Thursday Night
Atlanta leads the series 3-2
If there happens to be a game seven Sunday I won't be able to make the thread. I hope one of you do it.

Hope you guys can take this one. Someone tell Josh Smith to stop shooting jumpers, and just attack the basket everytime he gets the ball, and you'll win. The Magic dont have anyone that can guard him.

Jason Richardson Receives Seven Stiches In Foot After Stepping On GlassJason Richardson played through considerable pain on Tuesday night after stepping on glass at his home in Orlando in the afternoon. Richardson was forced to receive seven stitches.
When asked about how much it hurt, Richardson exhaled and said, “It’s tough. It hurts.”.

Is that from a self defense class? What to do if attacked from behind by a barefoot person?

I'm worried that the weak showing down in Orlando for game 5 will temper fan participation for game 6. I hope not as we need to fire on all cylinders, but going on past years, doubt creeps in quickly.

The pressure is REALLY on the Hawks now. The media is chewing them out for that pathetic showing in which they went down 32 POINTS at one point in a closeout game.
Had this been an out of the blue anomaly I suspect people would look beyond last night, but considering how the Hawks have been blown out huge throughout the season it seems like they've reverted to their losing ways.

If JJ has another crappy game, I do expect the fans to jump on him with the boos and chants.

Most important stat will be Dwight's points.
if Dwight gets +30......... then the Hawks will win.
if Dwight gets -20......... then the Hawks will lose.
we need the Magic to become a one man show, and Dwight takes as many 2pt shots as he wants. Don't even front Dwight, just let him get the ball in the post and "LET HIM SHOOT". Don't double Dwight and play the 3pt shooters tight and rebound, then the Hawks shouldn't have any problems in closing out the series at home.
Hawks can get a blowout, they just need Smoove and Horford to get a bunch of offensive rebounds. Collins doesn't need to rebound, but it would be great if he can "BOX-IN" Dwight, hold his position and keep Dwight under the basket and let Smoove and Horford swoop in and grab some offensive rebounds.

I hadn't thought of that. I was worried they just would show up.

This is me applying voodoo to you guys.
Should be a hard fought game though, both sides don't want to lose this.

As a neutral I think that last game will turn the series around and Magic wins tonight. But I hope you guys beat them, hopefully J Smith stop shooting 3's and instead attacks all game.

I believe we are winning if we do some of a few things that have already been commented.
Many fans coincide that JSmoove being more agressive (not difficult) is key to this team. Is he hurt? Is he angry? Why is he playing like that?
Crawford will nail them down, as JJ will dissapear in clutch time. By then we should have a big difference.

Orlando favored by 2 with o/u of 179. I'd take that action and the under.

Great win!!!! it wasn't a good game, but it was a great win!!!
their are alot of people who didn't think that the Hawks could beat the Magic, and the sad thing is that their are some people on this board who claim to be Hawks fans, who said that they Hawks couldn't beat the Magic, but the Hawks have too much talent to fall to a club like the Magic.
the whole Dwight drama that is going to happen this summer is going to be fun to watch
