VS.

Back to back for both teams. They were just blown out by Boston at home. They have Stuckey and Bynum who will give us fits. Same with Villunueva.

Go Hawks!

They do always give us fits don't they?? But i just think the Hawks finally put it all together here, similar to the 1st game against Memphis. 5-0 let's Go!!!

They start Austin Daye as their PF......Whoever is on him from Smoove, Marvin, Horf, or Joe, I want them posting him early and often. Rip may be out too with a foot injury and Bynum is nursing an injury as well so they have no backup guards outside of McGrady's corpse. Bibby, Jamal, and Teague may actually be too much to handle for Stuckey tomorrow considering the minutes he played and will have to play in the game.
Hopefully Mo is back too because Joe's minutes have been skyrocketing over the last couple games he's missed.

Let's hope Josh bounces back with a better defensive game Wednesday at home.

Charlie Villanueva could still be a emotional wreck after facing Kevin Garnett last night. He took his frustrations to twitter last night after the game.

Charlie Villanueva says that Kevin Garnett called him a "cancer patient" during Tuesday's game.
KG is a notorious trash talker, but joking about cancer is clearly way below the belt. Villanueva suffers from alopecia universalis, a disease that prevents him from grwoing hair. Villanueva posted this on his Twitter page: "KG talks alot of crap, he's prob never been in a fight, I would love to get in a ring with him, I will expose him."

^^^ While it is no revelation to myself (or Hawks fans in general) that Garnett is a d-bag, I'm curious how player sentiment will fall on this incident. I suspect there will be some backlash on Charlie V airing court talk in the tweetosphere.

Michael Wilbon just picked the Pistons to win on ESPN. Didn't think we could use the no respect card tonight, but I guess we can. Time to represent.

As the segment ended he "Pistons better be at home."

Ben Wallace has some really odd chin hair.

How many wide open transition 3s has JJ missed this year?

ATL DirtyBird · Post #14 » by **ATL DirtyBird** » Wed Nov 3, 2010 11:58 pm

Josh is draining jump shots. Feel free to shoot me now.

I couldn't agree more

The Pistons have beaten the Hawks to just about EVERY loose ball.

ATL DirtyBird · Post #17 » by **ATL DirtyBird** » Thu Nov 4, 2010 12:37 am

Another wide open trasnition 3 missed by Joe.

ATL DirtyBird · Post #18 » by **ATL DirtyBird** » Thu Nov 4, 2010 12:42 am

1 thing ive noticed: we havent got the explosive/exciting plays that spark us this year. No fastbreak dunks or anything. Hopefully we can get that going.

ATL DirtyBird · Post #19 » by **ATL DirtyBird** » Thu Nov 4, 2010 12:58 am

And another missed 3 in transition.

Can't just sleepwalk through 4 quarters and expect to win. Absurd amount of off rebs conceded.
