You never know who you'll see.....

Justin Bieber against New Orleans:



What our players thought about that.....



Tickets Are On $7.50 So Come Out To Watch Your Hawks Take On Blake Griffin.

Tickets are $7.50? Man, I'd hate to be a season ticket holder if they kept on hoisting that on me.

I hope Blake dunks on Josh early in the game. Josh needs the motivation.

Josh, Al, duck and cover. Dont get dunked on, please.

The $7.50 seats were certain sections and those sold out already. The discounts never really bothered me because they are for single games, but that's just me.

Does anybody know if they are going to open up more $7.50 seats?

Something about the Clippers just always reminds me of Acie's start 2 years ago. His stats weren't that bad from looking at it from a distance but actually watching that game and see him fail to control the pace and tempo of the offense all while the Clippers blew us out by 21.....man, good times!

Tricky coupla games coming up.

Sold out now. You could purchase them yesterday so I guess they sold out by last night.

Clippers are terrible on the road and we already went into Staples and beat them handily there. The thing though with this team is that you can't expect them to just beat the teams they should beat when they should beat them. Would be nice if we ran off a decent 5 game win streak going into LA (Just noticed that it's kind of odd that we play at New York before and then LA after the All Star break. The team might be partied out over that stretch with time off and great venues) and build some games up on Orlando. They have games against @Boston, New Orleans and the Lakers before the break while we have the Knicks and I guess the soon to overtake them Sixers as our top opponents over the same span. If we are going to be locked into a first round matchup with the Magic I would prefer we get every advantage we can get from a psychological standpoint but then again I can't exactly say that homecourt has held the same advantage for this team as it has before......

Man this team just makes you scratch your head when you think about them in depth.

Blake Griffin really sells the seats. Makes we wonder what the state of the Hawks franchise would be if they had embraced the exciting after drafting Josh Smith and built and marketed that way instead of the route they chose. Realistically I doubt they'd be any closer to a championship, but I can make a case that financially they could be better off.

Clips fan here...Pains me to say it, but you guys will win handily. Blake Griffin is a straight up beast, but gets little help, and even less help on the road. They really need Eric Gordon (and Kaman) back ASAP.

Josh Smith should be able to bully Blake Griffin around. The problem is, Josh rarely bodies his opponent up, so Giffin will most likely put up his average on Josh tonight. Blake Giffin is very thin, has a very thin waist, and Josh Smith has the much larger frame.

Josh sticking out his arm and placing it on the chest of Griffin won't work tonight, so I hope Josh rest his frame on Griffin.

Blake Griffin is already making a name for himself and Josh Smith continues to wonder why no one gives a damn about him. If Josh wants this to change he needs to shut Griffin down tonight. All it takes is the little things when it's athleticism vs. athleticism, so I can't say it enough...body Griffin up.

Or course, Josh Smith just shoots jumpers all day outside of a single open lane dunk.

Get Josh of the court.

Al is struggling with the size.

Gonna be a lot of jumpshots by the Hawks and could be a blowout if they dont man up.

I like that Drew sat Josh most of that quarter.
Joe is still playing very well.

Ike Diogu and Brian Cook having good games is kinda sad.

This quarter might have been the best quarter in recent memory.

Fantastic defense that quarter. Some pretty incredible offense as well. Very enjoyable.

Jamal has really terrible defense and the Hawks defense looks porous whenever he's on the floor. That is all.

The flagrant foul was a good call...but that replay on the ball out of bounds looked favorable towards the Hawks. I was almost positive that the Clippers were going to get the ball.

Hope Al is ok. Another 4th qtr collapse. They got layups, we got jumpers. Loved the playcall at the end by Drew.
