Hopefully we avoid getting completely smacked up.
These next two games should tell us what this team is about and what we can expect come playoff time.

Hopefully Smith won't get punk'd on the boards the way he usually does against Odom.

These type of games always remind me that there are basketball fans in Atlanta. The majority of them just don't give a **** about the Hawks.

I would get on the fans too, but I'd be a hypocrite. I just can't afford to go to all the games due to financial reasons, and really wish I could. It is annoying how were doing so well and the arena is half empty the majority of the games.

^^^Its disgusting that there are more Laker fans in Phillips tonight than Hawks fans. Some NBA fans are morons.

Please smack this fan for me if you happen to see him at the game.

Funny tweet from Hollinger. Zaza is playing great though.

Bibby and Zaza the unlikely heroes so far. JJ needs to wake up.

Hopefully the potato head will let ZaZA in the game. He's been great in the first half. GO HAWKS!

I like the Hawks tempo in this game.

Props to Mo for responding to Artest constant elbowing. They should have done that the last time they played Dwight.

The bench has been amazing the last 2 games.

Ugh. The refs calling a flagrant within 5 minutes of any "confrontation" is a lock.

Rathbun on a JJ 3 ptr: "Thats how you do it Kobe." Good ole Bob. Nique has the worst grammar of all time.

Hawks, you guys are playing a helluva game. Good luck on your Eastern Conference run.

ATL DirtyBird · Post #16 » by **ATL DirtyBird** » Thu Apr 1, 2010 1:18 am

Artest plays good defense but he mugs quite a lot. Him and Kobe are allowed to do things on defense others arent.

Now lets close it off strong for a change. Well played so far.

HoopsGuru25 · Post #18 » by **HoopsGuru25** » Thu Apr 1, 2010 1:33 am

The Hawks scored over 25 points in each quarter. That was probably their best game this year.

Especially nice to see 29 points in the 4th.

Bibby and Horford both have had their best months in March. Nice to see them playing well leading into the playoffs.

OKC tied with Boston right now in Boston.

^^^ This Boston game is great. If you have League Pass, watch it.

Nice to see limited iso's this evening.
