We SUCKED!! We have to play better next game, plain and simple. It was obvious that we were shook by the playoff vibe, especially in Boston..but I don't think we will be as shook come Game 2. Its not like we weren't expecting this, so lets calm down. JJ and Bibby are more pissed than me and you could EVER BE, so lets see how they respond.

Al Horford steps up...and I wouldn't be surprised if he questioned his teams effort. Its sad that that Al is the Hawks main man because he's a ROOKIE! JJ and Bibby played like they were drunk and scared. If this was a regular season game than it would of been competitive, but since it mattered, we choked...and choked hard. Sad game, but its just 1 game. Hopefully we get a better plan for game 2.

I can't really see where they'll find the time to talk about it with all the other games. When halftime comes around, they'll just talk about the earlier games or the upcoming games. If they actually talk about the Hawks, it will be Al Horford and his potential for getting ROTY. Maybe during the game they'll talk about it, but that conversation will end when PP drives to the hole for an uncontested lay-up with Marvin Williams just watching him go buy like a dumb ash.

I see it going all the way to the Miami game as well....and if it does, MAN will that be a big game.

Its better than going to the lottery where our pick goes to Phoenix. I look at it like this....This young Hawks team will be getting some playoff experience which is something they really need as a team. Will we lose the series?? Most likely yes. Will we win 1 or 2 games...who knows, maybe. All I know is that it wouldn't be a good thing for this team to miss the playoffs yet again and extend that playoff-less streak to 10 years.

Quote: Marvin Williams is the biggest P*ssy in sports. Joe Johnson 6-21 shooting? No wonder Paul and Ray have no respect for him. Why do you think Paul and Ray have no respect for Joe??

I guess no one has it..... That sucks.

I wouldn't be concerned with picking up a 3rd foul in the 3rd. You've used up half your fouls and you've played OVER half the game. I don't mind taking him out for a few minutes, but not the whole quarter.

I really don't see a big drop off, if any, from Zaza to Solomon. Zaza is horrible. I can't believe how much he's declined in the last 2 years.

Philly is a good team, and even if they beat us, I'm confident that the teams behind us won't catch us. I expect us to end up with the 8th seed, but we can't go on a big time slide we're custom to do. If we go 3-3 in our last 6 games, I like our chances of getting the 8th spot, but lets just go ahead and win them all to make sure.

I'd rather see us have a rivalry with Orlando with us being in the same division and all, but this may become one nonetheless, but until we can stay above .500, then theres no reason to even compare us to them. EDIT: Actually Toronto is a .500 team at 38-38, so maybe I'm wrong. What happened to that team? I thought there were up there with the Cavs especially with the way they played last year. Strange.

Sean Singletary will be a decent pro with the right team. He can hit any shot, can pass well, and is elusive as hell.

I can't say I'm surprised. So I guess James will be back in the rotation....sucks since he can NEVER get past the 5th inning.

Does this mean that we can move on????

Thanks for posting this. I feel confident that the win will stand. Woo-hoo!

Not to mention that many listeners can't get the 790 signal at night when the Hawks play. I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but it really irks me.

Its very possible they can move up, and with the way their playing, I wouldn't doubt it. Definitely going to that game.

So Jhay...you went to the game?

Got a replay here " http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=280402001 ", but nothing up close. From the looks of the clock on the graphic at the top, it looks legit. Not sure about the actual clock above the backboard.
