We have a great opportunity to host Game 5 and potentially Game 7 at the Highlight Factory. The Hawks faithful have supported the team wonderfully this year at home. But we need to get ‘all the way turnt up’ in the ATL for Game 5.
When Kyle Korver drains a three, explode in excitement. Every time the Nets set up their half-court offense, we all need to scream DE-FENSE!, DE-FENSE! at the top of our lungs. The Sixth Man needs to aggressively wear on Brooklyn early and often. Just because it’s a breeze flying into Hartsfield-Jackson doesn’t mean you’re welcome in Atlanta, Brooklyn Nets.
Atlanta takes so much flak from the national media as a fair-weathered, transient city. But the 2014-15 Atlanta Hawks have taken the city by storm and commanded our undivided attention. In a time of need, the Hawks deserve our help in defeating the Nets in Game 5. If things start to go sideways for Coach Bud’s team, the Atlanta Hawks can look to the home crowd for the boost they desperately need. You’ve earned it. Now we will do our part to unleash the hostility in the land of southern hospitality.
Game 5 begins at 7PM ET tomorrow night. LET’S GO HAWKS!!!
