Wow. Marvin with 16 points on 6 FGA.

What will people talk about tomorrow?

---

Marvin with 14 ft attempts. Walter+Diesel are crying.

[mrhonline]

Marvin needs the ball in his hands if teams try to go small. He's a great FT shooter.

[Lascar78]

Ok so all of last year there were a million games where we didn't execute down the stretch and couldn't find a way to close out games. When do you suggest they improve in that area if not now? This is a great chance to try to run plays for these situations.

And Law gives us the lead

Exactly. Our "CBA" should be in too. Get Marvin out of there. Let Law take the last shot, since he hasn't been looking for his shot much.

LOL . . . like I said.

[unknownjdb]

Yeah Acie. Making up for the TO with a steal and a driving basket. Primetime player.

[BossTweed]

I heard somewhere that Acie Law IV was clutch?

[Lascar78]

Not to mention we only have 1 starter out there. Law and Horford getting great experience.

I maintain what I said before, I think Marvin & Horford will work great together as an inside out game.

[mrhonline]

And that my friends...

...is what a PG looks like.

We haven't seen that in a long time!

[ATLBob]

Nice. Definently some positives tonight.

[unknownjdb]

Good game. Though Smith is my man, I'd give the game ball to Marvin. Lineup to start the season (after listening to this game):

Law

Johnson

M.Williams

Smith

Horford

[HawksFan87]

Smoove was the best player out there tonight. Although Marvin was fantastic as well.

[mrhonline]

Hawks' bench slaughtered the Magic bench.

[aznsensation]

Yes great win tonight.

Actually, I take that back. I'd start Speedy but Acie will definitely finish the games.

Yes. We'll bulldoze most of the NBA benches all season.

[capstone21]

Solo only getting 4 minutes in a preseason game.

Both he and Sheldon should have gotten a lot more while Chil and Smith should have played less.

These guys need some court time and preseason is the time to do it when winning is not important.

[thesheedera]

Nice to see them close a close one out instead of giving it away.

Teams have to "learn" how to win, so even though the W doesn't matter in the standings, it can't hurt with our young players and their development.

Only listened to part of the 1st, 3rd and last half of the 4th. Was Marvin getting to the line driving?

Probably 10 of his FT's were from driving the lane. He got fouled a lot towards the end on loose ball or other fouls to try and stop the clock.
