Pero doing work this game. Glad he's picking himself up out of that slump.

Defense would be nice.

Shooting ourselves back into the game behind Dennis and Pero. We should let them ride until they cool down.

Goddamn Westbrook is a monster. Hate rooting against him.

Has Antic raised his 3PT% by 10 points yet?

DirtybirdGA · Post #8 » by **DirtybirdGA** » Sat Mar 21, 2015 1:18 am

Maybe 5.

This team forcing layups again. 3 consecutive drives by Jeff and Dennis when they had open 3s.

Put in Pero if everyone else is scared to shoot.

Just folded in the 4th.

I'm sick of life without Korver and Thabo.

The good news is that Pero finally seems to be gaining some confidence, nice to see him not hesitate on the open 3.

If you would have told me that Pero Antic would have a career high 22 points and go 4/6 from three for this game then I would have said that you sir are smoking the greatest weed on this earth.

Sucks that we lost this one. Such an odd game where both offenses were blazing hot but our fire ran out in the 4th while theirs only got stronger. On to San Antonio.

First division title since before I was even born, that's something to celebrate, even if we took the L tonight.

It's not like there are other good teams in the Hawks division.

Hawks back down to earth. Can't win against teams on the road and so they're hoping for some home cooking. Honestly though... They barely beat Houston at home when they were missing both Harden and Howard.

Most other teams have delt with serious injuries this year. The Hawks lose a couple of minor players and they start dropping games.

The fairlytale ride is over. Hawks better hope they can still win at hope because they're not beating good teams in the road anymore.

Btw, the team is only 13-8 since the start of Feb. Not very impressive.

Yeah it's all over. They're only 10-5 since all-star break and now lost TWO IN A ROW!

Seriously?

13-8 since the start of Feb. That's basically after the 19-0 streak was ended.

It was a nice couple of months, but this not that great of a team.

They've been blown out like 3 times since the all star break and those losses to Philly and last night were not very good.

I can't really think of anything noteworthy that this team has done since the all star break outside of that one win against the Cavs. This team isn't playing anywhere near as well as they were before. Which is to be expected... But at the same time, they're not a great team.

Maf · Post #19 » by **Maf** » Sat Mar 21, 2015 11:47 am

Yeah yeah. And two games ago it was 13-6 which is about 0.68 which would still lead whole Eastern conference for a season. You're overacting too much to two L's.

Put it this way. Hawks are 12-5 since february with Korver on the floor. 1-3 without him. You can say Korver is minor injury but he's much more important to what this team play.

Plus, I might be wrong, this is only my opinion. It seems to me Bud tries couple of new plays. The old ones work great so now he wants team to master more plays. Like how many times you see that play with two bigs at top of the key? Hawks scored almost every time they run this play. I don't see this one that often now.

Honestly, I don't think the next 8-9 games mean anything. We can go 4-9 from here on out and clinch the #1 seed REGARDLESS of what the Cavs do the rest of the way. I would rather Bud keep going with his plan of letting the injuries completely heal up and getting his starters some rest here and there than throwing everything we have at these relatively meaningless games. And if what Maf says is true in regards to trying out new plays, then even better! Actually, I'd like to see our backups getting even more burn in these next 8-9 games. With that being said, however, I would like to see us bring back Korver and Thabo back for the last 4-5 games in order to build up a little momentum as we head to the playoffs.
