Zaza wasn't happy when he was taken out.

We can't leave them open from 3.

I didn't know the NBA was in the infomercial biz. Guess the 'mish is really looking to diversify beyond just expanding the league's international fan base.

T Lue with the hot hand. We need to run a little bit more these jumpers aren't going to fall forever.

Man I wish we had Sergio.

We miss AJ badly.

We normally don't lose our early lead completely until the third. We are on a faster pace today.

Why? PGs have played well. We have been leaving people wide open from 3 all year so that's nothing new.

I'm not sure Kevin Pritchard would go for it, but I'm sure if you proposed a reasonable trade on the Portland board most of the fans would give it a thumbs up. A large chunk of our fan base is pretty well convinced that Sergio and Nate McMillan will never be able to coexist.

I think Jack is a more likely trade candidate. Sergio and Rudy Fernandez are very good friends. Portland is trying to get Rudy to come over next season from Spain. Trading away Sergio might not be in their best interest. That and in the long run he will be better than Jack....although Jack is better now.

IV and T Lue have 4 assists combined. This looks like last year, running down the shot clock and settling for a one on one play.

I often wish Steve Smith was Woody's little voice of reason on his shoulder.

"...stop the switch. It's not working!"

Well, they can't make the shots after they pass it either.

That 4 assist could easily be 9-10 if some wide open shots where hit.

Rip we are shooting 14-30, I'm not buying that.

All Portland has to do is go at Childress and Lue every time down the floor and it is an automatic score.

Marvin and horford can't finish inside at all.

We miss AJ badly.

We have 4 turnovers as a team. So what do we miss?

It isn't like AJ creates or scores much.

JoshB914 · Post #35 » by **JoshB914** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 8:20 pm

AJ never turns the ball over so that is not an issue. We have 4 assists from our PG's and they are running PNR on them all day. This is what our offense was like last season.

Hawks · Post #36 » by **Hawks** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 8:21 pm

36 points given up in the 2nd QT. I thought the Blazers scored more than that. Somehow the Hawks are still in the game. Hopefully they come out ready to play in the 2nd half. We gotta get Marvin going. Can this 2nd half please be when Acie Law proves he belong in the NBA and can play PG?

Rip2137 · Post #37 » by **Rip2137** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 8:22 pm

You know...it sucks that I had to work today. First Hawks Home game I missed.

Haven't been watching yet, but...

At the half:
AC: 2/3 (all 2s), 2 As, 4 Rebs (2 Off), 0 TOs, 4 pts, 11 minutes
Lue: 3/4 (3/3 from 3pt), 4-4 FTs, 2 As, 2 Rebs, 0 TOs, 13 pts, 12 minutes

Total from PGs (not inluding whoever was PG while neither was on floor, I guess West):
5/7 (3/3 from 3), 4/4 FTs, 4 As, 6 Rebs (2 Off), 0 TOs, 17 pts in 23 minutes.

Pretty good, I think. So far, anyway.
