Game Thread: Washington Wizards @ Atlanta Hawks

[BossTweed]

The Hawks have definitely been getting the benefit of the doubt on these calls lately.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

wow . . another foul on the Wiz. Please hit your FT's down the stretch of this game.

Good job Smoove . . 5 point game now.

[BossTweed]

Joe needs to stop fading away EVERY shot he takes

[oiatlhawksfan]

What are we gonna do with Joe???

[bumpyphish1]

Joe Johnson blows. Superstar? I think not.

we shouldn't have to keep coming back like this. if we just attack the whole game then we wouldn't have to worry about this. why do we keep trying to be a jumpshooting team when we have one of the most athletic teams in the game! we WTF!

He can make the fadeaway, but it's obviously not falling lately, so I agree. When his momentum takes him toward the basket, he makes a lot more shots.

[Nicholasp27]

is chill the only one on the team that knows we need to run?

lue/jj def don't

and marvin is proving to be our most consistent this year?

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Good Lord. All of those fine women in D.C. I need to make a trip there soon.

[BossTweed]

I hate the number of loose balls the opposing teams are getting against the Hawks late in games.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Wow . . another offensive rebound, and put back.

It might be a long day for me. Hawks looks like they'll lose, and the Bengals playing like a high school team these days.

this one isn't woodson's fault. from halftime on he's told this team to attack, attack, attack. it's not him fault josh and joe are jacking up 25 ft three's when their main rebounder is either out of the game or with 5 fouls. you stick to the gameplan and you'll win the game. these guys don't do that.

when the spurs, pistons, and celtics have a gameplan they stick to it. when the bobcats, blazers, and hawks have a gameplan. the stick to it for five possessions and then go into rucker league mode and start chucking.

He doesn't blow. Lebron does the same thing. I just think Joe has gotten a little lazy making space for his shot. Instead of getting open and taking a good straight up jumper, he stays in the spot he's at and fades away because he has done it well in the past. It's just a bad habit he needs to work on.

[SmooveTheFuture]

When you cant play defense and cant rebound for nothing you will not win many games at all. This is a pathetic defensive performance. Joe Johnson looks down right awful and Josh Childress why is even in the game we need another big guy in there to rebound the ball. Woodson didnt play Shelden Williams not 1 minute... Just a bad bad loss.

I agree. JJ and Smoove have to take the brunt of the blame for this one. Even Lue didn't "kill" us today.
