Quote: We should've re-signed him earlier in the season for 50ish million. Oh well, the "cat's" out of the bag now. But we've got to lock this guy up. He's "our" guy. We developed him, we deserve to see him flourish. Yep, the only question now is what position will he play next season (and thus Horford too)...

Quote: The funny thing is that as great as he played he was 0-6 from 3. Pleasepleaseplease stop shooting 3s. Someone said he only missed two shots that WERENT 3 pts. That is a huige reason why we won the 4th quarter (and ultimately the game). He wasnt in rhythm on half those 3s and the shot clock wasnt down to less than 5 or 6 in most of them. Take that away, and he was damn near perfect tonight. But yeah, he certainly raised his value with these last two games...

Quote: Quote: Whoever created this thread should change the subject or put a question mark on the end until it's confirmed... it hasn't happened yet so the title is incorrect. I don't think they'll suspend just one player because they both were barely out of the bench area and if they use "intent" neither player should be suspended b/c clearly both intended to stay on the sidelines. How fitting that the boneheaded Marvin would get himself suspended in such a way... That's the thing. Perkins actually moved onto the court and was a good few steps onto the court with a coach next to him holding him back. Marvin just stood up off to bench to see what happened and part of one foot was on the court. I do not see how the two are comparable. Duke, I think that argument is pointless. The precedent has already been set and intention wasn't taken into account then. We all know Marv wouldnt do anything (although if it was Smoove or Zaza...). but that didnt matter in the Amare brawl incident.

Quote: Um. Amare last year. Barely came on the court and got suspended for the pivotal Game 5 or 6 whatever it was. It really impacted the way the series played out. The precedent has been set. Exactly! Stern did NOT take intention into account for that incident. And since it was the most recent, I'm sure Stern will likely look to it as a precedent.

Man, looks like the Suns just cant get over the hump no matter what they do. Boy, looks like all of the blockbuster trades mid-season (Kidd, Shaq, Bibby) all ended up backfiring except for Bibby.

As I just stated in another similar thread, I expect both of them to be suspended without second though by Stern. It will hurt the Celtics a HELL OF A LOT more than us missing Marvin. Chill will start in his place and Salim (and Acie to a lesser extent) will come in as the primary sub in his place.

Watching the game (and the subsequent replays), Perkins clearly stepped on the court. Marvin did as well. By rule, they should both be suspended one game. Obviously, this has happened before in the playoffs (with the infamous brawl), and Stern did not deviate from the rule. He interpreted it strictly and did not consider the players' intentions. That said, both will likely be suspended for game 5. We shall see.

I'd agree with that hypothesis so far. He's definitely coaching a hell of a lot better.

Quote: Woody: I dont know where Cassel's balls are Hosey! Joe: I do. Our team just STEPPED all over them tonight! See? I'm running over them now biatch! Posey: Damn HATERZ!

Wish I could go That game should easily sell out now!

We will SHOCK THE WORLD and win the series. It's amazing how much better coaching + JJ and Bibby scoring + Running + ATL Crowd @ Phillips transforms the Hawks into a world-beater. These cats are truly amazing so far at home. We have won two straight now. If we can bring that intensity to Boston and do the things that worked well against them, and win, we will probably win it when it comes back to the ATL. Bank it.

Quote: Woodson just earned himself a new 3yr contract. BK better hope this also keeps him too cause he put this team together. Go Hawks. I wouldnt go THAT far. But I will say this, if only Woodson coached like this all regular season... Its like someone kidnapped the real Woodson and replaced him with a good coaching double.

I dont think the "haters" you speak of "hated on" JJ...what I mainly heard this say was that he was inconsistent and tended to disappear against better teams and pressure--which was all true in the regular season. He has played extremely well past two games this series.

He played like a TRUE #1 option and superstar tonight. Dude was a straight BEAST in the 4th quarter. Stars show up in the 4th quarter, not fade...and JJ not only showed up, he showed out!

All I can say... WE BE SHOCKING THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! What a game...what a game. Im speechless too!

That FT by Smoove clinched it. WEZE BE SHOCKINGZ TEH WERLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quote: Horf pissed at that TO. Yeah, no kidding. Probably not a good time to take the TO there.

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE REBOUND by SMOOVE!

Smoove had it right in the ajc... WE SHOCKING THE WORLD BABY!!!!!!!!

If its not 15, its something like that. Him and Smith have scored like the last 25 or so Hawks points.

Zaza punked the hell out of KG. KG was smart not to do anything though.

What A GAME!!!! These are NOT the same Hawks from the regular season. They look like a TOTALLY DIFFERENT team. And when did we replace Woodson with a coach who can coach a bit?

Chills is 8th? Wow damn, that's hella damn higher than I expected him to be rated. He doesnt start, and doesnt put up gaudy numbers. He's just a do-it-all type player (offensively) that doesnt need plays run for him. Interesting...

Woodson did change things up last game, kudos to him. But the minute Bibby starts stimking it up, Woody HAS to get Acie in there. Simple as that. The Celtics are gonna play with double the intensity tonight. Those cats have to be incensed by our win. They will bring everything they have...the Hawks better not back down or get too confident if they grow a lead. And yeah, that Pistons game was a perfect example of what NOT to allow happen.

Quote: Agreed. There is only one reason she is an NBA ref and it's not because she's good or tied to the mafia. I'm sure she is good at something...if you know what I mean... I kid, I kid. But yeah, WAY too many touch fouls in all 3 games. They need to let that stuff go and let the action continue. They arent calling as many touch fouls in the other series I have noticed.
