HamHawk

It is a true post, but we're supposed to turn a blind eye to the truth until it is absolute. What if the Hawks do pull of a MIRACLE? Then you will be saying "I was so wrong" even though we all will be saying it. lol And the Cavs team is very good. They're great actually. There is something special about this team that will be remembered for all NBA history and we are witnessing that history. When. . . I mean IF we lose then I'll be rooting Cavs to see that history manifest. Lebron will end his career as one of the greatest all time if he keeps this up. Anyways. . . . . . CAVS SUCK. . . GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with most everything written so far in this post, especially Diesel's "we can be better than this!". I'd like to see two things happen: 1) We get a coach that can get the most out of this athletic team by running different offensive sets, motivating his players to play great, and developing our young talent so they aren't stapled to the bench. 2) Make that one (MAYBE 2) big moves to tweak (not change, tweak) our team. I like the comparison to what Cleveland has done. We are being laughed at by the media for having no offense and sometimes no D. Imagine the players we have now being able to play at the height of their games in offensive sets designed for our TEAM's abilities. Imagine having that defensive PG or true C to put our physical make up over the top. We're on the verge of greatness,. . . . . if we only take advantage of it. That means tweaking and coaching.

Sad but true. Even if we get a bunch of ATL fans in the seats and no LeBrouches in the stands, we won't get loud unless we're winning or go on a huge run. Phillips is an awesome venue, but the fans make it an embarrassment to watch on TV. I love my Hawks, but sometimes I hate my Hawk nation. Get live people!!!

I (no lies at all) had a dream last night about the game too. I was watching SportCenter because I slept through the game on accident, and they had two scores displayed. . . . 110-102 Hawks win, and 97-92 Cavs win. They then changed topics, I left for work, then I woke up from the dream. If either of those show up tonight, look for the other to show up later in the series! hahaha

Woody has problems even motivating our vet players. Come on, we didn't even TRY in the last three quarters of game 2! We were zombies just watching our own asses get kicked. Woody is riding the team's record to hold his job, not what he actually does as a coach. Nevermind the record is due to our cast stepping things up. . . . And Phil Jackson is a hall of famer. OF COURSE it would be great to get someone to step in (previous coaching experience or not) that can motivate his players. It would also be nice to get a Michael Jordan/Scottie Pippen on our team. . . or perhaps a Kobe/Shaq. . . .that would guarantee us championships. I get your point though, and I would like a coach who develops and motivates players. That really isn't too much to ask for. . . .

Mental toughness is exactly it! We start the games good against any opponent, but we get shook so easily when they take the lead. No lead changes after the first??? WTF? Attitude reflects leadership so come on Woody!! Also, the "childish laughing and celebrating? It's a bit offensive when you're the team getting embarassed out there, but I have no problems with it. There really is something special about this Cavaliers team and the morale on the bench shows it. I hate it now, but when we look back on history it will show their dominance (IF they beat our Hawks and win it all).

I think this could be good, but watch Marv go off when he gets wherever his next destination would be. It'd be our luck.

It's better to be delusional than to be that fan who gives up before the game begins. . . . . You're probably right, but I'd rather be that ignorant idiot screaming in the bleachers when we're down by 20 points. Hawks fans live in a state of denial! LOL

Kobe is and always will be a whining little punk. He does that crap because he's too cocky to realize he's not supposed to. Damn some Kobe!

When we were hitting, we were right in it. Then we went cold. I'm thinking an offensive scheme that takes it to that little orange thing called THE BUCKET would be so beneficial to our Hawks. Oh to have a coordinator that would realize that. . . . . .

second, third, and fourth this post

I WANT A REMATCH!

AMEN, AMEN, AMEN! It will be a much closer series than CLE fans are thinking. And yes, I firmly believe we stand a legitimate shot in this one.

He's a good coach. He just can't get us consistent, to win on the road, run offensive sets designed for young athletic talent, or make in game adjustments at the appropriate times. . . . Yeah, other than that he's awesome.

Not an error, but you'll hear that it is from every Wade fan for the entire off season. I love how his response was "I'm not that slow". Uh. . . . you messed up by walking too lazily, but your first response is one of those "I'm D-Wade and can do no wrong" responses?? Weak. But we've come to expect that from him. It's sad really.

Oh, and it's fair dude. There is a right and a wrong way to handle every situation. . ..

Bibby I suppose, but if we could get some ball movement going like that ONE TIME in game 4 then I'd give it to whoever had the open look. Then again, that was only ONE TIME we had ball movement so we're kind of limited huh. lol

Getting inside is our only hope of a halfcourt game. If they insist on keeping the tempo slower and force us to a halfcourt, let's not just try for some pop shot jumper game. We've got the athleticism for more.

Who says you can't count on Z having a monster game again?? He's the one that got us hype for last year's Boston series. He came up big in a make or break game here in Game 4. Let's see what happens the more important the games get. I've said he wasn't all that and a bag of Doritos from the get go, but I will hold out hope for the possibilities. . .

Second, Third, and Fourth that motion

After the biggest win in an other wise semi-tight series, Superman gets suspended game 6 when Orlando is up a game. But he'll be back for a game 7 to be the "superstar that leads his team to the second round". It's a story so great, you couldn't write it if you tried. Or could you NBA. . . . ?? Hmmmmmmm Not saying the decision was made for the story line, but you know some of these things just seem a little ironic. . .

I can't decide whether I like the Iso Joe comic strip or the Mr. Potatohead better, but either way GOOD ONES GUYS!

Agree. 2-2 series coming up

Wouldn't that be nice! (not you of course). We have no halfcourt offense with all of our talent. Somebody explain who's fault that is.

I liked Sheed. . . he WAS an outstanding, aggressive player that would bring heart out of his team. . . . he WAS that guy. It's crazy seeing how the NBA has been making the transition to a newer younger generation. Or maybe I'm just getting old. . .
