BHayley Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 We will likely lose to Detroit Tuesday, and Wednesday we have to play Charlotte, who wants to beat us after a few close games we played them earlier in the year. I don't care that Yao is 7"5. We need Horford and Smoove to smother him every time he gets the ball and hope T-Mac still has the flu. Woodson needs to let Law and Mario and Lorenzen play tonight if we are going to win. Of course, we know that Marvin, Smoove, JJ, and Horford, will all play 37+ minutes. I expect northcyde to reply, saying something like "LOL. Ish, we don't have to worry about beating teams that are better than us. We don't NEED to win games, but winning is nice."

WraithSentinel Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I thought the Hawks would win last night. Seeing as how they didn't bother to take the Cavs seriously and the Cavs proceeded to win the game. Hawks need to find a way to win this game.

LOL . . ish, we don't have to worry about . . . You partially read my mind Mr. Hayley. If we try to smother Yao, their shooters are going to light us up from 3-point range. Make Yao score 30 to beat us, and not double him every time. The one advantage we may have in this game, is the speed of Horford and Smoove. Actually, look for Smoove to go off tonight, seeing how lifeless he was for 3 quarters last night. But as JackB likes to point out, whenever Smoove has a big game, we tend to lose. But as always, a loss tonight doesn't damage us at all. If we lose vs Houston and Detroit, we need to beat Charlotte. If we do that, we'd won 4 of our last 7 games. Personally, I'd love to beat Detroit just one time this season. I'd trade a loss tonigt, for a win vs Detroit next week. Note: Marvin usually shoots well off of a back to back, while JJ struggles mightily. See if that trend holds true tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimp Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Were a bad road team, and the Rockets have blown us out in houston 3 or 4 years in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oiatlhawksfan Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 YEp, it seems like a blowout in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusBoyIsBack Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Horford vs Yao was a nightmare waiting to happen. Put Josh Smith at the 5 again Woody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 At least we're off to a good start. Woody needs to send everyone but Horford to a Rebounding summer camp. Teach these guys how to properly box out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Atlantaholic Posted February 10, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 It's tough when there's four forwards and a PG in the game.. Not the best rebounding line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lascar78 Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 JJ looks like he's minutes away from demanding a trade. This is so bad. No PG. No C. No offensive system. No consistency on defense. A clown of a coach. A GM who promised him help an flat out failed to deliver. I can't blame him. Even when we win we frequently look like the inferior team, a bunch of guys going 1-on-1 as opposed to playing like a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plainview1981 Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Going by the scoreboard it looks like the hawks disagree on the importance of this game. It looks like JJ is stinking it up as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lascar78 Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 That's what I was talking about a few weeks ago about Woody losing the team. I just feel bad for JJ. He is so good and wants to win so bad. But he is stuck with insufficient help and a total Bozo of a coach, and the most inept ownership in sports. If I were him I would be disillusioned and going through the motions too. He's not to blame. I feel like I'm seconds away from becoming TheArtist part II.
