I didn't think it was humanly possible for someone to play as atrociously as Josh Smith has this game.

Still have the 4th left, but this is ugly, and we play tomorrow.

Josh has 0 rebounds, ARE YOU KIDDING ME SMOOVE? Bibby kept us in the game early, and when he cooled off we got smoke. IDK how the Hawks cant get excited for this, this is a nationally televised game, againts the best team in the league, and yall come out flat, without energy? SO INMATURE, its not shocknig anymore though!
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.

Acie is just horrible..... so is Joe..... too bad that Flip isn't here to save the day from Joe's bad shooting.

This is why I don't understand why people think our team should be so much better. If you look at the players the Lakers have compared to ours and they're just light years ahead of us. We are a good team, but clearly not a great one.

Just not a good performance. Just gotta move on and win tomorrow against a much easier opponent. The Lakers have 25 offensive boards right now, that's laughable.

I liked what I saw from Acie in the little time the game was close. Hopefully he can build onto this performance heading into tomorrow.

Joe Johnson begs to differ with his offensive performance. Just an awful game overall.

20 Rebounds - 0 Rebounds for the starting PFs. Emasculating.

Horford should look at this and be embarassed. Al should take this game and use it as motivation to start averaging 12rpg for the rest of the season.

Hi guys. Why does your team have a let down playing against the Lakers but play very well against the Celts?

Thanks!

Last season we didn't want to trade Smith for Gasol. I mean, the spanish dude can score with his back to the basket, is a great rebounder, one of the best passers at the C position, but hey, the Hawks wouldn't give up on Smith. Who needs Gasol when your PF rebounds, shoots, makes decisions, dribbles, plays like Smith. Not the Hawks. You know who need him? The Lakers. They're a horrible team... send him there...
GO HAWKS.

Hawks have a very hard time playing in LA, but the Hawks play the Lakers very well at home in ATL.... same with the Celtics.

Need to do something about that rebounding... 67 to 39? are you kidding me? Wow.

When Zaza is leading the team in rebounding... something's wrong there. You know every season a player has to get better at something? I think Josh Smith needs to be looking at getting better at rebounding a bit if he wants to be a great PF.

What will it take to wake this team up? I wonder if they got caught up in the hype at the start of the season. I dont know what the answer is besides adding size to our front court. IDK where we need to go or where we will go. Something needs to be done in my opinion. In 5 years I dont want to look back at the Hawks and be dissapointed in not living up to the potential.
