Lets keep it positive in here. Horribly played 4th but we won against a top tier team. Is Dwight starting to get some LeBron and Kobe type calls?
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.

Josh Smith pulls out the most exciting play of the season after a frustrating / ugly game. Joe Johnson can be so annoying to watch when he hogs the ball and ignores open teammates. It seems clear that Woody is not going to change our 4th quarter approach.

This win would be a positive if the Hawks actually watched film and found out what they are doing wrong in the 4th. The Hawks had 1 assist in the 4th quarter and that came with 10 minutes left. They had no assist last night in the 4th and no assists tonight after Joe checked in. Woody also took Smith out the game when they were up 8 and didn't bring him back in until they cut the lead down to 1. I have no idea what he was saving him for.

Another thing that frustrates me about basketball in general(because it's not just Woodson)is not fouling when you are up 3 and the other team is out of timeouts. I can't believe there are still coaches who haven't learned this concept in 2010.

great game by Bibby. If Horford can hit those open 15 foot jumper, i think the Hawks can do okay against the Magic in a playoff series.

Didn't y'all know by now we can't win or lose a game by more or less than 5 pts from here on out, get used to it. :lol:

Josh FTW Baby! :clap:

I believe that ending was the most shown highlight of the Hawks on ESPN during the last 5 years. kudos.

I hope someone within the organization reads that story. Wake up, Hawks

This game shows why I really want M. Woodson gone. We can't score with this offense no matter what. You have JJ pounding the ball for an entire game against a guy who's at least as big and strong as him. We couldn't break our drought untill, listen to that, J. Smith hit a baseline jump shot. It was nice to see Horford hitting those jump shots, why we went away from it, well, maybe Woodson likes JJ pounding the ball for 20 secs better. Anyway, I still think we should fight as hard as we can to avoid Cleveland. I think ours chances of beating the Magic in a 7 game series are very slim, but we wouldn't get swept. Against the Cavs that's a very different story.
GO HAWKS.
