Hawks versus Trail Blazers

[DJlaysitup]

This is a pivotal game IMO...the only hope we have for the playoffs is winning this game and going on a run.

If we stink this one up we have a six game losing streak staring us in the face (tough games ahead).

Win - Hope - Lose - Tank....JMHO.

Will be nice to see Jarrett Jack play too.

- Off to the Chatroom!

Yeah GSU - I think we'd have to be a real mess to lose this one - - but that's why they play the games.

JC with a nice breakaway dunk!..and a few dunks by JS!

[gsuteke]

I'm at work so all I see is 10-4.

we are leaving at 8. i sure as hell won't be watching the Hawks when I get home though.

Portland beat New York last night. I think this game is a good litimus test for Atlanta. they got flattened by Miami but the Heat were coming off a 9 game winning streak before losing the previous game against Orlando.

the Pacers had a 30-9 1st quarter against the Heat tonight. I bet the Heat come back and win it.

lol why the hell is Josh Smith guarding Brandon Roy, he can't keep up with him, I'm surprised Roy hasn't blown by him yet.

But Smith does already have 3 blocks though.

[exodus]

No such thing with this team. Remember that we got blown out at home by NOK without Paul, Peja and West.

[AtLaS]

Does Martell Webster remind y'all of Marvin? They seem like the exact same player, except that Martell always takes 3's.

They are both essentially jumpshooters that were drafted too high, at least at this point.

I thought the Webster pick was horrible. He tested poorly at the combine, slow and cant jump. But he is a pure shooter, comfortable from 3.

Young Solomon is showing improvement with some minutes. He is not the least bit intimidated and seems fearless. Wish that Woody had started playing him about November. He's gonna be a good one. Maybe the steal of last years draft. +

Steve Smith and company sure are giving Brandon Roy a lot of hype. Basically saying he's a shoe in for R.O.Y.

[DJlaysitup]

Josh S. starts it out with a basket - 49-40.

Solomon is blocking shots like Smith. He does have a 39" vertical and has 3" more reach than Josh.

lue is the exact opposite of what we need on this team. he takes four straight shots and the lead dwindles.

Been a long time since Salim has been hot when they needed it. See if we can finish it off now.

If we let this guy go for a second round pick or role player we will solidify our place as possibly the worst front office in sports.

Salim is another example of the under developed young talent and now that he has been given a chance he's showing what he's got. He's deadly when he is in the zone.

[DrReality]

He gets more cuts than anyone I can remember. He looks like Jerry Quarry, the heavy weight fighter after he'd been in the ring with Ali. He needs to wear head gear.

[hawkman]

Why is Roy NOT on our team? It looks like he would have been a great fit here. Anyway, glad to see the Hawks still in this game.

[lunar]

looks like the team is getting ready to choke. how zaza gets the last shot of the game is beyond me.

i wish i knew. sheldon isn't even in the game. busted pick on all fronts to me.
