He's a great player, I'm just saying look how many shots he took to get his 34.... I like our chances in a 7 game series too if it comes down to that.

I watched that game yesterday the heat had control of the game at the end but they were  awful finishing the game. The last couple of plays was stand 5 ft behind the three point, wait til the shot clock was down to 3 secs and jack up a contested long 2 pointer and when they got the o-rebound they did not waste anymore clock but just jacked up a quick shot and missed.

You know what? The Hawks' 8-2 record without Al Horford -- with only three of those wins coming against teams (Wolves, Blazers, Bucks) playing what you'd call decent basketball -- is a touch easier to explain than the fact Horford was averaging only a modest 12.4 ppg and 7.0 rpg when he got hurt.

Another insult by Espn directed at the Hawks? I think so.

It certainly sounds like it could be insulting ... although their ranking of us at #9 seems far more accurate than NBA.com having us 4th.  Any honest fan would tell you that we're not the 4th best team in the league, hell we're not even the 4th best team in the East, at least not without Al.
