It's London, Baby!!!
Brooklyn is currently out of the playoff picture as of today. Every loss is important.
Basketball Gods, you owe the city of Atlanta and all 11 of us Hawk fans. We need the Nets to start losing again.....and a top 3 pick as well. Here's hoping.....
Go Hawks. Finally a packed house for a Home game. Let's make it a memorable one.

DeMarre Carroll (personal reasons) did not travel to London with Hawks. #ATLHawks
Not good for us. This means we will see alot of 3 point guard lineups and Lou will probably be Joe's primary defender

Really packed in London, hopefully there will be Hawks fans than Nets fans, this is a home game after all.

Schroder is in the game, rare sighting

The size mismatch is killing us, it's also not helping that we're leaving Joe wide open at the 3 point line

And there's Joe with another wide open 3... Typically when a guy is just roasting you from the outside it's common logic to go cover him. It's also really worrisome that Lou is guarding Kilarinko every time down the court.

In front of a national audience around the globe we've stunk up the joint, even worse is the fact that we're hurting our chances of getting a top pick. The NBA will think twice before scheduling the Hawks for a global game like this again.

And just after I typed up my post of frustration, we've made this a game again. The bigs off the bench pull us within 14.

And just when we get back in it, the Nets get a 4 point play, of course... Everything's going their way
Edit: Pierce and Mack trade 3s, 16 pt game. Korver yet to hit a 3 despite having some good looks

Hope is lost, might as well just focus on getting Korver a 3 to extend his streak and give some playing time to Dennis

Korver extends his 3 point streak. Gotta feel bad for all the fans in London who were looking forward to this one for weeks or even months, a 30 point blowout isn't that entertaining.

Yet it happens pretty often whenever they put us on national TV.
Man it's tough being a Hawks fan.....
At least we have Shelvin Mack. He's a real building block for the future.

Crazy stat from the game. We lost by 27 despite shooting 22-22 from the free throw line.
