Thank god Danny Ferry stood up to Varejo, too.

OK...on that note, I am off to go get some beers in me. Maybe if I leave, it will spark a huge run.

Horf needs to go after Dampier EVERY PLAY.

Acie looks great this game so far. He is so fast and can get to the hole and open up a lot. Once he can get jumpers to fall...look out.

What a fantastic pass by Law....Zaza effed it all up.

1. We made a nice little run there to close the gap. Horford wanted to take over. Acie looks healed. 2. I am moving to Dallas. The girls at this game are SMOKING hot.

Not that I am for or against it, but it looks like Philly is starting to move players. Korver just went to Utah for Giricek and a pick. Trade

Just ordered food from the bar across the street. I am firing up the rum and am here for at least the first half. T McC - you have shamed me into staying.

This is the first time we've had a winning record at this point in nine years! Each game we win, our confidence grows. If we can beat the Mavs again, I think it really says something about where we are going. I actually went to see Sweeney Todd on Wednesday. I hate musicals, but it was done pretty well. I am debating staying here for some of the game. Decisions, decisions!

Quote: Quote: I will be at the bar drinking and watching bowl games, but I am DVRing it. This is the biggest Hawks game in 10 years and you're going to go pay $4 for a beer and watch, what is it today, the carquest Bowl or something? What gives? I assure you there is a female involved. And I don't think this is the biggest game in 10 years...I am DVRing it. Maybe I will stay here for the 1st half.

I will be at the bar drinking and watching bowl games, but I am DVRing it. If everyone could be so kind as to NOT post about the game until I have watched it, I would greatly appreciate it. DAL/ATL posts can commence around 7pm tonight. Thanks!

I used to say Harlan, but since he got promoted out of Minny to the big time, he has watered down his funny stuff for national TV. I do love the Hawks TV team. Is Chich Hearn the old Boston announcer..."Bird with the steal....underneath to DJ....ITS GOOD !!!!! What a great call....he had that Larry Munson growl in his voice. Who is Gus Johnson ? C'mon, man! Chick Hearn was the voice of the Lakers for 60 years! You are thinking of Johny Most. And I think he ended that call with "DJ lays it in", not "it's good". He was awesome. Another favorite is the Pittsburgh Steelers football announcer. His name escapes me at the moment. Myron Cope. He is an idiot. I can't stand his voice. Bad bad bad college memories of their 1995 SB run.

Check out this site. Scroll down to check out how he breaks down the Indy D and their philosophy. He uses highlights of our game against them to demonstrate. Thought the site was very worth it to read as well. Highly informative. Coaching Better Bball

I am expecting a loss at Dallas. We have at Cleveland and at Indy after that, followed by a nice home stand. I am hoping we can come out of these three road games with 2 wins. Would be nice to come home with 2 more wins. The 5 home games are all winnable games. Best case scenario: 6-2. Worst case: 4-4.

Horford is one of the most energetic and efficient players I have ever seen. He brings 110% every play. I think his attitude alone has helped the Hawks this year. He has been fantastic.

Quote: The Hawks still have defensive breakdowns when they get sizable leads. They did so with Indy tonight and gave Indy some open three's in the 4th when they should have totally nailed the game down and turned this game into a blowout. Woodson should limit Childress and ZaZa's 4th period minutes. They're the biggest weak links on the defensive side of the ball. I'm totally uneasy when Childress is guarding quick players late in the game. So now we are winning, but not by enough?

Quote: dallas has a 5 game winning streak... lets take it to them on saturday! I think we get killed in DAL on Saturday, but that is OK. We are winning more than losing and we are NOT folding anymore in tight games.

Zaza redeems himself!!

Quote: Horford's going to be a good offensive player in time. He has a lot of moves and that jumper is money. I see a playr very similar to Barkley with the way he bangs out there. He can handle the ball pretty well, too. He gets that offensive game down and look out!

Merry Christmas! Happy birthday, Santa!!

How did I know I would see the word "warrior"? Even on PTI, I knew it was coming and they said it no less than 4 times.

Quote: it was a big game for us, to move over .500 for the first time in nearly a decade, but it wasn't a big game beyond that. Miami stinks this season, they aren't just a good team that hasn't put it together yet. They are flat out a bad team. I wonder if we could get Shaq from them from filler and maybe a pick? Wow...could you imagine a Shaq coming here motivated to show he shouldn't have been traded? He'd probably look 28 again.

Quote: You know yesterday, I approached you (Sheedera) as a man... ...on the internet.

I would personally like to thank Ricky Davis for being a selfish idiot and taking the worst shot ever in close game history. Also, I LOVE the 2007-08 Hawks. We stick with it and get after it. Great effort tonight!
