Tough matchup even when healthy so without Horf and Marv.............Oh Boy. :cry:

But hey play it out and maybe we come out and shoot the light's out and hopefully New Orleans can't hit the Atlantic if we through them in. :wink:

Horford and Marv being out just means the next two players have to bring it tonight. I hope to see some JC2 and Teague tonight, also more minutes for Wilkens and Powell. Go Hawks!

Smoove doesn't want to be a big man tonight -- and he's our only one.
Bibby can't throw it into the ocean.
We have no energy.
The Hornets smell blood and are acting mean.

Other than that...

That's a good reason to lose; it's not a good reason for playing distracted and without energy.

Smoove driving and then lofting up a shot at the goal, rather than using the backboard....

Sad part about it is the Hornets are not playing lights out basketball. Good to see extended minutes for JC2 though. Jason Collins Flagrant 2 call was some bull. Doesnt that mean he's not gonna be available for the next game if the league doesnt overturn it??

Drew should pull all his regular rotational. and play ZaZa, Powell, Wilkens, JC2, and Teague the rest of this game.

blowout and Teague gets no burn. Not a good sign IMO.

I take the no burn for Teague post back. He's getting the whole 4th quarter.

neither one of these coaches are gonna get the best dressed coach award. Whats the lowest score an NBA team has ever scored in a game??? I think the Hawks are going for a record tonight.

We're playing so badly because we had no hope of winning without Horford. Rather than our remaining players trying to take up the slack, they just quit before the game began.

I take that back: Smoove worked hard. He always does. We may complain about his whining but he always works.

Damien Wilkins just made me smile: he blocked the shot, got the rebound, REFUSED to pass to the guards, drove the length and tried to dunk. He got the FTs.

That's what a professional does.

I wonder if the Hawks realize people spend their hard earned money to come to the game? The effort tonight was unacceptable. Yeah Al's not there but it doesn't matter. JJ has 9 points, are you kidding me!
