Hawks vs. Pistons GAME THREAD

[Atlantaholic]

It's Steve Jabey man... what can you expect.

Damnit I knew Billups was going to beat us, and he did it on a horrible call. As a ref, you CANNOT make a call on a foul that ticky-tacky at the end of the game. That call basically won the game for the Pistons.

[oiatlhawksfan]

whatever, Hawks played great and showed, they are a playoff team, going to Detriot, and basically having to lose, by a stupid call by the ref.

[BusBoyIsBack]

F**k that loss hurt!

This is 100% Mike Woodson's fault for keeping in scrubs vs Pistons starters until they took over the game.

That was so freaking dumb!

Then as usual he only calls the timeout after the damage is done

I try to defend him but we win IN SPITE of him

[atlhawks07]

What a garbage call. I thought David Stern got rid of these clowns. It was all ball and the ref just gave the Pistons the game.

Rough night for Horford offensively, although he scored the first points of the game.

Dude shut the hell up and just leave, noone cares about your sad life. Do you just hate for attention? Yeah, we must suck after losing by 1 point to a top team in the league on the road.

If Chauncy scores he wouldn't have blown the whistle... he blew it late, and didn't even get a good look at the play. What a d*ck.

and bascially the refs giving them the game.

[Johnnybravo4]

Its all good. If we went 5-5 in this first ten id be happy. This is a marathon not a sprint. Remember we are still playing without speedy and Zaza.

[TexasPete]

I wish Hotlanta would leave this board for good because he's bad karma. He's the most miserable "fan" I've ever come across.

Please find another team.

Bad teams find ways to lose games. You think losing to Detroit

by 1 point proves something? We all know their objective is to stay close until the 4th period rolls around.

The bottomline is the Hawks are the Clippers of the east. Even JJ knows the Hawks ain't going to win anything with what they have.

Stop blaming the refs. If the team wasn't making turnover after turnover it wouldn't have even came down to that. If you want to blame somebody blame Josh Smith.

If you actually watched the game, they were allowing ALOT of contact--until the final 1.9 seconds that is.

You can't blame Smoove for the loss. He more than made up for every bonehead play with his hustle, boards, intensity and will on defense. This kid is 21 with a heart 10x the size of his brain.

I wish Woodrow had the stones to burn a timeout earlier into the Piston's run. Our offense was completely out of sync and Woodsoff let 'em play through it to the tune of a 1-point loss.

[Plainview1981]

Until the Hawks get more players that can create their own shot they will struggle late in games against halfcourt teams. Josh Smith should be blamed. There is no way he can really believe he is a good 3pt shooter or ball handler.. but he continues to try and make plays that he doesn't have the talent to make.

At the very least he should be coming off the bench for a few games.

The fact that Smoove is still unnecesarily launching 3's is Woodsoff's issue, not Smoove's. Coach needs to call the shots--literally.

I wouldn't mind if Woodrow pulled Smoove from the game for a minute, but I don't think he should lose his starting job. Keep in mind at least three times Smoove got the ball on the perimeter with 5 seconds or less left on the shot clock. Poor floor leadership is not Josh's fault.

Dude, every great team has lost plenty of 1 point games. Much more than bad teams actually.

You need to find activities that calms you down and makes you happy. I suggest Yoga and Meditation.
