I hope we come out pissed as hell after last night and take it to these guys.

We had a snowstorm here and the Hawks flight was delayed getting in.

The Wizards have won 5 of their last 13 which is pretty good for them. Hopefully the Hawks don't have a letdown.

Remember what happened after our last heartbreaker on national tv? Let's see if this team has grown up since then.

^^^^HAHAHAH The Hawks grow up?? What a joke! This is such a winnable game, I wouldnt be suprised if we chocked on this one. Marvin loves that running throw at the basket, its ugly but oh so effective!

No Butler makes this game all but a gift.

Hawks with another mental lapse before the end of the half. They did the same thing vs a crap Kings team and almost lost.

Smith had 3 turnovers in the first half and easily could have had more.

LOL-Javale Mcgee with the nice putback dunk for the Hawks.

Every starter has taken 10 shots through 3 quarters except JJ. that is a welcome change. JJ has 11 assists.

That's when we're at our best, when JJ is passing out of the double team and setting up everyone else. It keeps them engaged on the offensive end, which translates to more effort and energy on the defensive end.

Geez Marvin has just been clowning them. :lol:

Mcgee looks like he is playing on a 9 foot rim.

Excellent game by many of the Hawks, but it's not like we played against the best talent tonight, so hopefully tonight will carry over against the New York Knicks. Marvin's proving he's exactly what we need at the 3.

We're set at the point, the 2, and the 3 - the only question is what to do in the interior. Al is a lock for the next decade, but who is the type of player we want to match up with him down low? We could trade Josh - but we'll inevitably get 70 cents on the dollar for him. We could continue to hope that he develops and that Horford's example wears off on him, but that doesn't seem too likely. I'm stumped...

Maybe we could sign and trade Bibby and Josh for a talented 7 footer, and hope a combo of Acie/Flip can handle the point?

Miami just blew an 11 point lead with about 8 minutes left vs Cleveland. Lebron has scored 8 straight points and capped it off with a monster dunk over JO. That makes up for yesterday's loss a little bit.

Joe playing point and setting people up, and Marvin as the #1 option...... i like it!

JoshB914 · Post #19 » by **JoshB914** » Tue Mar 3, 2009 4:07 pm

We still have a ways to go, but it was nice to see the guys playing with confidence and composure on the road. With the way we have played away from home, every road win is crucial for us from a mental standpoint.

Dude - do you remember the last time the genius Billy Knight tried to make Joe a point guard? It was a complete disaster. There's no way in hell we'll ever play Joe at point again.
