LET'S GO HAWKS ! I hope we can come out on fire and put the Knicks away. We need this win to gain some grond on the Nets.

The Suns just helped us out. We're +2 now, we have a great opportunity to really extend this lead over the next two days with NYK and Memphis on the schedule.

The Knicks havevn't won a road game since the All-Star break. I will be pretty mad if this is a close game going into the 4th quarter. This will be a good game for Law and West to get 15-20 minutes. We don't need to keep burning Joe and Bibby out against bad teams.

I wish we could get some sort of ruling from the league that if we lose at home to the Knicks, we automatically miss the playoffs.

Anyway, I think we should win this one... the Knicks don't matchup well with anyone.

We need to jump on these guys early. We know what the Knicks are all about, if you don't give them a reason to believe they will quit. I'd like to get JJ and Bibby some rest in the 4th quarter like we did against Milwaukee.

This should be an easy win but with these Hawks you never know.

That means the Hawks are expected to score 109 pts., right?

The Hawks have actually had more 100 point games in Bibby's 23 games than they did in the previous 49 games before the trade.

The Hawks should just be trying to go inside every play. Joe and Bibby look cold. I'm not sure why Marvin and Horford were the 1st two to leave the court....

You know, I like the JJ drawing the double then kicking out to Bibby, Bibby's really feeding off of it since he's been here... but I'd really like to see it switched around from time to time. Why isn't Bibby posting up Nate Robinson, and getting JJ those looks??

I've never seen Bibby post up, maybe I just haven't watched enough. Also Nate is strong as ****.

Pathetic defense during that 1st half. I don't understand why Woody keeps subbing out Marvin for Chill...Chill's defense is garbage and Marvin was balling during that 1st half. I would rather Joe go out since he doesn't need to be playing so many minutes when his jumpshot is off(he just looks tired). Would it hurt to go to a 2 pg lineup or to just put Mario West in the game?

I've never seen him post up either, that's my point... I think he needs to try it occassionally so JJ can get some of those open looks. JJ has had to work very hard to get his shots lately, and it's affecting his game. I thought bringing in a good PG was supposed to help JJ, but so far it looks like Bibby benefits the most. We need JJ to get into a rhythm, and we need his points every night, but noone's setting him up.

Bibby doesn't have to try to score on Nate, just put enough pressure to draw the double team.

did you suddenly forget who our coach is?Nice to see those two get off though.

Some of Bibby's passes are really horrible. He has 4 turnovers already.

Childress in for Marvin again after Marvin was the best player again in the 3rd quarter while Bibby and Smith continue to suck it up. Woody just blows...Even if we win this we will probably just lose to Memphis.

Knicks games are always so ugly. This would have been a good game to get West, J-Rich and Solomon some burn.

West comes in during the last 6 seconds to guard Crawford...it might have been a better idea to put him in when Crawford was shooting right over Bibby like a chair in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. This looks like another game where Joe and Bibby will play all 24 minutes in the 2nd half.
