scottt Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 This team irritates me to the point of distraction. From time to time we see flashes of completely compelling team basketball. We have talent. We have youth. And then we lost to the Bobcats by 100 points in 2 games over 2 days. I really hope we get to see this team totally healthy for a 25 game period. I think we would be a team that no one would want to play. Just my thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member hawkman Posted January 25, 2007 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Quote: Player of the game - J- SMOOOOOOOVEEEE. He's a keeper. He has really turned his game up since he has come back. That leads me to believe that he was very attentive to how the team was playing while he was out. I say that because he seems to be trying to bolster the inherent weaknesses of our team: Creating fast break opportunities even though our PG's are banged up, providing some semblance of interior defense, and being that second scoring option that we so desperately needed. I think this guy has a much higher bball IQ than he gets credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeye Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Yep, he set the tone in that 3rd quarter and than everybody got into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted January 25, 2007 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I like the way that he sees an opening and will drive. If he perfects this along with bringing the ball up quickly... He's going to be the man!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikeatlanta Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 The nucleus of Smoove, Johnson and Williams are keepers. we just need a starting point and a rebounding center cause offensive rebounds killed us thats why we got down early. the rest of the players we have are excellent complimentary players except for Lo. There was only one positive play out of a Woodson timeout, beginning of quarter or half during the whole game. Woodson should hold his players more accountable like he did tonight with Josh Smith. Smith was awful in the first quarter and missed a layup badly, Woodson then benched him for most of the first half until Smith subsequently substituted himself back in the game and responded positively. I caught Ivey looking at some Boston booty that was exiting the arena during a timeout instead of paying attention to Woody. Lorenzen Wright is a Senior Level bum.

GST Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I wonder if starting Lue, who often dominates the ball, hurt our offensive rhythm in the first half? Ivey doesn't produce much offense, but he doesn't hog the ball, either. I see Lue as a guy to bring off the bench when the team needs an offensive spark.

gsuteke Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Walter we're on the same page in this instance. however I'm not going to either a. pile on the Hawks or b. get twisted when they lose either way we're screwed as fans. if they could only get a top 3 pick this year i really want to believe they'd be fine. i really want to believe!

It is out of our control and very frustrating. I am just going to root for us to get lucky in the lottery rather than worry about it. Better to be lucky than good.

Premium Member Sothron Posted January 25, 2007 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I was very upset they came back to win that game. I actually watched that first half, what was it, 44-29 at half? Disgusting. I fell asleep on the couch and when I woke up the Hawks had somehow won the game. Even more disgusting. These idiots can't even tank correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJlaysitup Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Quote: ...Even more disgusting. These idiots can't even tank correctly. It looked like Woody was trying...after that blazing first 3/4 of the third quarter where JS lit up the Garden, he sat Josh for considerably longer than one would have expected (trying to cool him off and stiffen him up we figured)...yet, even with the offense running through Zaza and him turning the ball over a few times it didn't work out. The damage was done...the Celtics out-tanked us. As Diesel said (to paraphrase)...you gotta be careful with JS...he's an "Anti-tank" weapon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Diesel Posted January 25, 2007 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 The Hawks had broke the lead down from 18 to 11 and then 6 while Jefferson was in the game. They had no answer for our zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
