JR is as hot as fish grease right now. Whats the record for 3 pointers in a game?

[ATL DirtyBird]

Holy **** JR has 41 pts on 15-22 and 10-14 from 3. Probably would of been a game if we didnt run into that buzzsaw.

[HoopsGuru25]

Ha....10-15 from 3 but 1-6 from the free throw line.

[Hawkeyes]

Meh..not much you can do when JR freaking Smith morphs into a hall of famer.

[ATL DirtyBird]

So what does everyone take away from this game?

[HoopsGuru25]

lol...JR didn't get the record but you can't say he didn't try. He didn't even entertain the idea of dribbling inside the 3 point line or passing with 2 people on him on those last 2 attempts. Also shot 1 from about 35 feet the possession prior to the timeout.

[Jubs]

Score is nearly identical when we beat them a few weeks back.

Evans is reverting back to his crappiness from earlier in the season. Guy can't hit anything it seems like.

That is a normal behavior for him, GK almost always has to sit him at some point or he will start chucking them from under the other teams bucket so he can get more attempts up.

You guys have a very good team, good luck with the rest of the season.

The hawks are a 2nd rate team. They were a 2nd rate team in the 90's, the Nique teams were 2nd rate teams. The bottomline is the Hawks will never be a top tier franchise. It's never going to happen.

Look who shows up when we lose. Go root for a different team, please. None of your comments about Atlanta are ever positive, literally. You only show up after losses to say why the Hawks suck, and it's quite annoying. Go jump on the Laker or Celtic bandwagon. Your SN couldn't be more wrong.

[Hawkamanic81]

I'm just being realistic.

[ATL DirtyBird]

Hey, atleast weve beaten Boston and Portland on their court. Boston is better than Denver so that makes me feel better. I still wish Josh would play like he did at the beginning of the year and not revert to his old garbage, non enthusiastic play.

Steve Blake's poor play is the only reason The Hawks beat Portland. The Hawks have had more bad road L's than they've had good wins.

The 2nd part is true....but I guarantee you can say the same thing about Denver as well.

Boston sure is an elite team BUT, Our team has not played them yet so please don't give them what they are not proven yet. Last year Both BOS & DEN went same distance in playoffs.

There is no argument here even if they havent played each other. Boston is the second best team in basketball.

He won't respond to anything you say. He comes in during a loss, flames the board a little, then leaves. Repeat after the next loss.

[LL Cool Scott]

^ Not true, I've had great success getting Hawkmanic to respond when I call him a redneck. It's good times. Give it a shot.

[JoshB914]

Hard to win a game win you have a 1st quarter like that and J.R. Smith pulls that. I felt we played them even, just had the atrocious start to the game while JR hit threes right and left. Also, the reffing was very shoddy, especially towards the end of the third quarter where it was looking like we were going to be able to get it down to single digits.
