Admin capstone21 Posted March 20, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Flip got us back in the game when we were struggling. Refs were bad tonight Strong performance from Al and Joe too Frustrating to see Smith back to old form taking bad shots and making stupid decisions. Hopefully, this is only a one game lapse. We officially have a winning record for the season! We will soon clinch a playoff spot and hopefully home court. We are 4 games up on Miami now.

TheTruth Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Great win. If Smoove would ever learn to give the ball up on a fast break, it would probably cut his turnovers in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted March 20, 2009 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I don't know if I'd call it a "great" win, but a win is a win is a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOL_Hawks Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I call it a great win only because it's win #7 in a row. I believe that this is the longest win streak we've had since 1999. (We've had a lot of those "Best/First ______ since 1999." moments this year.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted March 20, 2009 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 The refs were horrible tonight. Smoove did hold the ball too long too many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJlaysitup Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Great win. If Smoove would ever learn to give the ball up on a fast break, it would probably cut his turnovers in half. If he ever had a PG fast enough to catch up with him :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hawkman Posted March 20, 2009 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 If he ever had a PG fast enough to catch up with him :sad: I hate to harp on the negative after a nice win, but if Smoove would just give the ball to Bibby early and sprint up the court, Bibby would give it right back to him. Bibby passes it to the guy every time he runs the floor. The same thing applies to him passing it to ANY guard in the back court. All he has to do is give it up early and run the floor.

exodus Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 This game was probably the worst the Hawks have played during their recent streak but it still counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 6 of 11..he only took 11 shots and made more than half??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhay610 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) This game was probably the worst the Hawks have played during their recent streak but it still counts. Refs were horrible. What was with all the 3 second calls? Ugly, ugly win. Hawks only played well in the one qtr and neither team could score in the 4th but we'll take it of course. I wouldn't classify these runouts by Josh as "fast breaks" - it's usually him driving straight into 2 or 3 defenders. He only converts about 1 out of 4 of them [speculative guestimation; not actual data research]. Edited March 20, 2009 by jhay610 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted March 20, 2009 Moderators Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Sometimes I feel the refs have an agenda. Tonight they just seemed incompetent. Hawks were very lucky but still a win over a good team. Dallas has to be the softest team in the league. I know they were missing some folks but jeez. Carlisle getting ejected over the tiniest push was laughable. Dirk getting a tech when Mo just waves in his direction. And Dirk's 'defense'? well enough said. The main thing I took from this game is that when we actually play our bench we are a much better team. I wish they'd get some burn in the second half. How about Nique with the uncomfortable quote of the year : 'well Dallas really blew their wad' wwhat? Hey Nique some cliches aren't really meant for tv.

Hey Nique some cliches aren't really meant for tv. Quote was "Dallas has shot their wad" and I almost fell out of my chair. Getting off topic now, but speaking of former-player-turned-color-analysts making questionable analogies, Clyde the Glide came up with this gem earlier in the year. Sorry if this is a repost...

BallAllDay Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I went to the Dallas-Atl game today and it was really exiting. I can't believe the Hawks beat the Mavs!!! Woo! Loved it when they played Turn my swag on and Let it rock. These Hawks games are so energetic!!!!! Can't wait to see the Hawks in the playoffs!

DrReality Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 This is not a game that we would have won in the past. I wasn't pretty but we did win. And I guess the refs were equally bad both directions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOL_Hawks Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 lol im about to fall out of my chair now!! Did he really say that , is it on tape? He definitely said it. I was balancing the gradebook while listening to the call, and I definitely did a double take at the screen when he said that. We're gonna get a TV-PG rating for the next game. lmao.

Back to being the Joe of old. Poor shooting once again. Game ball goes to Flip. Had he not came in and gave a great performance this would have been a loss and a blowout.

He had one or two good shots, but he fired up alot of bricks tonight. Mo was also big. I was also frustrated that Mike got so many minutes tonight. He did nothing most of the game. For the Mavs... JT being so off really hurt them. Without Howard, they don't have the scorers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
