Does the fact that we keep it close comfort you?

Does it make you feel any better that we are keeping it close and competitive with the best team in basketball? It makes me feel a little better, but also makes me ask if we can ever beat them. Beating the Cavs is the next step but when will that be....?

Hopefully the roster is intact next year, and we continue to mature, cuz we are keeping it close with good teams lately. Too bad we lose to much to bad teams.

Im just looking for something positive. Losing games like these really kill anything positive.

I'm unfamiliar with Teague's game, so I may be off base, but if he's a quicker guard that can get to the basket, he would be a tougher guard for the Cavs...

The Hawks have a few problems with the Cavs... One being not having a low post player worthy of a double team--The Cavs can easily double Joe without any problems...

However, not having a quick guard that can dribble penetrate and make the defense react is a huge problem... With guys like Williams, Crawford, johnson, Evans etc... a guy that can cause some havoc for your personnel is someone that can put it on the floor and create off of that... Bibby (IMO) is the guy that cause you the most problems when it comes to the Cavs.. He really makes things all around him easier to defend with his lack of quickness and the inability to attack a defense...

Teague is stupid fast. He cant get on the floor. Hes a rookie. Woodson refuses to play rookies. Hes shown flashes but is very, very raw and unsure of himself when on the court.
Bibby has sucked wang up until the last 5 games. To bad he couldnt defend a garbage can.
