We get no respect.

First from TNT. Then from the guys at ESPN talking about Lebron's final matchup?

Now, in game, Diesel brings you Heat fans...

Hawks fans moan at every obvious foul call against them...

However, amoungst the 41 pages of Heat love, Hawks hate, there's one quote that makes BK smile!!!

This is absolutely painful, they're just too fast and athletic. Wade needs to attempt to take over this game on his own, start getting more aggressive and pick up some fouls, and just live and die by his shooting. If he gets hot we will have a chance, the rest of the team isn't going to help him today and I don't see many of them turning their game around today. They look nervous.

one more...

Riley needs to come out of the stands and take over RIGHT F'IN NOW!!!

Ok last one...

What's most disappointing about this first half isn't getting out-played -- someone has to win the game, so obviously one team is going out-play the other -- it's how clueless we look. We're stumbling and fumbling around like the Washington Generals. We can't do anything right. Even something as simple and rudimentary as getting the basketball from one end of the court to the other is a challenge. With the way we're playing, I expect us to somehow get a free throw blocked.

It's obvious that Atlanta's run has us shell-shocked, but we've looked shell-shocked since tip-off.

Gentlemen... and Ladies...

It's good to be a Hawks fan today. Let's keep up the good work!

You're right. We get no respect. It's been noted already under another thread. TNT spent more time bashing what we don't have (and Josh's poor shooting) that no props were given to our smothering defense. That said, if we want props and respect, lets keep winning. It's that simple. We win, you have to talk about us. To paraphrase Ric Flair, whether they like us or don't, they'll have to learn to love us if we win. Last night was a great starting point.

I'd rather us be seen as the underdogs... it makes the game more exciting to watch for me, lol.

LOL that was a good line.
