Orlando is favored to win by 6.5 points.

I hope we come to play! GO HAWKS!

Jason Collins is going to start at the 5.

Sit Marvin and play D. Wilkins!

Well that half set offensive basketball back several years.

This is one of those nights that you really, really need Marvin to step up. So far he hasn't. Hopefully he'll find his touch in the 2nd half.

I think we all know we cant rely on Marvin. hes so inconsistent.

Sloppy, sloppy game.

I think the Hawks defense has been pretty good. If we could just get the offense in motion.

Give the ball up Josh!!!!!!! Is there no one on the team that will say that?

I can't remember two teams looking this sluggish at the same time.

Smith has played well.

The Hawks will probably lose....but it's a positive sign that they haven't just laid down vs Orlando during these 1st 2 games. Collins has Dwight Howard unbelievably frustrated(what happened to the new tech rule btw?)

I give LD credit for coming up with a game plan and sticking with it. I just hope we can fight the whole game and not give up a run in the 4th.

That he has done. I noticed it and it's nice to see, but we need to know how to make the adjustments that are needed. Overall, it's on our players tonight, because LD has done a solid job.

Mike Bibby with the 3-pointer to put us up by nine points.

evildallas · Post #14 » by **evildallas** » Tue Dec 7, 2010 2:19 am

Don't give up open three pointers at this late stage. Worst comes to worst put Dwight on the line before he passes out.

Wow@that last Bibby 3. I'm shocked that they didn't let Crawford run the shot clock out and shoot a contested long 2.

I guess LD realized he had to get Marvin off the floor during the 4th Qtr.

Wait, are we about to beat the Magic in Orlando? I dont care whos injured. Is this really happening?

Fun, huh? I kept waiting for the Magic to explode but they never did. We ground that'un out.

On defense, Marvelous knows what to do and does it with confidence. On offense ... his head's so messed up, he's the little engine that couldn't.

This one was a win on defense. Most of the game was ugly, but the outcome was beautiful.

BAMABIRD · Post #20 » by **BAMABIRD** » Tue Dec 7, 2010 2:44 am

That was the best Defense of D. Howard in about 3 years!
