The second team really had trouble with the zone. We need to work on that or it will become the book on how to hurt us (if it isn't already).

Josh Smith 2-2 with the 3 ball and Jamal Crawford is 2-3. Nice!

That crazy Josh Smith, doesn't he know he can't shoot from outside?

More quality minutes by the Big RV.

We need to put this one to bed. Can't let Jersey stay in it.

Well, we tried to throw away our lead. How fast did that 16 point lead drop to 8? 2 minutes? Thank goodness Drew put Horford back in.

Mo's about to shoot his way out of a job. Man! Does he need time in the gym.

Great game by Smith.
I don't like the way Drew manages Horford's minutes. The lengths the Hawks go to to make sure he doesn't foul out confuses me to no end.

Absolutely. Smoove needs more articles complaining about the "fact" that he can't shoot.
Inside and outside, he's killing it.

looks like Smoove is having a great night. I wish he would score 5 more points for a career High.

That 4th killed me. All those fouls on us -- all those FTs for them.

Ya, its a bunch of garbage. I hope Drew learns.
Im so scared to believe in Joshs new Ray Allen like range, but im loving it.

I'm not so sure Drew can be criticized for how he played Horford tonight. Horford is very, very important to us. Did you see what happened at the end of the 3rd? We took Horford out with a 16pt lead, with 3:45 left. We had to put him back in - 2 minutes later - because of a major NJ run that got the lead down to 8.
If Horford fouls out, we're toast. We need at least the threat of him coming back into the game.

Im all for being cautious with a vital player but Drew is overly cautious. Im sure he'll learn as he goes along.

Drew is doing a great job so far. He's made some mistakes here and there, but overall he's doing a hell of a job. Keep it up LD!
