    62-19!

    This is 10x worse than the Mavs beat down of the Suns in Phoenix a few years ago.

    I really, really hope our guys are taking notes. LA is gonna go for the jugular early like the Knicks have.

    We might be witnessing the biggest playoff beatdown in history. The record in modern NBA history is 2009. 121-63 by the Nuggets over the Hornets. 58 points.

    What’s the Atlanta coach going to tell his team at halftime?

    72-22. Has there ever been a 50-point 1st half lead in an NBA game?

    Know what would help Atlanta in a situation like this? A Top 5 scorer of all time.

    Know what wouldn't help? That NOP unprotected pick.

    Hawks have had a very successful season but the three consecutive beat downs to finish this series leave a lot of tarnish.

    Maybe they'll get lucky in the lottery with the unprotected Pels pick they got in the Derik Queen trade, one of the dumbest trades in recent history.

    For this game it doesn’t matter, but if a team loses by 35+ points, they should be eliminated from the playoffs, even if it’s the first game of the series.

    "I'm going to enjoy my vacation because y'all are already enjoying yours!"

    83-36 at the half. Atlanta has started the comeback!

    I can’t imagine paying for tickets to see a playoff game like this as a fan of the home team

    Can the Knicks crack a 100 point margin? More than halfway there.

    Losing a playoff game by 60 points early in the 3rd quarter.

    That is an all time can of quit, 123 Cancun doesn't even do it justice.

    Ooh… Hawks 7-0 run. Great timeout by NYK to stop the bleeding.
