Quote: The iso's are getting old, but in Joe's defense, no one else is capable of consistently creating their own shot. You mean in Woody's defense, since he's the one giving it to JJ in those situations . . but you're right, no one else can create their own shot. Snow did a great job in defending JJ last night.

Quote: What a horrible game for JJ. 8 turnovers! I can't remember the last time Joe had 8 turnovers. Joe needs to recognize when he's not hot and pass the ball. 8-20 shooting. Smoove was hot in the 4th quarter, but Joe wouldn't let him take over. And WHERE OH WHERE WAS THE RUNNING GAME??? It seemed like we were in a halfcourt set every possession with T.Lue dribbling around. Good gameplan Woody! The Cavs are tired and shorthanded, so you think we would run at every opportunity??? JJ had some real bad TOs tonight. I think he had 4 in the 4th quarter alone. The one where he was driving late in the 4th was especially horrible. That entire sequence during that time just looked bad. The team just looked off from the jump. I could tell it rigt from the 1st quarter. I guess the Laker win just took a lot out of them emotionally. Smoove didn't come alive untl the 4th, and JJ started well, but faded at the end.

Quote: he decided to put Horford in the last 20secs. Good going Woody! Leaving Horford out didn't bother me because the Hwks mde their run with Horford out of the game. Then the Cavs went small, and surrounded Lebron with 3 shooters + Snow to defend JJ. If Horford was in, he'd ended up on Lebron. But Woody did stay with Lue too long. After he came in for AJ, he stayed with Lue the rest of the game. That guy is absolutely clueless on defense, and a liability on offense if he's not making shots. Lue is like that girl that you can't stand . . . but the sex is good . . . so you keep fooling around with her . . . even though you know that you need to leave that ish alone.

lmao @ the entire crowd teling lue to go on that last possession. His dribbling globetrotter azz.

woody hs to etlue out on thui defensive possession . . but he didnt. Lets see what happens.

Blame the coach if you want . . this team just flat out plays stupid at times. Cavs have 14 in the quarter. If they get to 100, we probably lose.

Quote: Why is the Hawks coach a retard monkey on crack? Is he a retard now? We're up 1 with the ball. Larry Hughes may be hurt.

Hughes is playing football out there. How is that a no-call?

Good block by Smoove. Maybe that'll get him and the team going. Score here and we're back in the game.

We need either a 30+ point quarter, or hold the Cavs to 18 or lss points, to pull this game out. Snmoove with 4 points total. Marvin with 2 in the half. I think JJ has missed his last 4 shots. LOL . . not good. good shot JJ.

Damn, this indian/middle eastern looking chick in front of me is BEAUTIFUL. And a damn tight petite body with a booty to go along with it. Too bad she's with her man. Uh oh . . Zaza coming in at the next dead ball.

Marvn needs to go quick on his post up. Wow @ this team. Dumb passes and missed dunks. Them the give Lebron the cheap foul.

Quote: Lue is definitely sucking tonight and Acie did finally get in at the end of the 2nd quarter. Let's hope that Acie gets some playing time in the 2nd half. We aren't going to win tonight though unless Smoove gets our energy up. It seems like we are live/die with the way that Smoove controls the game on both ends of the floor. That's a good move by Woody taking Smith out the game. He is lifeless out there tonight. And this is what I was talking about in the other thread. If we didn't have Marvin, we'd have to put Shelden/Zaza in, instead of leaving Marvin in to play PF, and insert Chill as SF. This group MIGHT get us back in the game: Lue JJ Chill Marvin Al We'll see how they play these next 3 minutes. Damn, we canmt grab a rebound

Quote: since you are at the game ... yeah we do need to get rid of Woody because he is doing a terrible job with his joysticks tonight on defense and on offense. Come on Woody, pay attention to those controllers in your hand. LOL Damn . . Lue is about to come in already.

Quote: Geez, I have to say this all the time, but I beg for the day we get a new HC... How are we getting owned by Ira Newble, Hughes, etc? Hughes has talent, so I'm not surprised at him.. He's just erratic. But Newble is the guy doing it on both ends. Everytime Smoove tries to post him up, Ira holds his ground and makes Smoove take a tough shot. Don't forget Gibson. He's knocking down shots too. It's all about defense though folks. Gotta defend better. The scary part of this game is that Lebron is coasting out there.

Smoove is having alot of trouble with Newble guarding him.

Quote: Anybody else feel like we're losing to this crew? Teke, I'm at the game. And i was kind of getting that feeling toward the end of the 1st quarter. This is the strangest Hawk game I've ever been to. Capacity crowd here too. Maybe it's because neither Smoove nor Lebron has done anything spectacular.

(( sigh )) Everything breaks down without JJ in the game. The refs are letting alot of contact go on both ends. Transiton D is not good tonight.

we have to take advantage of this mini-me lineup the Cavs are playing. They've gone somewhat big to start the 2nd.

Wow . . and they immeadiately take advantage of Lue. He gets it back though with the jumper.

Funny feel to this game. Everybody seems to be coasting right now. Ugh @ Rashawn's hair . . body is stll tight though.

Wow @ the Cavs starting lineup. No Gooden. Snow, Hughes, Gibson, Lebron, and Z. They're prepating to run with us I guess.

Quote: Quote: The best of both worlds would be to move Chill for Miller. The 9+ million a year deal probably kills that move though. What do think Chills will make on his new deal....$7 mill per ? If Chills is making $5 mill then keep him but if he wants more then get a more complete player in Miller for the $9 mill. He would be very tradeable in the last year of his deal if Marvin blows up. Easy for me to say its not my money. The only trade I recall the ASG making where they actually take back salary is the 2nd round pick for AJ......which barely qualifies. Damn cheapscapes ! I'd do the Miller for Chill deal. But i also know the mentality of the ASG. I see enough of Mike to know that he'd be loved and hated here. When he'd start getting lit up by whomever he's guarding, he'd be treated like some treat Lue.

it's definitely a problem sir, if we do it now. It's a domino effect. Take Marvin away, and a guy like Zaza may have to play 5 - 10 more minutes a night, even if Horford assumes the backup PF role. Either that, or Shel / Solo have to get minutes. If you add a good quality center, then you're right. It's not a problem. Add Miller to the squad, and we're deeper at the 2 & 3, which may allow JJ to rest more. The best of both worlds would be to move Chill for Miller. The 9+ million a year deal probably kills that move though.

The problem with that swap, is that Marvin is both our starting SF and our backup PF. Lose him, and we're forced to play Shelden and Solo and hope they produce.
