Game 15: New Orleans Vs. Atlanta Game Thread

[BeeSwatter]

Started to give up the ball?? I wouldn't say that after one game he has just decided to give up the ball.

MY WHOLE LIFE I THOUGHT PG AND CENTER WERE THE MOST IMPORTANT POSITIONS IN BASKETBALL. THANK YOU BILLY KNIGHT FOR NOT DRAFTING ONE OF THOSE POSITIONS SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN HERE

he shot 5-9 9reb 2ast 2blks

Smith? He also had 5 turnovers and he couldnt box out West to save his life.

---

oh so it isn't Joe shooting 5-20 and trying to stuff his stats in the end, it's all Josh?

[shocker_90]

ACIE a true PG? More in the mold of Jason Terry(IMO) and we all know Jason Terry at PG worked out so well for us

[exodus]

This was probably JJ's worst game of the year. He forced a lot of shots in traffic. He just tried to do too much.

Acie better be ready by monday. It is getting really frustrating watching our stupidity on offense.

The pressure im talking about is JJ having to create almost all of his shots by himself while taking on dbl teams. Tonight he was just off, even missing open shots.

---

Here is an idea...Pass the d_mn ball!!

.

nothing personal of course

BK hasn't solidified the C position. See the problems we've had 2 of the past 3 games in the rebounding department.

---

Are you kidding me???? Those offesive rebounds were on Josh Smith not boxing West out!! Horford had 15 rebounds tonight!!What else could the man have done??? This board is weird as hell. Posters protect their favorite players at all cost even if it means lying about what they see!

I could live with that. Bottom line though tonight - they have a better PG and a better center and West and role players. They are just currently a better team.

Look my friend I like just about all Hawks fans. We're in the same boat. However when Al is our PF we'll all be a little happier.

I hope you enjoy the game threads.

Acie's more like Billups. Acie is the PG of the future... too bad that bastard Hollins jump on him.

This team just looks lost out there at times. No direction.

No gameplan. Every night this team has to overcome horrible coaching and weird lineup decisions to try and pull out a win. Your coach shouldn't be a hinderance. Is there anyone here who ever feels like we outcoached the other team??? ever??? We lost tonite because of way too many turnovers....mental mistakes and lack of fundamental basketball execution. Joe Johnson was off tonite, but coach didn't turn the gameplan over to someone else. He just let Joe continue to take shots. Woodson doesn't key in on what works and doesn't stop doing what fails. Zaza throws up multiple airballs and passes the ball to the coach, so what does he do? Leave him in there.

Look....we need to make the most out of the talent we do have out there. Not try and win despite of our horrible coach. It's frustrating listening to the TV announcers constantly questioning what he's doing. Tonite's game was exactly what the announcers said it was...."a wasted opportunity". How many more of these do we have to endure?

The most frustrating to me is when the team finds something that works like Marvin against Peja or Childress against Bobby Jackson, they always revert back to give to Joe and let him shoot another fall away jumper under pressure.

We have a winner ladies and gentlemen!

The cast surrounding Joe isn't "that bad."

12 million a year. That's what it takes to get into the "big boy" coaching ranks.

JJ seems totally uninspired. I think Law can add some fire to the play. He's one to bring that. It doesn't matter what happens on the floor . . . Woody is not the coach to take this team to the next level. Not good enough to make the playoffs and not bad enough to get fired. That's Woody's lot. Fire his ass already.

Do you think Kobe has to be inspired to play by another teammate? What about Iverson? Heck even Micheal Redd doesn't have to be inspired to play! Why does Joe Johnson???

Please stop making excuses for this man!!
