Game 3: Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks 7:00 ESPN

[Hawkeyes]

I'm beyond embarrassed. We are no different than last year. Hell, at least we could say we were facing Wade last year, but this is a joke. It looks like this series will go to 7.

Same old crappy road effort. Embarrassing is the best word for it. Monday night is now the key for the team to prove to themselves that they actually learned anything in their last 2 years of playoffs.

[HMFFL]

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

Boxing out would be nice to see and yet it seems to be not part of our game plan at all. The simple things could make this game much closer, but we fail to focus on those areas, and rely on our athleticism.

Sad....Sad...Game

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

I agree.

I said it before in the Jamal Crawford thread that will take a step back if he is replaces Joe.

[geeman]

you know I thought we were over games like this!!! this just piss me off!!! I don't mine the lost
but to be blown out the way we handled this team the last 3 game

[ATL DirtyBird]

Smoove doesnt give a eff. Hes not running, hes not hustling, hes whining, and wont even run the floor on fast breaks. I cant believe he doesnt realize that he determines how this team plays. If he plays with energy, so does the team. Damn him.

It was just last game, where I said on this board "ive never seen Josh play with this much energy." Sad, sad, sad. I cant blame JJ if he wants to leave. This is unacceptable.

Can anyone give me the background info on why Barry doesn't like Woodson?

[Hawkeyes]

Orlando fans are probably looking at the 2nd round as a bye. I don't blame them.

Can anyone give me the background info on why Barry doesn't like Woodson?

Woodson made fun of him for being a bald headed loser that never amounted to anything in the pros after he made a very insulting comment about Atlanta last year. Ok, I exagerrated it, but Woodson called him out on the comment and threw in an insult of his own.

Oh...I think I remember now. His comments aren't really "wrong"...but Barry sounds like he's trying to get Woodson fired.

[evildallas]

Let me say kudos to the Bucks, they outplayed us every way possible. Joe tried to carry the team long enough for other players to wake up but it didn't happen. I sincerely hope that a big reason was our pathetic effort. I hope it isn't the result of Skiles changes in defensive assignments because I don't know how well we counter-move.

[OMagic1989]

I for one do not look at you guys as a bye week at all. Way too much talent. No center and you need a new coach but you guys are dangerous if motivated.

I will not enjoy playing or beating you guys. I HATE THE CELTICS and the CAVS. I enjoy beating them VERY VERY much. Off topic Tyson Chandler is a little manbitch, just had to say it. Good luck see you next round.

[Master8492]

The things that stand out is the lack of effort. When the Bucks were down big, they played their hearts out to get into the game. When the Hawks are down big on the road... they seemed content to go into the next game. Yeah, you probably going to win the series base on home court advantage, but you can't have that attitude in the next series.

I still dont see how "Milwakee looks like an NBDL team out there without Bogut." is worthy of putting in your sig...but anyway...
