PLAY KEVIN KNOX YOU COWARDS

[–]SeemsPlausible 363 points364 points  (6 children)

Second highest points scored on the Hawks today in 4 minutes of play lmao

[–]HeatFolk_Herro 152 points153 points  (4 children)

I've always been high on Knox just for his shooting, despite his flaws. I'll legit just give him 12-15 mins a game and tell him if he pass up a shot, he's benched.

[–][deleted] 101 points102 points  (0 children)

This is how Duncan got paid. Shooters shoot.

[–]KnickschunkyI0ver53 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Bro what his going on with his 4-6 minute scoring explosions lately, he’s gonna be averaging 70ppg per 36

[–]SiegeJones 1655 points1656 points  (60 children)

Other team: 20 point run

Nate McMillian: substitution? Nah, we got them right where we want them. Now let me cross my arms and give off the appearance of a resolute confidence.

[–]HeatYouStillTakeDamage 961 points962 points  (29 children)

Spo, on the other hand, called a timeout the moment we let the Hawks get two consecutive buckets lmao

[–]HawksBudlight_year 718 points719 points  (10 children)

while up 20 😭😭

[–]Heat302born 501 points502 points  (8 children)

Dude has PTSD from all of our blown leads this year. Hell from last game. Two consecutive baskets and he starts getting Nam flashbacks.

[–][MIA] James PoseyBrochacho27 210 points211 points  (5 children)

Ive never been so happy to see a timeout. No funny business 😂

[–]Heat302born 77 points78 points  (3 children)

Oh yeah. Start of the 4th my confidence was about 60%. A come back wouldn’t have surprised me in the least. Thankfully they kinda gave up about 3 minutes in.

[–][MIA] Alonzo MourningOde1st 35 points36 points  (2 children)

Yep, it’s hard trying to explain to non-Heat fans or Heat casuals that if we’re up like 17+, I’m sometimes more nervous than if we were only up like 10

[–]TimberwolvesHabefiet 44 points45 points  (1 child)

Also wouldn't surprise me if some coaches saw the Wolves blow two 20+ leads and were like "nope nope none of that for us"

[–][deleted] 238 points239 points  (3 children)

Lmao yup. Heat were up 25 Heat took 2 pretty bad shots and Hawks answered both with makes. Went to a 21 point game and Spo immediately called timeout.

What’s cool about Spo is he won’t take a timeout even if the opponent is going on a 8-0 run as long as we’re playing good D and taking good shots. Sometimes you miss and they make, and that’s the way it is. He doesn’t overreact to that stuff.

But when he sees 2 bad offensive possessions and 2 bad defensive possessions that leads to a 4-0 “run” he’ll call that Timeout.

[–]HeatShiny_metal_ass 109 points110 points  (2 children)

If you watch enough Heat games you know exactly when he's going to call one, you can just feel it

[–]HeatTiconderoga2HB 54 points55 points  (1 child)

Deadass lmao, I was like “oop, that was ugly spo finna shut that down” and sure enough 😂😂

[–]QUEST50012 99 points100 points  (10 children)

Loosely related, but I always love the "Opposition makes a small run, but coach still angrily calls a timeout and makes sure to walk motherfuckerly at least 10 feet past the bench as his players walk the opposite direction" play

[–]HeatFastbird33 25 points26 points  (8 children)

Spo will walk to the other sideline whilst calling timeout when he’a really pissed

[–]HeatShiny_metal_ass 21 points22 points  (5 children)

He'll walk to mid court during game play if he's really pissed

[–]Hawksbraggpeak 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yea but Spo actually has good adjustments to offer. Nate just offers bs like ”gotta get stops!!”

[–]Heat302born 330 points331 points  (3 children)

It was 29-37 at one point. We ended the quarter 55-41. Not one timeout from Nate lol. Idk why but uhh thanks coach lol

He made 2 deep, his first shot of the 1st quarter and his 1st shot of the 3rd quarter

Trae is averaging 16 ppg and the same amount of turnovers as assists

[–]Kaldricus 275 points276 points  (2 children)

[–]HeatCanesjags4life 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Max Struss 4-16 12 pts lol

[–]Mavericks-Acerin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He played 1 good quarter whole playoffs.

[–]HeatMySilverBurrito 495 points496 points  (27 children)

Heat small ball is nutty.

If somebody at start of season told me "Strus and Gabe would take over Dunc/Herro minutes in the playoffs. Oh and BOTH are great defenders". I would laugh. Jesus christ, they're so good.

Dipo getting great minutes is awesome to see. Didnt score much but his defense is still there and it showed. Not to mention he still has his speed AND throwing bullet point passes off kickouts.

Trae I stg isnt even looking for good 3 looks most of the time. Just launching deep 3s for no reason.

[–]iRedditPhone 149 points150 points  (10 children)

Dude. Strus was practically making circus shots.

[–]HeatMySilverBurrito 129 points130 points  (5 children)

There was one stepback he did in the early 4th.

He had absolute 0 reason to do that, but he made it. Nothing but net lol.

[–]HeatSeref15 42 points43 points  (1 child)

Strus looked like he was cooking but the numbers say otherwise lol. I guess the baskets he made came at great moments.

[–]HeatRepulsive-Slice2234 15 points16 points  (1 child)

You haven't talked to any Bulls or Celtics fans? He always makes those shots!

[–][MIA] LeBron JamesEphinem 57 points58 points  (6 children)

Gabe is not taking Tyler’s minutes lol.

[–]HeatMySilverBurrito 49 points50 points  (3 children)

Tonight's game he did. Tyler was a road cone and team needed defense.

[–][MIA] LeBron JamesEphinem 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Gabe was in there as a primary ball handler he was given most of Lowrys minutes and Dipo got gabes

Trae Young 🔥 - 7/33 21% 3Pointers This Series

[–]Sweatytubesock 140 points141 points  (6 children)

It might help if he took fewer dumbass shit ‘dagger’ shots.

[–]Heat302born 82 points83 points  (1 child)

It’s relatively the only “good look” he can get. Once he gets past the 3pt line he’s got like three guys staring in his face ready to help. Him chucking and praying is all we’re giving him

Is it time to bench Trae Young and let Kevin Knox take over? Next on Undisputed.

[–]HeatDevilsbullet 157 points158 points  (3 children)

Was fun watching him get PJ switched off him only for it to be bam, call for another screen... Jimmy, and just give up😂

League fucked

[–]HeatDancezWithMoose 339 points340 points  (1 child)

He was +24 in 14 minutes at one point, while shooting 1-6. Fuck yeah Dipo

[–]HeatA_RedditAccount 173 points174 points  (0 children)

Yeah man, he was great. The defense was ridiculous, and he was getting by dudes at will for the drive & kick...the scoring is coming.

Back rimmed a couple shots and probably could've forced the issue on a couple of the drives instead of kicking, but couldn't be happier with his first foray in the playoffs with us, all things considered.

[–]Heatklydon24 226 points227 points  (2 children)

Him coming into the game totally changed the momentum. Loved everything he did even if the shot was off.

[–]Heat302born 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I wanted him to hit a three so bad. After what he did for the team tonight he absolutely deserved to see 2-3 of those shots go through.

[–]NBAfightnight14 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Home Dipo

[–]Celticssanikstrafe4 548 points549 points  (47 children)

It straight up sounded like a Heat home game in there

[–][MIA] Hassan Whitesidecagoentuputamadre 86 points87 points  (13 children)

The surprising thing is that game 3 didn’t seem to have many Heat fans. You can always hear the Heat fans in Atlanta during the regular season.

[–]Heatpjdog 318 points319 points  (20 children)

And just two threads ago, Hawks fans were claiming their stadium would be more full. Yeah more full of heat fans

[–]HeatZuexy 397 points398 points  (24 children)

Jimmy Butler this regular season ➡️ playoffs:

You’ve heard of the Ming Dynasty now let me introduce you to the Mean Dynasty

[–][deleted] 298 points299 points  (10 children)

My favorite possession of the game:

Trae Young guarded by Gabe Vincent

Calls for a screen and Victor Oladipo switched on to him

Calls for another screen and Bam Adebayo switches on

Deep chuck and misses

[–]Heatclear831 72 points73 points  (1 child)

He did that with a few different combinations 5 times tonight lol

[–]lemonpepperlarry 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One time he went from pj to bam to struts and he thought he had his mark. Then strus also locked his ass up and I’m pretty sure he just gave up from there

[–]ScipioFloridanus 37 points38 points  (5 children)

This kinda sums up the series. It's a really bad matchup for Trae. The Heat have about five guys who can really make him work for his shots.

[–]Hawksnbasuperstar40 14 points15 points  (1 child)

They got more than five guys but I get your point.

[–]HeatDevilsbullet 67 points68 points  (1 child)

[–]Heat302born 145 points146 points  (1 child)

KD esque

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

KD got a sweet 16

[–]Bullsms--chanandler--bong 54 points55 points  (27 children)

What is with these star players only having 11 shot attempts

[–]HeatgatorWRLD 154 points155 points  (13 children)

Celtics and Heat both employing a scheme of literally anybody but KD/Trae. And it works when the defense is good at recovering like both of them can. Shuts down their biggest sources of offense and exposes the terrible head coaches being carried by their elite talent.

[–]Heat302born 28 points29 points  (3 children)

Yup. It’s basically not allowing them to play 1v1 at any point. The Bucks got killed last year because KD was literally allowed to just play 1v1. You’re going to get killed every time like that. A lot of Traes game is high PnRs and getting the matchups he likes and abusing it. We’re basically doing the same thing the Celtics are doing. We have multiple guys that can defend Trae and trapping him on PnRs. Forcing his team to do something without him. And they aren’t.

[–]Heatjust4kix_305 16 points17 points  (2 children)

not even just that, when miami was on offense they put trae in every action and was targeted hard, so he was exhausted from that too.

[–]Bullsms--chanandler--bong 23 points24 points  (4 children)

Would love to see a Heat vs. Celtics ECF, the defensive battle would be a breath of fresh air

[–]Heatvsouto02 52 points53 points  (2 children)

The Heat doesn't let Trae drive to the rim, so he has to settle for 30 footers, which he isn't going to take at volume because even if he's good doesn't mean he's going to drain them at an efficient enough rate to create a viable offense.

So he has to make his teammates beat the Heat, only worked Friday night.

[–][PHI] James HardenFrequent-Meeting8975 24 points25 points  (1 child)

This is a more a testament to the Heat game plan and defense than Trae choking. Giannis had large struggles against this defense in last year also

[–]BucksRenDabs 81 points82 points  (4 children)

Probably just because the Hawks made a run last season, 1-8 matchups are usually cakewalks(which this matchup is looking like)

[–]AeroBlaze777 31 points32 points  (3 children)

Tbh the stars kinda aligned for the Hawks run last year. First round against the Knicks with Julius Randle not up to the challenge, second round against Philly with Ben Simmons ofc. This Heat team doesn’t have that same vibe as any of those teams. I doubt we can make it happen this year against this heat team.

Hawks just want to take turns trying to score. Heat are engaged in every aspect of the game. 0 chance you beat Miami if you're not willing to match their energy level.

Hell, even Nate seemed like he didn't care tn. Guy didn't even bother calling any timeouts, just let his squad get slaughtered. If whatever the Hawks were doing tn is his idea of an offensive scheme, he needs to go. I didn't see a single Trae/Capela PnR all game and they couldn't buy a bucket.

Can we just talk about how the heat have held the hawks under their season average in 4 straight game including games of 86 and 91. Atlanta averaged 113.9 a game and had the second best offensive rating in the NBA. Absolute masterclass defensively from the Miami Heat in this series just never letting Atlanta get comfortable

Like it’s easy for people to say that you guys are just ass and the worst team in the playoffs, but your offense is genuinely good. The heat have just been locked in and have made it super difficult for you guys to get into rhythm

clock winds down to 5 seconds left in game

ball is inbounded to Kevin Knox who turns face to face against Butler

"You took my family"

moves to the left

"You took my friends"

moves to the right

"You took all that was dear to me"

clock winds down to 2

"I cant get them back, but I can do this for friendship, FOR MY FRIENDS"

goes up, fire coming out of his shoes

"CARMELORUKEN"

Ball flies over Butler's head, goes straight into basket. Kevin Knox falls to the ground, exhausted.

"Capela... Senpai... I..."

faints

knox doesn’t have the stamina to play all 48 minutes. i think he could only play 40, which means a measly 120 pts.

"the heat might have the better team, but the hawks have the best player"

Well that game sucked lol. But I do like seeing Butler do well despite how he left the Wolves.

LETS GO HEAT!

As a hawks fan we got outclassed in every facet of the game. Coach spoelstra is kicking our ass his scheme against Trae is the best scheme I’ve ever seen run against him he’s completely been taken out the series from a playmaking and scoring standpoint it’s insane

[–]Neutral_Sports_Fan 147 points148 points  (19 children)

Jimmy G Buckets is averaging 30 points in the playoffs.

But the heat don't have a superstar though.

[–]Heatacam333 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Trae is the best player in the series though

[–]Heatturtledove21 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Trae best player in the series? bro had the Duncan Robinson statline

Let’s wrap this up Tuesday

[–]BullsButlerFromDowntown 32 points33 points  (2 children)

Throughout this entire series, it feels like people have been trying to make up reasons as to why this is actually a competitive series and why the Hawks will actually beat the Heat. Just look at the comments on the Capela returning post. This series just isn’t particularly competitive though. Heat are the way better team and I expect them to wrap this series up next game based off of how they’ve been playing.

Based on what people have been filling up the airwaves with, Capela turned into Shaq when his knee bent backwards.

He’s a good player but you would of thought he was going to single-handedly lock down the paint, get every rebound, and blow up the miami D based on his lob threat. Was bizarre how people morphed him into the best center of all time
