Hawks / Jazz

[SmooveTheFuture]

Do you understand that Salim can only do 1 thing well and that is shoot if he cant shoot the ball he should not be on the court. The guy is selfish, has no heart and flat out sucks. 1 good game out of 10 does not make you nba material.

[TheDude]

i also think that utah is playing excellent defense and we're not used to that from the last two teams we played.

So much venom for our 4th pg and second round pick. Did he snub you for an autograph? You sound like a hater.

that dunk at the end by med was BEFORE the buzzer..there was like .02 on the clock. aren't the refs supposed to review all shots or are they calling goaltending?

---

They called a violation.

Sick dunk by Marvin though.

No i just living in reality I dont want guys who suck playing on this team. Salim is bad more then he is good. He can only shoot and if he cant hit his shots which happens alot what good is he for please tell me.

what about his defense do you not like? he's quick, pretty good and staying in front of his man and he hussles. he can get shot over due to his height but i don't see a lot bad defense. his passing is average at best, i definitely agree there. he may be a frowner but definitely has heart. anybody who hates losing that much has heart whether his displays it in a bad or good way. if he didnt have heart, he wouldnt get pissed. i think what we see a lot of time on what we deem the selfish plays is him going for the score. i've noticed when he drives to the basket, he's got the step on the defender due to his quickness and really should take those if he can as any player should (aka speedy) so would you tell him not take his man to the hole if he can beat him? his problem on selfishness that i agree with you on are those out of nowhere heaves when he's still moving. you never see him wait for the pass and shoot from where he catches it at. he's always moving and i think that hurts his shot. if he was set and shot, he'd be a lot better i think.

i'm just trying to analyze the parts of his game so that we get a fair picture of what he can do and where he still needs to really focus his improvement at. as long as he gets few minutes a game, he will continue to try to do stupid things (moving shots) to make a positive impact in the game (Aka force the issue). as he learns to pace himself, he will get better. i think if salim really works on these things, he can become an important scorer off the bench for us.

Our fastbreak has degenerated into Josh Smith grabbing a rebound and attempting to go one-on-four while the rest of the team jogs up the floor.

I'm glad Josh still wants to run, but those missed layups aren't really helping our cause, especially since Utah just runs back the other way then finds Okur for another open three.

[Duff_Man]

Okur is on the All-Star bubble as a replacement...this game should get him in.

[SmooveTheFuture]

Milsap out playing Shelden hardcore. Milsap was the steal of the draft by far and we got the dud of the draft go figure.

[TheDude]

i want this game to end. it's pure torture. we can't hit a shot for anything. and they hit them all. they get all the lucky bounces, last second shots, and rebounds. every time we get a chance to make a play, it falls short or in and out of the rim. this just isnt our night. we need to try to get out of this game with some assemblence of pride.

our guys just cannot get the ball in the hoop tonight.

this game is driving me insane

A road win against the Jazz would do wonders for my opinion of this team. Good call on the defense point. It will be a different game tonight.

That's us on the left.

[HawksFan87]

dirty foul by the punk for Utah on Marvin, Smoove pushed him back . Atleast they are taking up for each other....

[AtLaS]

why is Smith still in?? Give Solomon some time!

[TheDude]

there i was defending salim to a point last night trying to examine his weaknesses/strenghts and at the end of the game with the young guys trying to get some playing time, he starts heaving up shots. you're killing me salim.
