Players always seem to return to the court against us, so Arron Afflalo will play tonight for Denver.

Hawks favored to win by 1 point. Denver has won the previous two meetings.

At least Gallinari is still out though. Man that's some crazy depth.

If Josh keeps shooting like this the fans might never get to sit down.

That lil 12pt lead disappeared faster than JJ's stroke from last night.

Marvin may have to be the go to guy in the 4th, seems like his shot is the only one falling.

Only saw the 2nd half. Once again, we looked as if we had no hope in that 4th.

AND WHY WERE WE CONSTANTLY WALKING THE BALL UP THE COURT WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO GET BACK INTO THE GAME? I know we're scared to run with them but you have to pick up the pace when the game's getting close to being over. Trying to come back while Jamal and Joe are playing the point killed me.

The starters shot 32%. Hard to overcome that weak offense.

What's with the ridiculous lack of touches for Horford lately?

I missed this one, but it looks like Denver walked all over us, so I guess we just had tired legs. Drew benched our starters last night so they could be prepared mentally & physically for this game.

Denver has a very bright future with the new additions and cap space. Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler have always received praise from me.

Our offense stinks! I wonder what (if any) changes will be made in the off season?

I don't live in Atlanta, so no, I wouldn't particularly care, although I'm sure many others here will disagree.

I live in Atlanta. and I am a hawks fan, I guess
but I really wouldn't care if they moved.
I am growing tired of the same old same old.
the hawks front office just doesn't know how to run a basketball team.
maybe if they did move. the next time atlanta gets a team, and I know they would eventually because atlanta is just to big of a city not to have a pro basketball team, they will have owners motivated enough to finally bring us a championship caliber team to the A.

I do not even live in the States, but I would care. I want the team to remain where it is.
As for new faces, I do not think we are seeing any new person running this any time soon.

I think (or may be I hope) the coach is trying different things once he realized we will be 5th in the Conference no matter what.

But the new things he is doing seem not to work. Either that or he has any control over the players, who play the game the want or th egame the opposing team let us play.
The greatest thrill is not in killing, but in letting live.

I would definitely give a **** if this team moved. I am from Atlanta. I am lucky I get to see 10-15 games a year. I would be very pissed in the Hawks moved to a different city. I am happy to have a professional basketball team in my city. I have been there through the 13-69 season and I plan on cheering for them a long time. If you are from Atlanta, you should be happy we have a team.

I can't imagine Atlanta without an NBA franchise. Nor do I think it fits the criteria to be moved. There isn't an arena issue. If they have trouble making a profit it has more to do with a) being overextended in their investment and b) with how they've run and marketed the club. A new owner would probably not want to or need to move the team to make a go of it.
