Hawkxan1

There's a reason I grew up in Chicago and have lived there my whole life but became a fan of ATL sports teams...

I'm liking the attitude, but the reality of us shutting down DRose is pretty low (sans Hinrich). Something to consider might be to even put JJ on Rose just because of his size and comparable strength. The key is stopping Deng from getting hot and keeping Boozer in his slump. But hey, if Teague steps up and plays like a mad man, we might have ourselves a hell of a series.

The only reason I picked Jamal to be most disappointing is because he's going to (mostly) have Brewer and Bogans on him. Bogans will hound him and Brewer will bully him and force bad shots. I picked Al to be MVP because he's played with Joakim, and if he gets any time at PF he'll abuse Boozer. Anyways, Hawks in 7 here we commmmmmmme :superman:

Hedo Turkglou is really trying to challenge him for that title in this series..

I don't know if you can say he CONSISTENTLY struggles against guys that we play twice a year (Bynum, MGasol, and Nene).

I generally hate seeing JC at the point, but in game 1 I didn't entirely mind it. He took relatively good shots and made some good cuts/passes. The pass where he drove and kicked to Hinrich for the three was pretty solid.

One of the biggest keys in my opinion, is to continue to shut down their perimeter shooters. If you let JRich, Hedo, or even a Ryan Anderson get involved, you have a completely different game.

You really need to wait and see how the playoffs pan out before you can go replacing people. And I don't really know how I feel about Adelman meshing with this team. I kind of feel like he might have a Larry Brown effect (circa Charlotte).

Gothca, thanks for the info. Regardless though, 2 techs in one game and he's gone. Here's hoping :biggrin:

I hope they come out pissed ,Dwight especially. Remember that T he got in game 1? One more and he's suspended for a game isn't he? Correct me if i'm wrong, that's just the impression I was under in terms of playoff rules. So hey Dwight, please do come pissed off and whip the ball at Twin's head. You could use a break..see you game 4!

There are an incredible amount of clowns on that forum... But the guy you quoted was pretty rational/fair. Most of the arguments that the other guys gave were worse than a hedo game 1 jumper.

Another trade that looked great on paper (for the Magic) but ended up hurting them as a playoff team. I'll be the first to say I thought it was a good trade for the Magic, but for your aforementioned reasons, it wasn't. It's very similar to the Denver trade for those reasons as well.

I can relate to that, but I do think JJ did a pretty good job of getting to the rim. I would definitely like to see Jcraw reign it in a bit next game just cause you aren't always going to hit the shots that he was hitting.
