HalfHawk Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) With Marvin out, how are the Hawks going to play? I don't think it's going to affect us that much, Woody hasn't played him much after he sits out in the first. What do you guys think? http://www.nba.com/2009/playoffs2009/04/25...t.ap/index.html Edited April 25, 2009 by atlanta5hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFAN4LF Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Its always tough to lose a starter but we just have to move on. We've won games without him so there shouldn't be a worry. We're 18-7 with Mo Evans starting, that's always a good stat. Hopefully we'll see Mario West get some playing time because of this. Also, I think this might help our players come out with more energy. I can just picture Al Horford grabbing the whole troop and telling them to focus even more since Marvin is out. :cheers: Also, here's a pic of Josh Smith's locker.

MaceCase Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 It hurts considering that Marvin had a very solid third quarter in game 2 both on defense and offense before being taken out for the rest of the game. I'm not sure how this is going to effect the already non-existent bench but it overall gives the Hawks one less defender they can throw at all the heat's tall lanky forwards (beasley, moon, jones, haslem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 This just proves how much of an IDIOT Woody is for taking Marvin out in the 3rd after he had that nice run of points. Woody you make me sick as clearly nothing was wrong with Marvin and I knew I shouldn't have trusted that you knew what you were doing by not putting him back in the game. IDIOT! [/sARCASM] This affects us in a big way as no matter how you feel about Marvin it takes away our only true SF on the roster and hurts our depth.

AtlMoveTheBallMore Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) 6 minutes in, the Hawks again are outmatched. No energy again, oh well at least the parties are good at South Beach. This series is unwinnable. 2-1 Heat. Soon to be 3-1.

This series is unwinnable. 2-1 Heat. Soon to be 3-1. I think that's a bit premature considering how awful the Hawks have been in the 1st quarter in many games this season only to come back and flat out dominate the 2nd quarter and win the game. Yes we look lethargic but it's far from over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hate to see us fight out of a hole like this. Part of this has to be coaching that they come out so flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 This could be a blow psychologically, but it means that Flip has to step up tonight. Will probably give Rio some minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFAN4LF Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I hate people like you man. If the Hawks were by up 20 points right now, you wouldn't be making a thread saying "Game Over". Anyway, offense is looking good now. It's certainly not out of our hands yet. We can still win this game. It seems like the jitters affected us at the start.

LOL good point ... looks like we have "Flip"ed the switch on the Heat and I like our chances (as long as Wade is on the bench). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can still win this game. It seems like the jitters affected us at the start. 11 point deficit with Zaza Pachulia (who has blown at least 5 wide open layups this series) at the line. You don't know me. I just started posting here. If the Hawks were up and we had 2 legit superstars and 1 in the making (Wade, O'Neal, Beasley), and a bevy of 3 point shooters, playing at home, I would be making the thread in the Hawks favor. I am a realist. Oh Zaza just missed both freebies. We have a starter out and we have no shot in this series. Woodson with a dumfounded look. Man I miss the days of Smith and Blaylock. They understood the game and were legit clutch players. Edited April 25, 2009 by AtlMoveTheBallMore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackB1 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Looks like Evil Josh is at it again! Taking 3 pointers...long jumpers and showing no interest in mixing it up inside. As soon as Woodson replaced him with Zaza, we came back. Now in the 2nd, with Josh back in, we are lagging behind again. Woodson has to recognize who's on and who's not and adjust his lineup.

bumpyphish1 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Unbelievable. The team isnt ready to play. That is on the coach. I could get way more specific but dont feel like taking the time or the effort. If we lose this series, the ASG/Sund don't have a choice do they????

DrReality Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Woody has to go. We've played eratically all year. Has to fall on the coach. Even if we win, CAN THE DUDE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlMoveTheBallMore Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Chuck and Kenny are almost on the floor laughing at the Hawks offensive scheme. They call it "Dribble, dribble, dribble.......MISS" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member AtLaS Posted April 25, 2009 Premium Member Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Kenny Smith exposing our offense to the national media. I'm glad this is happening since we've been bitching about it all season. ISO basketball, the classic, beautiful Mike Woodson offense. I really don't see the problem with Smith taking jumpers at this point since nobody else can do anything right and we can't get a good shot anyway.

T21 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I agree! The worst thing is that he does't make any adjustments! JJ needs to be the PG on the floor! Bibby, Flip, Mo, Marvin spot up... Al and Smoove roam the paint and lanes... Our D suffers because of frustrations on the offensive end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
