i don't like making these, but it is getting close to game time

-Dalembert is a Hawk killer, i watch him play other team and he just looks good, but for some reason when ever the plays the Hawks, he looks like Bill Russel. Horford is going to have his hands full again, Hawks really need to respect Sammy

-Smoove always dominates guys like Boozer and Zach Randolph. Josh should have a field day with Brand, and this match up will be fun to watch for Hawks fan

- Thad has learned to control his athletism but Evan is still a quality guy and has great fundamental. Thad is good, but i expect Evans to hold his own

-Iggy is good, he always puts up good number, but he doesn't light up the Hawks like Vince does. same thing for Joe, he gets his number, but doesn't really blow up the Sixers when he faces them

-Bibby always makes Miller look like an all star. not sure what the Hawks are going to do here, except to hope Flip and Law can contribute. we all know that Bibby is not a PG, he is just a streaky shooter, Mike already had one bad shooting night, just hope this game will be a good shooting night for Bibby

-Flip and Louis are both going to be double digit scores off the bench, both guys are just nasty in how they can get their shot up and this should be fun to watch.

C'mon hawks, play your game. Stop settling for outside shots.

Yeah the only guy scoring inside is JJ. The Hawks can't settle for jumpers all game. They need to attack the rim. Missed jumpers just feed Philly's fast break.

Seriously coaching staff? We cut it to 5, and you act like a bunch of immature little kid and give up all of the momentum with your two Ts..seriously grow the hell up. You are old men, now act like it.

^ don't forget calling that timeout when Hawks had the momentum. They went on to miss like 2 straight shots and give up a layup after that timeout. Gotta love Woody!

just a horrible game, alot of problems, Hawks just won because they are the better team, but it should have not been that close and out of hand. if the Hawks are the team we think they are, then they need to start showing up from the 1st to 4th quarter on lesser teams like the Sixers.

WOW, we stunk it up in the first. Almost a mirror image of the game against them last season.

Philly is a good defensive team and JJ just shredded them. Nasty.

WTF is up with 2 bench techs in the 2nd half of a tight game?

That was really a gritty victory.

Great comeback win for the Hawks. I started to think they didn't have a chance until they reminded us the Hawks cameback last year from a similar game against the 76ers.

He needs to stay on the bench, he was horrible all night long. Other than JJ, I think Bibby had a good game. Zaza also had good moments. Our bench wasn't great overall, but i like the little they did such that drive to the basket by F. Murray. J. Smith found his game as the game went on, but he's got to play more under control (haven't I been say that for years?). I know that matchup with Dalembert was tough for him, so I'll give him some credit for making some adjustments. I just hope we realize we got to come out to play from the beginning. It was a lesson I hope we learned. Nice to see that the crowd was into it when the Hawks realized they had to play.
GO HAWKS.

Where's the love for Woody? Going small with Flip at the 2 and JJ at the 3 played a HUGE part in winning the game.

^ Damn, I was just going to say that. Seems as if were going to get something different from all bench every night. Zaza came up huge ( I cant believe im saying that ) Mo Evans looked out of place as did Law.

Seems like Marvin was just taking crazy fadeaway jumpers tonight. That's not his game...
