GT: Hawks (18-7) vs Rockets (19-6)

[HoneyNutCheerio]

I'm probably sounding like a bitch to you guys since both sides have homer glasses on, but it was just frustrating and I would appreciate if you just admit that you guys got all the damn calls especially in crunch time. Howard is getting hacked all game. Opposing PF's and C's would all have fouled out by halftime with the calls the Hawks got tonight.

[Hawkeyes]

Sportssouth once again left me with the Hornets. Hornets-Jazz, what a thriller. I used to get every Hawks game, but now only see them on the nights Charlotte isn't playing. I'll have to suck it up and get leaguepass. Didn't see the calls obviously, so I can't comment on them, but Hawks led 99% of this game and it would been a shame to lose it late. Great win on the road vs a team that had won their last 19 home games vs East opponents. This team continues to surprise and impress the fans. Opposing fans will continue to call them a treadmill team and point to winning streaks they had with Mike Woodson, Joe Johnson, and Josh Smith in town, but all the Hawks can do is keep winning.

Awesome game tonight. The calls definitely went our way, but I find it hard to pity the Rockets who have come accustomed to seeing Harden get his way 90% of the time. And for as many times as it feels the Hawks have gotten screwed by penalties towards the end of the game, I'm not going to apologize for the whistle blowing in our favor tonight.

But yeah... that Terry travel was definitely a bad call...

If "Dwight Howard wasn't pushing, he was just leaning with his arms" is a argument here, I don't think any logic or fact will tear through that homerism. Lets just say Pero didn't change directions in the air by himself and Al Horford didn't launch himself into Jason Terry.

Your team lost to a better team tonight, simple as that.

No you are coming off sounding like someone who came to another teams board to complain and troll.

I'll freely admit that we got ref love tonight but at the same time I don't think there were any egregious calls that were made/missed. I think the biggest benefit to us is that Harden was looking to pass and thus didn't get the insane amount of whistles he usually gets.

And that Terry was called for a travel he never did, but Milsap wasn't. And when Harden looked to score he got hammered. No call.

I hear that crying about calls on an online forum will change the calls.

Good win for the Hawks. They deserved it. Impressive feat by the Hawks to take Harden out the first half.

[ATL Boy]

3-0 since starting this brutal stretch of games. We get Rondo and Dallas on the road before coming home to the Clips. Then we'll get sort of a respite in the form of a home and home with Milwaukee before running another gauntlet.

However, I truly believe that we can beat anyone. This is the best Hawks team I've ever watched.

Raptor fan in peace great game you have a exceptional team deep with quality players.
Good that Raptors, Washington and Atlanta are all pushing each other to excel and Chicago & Cleveland are bith sucking our dirt.

[atlantabbq99]

Good game. The Hawks played their game and the Rocket were the ones who had to adjust. The game shows me why i can't never take Houston seriously as a contender in the west or east.

I'm also really glad that the Hawks never got into that Harden bidding war a few years ago. He is just way overrated and way overpaid. He basically looks like Joe Johnson 2.0. Harden just looked really bad as usual, like Brandon Jennings bad.

I'm also glad the Hawks missed out on Dwight, he is defiantly on the decline from his Orlando days. and it looks like we saw Dwightmare again. He has been doing those bonehead plays his whole career, from Orlando, to High school, and AAU. the guy just doesn't grow up, if he ever gets alittle bit frustrated he just starts making bad foul after bad foul.

This was defiantly a team effort. Houston has way better players, but Atlanta is just a better team. Only Korver went over 35 minutes. Horford had a good rebounding night. Carroll had a great game. and because of Harden's poor defense and missed assignments , Korver was able to dominate the game.

raptor fan here. wow Hawks are playing out of their mind lately. nicely done. even without Teague. leading the league in assists as a team too. im impressed

[Hawk Eye]

Idk about you guys but the rocket that impressed me the most was Montijunas. He's a legit 7 foot PF/C, displayed a birrage of post moves and hooks during the game. Also has that "stretch" ability with the few 3 point shots he took. I think he's going to be pretty dang good with a little bit more development

[Renmazuo]

I didn't get a chance to see the game. It look like a good win. Hawks getting a chance to go against some good teams and fairing well. Just hope they hit this stride of play when the playoffs come. Just my only concern with the Hawks when they get off to a good start. Could they be peaking too early?

are you nuts? Harden has dragged a completely depleted team to a 19-5 record (now 19-7). he is one of the - if not the- frontrunner for the mvp award right now

[azuresou1]

Yeah I hate Harden because he's a flopping bitch, but he's definitely THE top SG and one of the best players in the league.

Indeed. In my dreams, we engage HOU early in trade talks and get Motie, Asik and Parsons for table scraps...
