We played horrendous for the majority of the game, the refs called the game with an agenda, and LD was completely outcoached, and yet we still manged to hang in there on the road in a must win game for them. The thing about the NBA playoffs is that its hard for the weaker team to ever win a 7 game series. They may win one or two, but to win 4 is almost impossible. We're clearly better than them, and I expect us to take this game, and come away from it a lot confident. Personally, I can not wait until Friday.. At least we're not the Knicks guys.

This is my favorite team of the year. ITs warming up outside, my senioritis is running at an all time high, and its playoff time. Awesome game so far. Every single one of them.

With Kirk-Jamal-Joe-Smoove-Al (or Big to guard Dwight) on the floor we should dominate this Magic team. With Jamal-Anybody-Anybody-Anybody-Anybody we will give up easy buckets to whoever their PG is, and our offense will be stagnant. I think LD is more open minded than Woody, as proven by his decision to not double Dwight, so I beg him to always put another point on the floor when Craw is on the floor. Thanks...

Joes face has to be on the possum though. Or you could just put all of the players faces on their own possums, and Larry Drew..

Joe looked like he was fresh off the operating table tonight. He has to keep that up. He played awesome tonight. In fact, everyone looked awesome. Even LD was Awesome. We played horrible since the All star game. I knew we were going to suck down the stretch though. I don't know, maybe the players were just bored? The Celtics and Lakers do this every year..

Yeah I was like WTF. But lets be fair. Its not like Kirk has seen the playoffs many times in his career..

LD reads Hawksqawk.

So far so good. Play him straight up, and let him kill us. don't give anyone else an open shot. Everybody on that roster except Dwight is a bum. Thank me later..

Last year I said the way to beat Orlando was to simply play Dwight straight up and let him beat you in the post. We, however, tried to double and even triple team him at times, and got KILLED on the break, and from the three. Dwight Howard still has no post move. He still has no back to the basket game. He still can't shoot. Stick Collins on him, and let Dwight beat us. I refuse to get killed by punk *ss Jameer Nelson again. That being said, I think we have a decent shot. My expectations aren't that high though. Why should they be? I didn't watch the last 2 weeks of Hawk basketball because I saw this coming. I knew Drew would rest people, and we would beat owned by teams like the Bobcats. The 07-08 team was better than this. More exciting, and they actually cared. Hopefully these guys can prove me wrong. I hope so. Like KG said........ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Leggo

We must beat these idiots..

I really didn't mean the last literal time he blocked a shot, as much as I meant why doesn't he block as many shots as he used to..

I've missed the last two games, but off the top of my head I can't seem to remember the last time he actually blocked a shot. Anybody else notice this?

I will not support goonery! :biggrin:

Larry Drew earned his paycheck tonight. It only took 73 games? Oh well. Better late then never. We need Smoove, dont get me wrong, but not if he is making himself and this team look like idiots on National TV. LD need to draw plays for Smoove that keep him in the paint where he belongs, or Smoove can get used to rotting next to Teague and the other bums. Other than that, awesome comeback win, like I said, we can beat anybody. I can not wait for the playoffs..

Pretty sad this question even has to be asked considering, but......do you thing he shows up? I doubt we can win if he doesn't...

In before somebody makes a joke invoking "nimbers" "heat checks" or" cooking with grease" BTW people on twitter are saying it actually was an EX Fer Nique owned money. Again, just a report.. "Rashan S. Michel" ring a bell to anybody?

Reports say Nique got the dude up lol..

I almost literally cried when I say that. He is trending on twitter right now....this is just too much..

We have the talent. Its just a matter of putting it together.That is all..

Ok so lets give Jason Terry and Nique max contracts because of what they did here in Atlanta.

We're paying him for stuff hes done over the last few seasons? Number 1, He hasn't done anything, and number 2, using your logic, why not pay Nique and Doc Rivers? We're overpaying him, and anybody else that would offer him that contract would be overpaying him as well.

There has been a time this season where I've wanted literally everybody on this team traded. Its Horf...kind of by default. Smoove has the BBIQ of a rock, Marvin is mediocre, Joe is an overpaid ringless lame loser, I don't know enough about Kirk, Craw is a chucker, Teague is improving but he isn't my favorite, and there is no reason to talk about anybody else.

Of course he is overpaid. This is like renting a house that has roaches, a draft, no water or heat for 600 dollars a month only because you've been living there for a while and don't want to move when you could have gotten another house for cheaper than did more. Of course he is overpaid. This really isn't even a legit debate imo..

Doesn't matter Supporter. With Joes production we could have let him go and signed a John Salmons, hell, even T Mac. He doesn't attract attention, put people in the seats, or win in the playoffs.

Meaningful games? He took my Panthers to the SB 2 years after going 1-15. Joe Johnson has BARELY gotten us out of the first round, and is still yet to win a game once we get there. He has done nothing special with this team, but yet there are human beings that will defend his mediocre play, AND horrendous contract, just because. We deserve better. This team has shown no heart for about 40% of the year, but yet, here we are. We deserve better than Joe Johnson..
