They always stop sharing the basket ball in the 4th quarter when

they have a lead.Iso Joe/Craw is killing the team

in the 4th quarters.They are giving the other team what it wants.

CONTESTED fadeaway JumpShots!

No driving to the hoop, no free throw attempts ,no draw and kick

, no posting up , or running plays.

Just dribble , dribble , dribble , fade-away ( clank) over and over.

All the other team has to do is just keep chipping away at the

lead until they have it to single digits , then go in for the kill.

Yeah all they had to do was what they did all game. Swing the ball around and find the open man, easy bucket. That would be a lot less work than going iso. I hate to say it, but it might partly be I'm gonna look bad if I make 18m and don't put up a respectable nimbers. Or I need a contract let me inflate my nimbers.

Is there anyway to change the color of links in chat they are yellow and impossible to read. I know there is a gradient that makes it easier to read when it gets to the top maybe it can just be the top color.

I, for one, would be pretty happy if Bibby signs with anyone else but us. We need to find out what we have in Teague, and develop his confidence which had hit absolute rock bottom. Bibby addresses non of our weaknesses.

I agree, I'm hoping confidence helps him finish at the rim better.

Hinrich has the same career shooting percentage. I dont' know if that is knockdown or not. Too bad they couldn't take Teague's legs and put them on bibby.

How much better did Hinrich look than Bibby? Sorry i was wasted at a friends last night.

300% better. Made his first shot as a hawk...which was a 3pt. It was like they passed a torch or something. No disrespect to how bibby helped us when he first came here.

I hope Teague continues to get meaningful minutes, but I hope someone teaches him how to hold onto the ball. Seems like both of our pgs had the ball knocked away a few too many times last night. If getting the ball knocked away is the price to see this team play with intensity, i'll take it.

Teague should not be taking out of starting lineup for Kirk, Kirk looked no better than Teague tonight. He looked just as bad as Teague did off the bench. He was in the game when GS cut lead from 30 to 11 or 12 in a quarter. He should not be rewarded for that.

I hate to play the blame game but it seemed like crawford was getting abused during that run.

I do think Teague has earned some more PT ... maybe a consistent 15 minutes. However, Hinrich is our starter

I agree with the PT time, but I think teague and craw don't play well together. So I would prefer them to not be on the court at the same time.

I forgot to mention that our defense looked miles better with teague and hinrich keeping their guards in check. Our bench was still terrible outside of hinrich and Crawford. Crawford actually was playing with energy when hinrich was on the court with him and he actually passed the ball to Hinrich.

i didnt watch this game since im still dealing with the frustration of this team but was this game like the jazz game where we were hot from the perimeter? Or were we actually getting the ball in the paint

The team decided to play with energy and move the ball and of course we looked great when we did. Put the bench in, in the 4th and our 25 point lead feel dramatically, but it was still under control. When hinrich came in we looked like a completely different team.

I hope they still continue to give Teague minutes after Hinrich gets integrated. I thought he looked decent on offense against the suns. Just need to get defensive assignments straight.

It must be hard to motivate a millionaire athlete in a league with guaranteed contracts. How do you do it? Playtime? Yell at him? Trade? Hopefully they respond to your type of motivation.

That is what it seems to look like now, but at the beginning of the season I think they were playing a little differently and it was pretty exciting.

That was a very nice video I hope he still plays like that for us!

I can't wait to play the Celtics. Remember when Rondo threw Hinrich into the scorer's table? And as someone pointed out we already have very chippy games against the Celtics.

Yeah it looked like there was a ton of confusion on the defensive end when Teague was in there. Almost like the team had been running a switching D for a really long time. Hopefully they can get that fixed in practice or something.

If anything we should make it like a +/- so we can say so and so poster has this effect on the boards. I mean have both numbers so we can see how polarizing a poster is.

I'm assuming this is rep level? I just noticed this today.

Yeah I think they showed up today maybe because of the strong troll presence.

I see the opposite. Had the Hawks stayed pat they had no chance at gettting out of the 1st round. With Hinrich are biggest weakness (perimeter defense) is strengthened.

The "Defenseless Duo" of Carmelo and Stoudemire will have to prove to me that they are better then the Hawks.

Right now the Magic have been struggling as much as we have.

The Hawks have a very good shot at #4 seed and Hinrich has the ability to play J. Nelson much better then Bibby. I think the Hawks have a good shot at beating this Orlando team in Round 1 and seeing Boston in Round 2. This Hawks team has a lot of confidence against Boston. I would love to see them in the 2nd Round.

I think that is the path through the playoffs that everyone wants, hopefully we end up with it.

I think that and he really didn't want to be traded. He has stated that he likes playing here.

And his kid is here. I wonder how much he will want? He makes 10m now.

Its funny that Boston traded the rights to Green for Allen and now they have Green and Allen.

Had we moved Marvin, do you think any Hawk would be saden like they are now??

Would they stop playing 'At home with Marvin' on SportsSouth?

The Crawford goes back into his 6th man of the year form!

Crawford has a very strong finish.

Now that he is playing for a contract I can see the same thing!

Quite honestly....

I was hoping we'd package a deal with Jamal in it and have Jordan take over more minutes. He can score no doubt. He just needs playing time. Shame we had to give him up.

Yeah I think most people were hoping we were able to move Jamal's expiring for something, but he really killed his value this season. He has played pretty poorly this season, I don't know if it was the lack of extension or him just being streaky.

I liked seeing Jordan playing pg, the one time he got on the court, and passing to stone hands. After seeing so many young guards come into the hawks teams with no confidence it was nice to see a guy who had some.

Isn't every fan's wish that a draft pick develops into something? It would've been nice to see him dunk on Lebron.

Yes please no more on how terrible the trade is...it happened so lets just wait and see what it is like.
