The line started out favoring Charlotte by 4 points. It's now a pick!

No Joe again, so I hope this team plays together, and gets the job done on the road.

This team is so dumb it's unbelievable. Stop turning the ball over on the break, settling constantly for jump shots, and losing focus on defense!

Good comeback. I was tired of seeing the Hawks get blown out early and then bring it to like within 5 but not being able to tie or take the lead. The Hawks have won 4 games in the last two years on the road when trailing at the end of the 3rd and 3 of those were awful teams(Miami/Minny last year and OKC this year)so it was big for them to go in the 4th with the lead.

Marvin is hurt right when he's probably had his 2 best games of the season back to back......crap.

Well atleast he's still in the game. He looked like he was in pain. This could be one of those situations where he is going to finish out the 4th and rest tomorrow vs a crap Clippers team.

The Hawks are running the same plays for Marvin that they run for Joe in the 4th and it's working. He's looking like he did the 1st two months of last year. We just need to get a stop.

LMAO@that D-League guy on the Bobcats thinking he was going to get that weak shot up over Smoove.

What a terrible job down the stretch by the Bobcats. Not being able to inbound the ball and then wasting like 10 seconds and then going for the layup when down 3. Nice to see a team playing dumber than the Hawks for once. This was my favorite win in a while.

Yeah the Cats really played like idiots late. I was laughing when they panned to Brown on the bench.

:lol: @ Marvin getting to the line 34 times in two games.

I missed the game but it looks as if Marvelous coulda had 40 if he could hit his "and one" opportunities. Is that the case?

This is for no special reason except that I like to think "what if?"

Excellent free throw shooting by Marvin Williams and Evans made 5 of 6 3 pointers. I was worried during the first, but felt we would bounce back, and just glad we beat a division rival. Indiana beat Orlando so another bonus for us.

Can't sleep on the Clippers tomorrow.

Good win. I hope we can go to the break with at least 10 games over .500. Very few bright things about this game. One of them for sure is the fact that we should use Marvin way more than we do. Isolate the guy and let him do his thing. Stop running plays for Smith, his basketball IQ and effort are disgusting, I was glad to see him on the bench for almost the entire 4th quarter, we actually executed, something he won't allow us to do. Diop is much better than Zaza. Horford doesn't look the player we know he is, still, I'd pick him over Zaza anytime in any situation. Good job by Mo and Flip.
GO HAWKS.

Are you (Please Use More Appropriate Word)? Who on this team plays harder and hustles more than Josh Smith? You're right about his bball IQ, but questioning his effort is wrong.
