To help expand League average at home:
551 374 0.595675676
Brown is slightly higher at 61.2%, but Goble and Mauer are each in the 54% range
Miami is 16-14 at home for 53% which is lower than average.
The Hawks 15-14 record on the road gives hope as well being above league average.

On the downside we've been blowout the last 2 times we played the Heat.

In other news: Lebron James is out against the Bucks tonight after tweaking his ankle last night.

Tomorrow Orlando host LA, so hopefully the Lakers can get things together.

Rebounding has sucked so far. The Heat are not a good rebounding team. Smith doesn't even have a rebound yet.

How can we let Wade get the ball from the inbound pass? thats terrible defense. They should have denied Wade the ball from the inbound. Come on Hawks, use your head, geesh!

The Hawks transition defense is awful. They let Richardson and Wade walk into about 4 3s already w/o stopping the ball.

Another chokejob vs a zone defense.

Anthony is getting every rebound against Horford.

Post #10 » by **HMFFL** » Sun Mar 7, 2010 2:54 am

Jamal Crawford has four 3-pointers tonight.

That's only his 11th time making 4 or more during a game this year.

We're taking way too many jumpers.

No call on that hack on Horford?!?!

tontoz · Post #12 » by **tontoz** » Sun Mar 7, 2010 3:02 am

Get Bibby out of there. If he isn't making jumpers he has no value.

tontoz · Post #13 » by **tontoz** » Sun Mar 7, 2010 3:06 am

Smith with as many turnovers as rebounds.

HoopsGuru25 · Post #14 » by **HoopsGuru25** » Sun Mar 7, 2010 3:06 am

Refs weren't calling fouls at the end and the Hawks had too many stupid turnovers.

Why was Bibby on the floor during the 4th? He had no points,no turnovers,and no assists,no rebounds during the entire period.

This is bad. I dont understand why Marvin cant get on the court in crunch time.

WOW. Disturbing loss. Our offense sputtered badly.

betta1 · Post #16 » by **betta1** » Sun Mar 7, 2010 3:08 am

Ugly loss. We just stood around the entire 4th and hoisted up 3s.

HoopsGuru25 · Post #17 » by **HoopsGuru25** » Sun Mar 7, 2010 3:10 am

WTF didn't the Hawks foul for with 40 seconds on the clock down 4?

What a joke of a fourth quarter, the Heat were giving us whatever we wanted and we settled for jumpers the entire time like a bunch of pansies.

This team is not tough enough to compete in the EC. End of story.

ATL DirtyBird · Post #19 » by **ATL DirtyBird** » Sun Mar 7, 2010 3:11 am

JJ and Josh played badly. We have major issues with the 2-3 zone.
Nothing is more frustrating that losing to a team that you should wax.

Pretty much. One can only hope they turn it on come April. Hard to see that, though, with our lack of focus and offense sometimes.
