LOL@taking credit for thinking Roy would be better than Shelden. That was a pretty bold prediction. Yi sucks BTW.

Boston blew the Hawks out twice in Boston and blew us out 4 times there in the playoffs. They played one regular season game at Phillips at the end of the season and the Hawks were winning when Boston pulled their starters. Cassell then came in and outsocred the Hawks in a meaningless 4th quarter.

Do you realize that the Hawks would have to win a game on the Cavs court to have "more than decent chance" to win the series? There is no evidence that they can.

I can't think of one good think about this game. We lack leadership, personality, and talent to play the good teams on the road. This one was a disaster. We lost by 6 when we should've lost by 25. That's how bad we played. Bibby has been really bad lately. I wonder if I really was right when I said we should keep him. JJ was alright but those TOs are unacceptable. Mo Evans had another decent game. J. Smith came down to earth with his dumb plays. I find it so crazy that people here think J. Smith is great with his high flying dunks and all, then I watch a guy like Varejao, who is a role player, but is BY FAR more efficient for his team. Horford needs to get more touches. We can't rely on jump shots. Flip had a horrible game when it comes to taking care of the ball. It wasn't until the end he got something done. Overall, it was a horrible game and now we know, IF we get to the 2nd round, we have a good shot at being swept.
GO HAWKS.

Hawks dont have the luxory to start a guy like Varejao who is that limited offensively. they struggle enough on offense.

Yi is god awful and he's also more than likely 24. He can't hold Horford's jock strap.

We are an awful road team, the Cavs are the best home team in the league, and it was an early tip-off; this one was destined to be ugly. I'm glad we didn't lose by more. Hopefully we can forget this ever happened and come right back home and keep playing well.

I don't buy the Bibby hate right now. He has been awful over the past two weeks, but when you live almost exclusively off the jumper on offense that's going to happen. Let's wait and see how he closes out the regular season before we decide that he's such a scrub. Honestly, I think Woody should think about resting him quite a bit here down the stretch, we need him to get his legs back so he can come back and give us a much-needed threat from the perimeter to take pressure off of Joe.

If Bibby is still tired and cold come the playoffs we could very well lose to the Heat but I doubt it. All the hate that has suddenly come upon this team is uneeded. We won 7 in a row, sure they were at home but we still beat some pretty good teams. The cavs are the best at home and the Hawks are still unproven and young, for everyone to expect us to come at beat this team is very nieve. Sure we got blown out in the first 3 quarters but for us to show that we care, and actually come back and make it somewhat of a game in the end, is pretty amazing. There wasnt anything good that came out of this game, except we showed some toughness late. Its so easy to nit pick here and I understand it but I guess us being atlanta fans weve waited so long for something good to come our way thatt every lost and bad thing that happens, we take seriously and critic every little thing. Every team has a bad game, and for the Hawks to ahve that bad game on maybe one of the biggest games of the year for them sucks. WE all need to be patient

On another note, I still have no clue why Big Al doesnt get more touches?! It doesnt make any sense to me. What
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.

I'm a Cavs fan first and a Mavs fan second but Hawks are def my 3rd favorite team to watch. The NBA need more Hawks games on national tv in the future. GG!

I said that the hawks would beat the celtics in 6 games, does that count?

Return to Atlanta Hawks
