Memphis is a pretty pitiful team but their home record is better than our road record... we are just a terrible road team.

I think we can win it because we have been getting the lucky bounces and whatnot but we played the last two games a little too close so I'd like to see a real blowout.

I might actually have a chance to see them play for the first time this season! Since moving to Memphis, I've been stuck without being able to watch my Hawks. Send up some vibes for me so that I can go and see them win!

Gay has been going off lately. It will be interesting seeing him match up with Marvin.

JJ's minutes look like they are catching up with him. He is starting to struggle from 3. We definitely need other guys to step up until he can get his legs back.

Excellent find HMFFL!

She's got some horse teeth on her but that Retro Hulk Hogan shirt fits her in all the right places!

I don't find her very attractive myself, but my game threads have been winners lately, and I hope it continues to tonight against Memphis.

Did the Memphis color analyst just say that we needed about 48 wins to make the playoffs?

The Hawks will probably blow this lead but this is how you have to start the game against a team who has nothing to play for. Horford drawing that 2nd foul on Warrick(also the offensive foul to take away a basket) was big too because he's been a monster recently.

I've noticed this alot since Mike Bibby's been here - teams continue to double and triple Joe, and Bibby makes them pay!! But they still do it next play down... I thought making a team pay was supposed to take them out of the double team, but hey, as long as Bibby's draining those 3's, it's ok with me. :nod:

Law with his 1st buzzer beater 3 since college. He has to shoot the ball more instead of bringing it up court and passing it every time.

Zaza had 4 turnovers in a quarter. WTF

I turn on the game and it is 44-24 ATL. First thought was "Guess all F > all PG." I know that is based on untrue roster exaggerations, but it was my 1st thought.

My 2nd thought is that I bet we blow the lead and Joe Johnson has to play 43 minutes tonight.

I expected Memphis to cut it to like 12 when Bibby went out but we actually maintained pace and then went up by even once Bibby came in for his 2nd stint. I wouldn't be suprised if Memphis went on an 11-2 run to start the 3rd though.

This is the perfect game for JJ and Bibby to get some badly needed rest. We just need to take care of business in the 3rd quarter.

Memphis has the ability to lose spectacularly, it like a warm fuzzy sweater to them, their comfort zone.

If losing was a chick , the Grizz would be Jessica Alba.

The Tiger Woods of the loss column.

At least we got the Tigers who play 1/3 of the games and have twice as many wins, there's an eye opener for you.

My boy Horford had a couple of nice moves. Sometimes he gets too deep on the right baseline so he doesn't have an angle to bank in that jump hook. This time he gave himself room.

He also made a nice fadeaway. I want to see that more often.

HoopsGuru25 · Post #19 » by **HoopsGuru25** » Tue Apr 1, 2008 1:32 am

Gotta give credit where credit is due....the Hawks were obviously ready to play to start the 3rd(good job Woody).

I would like to see Law be more aggressive on the offensive end..He's only shot 1 shot so far(2 but Zaza had an illegal screen on 1)and that was at the end of the clock. He will not be effective playing off the ball because he can't shoot. Please start looking for your own shot.

If he misses he will get benched for 6 games. I think he is just scared to shoot now.
