the Hawks got a lot of trash last night.... lmao

I wouldn't be surprised if Barkley loses his endorsement from WW

First half I thought Cole was awesome, but in the 3rd quarter he was out of control, and Rio got it going, so Spo went with the hot hand.

Good thing about having them both is we can do this.

Yup. Rio got serious after that Celtics game. He's elevated his game. I also think his role in the system is what affects his stat line. I don't know how many people thought Rio was capable of ballin' out like he did last night. I was a big fan of his last season, and I damn sure didn't think he had it in him. He was finishing around the rim well. Cole's gotta take notes on that reverse layup, because it's how Mario avoids getting his **** swatted a lot.

The same bonehead mistakes were evident last night, but Rio pulled out a pretty slick offensive game. His handle is noticeably better than last year. A lot of layups, some midrange, some 3's, showed good command of the offense, and even grabbed a good number of rebounds. I was very impressed because I'd always imagined he was playing near his capacity with the Big3, but he's really not. He should be that aggressive all the time, because he's shooting well.

Cole needs to focus on facilitating more, because he's just going out there gunning all the time now. He needs to use his dribble penetration to setup some of those slick passes he showed off in the scrimmage. That'll keep guys honest and on their man, and he won't have to shoot over all those hands in the paint. I also found it interesting that he defended Joe Johnson for a good number of possessions. With that size mismatch, I don't know if JJ did anything. PEACE.

Rio should penetrate more even with LBJ and Wade there.... gives teams more problems and worries.

ATL didn't even expect Rio to drive. They thought only LBJ and Wade only do that on the team

Why the hell would he lose his endorsement?

He just said its a joke that someone would pay him to lose weight... like its a joke someone pays him to watch Basketball.

According to ESPN, since the start of the 2007-08 season, Bosh is 6 of 10 on 3-pointers in the final 10 seconds of fourth quarters or overtime in one-possession games.

Clutch! I remmeber him hitting a big on last year too.

Sorry, didnt watch the game.

Why did Cole play limited minutes? Did he suck?

You missed the best game of the season thus far, even though it was ugly.

But Cole was VERY wild out there. EVeryone from this forum, to the announcers were saying Cole had to calm it down. He was going too fast and kept turning the ball over. He was trying to do so much.

There was a stretch where him and Pittman came in and they made a run and it was great energy. But other than that, Mario was having a better night and if you look at the box score, you can see why he stayed.

Mario still made some dumb decisions but he really helped in this win.

Chalmers 3 point ability is much better than Cole, and I'm starting to think it's going to give Chalmers the edge in late game situations.

It was after the Boston game where he got benched, that Rio has been ON FIRE.

And hey guys, "Since the start of the 2007 season, Bosh is now 6-for-10 from long range in the last 10 seconds of the 4th quarter/overtime of a tie or one-possession game."

my cousin who is'nt even a hawks fan was going off on me when we went down by 5 in the last minute i had already started telling him that the hawks should be ashamed that they came within 3 of losing to our bench but he would'nt let up so i said ok watch one of our guys hit a 3 after the commercial break and just how i called it bosh made the 3 what i also liked was how he said it's only 10 secs left in the game(he does'nt know basketball too much) so i told him 10 secs is a huge amount of time in basketball and about an hour later when we finally won i said see what that 10 secs turned into
