that was prolly a shot at Ex.

I was the one complaining about Horford, and I'm one of his biggest supporters. He was playing very poorly there for a while, and I'm glad he stepped it up to end the half. I know he's better than he had played up to the end of the second quarter.

FYI, Marvin was covering Morrison while Ammo was scoring.

He's gonna have to do better than that, but Morrison can shoot, that's for sure.

Haven't seen much uptempo from the Hawks except this last stretch with the dunks by Horford.

---

Perhaps this IS up-tempo for Woodson.

Where is Solomon Jones?????

No, it was a sincere question, but after re-reading a couple of other threads, it probably should've been a shot at Ex.

Horford has clearly outplayed Shelden. Is there anyone who thinks Horford hasn't jumped Shelden on the depth chart?. Even then, S. Williams might be the best young #4 big on an EC roster.

it's a nice problem to have.

WOW . . . we are getting absolutely DESTROYED on the boards. Yet, because of all the foul shots we're taking, we're right in this game.

13 offensive rebounds.

Let's be real Shelden hasn't set the bar very high.

- 12 on the boards ( CHA: 30 . . ATL: 18 )

+ 10 at the FT line ( CHA: 15 FTM . . ATL: 25 FTM

that's incredibe for this team

)

Great job by Horford to close the half.

We got like 110 foul shots in the last 2.5 games. At that rate we'll foul out some starting lineups this year. Ultra quick lineup is scaring people

Horford's outplayed Shelden, but that's not saying much. Up until the final two minutes of the first half of this game, Al had played pretty poorly. Again, I'm a huge Horford fan, but he needs to bring that aggressiveness all the time, and not be so passive.

[HawksFan87]

Za-Za has got to get more than 1 rebound in the 2nd half.

When you remember that he's playing in just his third professional game (and an exhibition at that), I don't think we've anything to wrorry about. There will be long stretches this season where he looks like the rookie that he is. We all need to be prepared for that.

Josh to Marvin. Damn why is Marvin so clumsy when going to the basket....offensive foul.

[HawksFan87]

Sounded like a bad call on Smoove.

LOL . . maybe the defender just made a good play and stepped in front of him. Did the announcer say that he tripped and fell into the defender?

[oiatlhawksfan]

hope he doesn't make that a habit.

[oiatlhawksfan]

Okafor is no Howard LOL.

[BossTweed]

Hawks are playing with a ton more energy this half. Definitely pushing the ball more too. Zaza is even getting rebounds.

[prolific25]

Calm down I just....it's just a fact that Marvin is a poor inside finisher.
