The Best Thing About Game 1......

[JackB1]

......is that we won without relying heavily on the Joe/Bibby show. How many times have we won without either Joe or Bibby scoring at least 20? Not too often. We had great balance last night and shared the ball very well. Joe was great when called on, and he never got into too much one on one stuff.

Josh Smith's dunks were just mind blowing. The one that he put it backwards over his head was just insane...as was the one he reached up HIGH with one hand and slammed it down. Without Mike Bibby on the setup side, Smoove doesn't make those plays. Bibby is a master of the "Alley...." part of the Alley-Oop!

Horford played with a lot of enthusiasm and is starting to realize how he can fire up the crowd and the team.

Just an outstanding game by ALL our forwards last night. Even Flip had a slow night and it didn't even matter. We are a well rounded team fellas! Believe it!

Cant wait for Game 2. We have set the bar very high and Maimi has to be very discouraged this morning.

Because Josh Smith, with all due respect to the rest of the team, was on his game. Rotoworld was right when they said Josh Smith is one of the most elite players in the game when he puts more effort into it.
