Tough, tough game. Expecting a win would be to much. Play hard and if possible, win this one for Woody. I want Mr Potato Head coaching the East All Stars!

Appreciate the help beating Boston, but now it's time for your sweep Atlanta...



Seriously though, i'm expecting a tough game, so let's just hope it's a good one!

For some reason the Magic play better against us than they do any other team and our jumpers go cold. I just hope it doesn't get ugly.

Between how the Magic came back on Thursday, it being the 2nd of back-to-back games for us, and the way we've played our last couple trips to Orlando I'm surprised the spread wasn't closer to 10 on the game. I'll hope for the best, but I'll be expecting the worst in this one.

Sucks that we won't even get 24 hours to celebrate our 2 seed.

Dwight greatly affects the Hawks interior offense, and then Joe Johnson helps us out by going Me vs the World mode.

Hopefully you guys didn't leave your offense against Boston again, looking forward to a good game.

Gotta keep this game close into the fourth quarter and then hopefully Joe or Craw can push us over the top.

whats going on? i been on this board for a while as a guest just reading comments and stuff finally decided to register. A die hard hawks fan that lives in Brooklyn,NY. Only reason i have Nba league pass is to watch J Smoove. This would be a big win to give Woody the ASG coaching gig. We just have to hope Vince Carter continues his horrible stretch of play

Not really looking forward to this. I know it's a bad matchup going against Howard...but their role players(Redick,Anderson,AJ,Barnes)have just killed the Hawks in the last 2 years.

"the strength & conditoning coach of the Atlanta Hawks can't be too pleased with Jason Collins". LOL

Also...WTF is Jason Collins doing in the game in the 1st quarter? He single handedly put us on the penalty in about 30 seconds.

Stupid mistakes are leading to turnovers, we really need to get focused.

Looks like the Hawks decide to have their 4th quarter offensive meltdown a little early.

Wast that 2 points in 6 minutes?

999th career block for Josh Smith.

Good god Josh. Down 5 after playing like trash.

We seriously need to cut Joe Smith.

Back out to 9 down. Memo to Josh and Al, you don't have to imitate Joe. It is okay to pass back out of the post if you don't have an advantage as long as there is time on the shot clock. I don't want to be a jump shot only team but a forced hook over Howard isn't a great option either.

Get down by 2 and then we go to our potent post iso offense. Yuck. Dont they realize were not gonna get production from our frontcourt?

Well now they started passing out of the post and they can't hit a shot from outside either.
