Tyson Chandler is not in the game for scoring, he's in the game for defense, rebounding and occasional alley-oops.

The Dream definitely play with more of a will to win then the hawks.

Our bench will probably look the same as this past season. Crawford would be our only scoring punch off the bench if he comes back. How are we going to have a great bench? We don't have a bench anywhere near as good as Dallas' bench, and they have one of the best in the NBA. We need more scoring and energy guys off the bench to be considered one of the best. Marvin Williams hasn't been good off the bench. We need to replace him fast if he's not bringing a lot of production off the bench.

Crawford would give OKC another scoring option if Westbrook is too out of control or if Durant isn't shooting well from the field.

I actually think that he played decent, but seriously how much did you really expect from him.

It's funny how Al Horford is always talking about his teammates in the media, but he is the one that didn't show up in this series.

There is no excuse for Horford not playing no defense. He was giving up wide open shots.

Jordan Crawford is only a rookie. Why do people think he has to be perfect or a great player already. Give the guy a chance. He is playing exceptional well for where he was drafted. He plays a lot better than some of the players on the hawks current roster.

. I'm sorry. I meant to put a +1, not a -1. Can someone else give him a +1? Thanks a lot.

If the hawks don't beat this team, then there's nothing more I can say.

The hawks are a sorry team. They show up when they want to. It's like they don't even care. They wonder why there's not a lot of people at Phillips arena. They forget that people spend their own time and money to watch them play. They're making all this money to do nothing on the court. It is really really hard to be a hawks fan now.

When Marvin is aggressive, he can get to the free throw line anytime he wants.

The Knicks came out with more energy. They played tight defense. They played like they wanted to win. The hawks played flat, and they stopped playing defense at the end.

The problem is that the hawks play hard when they want to. One game they look great, another game they look horrible. I think all the Knicks fans in Phillips got to them.

I'm glad that Jordan Crawford could now get a chance to shine in Washington, rather than sitting on the hawks bench.

I would pick Nolan Smith over Walker because I think he is more mature and Walker forces way too many shots up. I think Smith is more of a complete player that would work hard to improve in the NBA.

Why are we not trying to get Battier? He would be a huge plus for us, especially on the defensive end.

What about Nene?

I am so happy that the Knicks got Carmelo, but I thought that they should've signed him in the off-season since he said he wanted to go to New York. I didn't want the knicks to give up Gallinari and Wilson Chandler, but they probably wouldn't get playing time behind Melo anyway. I still think Denver got all they could've gotten out of this trade. I don't know why Minnesota did this trade.

You were close, Packers 31-25. I'm glad the Packers won. I always go with the underdogs for the superbowl to prove all those analysts wrong. They won even with all those injuries. It was a good game though. GREEN AND YELLOW. GREEN AND YELLOW. GREEN AND YELLOW. GREEN AND YELLOW.

Good move by the hawks.

I would do a deal for Tayshaun Prince. He is shooting 49% from the field and 41% from three.

-A few years ago when the hawks played at New Jersey, and they were up by two points, then Vince Carter made a game winning three point shot over Josh Smith. -Last year when the hawks played at Golden State on ESPN, and after the third quarter the hawks was up by 17 points, but ended up losing the lead, and the game, in the fourth quarter. After that game, I told myself that I was done with this team, but I always end up coming back.

Haha. That was funny.

I don't know how the Spurs do it, but they always get the best out of their draft picks.
