HalfHawk

24 Boston free throws, 10 Atlanta free throws.Inconsistent whistles.The @#$% up no FT's call at the end.Robbery. Hang your head up high Hawks, the Celtics didn't win that one.

Larry Drew is gone this off season.

I'll give it to Boston, their stars did show up, but if you're expecting them all to collaboratively play this well again, you're dreaming.

MoBetta's posts.

It wasn't you, it was me..When regulation was over I went to the bathroom to pee after I'd been holding it in for the entire game. Sorry guys, this one's on me.

It's always post-apocalyptic around here after a loss.I do agree with you though. Get up, dust yourself off, and move on. This is a best of 7 series.

Jinx thread.

You're concentrating too much on one match up. Take a minute to think about how in the world they're going to guard Joe. Bradley? Too small, Joe's post game would overwhelm him. Ray? Ray's been having bone spurs for a couple weeks now, I'd like to see him shut down anybody with the old legs. Pietrus has a chance, though starting Rondo/Bradley/Pietrus would be suicide if LD has any sense to counter with Teague/Joe/Marvin. How about the benches? I can confidently say we're better at every reserve position and there's really not much discussion there. I'm not saying we're going to blow them away, but we're not going to get swept.

I'm not saying the music they play now is any good, but I'd purposely stay away from the telecast until the tip-off if they decided to add representative Atlanta-based rap to the telecast in anyway shape or form. Unfortunately, real rap is dead, but hip-hop, in general, has been killed, beaten, mutilated, and mangled in Atlanta.. Case in point, "rappers" such as Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy. However, if FS could somehow strike a deal with an artist that represents the "A" well, I'd be all for it.

Please enlighten me

Two questions regarding L.D. and his decision making at the end of the game..Why the hell were Marvin and Josh playing the 4 and 5 against Hawes and Brand?And why the hell wasn't Willie subbed in for Jeff?

Boston. I hate Boston.

Unless you live down here, it's really hard to understand just how little of a [expletive] the public gives about the Atlanta Hawks.

I really don't mind which games we win or lose at this point of the season as long as we stay where we are in the playoff standings.. The 6th seed, IMO, would be a helluva lot more favorable for us than the 5th.

This could possibly be the most idiotic Josh-hate thread to date... He has a good.. scratch that, great game and you fault him for it? No, you're right.. If he's not going 40/30/20 day in and day out, he's not playing to expectations. Could you please just pipe it?

What I'm thinking whenever I see Jason Collins get up from the bench..

Joe Johnson 2012.

Agreed, Kyrie is a downright STUD!Cleveland shouldn't fret about losing tonight or generally being a losing team at the moment; their future is extremely bright with this kid to build around.

Kevin Garnett, when asked if the dunk by Hawks guard Jeff Teague fired up the team. "I don't know who you talking about. That guy's a nobody." Obviously there's still some bad blood between the Celts and Hawks. If we meet up again come play off time, it'll be the '07 series all over again.

I'm only slightly pissed seeing Jeff Teague choke so horribly on that wide open three to tie the game, but I'm pissed the f**k off that Joe, after single-handedly getting us back in the game, has to turn to Jeff and see a big *ss f*****g grin on his face.

Woody benching Lin is just speculation...

This is from Woody himself, "Jeremy is a big part of what we do. He's our starting point guard."

He had six years of coaching here and I honestly do think he's learned from his mistakes. Granted he'll still lean towards isolation offense and switching defense, his tendency of benching rookie PG's stops with Lin.

per John Hollinger.

I'm guessing we'd have released the guy we drafted anyways..

I've got a job interview tomorrow and I stay up for that s**t?

F**k you Hawks! And a big, special F**K you to Zaza and Pargo!

I think the issue the Hawks have with hiring coaches is that they're limited by the 1980 NBA Draft.

(Pick #38) Terry Stotts 2002–2004

(Pick #12) Mike Woodson 2004–2010

(Pick #17) Larry Drew 2010–present

Coincidence? I think not..

To be honest here, if it wasn't for his first 3 quarters, we wouldn't be here to complain about what his mistakes in the fourth quarter cost us.

At least consider that before making a thread solely highlighting his mistakes when you have Marvin's $8 million dollar disappearing act, which impacted us just as dearly.
