EMERGENCY GAMETHREAD!

Whats more shocking: Mo Evans has 7 pts in 1st qtr or that there are 9 people in attendance?

Who cares about the outcome of this game, in all honesty...? Its about the Falcons today. Time for an Atlanta team to represent for us. Come on Falcons!!!!!!

Oh ya, discuss the basketball game in here.
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.

Just wanted to celebrate: I saw Josh Smith (gotta use his real name) USE THE BACKBOARD on a drive. He got the "and one" as well.

I'm so happy. He can do that anytime he wants to. No one can stop it. He's too strong; he jumps too high; big men can't move fast enough and quick men are too small to stop him.


Oh yeah, the Hawks are winning, too.

Both Miami and Orlando have dropped two straight games. Lebron James is most likely going to sit tonight against Chicago, so we need this win, and hopefully we gain more ground on Miami.

Miami 30 11 .732 --
Atlanta 26 14 .650 3.5
Orlando 25 14 .641 4.0

What I meant is his habit of driving and then lobbing up a shot directly to the hoop instead of using the backboard. The backboard is much more forgiving.

What game? Being a fan of Atlanta sports really sucks.

This team is terrible at taking advantage of Miami and Orlando losing. Orlando won last night, but they dropped their two previous games. Games like these are very frustrating.
