VS

The one, the only...

Dont know the line.

Road test vs a tough team and a tough crowd. Lets see how we do. Attack the paint and play with the same intensity on the defensive end.

GO HAWKS :rockon:

Milwaukee favored? I think that's Vegas's assessment of the Hawks rather than the Bucks. They don't expect Atlanta to maintain its intensity on the road after several days off to become content with how the series has gone. I really want the team to come out focused and to try to bury Milwaukee with defense and pounding it down low on offense. There is no reason to give them hope at this point in the series.

79% of the money is on Atlanta +1
91% on the over.

Let's not fall flat on the road like Cleveland.

Well...the Hawks only had 2 impressive road wins(Utah w/o Deron and Mil. w/o Bogut) post AS break. It just so happens that one of those was against Milwaukee which makes it tricky. I'm just hoping this goes better than last year's game 3 vs Miami which was over in about 10 minutes.

Down 29-13? Why am I not surprised? The Hawks never fail to amaze me on the road.

I'm not surprised. The Hawks have gotten curb stomped in the 1st quarter of all their road playoff games except that game 4 vs Miami last year.

The stats don't show how bad Bibby's playing so far.

He's not the only one playing terrible but his decision making & defense has just been awful so far.

Joe is actually the only one who isn't playing like crap right now.

This is why nobody takes the Hawks serious..

Cut it to 12 at halftime. Need Josh and Al to step it up inside in the 2nd half for us to have a chance to win this game. So far Joe has been the only one doing anything offensively, and Crawford/Bibby have been awful.

Cleveland was down by 20 or more against the Bulls, but Cleveland came back to make it close, so lets see if we can come back to win.

I believe we can.

Al has missed so many easy shots tonight.

HoopsGuru25 · Post #15 » by **HoopsGuru25** » Sun Apr 25, 2010 12:43 am

I understand there will be games where the entire team is cold but could they actually put some effort into their defense?

HoopsGuru25 · Post #16 » by **HoopsGuru25** » Sun Apr 25, 2010 12:44 am

Maybe these 4 straight baskets are a sign that Horford should stop posting up.

Hawkeyes · Post #17 » by **Hawkeyes** » Sun Apr 25, 2010 12:47 am

Anyone that thinks Jamal Crawford can jump in the SL and replace Joe next year is on crack.

HoopsGuru25 · Post #18 » by **HoopsGuru25** » Sun Apr 25, 2010 12:51 am

Every shot Milwaukee takes is open.

HoopsGuru25 · Post #19 » by **HoopsGuru25** » Sun Apr 25, 2010 12:56 am

So the Bucks extended the lead by 9 after punking us in the 1st half.

What is wrong with this team? It doesnt make sense. We are so superior in talent. They dont deserve fans.
