Quote: disclaimer: i didn't see game that said, i blame woody for his subs and jj for throwing up 3s all game long like he's arenas now this is a good point. I was thinking the same thing watching this game. He played a lot like Arenas usually plays. And Arenas played pretty much under control the entire game, even though he only shot 5 - 15. He deferred to Caron a lot today, because he had the hot hand.

You Josh Smith fans are incredible. JJ gets the blame because our "best" shooter on the team can't be going 8 - 24. That just can't happen. Smith always makes questionable plays down the stretch of games. Yes, I'll applaud him for attacking the rim, but he has to play within his limitations. When you go against a team 1 on 4, and you have a chance to set up your half court offense, that's just not smart basketball. And if you want to talk about the lack of rebounding, remember . . Smoove IS our PF. He's a guy that, honestly, should be leading this team in rebounds, seeing how athletic he is. And he had a total of 4 rebounds. Just like we can't have JJ going 8 - 24, we can't have Smoove grabbing just 4 rebounds in a game. If it makes you guys feel better, I'll place 75% of the blame on JJ, and 25% of the blame on Smoove.

Quote: We were outscored by 18 points while Law was in. Regardless, Woody is the worst coach in the NBA today. Easy. Yeah . . strange how that all turned out. I didn't see the 1st half of this game, so I don't know if Acie was playing horrible defense or not. LOL . . then again, his defense can't be much worse than Lue's. Oh well . . 2 - 4 . . a record that most of us would've taken in the first 6 games, before the season started. It doesn't matter which 6 or 7 games we win this month. As long as we reach that total. Anything less than that should see a lot of heat being put on Woody. He's going to have to make a Jeff Fisher / Vince Young type decision on Law. Either put him on the bench and bring him along slowly . . or make a commitment to play him 30 minutes a game.

Quote: When you cant play defense and cant rebound for nothing you will not win many games at all. This is a pathetic defensive performance. Joe Johnson looks down right awful and Josh Childress why is even in the game we need another big guy in there to rebound the ball. Woodson didnt play Shelden Williams not 1 minute... Just a bad bad loss. Chill was in the backcourt playing with JJ. That's a big team to put on the floor for the most part. But we got outworked today. And a young athletic team like ours should never get outworked.

Quote: Quote: god, we suck. FIRE WOODY this one isn't woodson's fault. from halftime on he's told this team to attack, attack, attack. it's not him fault josh and joe are jacking up 25 ft three's when their main rebounder is either out of the game or with 5 fouls. you stick to the gameplan and you'll win the game. these guys don't do that. when the spurs, pistons, and celtics have a gameplan they stick to it. when the bobcats, blazers, and hawks have a gameplan. the stick to it for five possessions and then go into rucker league mode and start chucking. I agree. JJ and Smoove have to take the brunt of the blame for this one. Even Lue didn't "kill" us today.

Quote: Quote: Good Lord. All of those fine women in D.C. I need to make a trip there soon. there in Atlanta... LOL . . I know they're in Atlanta as well. But I'm in Atlanta at least once a month.

Wow . . another offensive rebound, and put back. It might be a long day for me. Hawks looks like they'll lose, and the Bengals playing like a high school team these days.

Good Lord. All of those fine women in D.C. I need to make a trip there soon.

Quote: Joe needs to stop fading away EVERY shot he takes He can make the fadeaway, but it's obviously not falling lately, so I agree. When his momentum takes him toward the basket, he makes a lot more shots.

big 3-ball miss by JJ . . and they get the lay-up on the other end. that might be the game. Wiz up 9

wow . . another foul on the Wiz. Please hit your FT's down the stretch of this game. Good job Smoove . . 5 point game now.

Smoove goes 1 on 4? Horford held the ball up, passes to Smoove. Then he goes 1 on 4? That could cost us the game right there. Make a shot in that possession, we're down 5 or 6. Now, we're down 9

Quote: Big possession right here after Caron's FT's. Offensive execution needs to be almost flawless the rest of the game. And we need for the Wiz to go cold for about 3 minutes. LOL . . so much for that. Horrible shot by JJ. Smoove was open . . out by the 3 point line of course.

Quote: Quote: But he immeadiately makes up for it. That's why you gotta love the kid like a 4 year old toddler. You know he's going to mess up, but he'll do something to make you smile. i wish he dunked it like he use to! I've been noticing that too. That's why I have what I have in my sig. I wish Nique would break out some old Shawn Kemp games against the Hawks, and show Smoove how to go to the hole aggresively, even while in traffic.

(( sigh )) @ Smoove taking that 3.

When playing zone, you gotta know the personnel on the court. Jamison is a shooter that CAN'T be left open. Good job Horford with the 2 FT.

Great pass by Marvin. Hawks in a zone now. Look for Arenas to look for his shot.

They have 13 offensive rebounds right now. Gotta hold them to more than 2 more the rest of the way.

Violet must be a Hawks fan. She hasn't called one foul going against us in the last 7 minutes. Hit em both Josh, please. there's one there's two. good job.

Marvin's new nickname . . . "Money" Marvin.

Quote: Joe is 6-17, 10 of those shots are from 3 point range. He needs to take better shots if we want to have a chance of winning this game I agree

Good move by Caron to shake JJ, but a better defensive play by Marvin drawing the charge. Caron has improved so much as a player. Would've been nice for JJ to hit that last jumper to cut it to 11. LOL . . then Lue passes up an open shot and forces one at the end while double-teamed. Down 13. Not impossible to get back in the game with the way the Wiz play, but we probably need them to go through a 4 minute cold spell to open this quarter. 2nd chance points . . 15 - 5 in favor of the Wiz. That's the difference in the game.

Quote: Everytime Lue is on the court I feel like crying,i really do! LOL. Good pass by the Atlanta shooting guard the people don't think passes the ball. If Marvin hits both (( waiting )) . . 12 point game. Damn . . Stevenson with the BIG 3. back up to 15. I'm glad Violet is helping us out, getting us to the FT line.
