  4. Last night was one of the top performances of the year.

    in Homecourt

    LA didn't play very inspirational defense, but that shouldn't take away from the effort last night. Pretty much everyone contributed to the effort and they moved the ball around last night on a consistent basis when that's been a huge issue all season. Almost every game they have a huge drought and forget to pass the ball and they didn't let that happen. They out hustled LA, they outplayed them man to man, and they play the type of defense they should be playing every night. Joe's defense was outstanding as was everyone else with maybe the exception of Mike and Jamal. Kobe had his hot period, but that wasn't because of defense. A hand was in his face most of the time and they played him a lot like they have played Wade in the past and it worked.

    If the bench plays like they did last night, this team can beat anyone in the east with maybe Orlando being the exception. Yes, they could even beat the Cavs if the bench plays like it did last night. The Hawks have proven that can manage despite sometimes big games from the other teams star player and you know that LJ will get his.... But they don't have that 20/10 guy like Howard, so they're beatable. Simply put, last night was what the team would be if ZaZa and Mo brought it every night.

    Great effort and one of the best wins of the year. They manned up and played a great game. They didn't falter or just count on the other team having a terrible game. Which was mostly the case in the Orlando game.

    Um how about Antawn Jamison or Shaq. :thumbsdownsmileyanim:
