Looks like the betting world is going with New York because the line is now -1 Atlanta. Can't blame them considering our poor road record.

This is going to be a terrible game to watch. I have no confidence for us to do anything on the road so I say this game could go either way.

I think Mario West needs to get good minutes in this game. We need to defend their guards, and Bibby let's his man get past him to easily. Hopefully Acie comes out ready to play also.

Only when playing against Bibby.

JJ hasn't cooled off at all. With 6 minutes left in the half he has 13/5, 3 of 3 from 3.

Bibby has been so bad so far he is making me miss AJ which i didn't think was possible.

Mr. 3 Pointer Joe Johnson!

Joe is shooting 49%/51%/83% with 27 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in March. Those averages should be improving if the first half is any indication. If only the rest of the team would step it up.

The Hawks defense has been a joke. They are scoring easily in the lane over and over.

bibby needs to sit the rest of the game.

We need Marvin to play like this down the stretch...

High 5 · Post #16 » by **High 5** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 12:07 am

That 3rd quarter beats any game Marvin has had in a long time it seems like. If he could get that shot rolling like the beginning of the year combined with Joe's hot hand we should be in pretty good position.

Joe is the man....that's all I have to say. Nice games from Marvin/Chil/Smoove. Those two charges taken by Smith were nice(just another sign of him getting better). The Knicks suck but any road win(maybe outside of Miami or Memphis)is a positive sign at this point. Getting 1 of these next 2 would be nice.

Sweet win. JJ has been terrific and finally Marvin helped him a bit. Let's get ready cause tomorrow's game is very winable. We just got to focus and play hard. No lay ups, you just get tired of seeing all those teams having their way againt the Hawks.

tontoz · Post #19 » by **tontoz** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 12:44 am

Nice to see Marvin get going. Since Bibby only shoots well 1 of every 4 games we need more perimeter shooting.

No defense was played. I will take the win anyday though.
