Hawks favored to win by 6.5.

Hawks starting line up

PG - Teague
SG - Harris
SF - Korver
PF - Smith
C - Horford

I think it should be an easy win for the Hawks. Horford and Josh should just pound the middle... thats what she said.

Finally gameday, I kinda hate having all this time off after a frustrating loss.

slow start for the hawks...

55-45 Toronto's advantage at Halftime

Teague is 0-3 with 3 turnovers for 0 points.

Korver has a team high 11 points on 4-6 shooting.

We're getting killed on the boards: TOR- 28 ATL - 14

This is all with Bargnani, Gay, Calderon or Ed Davis out, traded or otherwise unavailable.

We need a starting center.

Hawks come out of the half on a 7-0 run to make a game of it.

Al & Josh doing the heavy lifting.

Jeff Teague just beautifully worked the clock: got the ball at 35:0, let the ball roll to halfcourt, blew by everyone to take the layup with 32 seconds left, so we could have a 2-to-1 shot attempt at the end of the 3rd qtr. It worked, as Ivan scored with 7 seconds left.

One extra basket - it may seem small...

Then Pargo has a brain freeze and fouls a halfcourt throw.

33 seconds in the game, we're losing by 1, and what do we do? We pass the ball to Josh Smith under our own basket! He, of course, dribbles slowly up the court, until Drew says something and calls timeout.

Now TOR gets the last shot.

Devin Harris got killed in the 4th by lowery. Drew stayed with the bench too long as well. Hope we can still this.

Great Pass by Josh. Nice finish by AL.

Big Time block by AL on the other end.

Man I love AL Horford....

Rip2137 · Post #10 » by **Rip2137** » Thu Jan 31, 2013 2:57 am

Well he got fouled but seeing as all the blown calls went the raptors way, I have no sympathy.

Crazy finish.

Al fouled the h3ll outta Johnson. Then made a brilliant basketball play to seal it.

How many times have the hawks run that play that got us the go ahead bucket? LD does have some solid plays out of timeouts.

finally, the Hawks got a fair call from the refs. Horford clearly did not foul and just had his hands up and it was DeRozan who swung his arms into Horford because he was trying to rush the shot

Toronto is gonna be really good next season. I like the pieces they have in DeRozan, Lowry and R Gay.

They finally seem like they will put it all together.

Not sure what you watched, but that was an obvious foul. Look for the league to apologize once again to the Raptors this year.

TC is a very passionate homer who loves all things Hawks.

Clearly it was a foul. It's a tough loss. But congrats on landing Gay.

You guys have big things coming...and soon.
