Official Game Thread: Hawks - Nets

[lethalweapon3]

Sorry gang, I got Brackets on the Brain with all the college hoops action, so no fancy-schmancy thread opener today. Feel free to add your own thoughts/notes, and see y'all in the chat room!

Go Hawks!

Anyone know if other Hawks besides Zaza are sitting out tonight?

[benhillboy]

ESPN has Teague and Josh day to day, I think I saw somewhere that Teague wasnt starting but will play. Even in limited minutes he needs to look like himself and take some pressure off Devin. The two meetings in January Teague averaged 25 and 10.The Nets can't run with us. We keep em off the offensive glass and the free throw line, Kyle makes 'em take a timeout, we win by 6.

Hawks get the W in double OT. 113-110. Joe's goes off for 28 quiet points - hits shot to go into double OT.

It'll be fun to see Petro play big minutes against Lopez (with Zaza out of commission) and his old team. He won't start, but LD is suggesting he'll face up against B-Lo quite a bit. He's shot 7 for 10 in two outings against the Nets and averaged 5.5 rebounds in under 14 minutes per game. ExNets Harris and Stevenson will draw Deron and Joe.

Also pertaining to the standings, C-Viv notes that after tonight's game at Barclays the Nets (2.0 games ahead of the Hawks) will embark on an eight-game road trip, spread out over 2 1/2 weeks.

Damn. Dem shoes are bright!

[Dnice]

Nice game too bad I'm biased.

Game is grinding, but the Hawks are still in control. Teague's shot is useless tonight, so he should concentrate on being a playmaker at all costs.

Just contain #2 in the 4th quarter.

LOL @ the last minute of that quarter.

LMAO @ AL

Better to be lucky than good sometimes.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Great block by Ivan, even if they did call a foul on him.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Dahntay having a great game. Nets are playing lazy defense tonight. Game has all of a sudden broke in our favor, with us up by 11. Close this team out boys.

[Ruckus]

The Nets are screwed for years to come. So glad I'm not a Nets fan.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Big time quarter for the Hawks. Turning it completely on and taking the heart out of that team. Great job guys.

105-93 final...my prediction was 103-91...12 point spread and almost nailed the final score...wish I woulda bet my net worth on it..lol

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Wow . . . Teague ended up with 15 assists tonight, and found his shot in that 4th quarter.

That game never felt like the Hawks was going to lose it, but they needed to create some space between they and the Nets. Once that happened, the Nets folded up and died.

Pretty damn good dude . . even though you had the game going into double OT to get that score. The Hawks really turned it on in that 4th quarter. Wished they played like that all the time.

[BackForThe2ndTime]

Good game Hawks
