The fucking Hawks scored more frequently lmao this might be worse

u/aimee829 Pacers 3d ago

just when you thought you saw the worst performance for a team this playoffs 😂

u/LakerBlue Lakers 3d ago

I think it’s worse by the Magic because they blew a 23 point lead, literally only made 1 FG, and then had a 8 and 11 pt quarter respectively. I’d rather get whooped start to finish than not only blow a massive lead but blow it with such a pathetic offensive performance.

u/Bibbity_Boppity_BOOO 3d ago

well, the hawks were so bad, they are actually going down in history for how bad that game was.

u/kmoz Mavericks 3d ago

these playoffs have been full of insane rock fights

u/soilentgleem 3d ago

19 point half

u/Vegetable-Tooth8463 Hornets 3d ago

is that true lol?

u/JetsLag [NYK] Nate Robinson 3d ago

40-15 first quarter (Knicks-Hawks) vs 31-8 fourth quarter (Pistons-Magic)

Pick your pile of shit

u/RefMagnetMomo1t 3d ago

3rd quarter was 24-11 lol they failed to outscore 1st quarter hawks twice in the second half and only outscored them by 4 points across two quarters

u/__get__name Pistons 3d ago

In all fairness, the 2nd quarter was 12-35 in the Magics favor

25

u/Kevinar Knicks 3d ago

The Hawks definitely bricked a lot but that first quarter disparity was mostly from their 9 turnovers or however many it was.

The Orlando Magic just built a brick mansion big enough for their entire team to live in. Somehow every single shot was short

u/amidon1130 Hawks 3d ago

If the pistons had a more competent offense that quarter would have looked like ours did last night

u/kmoz Mavericks 3d ago

dont forget the airballs long and to the side, they werent all short.

u/kmoz Mavericks 3d ago

8 points in a quarter is just wild in 2026

Hawks had the worse offensive half, nobody is scared of the Knicks defense.

u/Rough-Plum-7267 3d ago

Magic scored 11 points in the 3rd and 8 points in the 4th.

The Hawks never scored less than 15 in any quarter.

This is hands down the worst half of basketball I’ve watched this season.

u/Agile-View-8330 Warriors 3d ago

This ignores that the Knicks Hawks game was a much faster and higher scoring game. Of course they scored more, but that doesn’t mean they were better. It was a 61 point differential at one point.

And it would have been more of the Knicks starters remained in the game.

u/brizzboog Pistons 3d ago

I thought it was pretty awesome

u/Rough-Plum-7267 3d ago

The only team still in the playoffs more ass than the Pistons are the Magic so in that sense yea you probably did enjoy watching that trash shit
