Hawks look flat again just like the okc game. not much has changed. Time to watch something else.

So...what's up with AL?

Dude's been struggling big time this week.

Just a slump I guess, I'm confident that he'll get through it

I need to retract my previous statement on him. It clearly isn't a one game thing for Al. And I have no Idea why LD just ran him out there for quarters straight despite the struggles while Josh sat. We'll see if he get's up for a game against his good buddy, Noah.

Horford has really been dragging Josh, Lou, and Teague down lately. Josh has been the only guy who has been consistent the whole season, especially his jumpshot and scoring.

Horford's min slump is officially a full blow slump now. even when Horford plays PF, he looks bad, maybe Drew should just have more of Zaza/Ivan, because Al is having a negative impact on the team. Horford really needs to get it together because he is bring the whole team down on this losing streak

Call it the "SpirAl".

Philly had 20 fast break points and 40 points in the paint.

We had 11 fast break points and 24 points in the paint.

Hopefully we put this one behind us and show up tonight against Chicago.

Man, you guys have short memories around here. Josh is playing very well of late. At an All-Star level. But he was in one of the worst slumps of his career towards the start of the season. The first two weeks of the season, Josh's FG% hovered below 40%. He's been pretty steady since then.

Al had 17 pts and 9 rebs last saturday on 64% shooting. Before that he had a 7 game double-double streak going as well. His slump has lasted 3 games. I am concerned, but I wouldn't call it a full on slump if it hasn't even extended beyond a full week.

it is really no big secret here, Josh will show up again, it all depends on Horford. If Horford shows up or even has a half decent game, the Hawks should walk away an easy victory. If Horford has another stinker, then it will be a blowout by the bulls.

Just heard that john jenkins is gonna get an upgrade playing time

MaceCase · Post #15 » by **MaceCase** » Sun Dec 23, 2012 12:35 am

Just tuned in on mobile. With Louis starting I'd imagine Morrow and Jenk would be the bench fire power.

LOU WITH THE DUNK ON HINRICH

This is the type of fun free flowing offense we've experienced at the start of the season. Great to see the team get back to it after the last week of stinkers. Great bounce back all around, especially glad to see Al cooking again.

Ik that the game is over and all but I have to say that you never know who will "show up" any game, allow me to use an NFL term: "Any given Sunday" anything can happen any game, Josh showing up isn't a given (neither is Horford showing up)

tcorbin · Post #19 » by **tcorbin** » Sun Dec 23, 2012 3:10 am

finally a good game by Horford, and like i said, if Horford shows up, it will be an easy win for the Hawks. Josh, Lou and Teague brings it again, it really seems like every game is determined if Al has a bad game or average to good game.

good that we saw the good Al tonight, i hope we never see the bad lazy Al ever again.

Now that's more like it.

Horford is back! Young JJ did not get in the game early
as it was rumored. Someone woke up our Hawks after
the terrible one against the 76ers. In that one, Atlanta
simply lay down and quit on us - - They died right there
before our eyes.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!
