Its funny whats happened now that with injuries, he is rightfully the second option on offense, which he should be all the time.

I also like his rebounding the last game and a half.

Murray played that half like he has brain damage. Wow that was horrible.

The Hawks had 12 turnovers that half which is a joke but other than that didn't play too bad. It is a shame Solomon can't hold onto the ball.

Horford received a pass on the pick and roll 2 possessions in a row. I think that is a first.

Marvin has 8 rebounds already.

This is a disgrace. The Highlight Factory has turned into the Turnover Factory.

Why is Bibby playing so far off of DJ Augustine? Crazy, just crazy! Letting the dude shoot wide open 3's!

interesting that Augustine didn't have the faith to drive on that possession against Bibby. Instead he tried to work off of a pick and marvin got switched onto him. Marvin stayed in front of him long enough that the Hawks got a turnover on the possession. No clue why the bobcats were trying to get the ball to felton on that play...

They won a game they deserved to lose. When you make that many dumb turnovers and get lit up by rookie you don't deserve to win. But it counts anyway.

Not surprised to see an ugly game tonight. The 'Cats always hang around against us. I thought we played good defense and shot the jumper fairly well, but we have no inside game whatsoever right now.

Nice to see Joe finally getting some calls. He was getting hacked like crazy early and there were no whistles. But after a few more hacks he started to finally get to the line.

A few things about tonight's game:

1. D.J. Augustin is everything I dreamed Law would be. He's a PG. He can drive and dish, likes contact even though he's short and small, can handle the ball very well, and still can shoot.

2. JJ finally received some love from the home crowd. It was very nice to see some people chanting MVP.

3. Marvin is getting better. I like the intensity specially on the defensive end. I just wonder why so many players only do that in contract years.

4. Horford had that MONSTER dunk, that was it. He was a bit lost. I hope he's ready cause tomorrow we'll need him against Big Z, Big ben, and Varejao.

5. Murray was horrible. I hate when players get out of control as he did, and the coach just watches it. I wish Woodson had learned this lesson a bit better. L. Brown doesn't hesitate to take players out of the game. I love it.

6. I've been wondering if J. Smith is our best and only post play. This team can't find anyone down there to score. It makes us a jump shooting team, and stats tell you that you won't find much success playing that way, so we better play great D.
GO HAWKS.

Didn't get to see the game but the numbers look ugly.

A win is still a win though - Joe always torches the Cats.

I hate the Cats.

DJ Augustin looked like Isaiah Thomas last night. And I can't imagine how many times they ran that same play where DJ blew past the defense, faked the layup to make Horf or Solo to bite then dished it to a bigman for a completely wide open dunk.

Of course this is the same team that made Westbrook look like a legit franchise point guard. I expect Mo Williams to do the same tonight.
