Quote: It's been a long time since I wore hi-top shoes, but I remember rolling my ankle just as easily in them as my low-tops. Maybe I just had bad ankles, though. That's interesting... He is literally the first NBA player I have ever noticed wearing low tops...Maybe I just don't look enough.

Tonight was the first night I ever realized it...Doesn't that give him a whole lot less ankle support...?

GREAT GAME HAWKS!!!

Gonna be LOUD!!

Not 100% sure, but I could have sworn they mentioned towels AND t-shirts for tonight.

We got fouled SO many times and didn't have it called...They have to foul us because we are so much more athletic than them. We better get those calls at home.

They are going to be double teaming JJ, and JSmoove is WAY too inconsistent to play as well on the road as he has at home these past two games. We are going to have to get a huge game out of the most battle tested player on our team in Bibby. He is going to have to be our leading scorer for us to win the game in my opinion.

Some could chock up our victory in game three to somewhat of "luck" because we shot over 50% on our 3 pointers...I think it is VERY encouraging that we won tonight without good 3 point shooting. Ended up just over 20%. Hell, the Celtics were 12-23 and we still clearly played better...That is great news for this team. We really can play with the Celtics, guys! I'm saying that as much to myself as I am to everyone else here...It is so surprising after games 1 and 2.

I love it how not only we are winning now (obviously), but man we stepped up to the plate and let these guys know they CANNOT push us around. If they want to beat us, they are going to have to be physical...More physical than us, and we are NOT backing down.

GO HAWKS GO HAWKS GO HAWKS!!!!

I am TIRED today, but it was worth it to see it on TV after being there. I hope we have as good of a crowd on Monday...Winning 2 games against this team would be a GREAT accomplishment.

Quote: I'm to the point where I absolutely loathe everything about every team that is in the northeast corner of this country.

Crowd was AWESOME, the team played great...I love it that these two teams really, REALLY do not like eachother. WAY TO BACK UP THE TALK BOYS!!!! GO HAWKS!

Got me pumped up, man!

I need to get onto trying to get tickets.

Let's give the Celtics all they can handle!

Walter, you are ridiculous. Be happy for once in your life.

Quote: I'd like to see a lineup of Law, Childress, Richardson, Marvin, Zaza with Salim, West, and Jones for the final 2-3 games of the season... Absolutely...Unless #7 is truly in reach when we only have 2-3 games left, JJ and Bibby should barely see the floor.

One step closer to the playoffs!

Quote: Quote: Dang do his players play hard for him every night. That is the one advantage we have over just about any team in the league...Our players ALWAYS play hard for their coach. I hope you're joking, too Nope I am absolutely serious. Just look how hard our guys play compared to watching other teams...Sometimes the NBA can just be painful because the players are so lazy.

Dang do his players play hard for him every night. That is the one advantage we have over just about any team in the league...Our players ALWAYS play hard for their coach.

That is hilarious!

Anyone else been surprised at how quick he looks compared to other NBA players?? I was expecting him to be in the kinda "lower tier" of athleticism for NBA PG's, but he can get just about anywhere on the court he wants pretty easily.

Atlanta Hawks send: PG Speedy Claxton SG Salim Stoudamire 2009 1st rounder** To the Indiana Pacers for: F/C Jeff Foster SG Kareem Rush --------------------------------- ** I'm not sure if we can trade this pick or not because of the rule about trading 1st round picks in successive years, but if we can't, then assume the 2010 1st rounder...And if we can't do that for some reason, then I guess this trade won't work... Foster gives us some beef down low, and Rush gives us a VERY good 3 pt. shooter off the bench. We don't even really need the future 1st with how our team is looking and I think this would make us a SERIOUS contender in the East...Here's how we'd look. Bibby/Law/West JJ/Rush/Richardson Marvin/Chillz/Richardson Smoove/Foster Horford/Zaza/Foster Not bad...
