Some players assume position when they face Dwight Howard



But we need to make Dwight Howard our *****



Like Chris Paul



Rajon Rondo



and Kobe Bryant have done



We have the Kryptonite



And if this group plays like we know they can




Dwight Howard will look like this!

Best thread of the year for us. Nice job, HMFFL! Im gonna say a prayer for our team. Can we all agree to keep it positive in here until gametime, please?

LETS GO HAWKS!!

Some positive thoughts:
Maybe we can take advantage of some rust early.
Jamal seems back into the groove.
Bibby has been playing well.
Al is blossoming.

Hey guys can you beat Orlando and we promise we (Cavs) wont sweep you in East Finals...

Seriously though, I love ATL, wish you all the luck in the world...

Referees
Bob Delaney - Not Atlanta friendly
Joe DeRosa - Not Atlanta friendly. Worked the Orlando 104-86 victory against us in January.
Tom Washington - Is Atlanta friendly

RRT, thanks for the 'support,' but I'm going to have to refuse that offer.

evil, time to change the sig.

I'm expecting a decent game from the Hawks. Gotta compete, leave it all there. We got nothing to lose, loose it up guys.

Dude you guys won't even get past the Celtics after getting embarrassed last night. you should be down 0-2 if it wasn't for the refs again giving you all the calls in the 1st game. The refs desperately tried to get the Cavs back in it again last night in the 4qtr. 38FT attempts for the Cavs to only 18FT for the Celtics and they still got BLOWN out. What a joke. Hawks vs. Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals!!!!

I hope we come to play

I just hope we get the chance for you to sweep us.


Horford is a huge key for the Hawks. He needs to take and make those midrange shots to get Howard out of the paint. He also needs to throw up a few shot fakes to see if he can get howard off his feet.

All Collins does is foul. What are we supposed to do? How are the Hawks gonna defend a man child that roided up? UGHH

The first half is close to ending and Dwight Howard only has one foul and his stats are already close to what he did against Charlotte. I guess we looked past how Charlotte got him into foul trouble and contained him.

Crawford is back to being garbage.

We need to box out (Al & Josh) instead of just standing around.

We need to learn to get to the foul line, Orlando has 12 attempts already, and we have 2.

This is sooo fun to watch. JJ is def earning a max contract with this play. GTFO

I think TNT is pulling a fast one on us. They aren't really showing the game live. They are just showing a tape of one of the previous Hawks-Magic games. I just can't remember which one it is since they all look the same.

Deja vu and not the good kind.

Great job by Josh Smith to place his feet and get the foul on Dwight. We need more of this and we need to be more aggressive on offense.

I'll watch every minute of the game, but I'm not seeing a run big enough to save this one. Not going to stay online and let the frustration build in me with each post.
