That rotation was way too tight. When you are up 30 for a good part of the game and you only play 8 guys that's a problem. Hauser only played 11 minutes.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Very Ime-esque.Surprised Grant didn’t play at all.

Recovering from gallbladder surgery so only caught thr second half , great result! TPs for all

At least you had some pain medication to take during that 2nd half.

Yup I was just glad that the lead didn't drop below 10, otherwise they may have needed to give me more

Don't get me wrong, there's obviously a ton of stress and risks of a heart attack.

But I'm glad playoff basketball is back. And hockey playoffs too 

Fun time of the year in general overall

And it's only just begun!

We have a really deep team. There is no reason for Tatum to be playing 40 minutes this early in the playoffs. Horford 38...etc... When you're up 30 you need to bring hungry guys off the bench to keep the energy up.

Woo hoo baby !

Going to put on sum Marvin Gaye and chill

Like the result, hate the rotation. Going to burn out by ECF/Finals

So I'll acknowledge, it was a Saturday afternoon. Most of us have lives to live.

But is this one of the lowest active postseason threads on here? We managed just 23 pages.

Not that it's a bad thing, but I found that surprising. I checked last year's first round Game 1 and we got 60+ pages

Last year was on Easter Sunday against the Nets with KD, Kyrie, and Ben Simmons in Game 1 and JT had that legendary game-winning shot.

Failed to catch the game live but will watch the replay in a bit. This is one thing that struck me when i saw the boxscore. The starters played a lot of minutes, considering the game was pretty much a blowout? I hope this is sustainable. GWill getting a DNP  was surprising.

Yeah, it’s been my philosophy for a long time:  if you can’t trust a guy to play when you’re up 30;, then he shouldn’t be on the roster.  Sticking to an 8 man rotation when up by 32 is asinine.

So do people really think the Hawks are "meh"? Meaning they don't give them any chance lol

Also Ben Simmons was glued to the bench that entire series

I think we’ll win the series but the Hawks might get a game or two?

I don’t give the Hawkes a realistic shot.  I was hoping for the Heat, so that we’d get punched in the face and quickly get accustomed to playoff basketball.

I worried we’d get complacent against the Hawks. It only took two quarters.  Hopefully that doesn’t carry over into future rounds.
