First year of this team together, Love out for the season, Kyrie still not 100%, and we go win game 1 on the road.
Yes I started to sweat a bit in the final 6 minutes but I had zero doubt we'd win and I had zero concern about the Hawks retaking a lead.
-I don't care about how it looks or projects against GS
-I don't care about people's preference for what the offense should look like in the 4th qtr once a lead has been established.
All that matters is winning 4 games and getting to the next round. Win 1 is out of the way, now they can watch the tape, try to fix some things defensively, and come out greedy and determined to win game 2. I don't think this Hawks team can take us to a game 7, with our without Carroll.
