exodus Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Whew that was a big win but tough to watch. So many dumb mistakes. Smith and Horford combined for 24 roubounds and 6 blocks. I can't remember them doing that before. Props to Flip also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOL_Hawks Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Another great win. The Hawks are awesome at home. They've been coming up BIG for this homestand. These past 3 wins have been impressive as hell. I'm really enjoying watching them play. Let's hope they don't have a let down against the Pacers. (And on a sidenote...I can't believe I'm saying this, but Let's Go Celtics.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 LMAO, out of all the threads, Dolf chose this one......anybody else but me find that a tad bit funny. Am I missing something? Why is it so funny that I chose the thread asking about people going to the game to be the game thread? Did I miss the other dozen or so Hawks vs Jazz threads to choose from?

d2v16DKG Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 :beer: Great win over a very good Utah team and without Marvin! Mario, Flip, Josh, Al, and Joe all played outstanding! Best of all the team played great defense!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris18 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Good win but we shouldn't have given that big lead up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Man I wanted to kill these guys tonight in the 3rd quarter with their lazy defense and then in the 4th with the missed FT's but our defense picked up and we got the game back under control and won it. I honestly didn't think that we'd win tonight but I'm proud of the guys for pulling it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted March 12, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I love ending winning streaks. Especially this 12 game win streak for utah I just love Horford's energy and attitude. Man did we luck out that we didn't get Oden. JJ had a great game and I love that he seems to have his mojo back. Great game from Smith as well as Flip. Good start to this home stand so far. We have already tied last years record! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brotha2ThaNite Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) I must admit when my lady got me a Joe Johnson's Jersey this year for V-Day I was like, Dang, JJ has been bad all year! why could she not have gotten me Big Al's jersey?...... HELL NO! I didn't say that to her. I like eating good :slap1: LOL (I was thinking it). I am really happy to see JJ steping his game up! :friends1: Edited March 12, 2009 by Brotha2ThaNite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry0569 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 When Utah began the 3rd quarter on that mini run, I said to my dad "here we go again." The Hawks stepped up in the nth degree, and put away a fantastic Utah team. Great win HAWKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Money Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I still wish we could be consistent for 48 minutes, but whatever, it's a W over a team on a 12-game streak. Speaking of which...we can't seem to get any help when we get on our streaks. Back when we went on our run during the December homestand, we made up no ground in the standings because Orlando was on their big streak. Now that we're home again and starting to pick up steam, Wade refuses to let Miami go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhillboy Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) FLIPPER!!!! Now that's a man of respect and I salute him. Mario playing hellish defense for signifigant minutes shouldn't surprise anybody. 20 rebounds between Josh and Al doesn't impress me, as it should be commonplace. As long as Joe drives the hole and shoots 48%+, I can't knock him at all and am confident the rest of his game will neatly fall into place. Great win for the home squiddy. With each passing game and our overall record without Marvin the past couple of years, I'm forced to ask "Marvin who?"

I honestly didn't think that we'd win tonight but I'm proud of the guys for pulling it out. This game is why we need to hold down the 4th spot so badly. I feel that homecourt advantage in the first round guarantees that we will move on to the second round. This team surprises the heck out of me when they play at home. We can beat ANY team in the league at home. EDIT*** 1000 posts baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it wouldn't have even been close with Marvin in the game tonight. His defense and size at the forward spot would've helped, I think. Kudos to Flip for stepping up in his absence.

Gray Mule Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 They, whoever "they" are, said, 37 win season for Atlanta sounded about right. Well, Hawks now have that 37! Do we have any games left? I believe so. And, I suppose we might just win a few more before this thing is over. Yeah, I missed the 1st half (Church night) and then listened to the third quarter, which was horrid. (Blacked out, now 19 of 21) Great 4th quarter!! Still don't have final word on MW. Maybe tomorrow. Great game against a hot team!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff_Man Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 They went over the Vegas total! We're looking pretty good. Hell, even Mario has it rolling. Gotta love what we see! Keep rolling at home baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hawkman Posted March 12, 2009 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 :angel19: Mario is unbelievable- non-stop energy and great on defense! Now can we get him to make foul shots? Josh makes some outstanding plays, then he makes me yell at my tv set (dribbles too much and loses ball, taking jump shots). I guess it's Josh being Josh. Overall Hawks look great! I'm a GT basketball fan, so I can tell you that you can expect energy from this guy 100% of the time he's out there. Hewitt did an awesome job bringing in guys like Jack, West, Muhammad, and Bynum. All of those players have a tenacity and toughness that cannot be taught. I'm glad that Woodson recognizes and rewards those qualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WraithSentinel Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Mario came up big for us. Bibby wasn't doing anything tonight. I give Mario props for helping the team out big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankWhite Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 That putback dunk was sick. If dude could just develop some kind of outside shot, he'd be a keeper for some team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
