If they can get a 3 ..

[Walt Cronkite]

Well, if we get a score and another defensive stop I guess we have a chance still. Critical FTs for Ray.

[Walt Cronkite]

Defensive stop is crucial!!!

Interesting decision to have Okafor shadowing Joe Cool there. My cable is glitching out because it does that if I try to watch specific channels while the DVR is recording something else, but it looked like pretty good defense.

I would let any of the bobcats shoot me with a gun cause I know they would . . .

[BigSlam]

Ho Hum.

[99problems]

Okafor is such a pansy. He tries a fade away layup from Josh Smith and gets stuffed. Go up strong you loser

Another loss for the Cats. Nine fourth quarter points.

[SteveMorrison15]

Can I vote Hawks players for the hammers???

[Walt Cronkite]

Last team to score wins: WE WIN!!

Only 11 4th qtr points. Diaw kept us in this game and I was happy with his play. More rebounds would have helped, but Oh Well. We would have won this had DJ and Ray had any decent shooting night AT ALL. 9/28 sucks. DJ usually gets to the FT line several times, and had 0 FT's tonight. Any night at all from them and we would have won. We let this one get away.

Get Carroll or Morrison out there to shoot the rest of the shots.

Any idea why Hammer plyed half the 1st half and nothing in the second half?

Yes the offense looked pretty stagnant at times but i think the lack of 3 points shooters really hurt them. The best opportunities were on drive but the lane was clogged and the little guys (and the bigs too actually) were getting blocked left and right by Horford and Smith.

Often someone would get the ball open at the 3 point line only to pass it or they would be losing a few precious seconds before launching a bad shot. The only one who looked capable of making a 3 yesterday was Raymon Felton.

Once Bell regains some confindence i think it will help in that department. More generally I think confidence is obviously a very big problem when you are on such long losing streak so today's game is a must and winnable too and i'd like to have a look at Dj vs Derrick. With the Bulls poor frontcourt hopefully Diaw continues to be agressive and if they can get the ball to Emeka a lot of points could come from the paint.
