About time the Hawks take the floor this season!

[MaceCase]

Seriously, 3 days of official basketball before the Hawks have had their first game.

Can't wait to see a new offense that isn't handicapped by the isolation

Oh, there will be plenty Isouis Louis

[MaceCase]

Tentative update from C-Viv, starting lineup is Teague, Harris, Korver, Josh & Horf but LD is still mulling going bigger at the 2*

[ATL Boy]

Lets make this season a memorable one

[ATL Boy]

Harris is on fire with 9 first quarter points, we're running on the break, it would be nice to get Horford involved though. On a side note I completely agree with our fans when they were chanting "overrated" when Lin was at the line.

[ATL Boy]

Incredibly frustrating 1st half, can we not get a dam rebound?!?! Stevenson with a big 3 at the halftime buzzer and we're down by 9

[Jamaaliver]

Does L Drew hate Anthony Morrow?

We need a real Center. Even a Mediocre 7-footer like Asik makes a huge difference.

Harden looks legit. Wish we'd gotten in on that action.

I hate watching Josh Smith play basketball.

[smittylo]

Hope Larry Drew realizes that Kyle Korver is not a starting SF in the NBA. James Harden is the truth. Anthony Morrow has not seen any burn tonight. Wonder why? Lou Williams along with DeShawn off the bench were heaven sent.

[Jamaaliver]

On a side note I completely agree with our fans when they were chanting "overrated" when Lin was at the line.

I love that Lin responds by nearly dropping a triple-double on us.

1 good game this season and 1 good month last season doesn't make him a superstar, the only reason we had to suffer through the "linsanity" crap was because he was playing for the Knicks in a huge market and because the Chinese media blew him up as much as they did Yao, only difference is that Yao actually lived up to the hype when healthy (its not his fault that he was hurt alot) so yes I do think he's overrated despite the media love.

[Jamaaliver]

I do think he's overrated despite the media love.

He got the last laugh tonight. Even with Harden's 45, the Rockets don't win this game without Lin running the offense, taking pressure off JH.

[NeZoRiL]

Was hard to watch this game. Harden lit us up. Whatever, we just need to forget about it and move on.

[Rip2137]

we went inside a lot.

Harden went 15-17 from the free throw line.

The HAWKS TEAM went 15-17 from the free throw line.

Take that in a minute.

The 8 more fouls and 12 more free throw attempts certainly didn't help our case.

[ATL Boy]

Is it just me or was Harden getting some special treatment from the refs, especially in the end when he got 3 free throws when Stevenson barely touched him

[MaceCase]

Well I won't be able to make a game thread tonight, was supposed to make it before I went to work but oh well, since this is still stickied.

If someone else wants to create one then they can feel free to do it. I have been asleep most of the afternoon so I didn't do it either.

We can just have it in here if no one else does.
