I think I'm finally convinced that both the Hawks and Celtics could care less about whether they get the 3rd or 4th seed.

At the half Smith has more turnovers than rebounds.

It's like Smith traded in 3 point attempts for stupid turnovers while trying to lead a fast break.

Now 6 rebounds and 6 turnovers. Ugh

Nice to see Marvin show up though.

Do the Hawks get scared in the 4th quarter or something?

13 points in the 4th against a terrible defensive team who has nothing to play for.

Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.

So much for that "easy" part of the schedule.

Pistons - Stuckey > Hawks - JJ ?

Good thing we had Bibby to run our offense, otherwise, we'd have pitiful execution.

They defended us in the 4th as if they knew what we were going to do better than WE did.

Pathetic. Sad. That one should have been in the bank and we crumbled. They were missing a lot more players than we were.

I've read that Joe decision could be influenced by Woodson's status. Word of advice to the ASG, if you don't resign Joe, then you probably don't want to reinvest in Woodson regardless of his record.

Question from us Magic fans who are curious about this game....Is the team tanking because it believes it has a better shot against the Cavs?

This has probably been the most frustrating end to a season since Sura ruined their draft pick.

Nope. Its because we suck. Good enough answer for you?

I wish we could attribute our play to such a plan. I have no idea why the wheels have come off. Injuries can't excuse everything and over the season we've been healthier than anyone.

I think its a combination of terrible 4th quarter offense & the Hawks just going through the motions until the playoffs. I don't think the Hawks(or Boston) care about getting the 3rd seed.
