YES let's do this. Need to take back our home court advantage and hopefully that happens tonight. Lets see if Atlanta can get as loud as NY - I doubt it, but Hawks will be fired up to hear their home crowd knowing they stole 1 in NY.

Need to start the game better this time. Randle has to assert himself and play better early in the game.

Lineups announced yet? Are we gonna have to watch 4 bad minutes of Elf again?

“All you’ve heard about for the last week is how great and how loud MSG is, how crazy their fans are, how it’s great to have New York basketball back,” Hawks guard Kevin Huerter said. “Blah, blah, blah. We are ready to get back in front of our fans and hear them and flip the script a little bit.”

Sounds like they're growing to loathe us- must say Huerter's nickname of "Red Velvet" is one of the worst I've ever heard! I do worry about his shooting though

Red Velvet is pretty terrible. I think Huerter is from Albany and grew up a Knicks fan. Probably hard for him to be on the wrong side of it - feeling jealous!

If we are planning to win this series we have to win one of the next two games. We cannot go back to NY down 3 games to 1. It will also mess up the Hawks plans. Nate told them to win one in NY to win the series. Now he is telling them to protect the homecourt. Sounds like a plan. That's where we come in and spoil everything for them . They are also expecting big things from the crowd in Atlanta. Well, surprise mofo! I expect it not to be not like NY. I also expect quite a few Knicks fans in attendance, hehe

Just start Frank for 5 minutes. We need Rose fresh and we need the fire power off the bench to change the pace of the game.

It does feel good that no one in New York cares about the Nets and they can’t give tickets away. Good choice boys!

Man 7pm game and still no lineup

There have been rumors that Payton starting may have been written into his contract. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but if Payton starts tonight, I am going to be a believer

Allanfan20 @ 5/28/2021 6:38 PM
Gibson and Rose are starting.

Clyde sounding a little emotional sitting at half court - got me worried he was about to announce his retirement!

Let's go!

ramtour420 @ 5/28/2021 7:10 PM
I expect VA big game from Quickly. He needs a breakout game, he is due for one.

I felt like they teased getting to that a couple of times this season.

Haha MSG feed cuts away from Atlanta player intros
VDesai @ 5/28/2021 7:13 PM
Rose in on merit. Gibson in mainly bc it sound like Noel's injury could limit him. Pelle and Frank may yet see some time.

What's with all the unexplained stoppages?
