It would be a great time to win one on the road. Houston has been up and down lately, so we have a fighting chance. Although is does bear remembering the narrow escape we had at Philips Arena against the Rockets.

Marvin looks possessed in that picture.

Tough game. Expect Aaron Brooks to have a career day.

Seriously. At least now we have Mario who might slow him down a little. Teague won't get the chance to slow him down.

I would rather have West or Teague hounding him and sometimes fouling him as opposed to watching Bibby, Crawford and JJ choking on his dust.

WHERE ARE MIKE WOODSON'S EYEBROWS?!

tontoz · Post #13 » by **tontoz** » Tue Jan 26, 2010 2:07 am

Teague comes in at the end of the first and forces Brooks to take a very tough jumper with a hand in his face. Surprise, surprise.

Horford must have gotten f'd up pretty bad. When he was walking to the bench i saw the faces of a couple of ladies in the stands and they looked at him and were like eeewwww.

ATL DirtyBird · Post #14 » by **ATL DirtyBird** » Tue Jan 26, 2010 2:10 am

Gotta get more ball movement. This team is to good defensively. Brooks and Landry are my worst nightmare for this team. Need more effort. We seem to be a little lackadaisical even though its a close game.

Good to hear Al will be back soon after he gets stitched up.

ATL DirtyBird · Post #16 » by **ATL DirtyBird** » Tue Jan 26, 2010 2:13 am

Wade has 30 at half against the Cavs. We have 0 assists right now.

tontoz · Post #17 » by **tontoz** » Tue Jan 26, 2010 2:37 am

Nice finish to the half. Smith and JJ came to play.

JoshB914 · Post #18 » by **JoshB914** » Tue Jan 26, 2010 2:50 am

Funny how we make a run and it gets quiet here. Great close to the half.

Am still reeling from Woody's impression of Charlie Villanueva. That is just too freaking weird.

JoshB914 · Post #19 » by **JoshB914** » Tue Jan 26, 2010 2:53 am

I also like the toughness Teague showed. It had to be embarrassing when Woody called a 20 second timeout 20 seconds into the second quarter just to chew him out for playing bad defense on Brooks. Things were looking even worst directly thereafter, but he responded with a couple of buckets. The kid didn't lose any confidence. That gives me hope that Woody's philosophy of making things tough on the young guys could work with him.

tontoz · Post #20 » by **tontoz** » Tue Jan 26, 2010 3:07 am

Bibby playing like crap again.

Horford needs to stop trying to back people down. Nice 3s by Marvin.
