Lloyd got this team playing defense
DAWG...they were down six with six minutes to play, and just put on a CLINIC defensively, especially JC. Even The Huert Locker had a key block down the stretch.
I been goin to Hawks games since I moved here, was courtside when the Hawks set that NBA record for undefeated month (end of January 2016 or 2017)....but this iteration of the team DEFINITELY looks and feels different, even from that EC Finals team that year. Youth, energy, exuberance...and a bonafide closer and superstar in Ice.
I'm sayin 7th seed, yo....especially if the younger guys develop in and embrace their roles.
