ATL (5-3) vs CLE (4-3)

[Hawk Eye]

Figured I'd get a quick game thread up since tip off is happening shortly. I wont be around much though fellas, the Georgia & Auburn game comes first tonight

[Rip2137]

Just have to weather this storm. They aren't going to keep shooting like this.

[Hawkeyes]

How lucky is this? They can shoot from 3 with a blindfold and make it

[DirtybirdGA]

What an ass whoopin...what else is on?

[Hawk Eye]

I'm out watching the Georgia vs Auburn game and justs saw the score flashed across the bottom of ESPN...

Seriosuly? 27-60? What the F*** is going on?

[Rip2137]

Cavs went 11-11 from 3...nothing you really can do there.

Good thing though is Muscala and Jenkins can make their case for more minutes.

[Hawk Eye]

Wow.. Bud jutst needs to throw the game then. Put in big Mike, JJ, and Payne.

Hawks can't buy a 3 in the first half. lets see if they can turn things around in the second half.

Cavs are hitting like 80% from three, you can't beat any team that is doing that, so i think its just luck.

[Rip2137]

Call me crazy, but I am not throwing in the towel on this game yet. There were a few open shots but for the most part they were hitting contested 3's and I don't buy that. If we can get this down to 15 after 3, I think we can pull it out.
If they come out kinda warm, we can pack this in.

Bud lost this game when he stayed with the bench too long

Of course, basketball teams come back from 30pts from time to time, its nothing new.

It had nothing to do with bud. They are +36 points from 3 against us. Starter/backup....nothing would have changed that.

[Rip2137]

Extended minutes for the bench is nice.

Bazemore: Just needs to be out of the rotation. I stated my feelings on him before the signing and again, you can't trust dantoni players stats.

Jenkins: Saw some good but his defensive energy was lacking. I was hoping he would pounce on the opportunity but gave okay defensive effort and looked good offensively.

Muscala: Just give this kid more minutes. Best looking of the bench crew tonight.

[eyeatoma]

Is Korver injured?

[atlantabbq99]

Hawks can't buy a 3 tonight, its that simple.

[SBM]

We were down 2 when Teague went to the bench in the 1st quarter, we were down 26 when he came back in the game. Teague was not and is not the answer but letting things get out of control that quickly before going back to your starters does not make sense at all.

[Hawkeyes]

That was as embarrassing as it gets.

[simon24]

They got outplayed and outcoached. Not having Carroll shouldn't be the cause of the deficit. Hopefully they beat the Lakers on Tuesday.

Coach said in his press conference, he was concerned about Korver's minutes playing back to back so he gave Jenkins minutes. I don't think I ever seen Bud do that.

[Yungsta404]

terrible game, one of the few hawks game in a long time, that I turn off at half time.

[ATL Boy]

ouch, glad I missed this one.
