Look for Randy Foye to go big but not nuclear. Other than that should be a cake walk with Gil and possibly Miller out weakening their guard matchups against JoeMal.

What is that tattoo of?

[evildallas]

I believe the caption reads "With God all things are possible". I'm not sure if that is Jesus, Moses, an Angel, a wise man or God himself. He does have a scepter basketball and a cross on a big chain. Not sure of what's behind him (could be wings, moon, a tablet, or a chair). Of course this is just observation, I could be way off.

We should expect to win every game during this homestand. These next five games a fantastic opportunity to get right back into the thick of things atop the EC.

[evildallas]

^^^ We need that sort of home dominance because we have a tough five game stand after it (road games with San Antonio, Houston, then home with Boston, back on the road with Orlando and OKC).

San Antonio is playing better, Houston is annoying with there hustle, Boston wants revenge and of course Orlando has our number.

Josh's court vision has improved so much this season. Needs to add a more reliable post game and hed be set

Worst 5 minutes of basketball outside of that stretch against the Cavs.

[JoshB914]

Mario West giving us a spark. I'm already back on his bandwagon.

Ur not human if you dont like Mario. Teague is one fast son of a b

[evildallas]

I wonder which Hawks get singled out on Kiss Cam during road games? Most likely it's Zaza.

[evildallas]

Mario is making the most of Mo being out.

That was a sorry last play to run considering they subbed two guys for more offense.

[ATL DirtyBird]

^ Ya pick and roll and Bibby shoots a contested jumper, WTF? Wish we closed out that quarter better. Josh needs to get some offense going

[BAMABIRD]

Good to see Super Mario back.. Go Hawks!

[ATL DirtyBird]

Josh should have 15 assists, but they cant make anything. Not a very good game all around.

[BAMABIRD]

Al Horford scores on the block and then doesn't touch the ball for three straight possessions. I just don't understand that.

[evildallas]

If Jamison played all of his games against us he'd be 1st team All-NBA.

[ATL DirtyBird]

18 FGA for 17 points. Way to be efficient Joe. Get to the line

[tontoz]

Jamison has 16 rebounds in the 1st 3 quarters. That is just lame.

Bibby 1-7, Smith 2-6. The Hawks better get their act together.

[ATL DirtyBird]

Win or lose Mario is my hero. Hopefully he gets some PT in the coming games.

[tontoz]

The Hawks were +18 in the first half with Teague in the game. Anyone care to speculate why he hasn't played in the 2nd half? I guess Bibby is playing too well for Teague to get in.
