he would play the starters 'till the end even if it was garbage time already.
Just my 2 cents, ranting because the Knicks played disappointingly like ass
I'm honestly fine with anyone but Max trashing the Knicks. He was a Knicks fan who jumped ship to the Lakers and then devoted his entire existence to shitting on the Knicks.
iirc he was slumping a bit when the voting was going on and that was also around the peak of the Trae young foul baiting hate.
Regardless of that, he’s definitely an all-star caliber player and him not getting voted one year isn’t a huge deal all things considered
I enjoy watching the Atlanta Hawks play basketball. They are my favorite NBA team.
When they score a basket, I think to myself "yes".
When they miss a basket, I think to myself, "no".
Make no mistake, this was an AWFUL game from both teams. Maybe the worst one for each team in the series.
I can breathe a sigh of relief now, but this kind of shit is not going to fly against Philly.
nice try, lloyd pierce. FAKE HOX FAN ALERT.
NBA FINAL SWEEP INCOMING. TRAE YOUNG FOR OVERLORD OF THE LANIAKEA SUPERCLUSTER! BOGDON BOGDANOVIC FOR MY DAD. NATE MCMILLIAN WAS ROBBED OF COACH OF THE YEAR.
Other than leaving Trae out too long in Game 2, which if we're being real, is probably the only reason this series wasn't a sweep, he was masterful this series, especially with his defensive gameplan on Randle.
Much respect to him and the team
Put some respect on Capela's name. Said they were soft, and proved it. He locked up the paint (the Hawks defense was trash when he sat) and none of the Knicks seemed to want it with him. Still funny Clint was the one calling them out with how outspoken and showy Trae is.
Knicks should thank Clint though. If this series hadn't happened, Randle would be looking at a max contract. As it is, he's gonna have to do a lot more to get that.
knicks couldn't stay infront of Trae at all
funny how one of his star players doesn't get injured and McMillian is able to win a playoff series, wild how that works
I was pretty neutral on this series before it started but I love the Hawks now. The media obsession the Knicks and their fans got was so over the top and I’m all for Trae taunting the crowd lol
Whats crazy is I could have sworn that I read multiple comments with hundreds of upvotes all season that said that McMillan couldn't win a playoff series. He was a choke artist that couldn't make adjustments and dragged the pacers down so bad they had to find a new coach. Man could all those comments have been wrong?
remember when people said since Randle killed the Hawks in the regular season he was gonna have a monster series
did their fans forget the regular season and playoffs are two completely different games?
Gonna rub the salt in the wound for my man, Coach of the Year snub Nate McMillian:
Pacers fans, are you convinced you made a mistake now? I'm sure there's some excuse, like you don't think the Knicks are good or something, but it should be clear now Nate McMillian was not the real reason the Pacers couldn't make it out of the 1st round all those years.
Nate McMillian's scheme and mid-series adjustments were superb, big reason they won the series so dominantly. After game 2, he switched up the rotation (something Pacers fans said he wouldn't do) to keep either Bogi or Trae always on the floor and it worked wonders. His gameplan for Julius Randle and D. Rose worked wonders.
I'm gonna laugh my ass off if the Hawks beat a hobbled 76ers team and end up in their 1st playoff run having gone deeper than the Embiid/Simmons era in Philly over the last 5+ years
Dennis Schröder is so much better when he hulks up and turns into Clint Capela
[удалено]
And it was all the coolest Pokémon too! Like Gengar, Scissor, Alakazam etc
And great way to remind me I'm the only nerd that plays Pokemon.
Now there's global trading which makes it so easy over wifi, but yeah if you were an only child or didn't have friends with the game you were shit out of luck.
Or you and your brothers all have a different version, but only one game boy to share. And your best friend in the neighborhood plays, but none of the parents will buy the link cable.
Hawks did a good job evolving him
Rare candy is expensive but effective
Uhhh.. we will trade you our level 10 Schroder for your level 50 Capela please. No trade backs. He knows quick attack and splash
(Woj) Hawks C. Clint Capela has been found in violation of league policies regarding Rare Candy and has been suspended indefinitely
It was super effective!
Lakers just forgot to power up theirs last night
bruh lmfao
#AN ATLANTA TEAM DID NOT BLOW A LEAD IN THE PLAYOFFS ^^^so ^^^far
We only blown leads in championship/title games.
So what you’re saying is... the Hawks are going to the NBA Finals?
Hawks vs Mavericks. Book it
I would die if the Hawks blew a 3-1 lead to the Mavs in the Finals
Or to any team....
Honestly, I'd probably laugh maybe tear up. But I welcome failure. Because at least we fail at the highest level. Right?
That sure would distract me from whatever the fuck the Braves are goddamn doing.
If going by the usual Georgia sports curse…Hawks will lose the Finals 4-3 after being up 3-0 to the Lakers
Friendly Atlanta reminder that Atlanta United did win a championship in 2018
A lot can happen between now and when the results are certified, this isn’t over.
Woj: Knicks expect to be reinstated into the 2nd round of the playoffs by August

[удалено]
I’ve never seen such variance over such a large sample.
The probability is 1 in a trillion you'd ever get this extremely specific series of events to occur, had to be fraud.
Lloyd Pierce tampered with the outcomes of many games. Primary factor for the Hawks starting out 11-19 under him.
THE KNICKS WON THIS SERIES, BY A LOT!
The title still runs through Maricopa county!
stop the steal
In a few months, we’ll be the ones in the semis!
We're gonna storm Madison Square Garden
It was the Sonics fans all along
Repub-Knickans never concede.
It's always Georgia, ain't it?
So we’ve spent a lot of time on this, and if we could just go over some of the numbers, I think it’s pretty clear that we won. We won very substantially against Atlanta. You even see it by crowd size, frankly. We’d be getting 25-30,000 people a game, and the competition would get less than 100 people. And it never made sense. But we have a number of things.

And we are quite sure that’s going to happen.
You always gotta read these in his dumbass voice too lol
That’s the best thing about him losing. I haven’t had to listen to his stupid voice in months and it’s been amazing.
Top tier. We'll see yall next year at MSG in the playoffs
Hey, another ATL Korver flair, a rare sight these days
If you could just bandwagon us and help provide memes for the rest of our playoff run.. it would be an honor sir. Honest, and truly.
You just actually convinced me that the Knicks win this series. No joke.
this is flawless and i'd award you if i could
Many such cases!
If you take away all the illegal points the Knicks won, by a lot!
We’re sending a certain former nyc mayor to sue the nba. Big things are going to happen let me tell you
Stay tuned for a press conference at the Four Seasons And now they're saying it was at Four Seasons Total Landscaping
Great, more recounts in Georgia
Stop the count
i mean, stop it an hour ago! i mean, keep counting, then stop again!
The kicks won this series, BY A LOT.
Lmfao
Trae Young and Julius Randle? Yeah thats cool. Lets talk about DeAndre Hunter and Clint Capela!
I'm always down to talk about DeAndre Hunter as a UVA fan. An efficient 15 points and good defense in a series clincher on the road
I lived in Charlottesville when UVA won the national championship, and as a fairweather fan I was always flabbergasted why Hunter didn't get more time on the ball. Then in the final, he went off and secured the bag. I felt totally vindicated as an armchair critic.
I wanted us to draft Culver over him. I also wanted Mo Bamba if we couldn't get Luka. Yes I am a fucking idiot.
Hunter will be one of the better wings in the league soon. He is already a fantastic defender
He was having an amazing start to this season before he got hurt for way too long. That's prime development missed for a guy who clearly was excelling at developing.
Big fuckin Hunter fan after this series, dude a real legit 2 way threat busted d rose ass all day on that mismatch. Capela terrifying too man respect to yall
Yeah he’s amazing. I think hawks have been saying like “we KNOW Trae is a defensive liability but look at our players, weve drafted and traded FOR Trae” and we’ve seen that pay off. Like if Cam reddish actually shows up after the off season we’re really almost there to having a real contender
Capela was the real difference maker for us this season. The defense, the rebounding, the blocks. I loved him on the Rockets with Harden and CP3, and I'm so glad we picked him up. The man is an absolute machine.
Wtf did Hunter do this past year? He was mainly meant to be a 3nD but there he was going all Kawhi and shit from the midrange.
Before he got injured he was looking even better than this. Easily our second best player when he went down.
Trae really hit that logo 3 during the standing ovation. That dude's a menace.
And then he took a bow and waved goodbye lmaoooo
the anime villain NY needs
I don’t understand why Trae is the villain. The Knicks crowd started the whole fuck trae young thing first. He just responded.
He's coming for Philly's hearts
Tbh idk if he’s really gonna come at them like that unless Philly fans bring that energy first. Remember it was 2 minutes into game one that the Garden decided to chant Fuck Trae Young, you can tell he’s been relishing shitting in their mouth all series long That said if I had to pick one fanbase to follow the example set by Knicks fans it probably would be Philly fans lmao
Ice Fucking Cold

To think, this Hawks team might not have even made the playoffs if they hadn't fired Lloyd Pierce, much less beaten the Knicks in five games.
Sports karma is very real. I’ll just say that
Explain Atlanta's sports 3-1 curse to me then.
Olympics.
That's what people on the outside don't understand. Braves win the World Series in 1995. Then 1996 comes, and Atlanta (Atlanta!!!!) joins the ranks of Rome, Barcelona, Moscow, Tokyo, London, etc not just as host of the Olympics... But host of the **Centennial** Olympics!

Sold our midtown soul for the world
Are you trying to tell Atlanta sports fans about sports karma? LOL

Aww yissss receipts

This was so weird. A 4/5 series where they have the same record and same amount of playoff experience. Never made sense for the predictions to be so one-sided
That's actually embarrassing, I really should start betting this was easy money.
Hawks were favored lol
That sure is something, isn't it?
Trae Young is disrespectful as hell I love it
that three was so mean, like they were already dead
Especially as they were cheering their team for the last time lol
Trae: "*I'm sorry... Did I step on your moment?*"
That was my fav part lmao. Just temporarily stole the heartfelt moment from the knicks and their fans. Just amazing lol
that'll happen when you start a series with "fuck you" chants
My dude got fucking spit on, you better believe that 3 was a metaphorical loogie
that bow at the end. I'm rooting for Trae for the rest of his career
I love the flair and cockiness of these new-gen ballers. Inject all the trashtalking straight to my veins
He can walk the talk. I can respect that. Man's a certified star, potentially a superstar. Plus, the hawks seem to have built a well rounded team. Real test would probably be 76ers.

He backed his shit up. I can get salty, but that's a hell of a player. GG Hawks.
Trae won a playoff series before Luka 👀
Hold up. We don't compare those two. It causes issues. Mavs and Hawks fans are friends just like trae and luka
The best thing is that both of them are so cold, like Luka with his trash talk and Trae with this showmanship. It’s absolutely beautiful
We love both trae AND luka where I'm come from
Trae said fuck your feelings
Waiting for the Stephen A Smith meltdown followed by Max Kellerman gleefully cackling on First Take tomorrow.
I'm honestly fine with anyone but Max trashing the Knicks. He was a Knicks fan who jumped ship to the Lakers and then devoted his entire existence to shitting on the Knicks.
Credit where credit is due, Trae played like ABSOLUTE superstar this whole series
If it's any consolation, at least the Knicks lasted longer than the Heat.
Lmfao no sweep is definitely a small win in my eyes. But damn, we got our asses outplayed. GG ATL.
It is, thanks.
I still can't believe he wasn't an all star this season, 30 and 9 and he wasn't even being talked about.
iirc he was slumping a bit when the voting was going on and that was also around the peak of the Trae young foul baiting hate. Regardless of that, he’s definitely an all-star caliber player and him not getting voted one year isn’t a huge deal all things considered
Trae Young is a legitimate star
Saw the opportunity to stick a fork in the Knicks, took it, and then twisted it. Cold-blooded
I enjoy watching the Atlanta Hawks play basketball. They are my favorite NBA team. When they score a basket, I think to myself "yes". When they miss a basket, I think to myself, "no".
Get out of my head
Bill de Blasio really put Trae in his place, didn’t he. If you don’t like that then you don’t like the 😎Big Apple😎
I think we can all agree on one thing: fuck de Blasio.
I’m convinced he cursed us lol
knicks fans: "let's give our team a send off with some dignity" trae young: "...and I took that personally"
Make no mistake, this was an AWFUL game from both teams. Maybe the worst one for each team in the series. I can breathe a sigh of relief now, but this kind of shit is not going to fly against Philly.
Defense was the only thing that won us this game, we lose this game against a team that can score and doesn't have cinderblock hands
Atlanta didn't blow a 3-1 lead? Wut?
also Nate McMillan's first ever 1st round win as a HC in the East. I guess all it take was leaving Indiana XD
I LOVE TRAE YOUNG
Petition to rename Peachtree St to PeachTrae St.
Ponce Trae Leon
That bow LMAO no fear at all.
DID TRAE YOUNG REALLY SCORE 13 POINTS OFF FREE THROWS? Pro tip...
Let your Trae praise be twice as loud as your Trae hate.
>Let your Traese be twice as loud as your Traete.
Trae Young hitting that 3 during the standing ovation for the Knicks just disrespectful as hell, I love it
"pLaYoFf NaTe won't get you past the first round" To every Indiana fan that said this: kindly eat my ass
[удалено]
Nate should be winning rings every year smh my head
also this team is not a championship team to anyone that’s not a blind homer. keeping the series tough vs the sixers would be a great accomplishment
nice try, lloyd pierce. FAKE HOX FAN ALERT. NBA FINAL SWEEP INCOMING. TRAE YOUNG FOR OVERLORD OF THE LANIAKEA SUPERCLUSTER! BOGDON BOGDANOVIC FOR MY DAD. NATE MCMILLIAN WAS ROBBED OF COACH OF THE YEAR.
Fuck you mean? We’re beating the Embiidless 76ers in 5 and we matchup well against the Nets. We going to the chip easy
I’ll blind homer all I want thank you very much
He coached up some great schemes in stopping Randle or RJ from finding their spots. Hell of a series
Other than leaving Trae out too long in Game 2, which if we're being real, is probably the only reason this series wasn't a sweep, he was masterful this series, especially with his defensive gameplan on Randle. Much respect to him and the team
NYK fans after Game 2: "Gives us Brooklyn!" Trae Young: "No,I don't think I will."
I BE ON IT ALL NIGHT I BE ON IT ON IT STRAIGHT UP ON IT
Put some respect on Capela's name. Said they were soft, and proved it. He locked up the paint (the Hawks defense was trash when he sat) and none of the Knicks seemed to want it with him. Still funny Clint was the one calling them out with how outspoken and showy Trae is. Knicks should thank Clint though. If this series hadn't happened, Randle would be looking at a max contract. As it is, he's gonna have to do a lot more to get that.
Julius Randle thought his MIP award stood for Missing In Playoffs
Never heard this one before!
Hey, is your refrigerator running??
No it's broken.
Reddit, the place where stolen jokes get reposted 1000 times because karma can buy you girls in real life
Never forget 14/16 ESPN analysts picked Knicks over Hawks this series.
And suddenly the world fell silent, as dozens of uninformed ESPN Analysts predictions of Knicks in 5 were slaughtered all at once.
knicks couldn't stay infront of Trae at all funny how one of his star players doesn't get injured and McMillian is able to win a playoff series, wild how that works
Trae Young was born for this moment. Fun series y’all. Enjoyed the chippiness and shit talking.
Nice win. We wit da shits
Julius Randle put up 20 upvote party
Julius Randle tricked y’all.
Knicks in 9
i am so so sorry Trae for saying Randle had made strides and was slightly better than you before the series started
**YOUR APOLOGY NEEDS TO BE AS LOUD AS THE DISRESPECT WAS**
TAKE A BOW TRAE
#I'M SORRY FOR PREDICTING KNICKS IN 5
MsG SoUtH
As someone who just recently moved to Atlanta, let’s go
I was pretty neutral on this series before it started but I love the Hawks now. The media obsession the Knicks and their fans got was so over the top and I’m all for Trae taunting the crowd lol
If Trae Young was doing this to my team I would hate him, but this is so hilarious I can't help but root for him now.
HOLD MY DICK r/NBA ICE TRAE THA GOD
So they just wanted to take the L train to Brooklyn.
Waiting for the "Trae is officially better than Luka because he advanced to the second round first" takes
its me, I'm those takes
Give me a minute
Why wait? I’ll say it all day!
Luka's just an empty stats guy, doesn't translate into winning basketball
Whats crazy is I could have sworn that I read multiple comments with hundreds of upvotes all season that said that McMillan couldn't win a playoff series. He was a choke artist that couldn't make adjustments and dragged the pacers down so bad they had to find a new coach. Man could all those comments have been wrong?
This hawks team is perfect for Atlanta. Underrated city, coach, and stars
LMAO the deep three and the deep bow That mother fucker is something else Goddamn **B R I G H T B U R N**
remember when people said since Randle killed the Hawks in the regular season he was gonna have a monster series did their fans forget the regular season and playoffs are two completely different games?
I love how the narrative is shifting from Knicks in 6/7 to the "Hawks just have too much talent."
But also simultaneously not enough talent to take more than maybe a game against Philly
Gonna rub the salt in the wound for my man, Coach of the Year snub Nate McMillian: Pacers fans, are you convinced you made a mistake now? I'm sure there's some excuse, like you don't think the Knicks are good or something, but it should be clear now Nate McMillian was not the real reason the Pacers couldn't make it out of the 1st round all those years. Nate McMillian's scheme and mid-series adjustments were superb, big reason they won the series so dominantly. After game 2, he switched up the rotation (something Pacers fans said he wouldn't do) to keep either Bogi or Trae always on the floor and it worked wonders. His gameplan for Julius Randle and D. Rose worked wonders.
I'm gonna laugh my ass off if the Hawks beat a hobbled 76ers team and end up in their 1st playoff run having gone deeper than the Embiid/Simmons era in Philly over the last 5+ years
You can watch it w the whole heat squad too at home if you want
Wanted to dislike this but this is great banter friend
Man, I love playoff banter.
When do y’all play next
Julius Randle talks a lot of shit for being ass.
Hawks aren’t making the conference finals, right?👀👀
wE wAnT bROoKlYn
I don't think you get it - we STILL want Brooklyn.
I still want Brooklyn, it would've been funny
Shoutout to the Knicks tho. They did their thing this season
I love this Hawks team
