“We gotta win the trenches… I think that's what it was all about.”
Jonathan Kuminga (19 PTS) & CJ McCollum (32 PTS) after Atlanta's comeback win on the road in Game 2!
Series tied 1-1... Game 3: Thursday, 7pm/et on Prime 🍿
CJ McCollum: “I am no villain. I'm a nice guy with two kids and a wife. I think it's admiration. Great passionate fans in a really hostile environment. It’s fun. It’s basketball. It’s the playoffs. If anything, I think it's a sign of respect.”
The nastiest CJ McCollum victory over the Bucks this season wouldn’t be the game winners with Washington or the (effectively) season ender with Atlanta - but knocking the Knicks out in the first round so Jimmy Dolan fires & trades everything not nailed down + The Sphere for Giannis…
CJ McCollum says he's gotta get back in the gym and tighten some things up "If I make my fucking free throws..."

CJ McCollum coming to Atlanta in the Trae Young trade means via the transitive property he’s still terrorizing the New York Knicks
thinking about the time cj mccollum and i talked about volcanic soil, the man knows his wine and he knows his moments
It was a wild one, but the Hawks just stole Game 2 and home-court advantage in the series.
Atlanta trailed by as many as 14 in the 2nd half and by 12 after 3 quarters.
32 points for CJ McCollum, who is suddenly quite popular in New York.
Breakdown to come on the Locked On Hawks Podcast.
The poetry of the Hawks dealing Knicks-killer Trae Young for CJ McCollum just for McCollum to play the same damn role against them is pretty incredible.
Helluva game by Kuminga in a huge moment -- 35 minutes, 7-of-12 shooting for 19 points, +10
And CJ McCollum, wowza
My roommate: does not care about basketball, like at all
Also my roommate: EXTREMELY EXCITED to see Sam Morril in the background of the post-game CJ McCollum interview. As psyched as I've seen him
CJ McCollum. New York City villain. How does it feel?
"I'm not a villain man I'm just here to compete"
CJ McCollum vs Jalen Brunson
The initial between the legs crossover beat Brunson, then another crossover while Brunson was trying to recover to the first led to the blow by.
Weeks ago I had a feeling that whoever the Hawks played in the postseason, there would be one game where CJ McCollum would win them a game. This was that game.
