28 for a few more days. Lived in ATL area for all but about 5 of those years. Live in DC area now. Diehard ATL fan, but the Hawks have been the last of the big three (Braves/Falcons/Hawks) that I got into.Been a casual watcher for a while, but have been a constant fan for many years now. I'm hoping this is the year we go all the way!

I can't believe we lost this game. Damn! Makes me feel dirty. Interesting unrelated note, Pachula has 21 rebounds tonight...only three (3!) are defensive.

Antić and Schröder are killing it!

This is the game where Pero woke up today and decided to say "Eff You" to his detractors by having the game of his life. As one of those detractors, I am glad he has turned into an assassin today. Just please, please play half this well on a normal basis.

Why did THIS ATL/GS matchup have to be the one shown on national tv? Ugh...

Ugh, GS is a badass team. But we aren't exactly helping our cause out there tonight. Eh, onto the next.

Barring a 2nd half turnaround in which we learn to rebound, Horford knocks down some shots, and we shoot better than 40%, this will be a blowout by the end of the game. Back to my MBA homework...

Cousins is going to take his soul, that's exactly what's going to happen. Brand will likely be playing more minutes than he's used to. I'm glad we won...made it way too interesting in the 4th quarter. One other thing, Mack doesn't really run the offense well at PG. He plays iso too much and doesn't look to get his teammates involved as much as Teague and The German Blur do. I can see why Mack barely plays.

Did he get fouled on that play? Because if I did, and I just dunked on you after you fouled me upside the head, I'd do EXACTLY what Schröder did, too. If he wasn't fouled, yeah, he needs to knock it off...at least down a notch.

I wish there was a "Like Infinty Times" Button.

We gotta do better. C'mon Hawks, turn it up and start playing with a sense of urgency!

If we lose to the Suns and GSW wins with he bulk of their team inactive tonight (including both Splash Brothers), ugh... Time to rebound and destroy these guys in the second half.

I REALLY hope we let him go and find someone better. That shouldn't be TOO hard, right? Right?

Way too much whining over one game with 20 games still left. If I didn't know any better, it was as if we rested our starters with 5 games left tied for HC advantage. Geez!

That doesn't make any sense. We have Korver, Milsap, and JYD out. Why would barely losing to the Sixers, on the road, mean anything? If anything, some of us fans have almost gotten used to throwing any lineup out there with the notion that we will win. Other team has to play as well. Besides, with us DOMINATING playoff teams (best record in the NBA against them by far, GSW not even in the top 5), I would safely assume that the team isn't worried about any "momentum loss" against a team that might very well end up with the worst record in the league.

We woulda crushed these fools with another starter like Milsap playing. Oh well. Good experience and playing time for some of the subs.

Eh, it's a throwaway game, but I do hope they win. These Sixers announcers are hella annoying, though.

Awesome article, but the Mozgov double-speak was a bit curious. After reading, it is clear to me that the Cavs are just going to have to build a frickin wall!

HUGE win! Against the second hottest team in the league (we are first), we played a well-balanced game that showed just how much we can stomp on the hearts of media-anointed Finals contenders. And guess what, we just don't give a flip either. Oh, and Schröder...man, that dude is a damn beast.

The "King" [gag] had 9 turnovers. I wonder who was D'ing him up most of the game....

The following is a long but really, really good article on the situation. At first I was starting to feel sympathy for him, but it now seems that he won't do what is needed to get the help he surely needs. But he is right: The NBA needs to do a better job of providing services for those battling mental health issues. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/12354422/larry-sanders-battle-anxiety-depression

John Jenkins with 6 rebounds in 7 minutes?! WTF is the world coming to?

Whiteside is gonna drop Wilt Chamberlain type rebounding numbers on us if this keeps up.

And politics, can't forget that!

Melo ruined any chance the East had of winning. It was painful to watch. Ugh.
