Westbrook should have a field day. Durant will be a tough matchup for Marvin and Joe. Day games are tough for both teams, but I still expect a good game.

[Adobozz]

We better come out strong in this game, OKC is a good team...

[HMFFL]

Southeast Games:
Sacramento @ Charlotte
Portland @ Washington
Orlando @ L.A. Lakers

Charlotte could very well be the only one that wins, so we need to take advantage of it.

I had no Idea the team has been traveling to and playing OKC for so long. Man I miss the Sonics
Hope we destroy them and Marvin get's up for Durant like he does Bron and Pierce. I say we just bait Westbrook in to taking all their shots, we can live with him thinking he's Dwyane Wade as he will phase out the rest of their offense if he thinks he has any inkling of an opening.

[Adobozz]

Yea it'a shame, Seattle Supersonics sounds much better than Oklahoma city Thunder...... Nothing personal against OkC though, they have a better fan base than we do.....

Agreed. The only real competition that Atlanta has for "worst sports city in America" is Miami.

[ATL DirtyBird]

Im curious to see what the crowd will be like today. Awkward game time. Hopefully theres no letdown after an emotional game.
Marvin should go for 15+ tonight. KD's D has improved but is still relatively poor.

[HoopsGuru25]

I really wish Mo Evans was as physical & aggressive as Mario on defense.

[JoshB914]

Huge missed opportunity there. Had a chance to take the lead with Durant out of the game and we come up empty on four straight possessions.

[HoopsGuru25]

W/E the Hawks had going in quarters 1-3 just grind to a halt as soon as the 4th starts.

[JoshB914]

These fourth quarter meltdowns have gone from an annoying problem to a disturbing trend. We have missed a ton of wide open shots in this quarter as JJ/Craw/Bibby miss open look after open look.

[ATL DirtyBird]

How does this keep happening? Why not give it to Josh and let him dish to the open man? Im confused

[ATL DirtyBird]

Why not sub Mario for Bibby?

[HMFFL]

Joe aired the drive inside, but I wish he made contact with a defender that was inside the circle, and when he did get the ball back he passed it. Sure, Mike Bibby was open, but still drive the ball inside for the contact.

[Hawkeyes]

It seems like Bibby always misses big shots for us this season.

[HoopsGuru25]

1. This is why I hate national TV games. Too many damn deadball timeouts during critical stretches of the game.

2. The Hawks have missed a ton of wide open 3s.

[HoopsGuru25]

Those last 2 shots by Joe and Crawford were a joke and exactly why our 4th quarter offense sucks.

[ATL DirtyBird]

Thanks Joe. Good job. I knew it was over when he caught it at halfcourt with Josh trying to man up. Would it be to much to ask for miracles in back to back games?

[HMFFL]

Joe is scared of contact.

He just drove inside, so that was a plus, but he avoided the contact, and forced the layup/jumper. Ugly!
