Was there ever a second that we thought Marbury would miss the shot?  Even after it hit the backboard?  

Heck no.  

Played a great game, and Diaw played his best as a Hawk.

Jackson needs to stop it with the threes.  

If we get the dunk by Shareef instead of the shot-clock call ... I think we get a different outcome.  That was an igniter.... it turned into a 4 point swing.  We missed the shot and then they scored.

Play.

lol Reef got took to the hole by Van Horn...That's pretty sad.

[Playmaker0017]

The only response I'm going to give you is --- you really are an idiot.

[Lascar78]

I second that

[chillzatl]

was JT's turnover with just under two minutes to go. We were up by, 1 or 2 at that point and them Marbury came down and hit a 3. Not the miracle bank shot 3, but a big shot none the less. After that they seemed to swell and we shrunk up a bit.

BUt still it was a good game and a good effort. I'm starting to see all the things that I enjoy in a basketball game. Good energy, hustle and close games. Now we've just got to get to where we can win them by 2 instead of losing them by 2.

Maybe you should check in the mirror. The point is that you
aren't going to win shyt if the team is allowing jumpshooters
like Van Horn and Houston to get to the basket. These guys
are jumpshooters....It comes down to defense. I hear Bob
"nobody gave Reef help" but nobody should need help defending Van Horn or Houston....You and stupid @ss
LASCAR know it's the truth...But your dyckriding fans
so you want to deny it and blame it on the coach because
that's all you know how to do.


But the again, Reef can't even defend a 40 year old Scottie
Pippen.

I give a lot of Credit to Jax.  He played a good game.  I have to give the big to Jacque Vaughn.  He committed several Stupid fouls.  I like the fact that he plays tight defense but sometimes, he just commits stupid fouls... However, I would much rather see him try and foul than to see JT say OLAY and another Guard have a career game.

Reef is learning to be the man down the stretch.  His play was applaudable.  At the end of the 3rd and in the fourth, Reef dominated.

[Hotlanta1981]

Reef's defense is still sorry. Defense is WAY more important than offense. But it isn't as bad as JT's defense. College
basketball can't be all that great if JT won a defensive
player of the year championship there.

[Diesel]

NO  Pessimist.

Reef's defense was average.  I read you ragging on KVH scoring on Reef, however, did you see KVH carry & take three steps on that play??  A HS ref would have called that.

And by the way, Jax dunked on Deke.  IS Deke a bad defender too?

As far as the belief that defense is better than offense, that's wrong.  They are equal.  The fact that Reef can carry a team on his back offensively is more important than if he can keep his man from Scoring on one play.  9 times out of ten, it's not Reef's man that beats us.

[Hotlanta1981]

Deke is a nobody on defense now. He got scored over plenty of times last night. Sadly, his offense looked better than his
defense last night. traveled? lol yeah whatever. Whenever
Reef is exposed againest a player one on one he losses the
battle most of the time. He has done a better job in the
4th periods though...ALot better.


How long as it been since a real score first offense has won
a title?

Hots, where are you when the Hawks win? you have absolutely NO comments. Granted, the board in general is more quite...but this is rediculous. They lose a close one, showing effort and losing on a fluke play, and you come out of the wood works, but on nights we win, to steal a line from Point Break, you're like a virgin on prom night GONE, nowhere to be seen or heard from...

I'm not saying your rebuilding plan is wholeheartedly wrong. The way to win a championship in the NBA, and esp. in ATL, is through star power, an exciting player, and that's through the draft, 9 times out of 10, but come on man...

[Gray Mule]

The REAL turning point was at the free throw line.

New York got more points there than we did and it won
the game for them.  If Hawks hit their's, they win.

[Hotlanta1981]

Win? What? Looking at the win/loss record...When they do win it's due to dumb luck. I just can't see the point in praising
a team that wins less than 3 out of every 10 games.

[Focus]

Hot, ur pain in the a$$.  what can satisfy you?  A line up with Shaq/Duncan/Vince/Kobe/Kidd?  KVH score a basket on Reef and ur acting like the end of the world.  If ur that high on KVH, lets trade Reef for KVH.  I am sure Thomas will do it and send u a BMW for free.  If we put Reef on 3 last nite I am sure Reef will score 30+ and KVH will foul out by 1/2 time.
The fact is KVH is a NBA player, [censored] a very good offensive player.  Another NBA player should be somehow able to score no matter who is guarding him.
