[ATLNY7]

Good to see the hawks come out on top.

Haha . . I was thinking the same thing at that exact moment. That would be too funny. But even over the TV broadcast, you could hear some dude just going off. I think it happened on the JJ phantom foul when he bodied up on Melo. The fans immeadiately started booing, and you could hear a guy going off on the ref. Haha . . then the ref calls for the police.

As for the game, it's amazing the energy Josh Smith plays at home, compared to how he plays on the road. I think that was the best I've ever seen him play. The effort and energy were all there last night. The most impressive play in my mind, was when he faced up Balkman, drove past him, and DUNKED the ball even though he'd only beat him by a little.

THAT'S A SHAWN KEMP-LIKE PLAY. That's the aggressivemess I wish he'd show all the time when going to the hole. I thought I'd never see the day where Smoove would play like that. Hopefully this is the beginning of a new, powerful Josh Smith. If he keeps this up, he's going to shoot well over 50% for the year.

Great energy by Marvin as well. He knocked down open shots and was aggressive in going to the basket. JJ was JJ when we needed him to be. Crawford was great again. Horford battled his way to another double double. Bench played well in the 1st half. And the defense was so much improved last night.

Tyrone Hill said at halftime that coach just keeps telling these guys to drive the basketball more. I knew it had to be a reason why Crawford was trying to drive more, rather than settling for the long to midrange jumper 90% of the time.

Just a good all-around win by this team.

5 - 2 start to start the season. I'll definitely take that. If we can get to the end of November with an 11 - 6 record, I'll take that all day.

I was at the game and was wondering what the heck was going on at that point. I had no idea a fan was going beserk!

Yeah, nothing against Teague but I wanted Lawson all along. A more traditional pg who is just as quick.

Yeah I only said this because with our small front court we need somebody big or athletic at the point guard position. If not we'll just be the suns from a couple years ago which will be exciting but won't grant a championship (defense wins championships).

I was also lost at that moment, I thought someone had thrown something on the floor or something.
