Thank god i didnt destroyed my laptop when KK made that turnover at the end!!!!!

Crazy game! i almost smack my laptop when KK made that turnover at the end!!!! Luckily Pierce made that 3 late lol. Im really happy for Hawks and their long time decade fans. It's been a long time since Hawks made it to the ECFs. This Hawk team right now is really special. Teague was on point tonight, Sap is on fire too. Great ball movement, and team defense, that's Hawk team basketball i really enjoyed watching. Hopefully they can carry that through ECF. Now let prepare against Cavs in ECF! Lets keep on Cheering and show support!!!!! Go Hawks Go!!!!

Its the playoffs, every team want their players to be playing. I do still wish that Thabo was playing right now and helping his team in the playoffs. His perimeter defense and his versatility make Hawks more of a threat. The reason why Coach Bud been resting his starters a lot in the regular season, back to back games is because he wants them to be healthy and ready before playoff starts.

Teague is a true team player! Big respect!

That's coach Bud lol, he will always try his best to find ways to help his team.

Hawks had a lot of turnovers and looked like they were about lose the game, but they didnt give up! They showed a lot of heart and keep competing until to the end, and ending up getting a win! Horford last winning effort rebound and lay in was amazing! Time to close this series in Washington! Go Hawks Go!

Hawks will win this, now that Jeff Teague realized that he needs to be aggressive to help his team beat the wizards. Thanks mike bibby for texting Jeff Teague!

I still remembered people bashing on Teague in Hawksquawk chat room because he wasn't being aggresive lol.

Im really for happy for Teague, glad to see him having that aggresive mentality back again.

Great win! Hawks were really well prepared for game 4. Starters played better compared the last game. Playing for each other, not doing by themselves too much, they did that for full 48 minutes, it's like the hawks i saw in regular season when they were in hot streak. Im glad to see them to play like that again. My man crush on Teague is also back. He is one of my favorite point guards in the nba because he's really underrated, and he's such a laid back dude and emotionless even after making his big time shots. I think teague realized now that he needs to be aggressive every game to keep his team going.. It's one of the big reasons why Coach Bud chose Jeff teague to be the head of the snake of this team. Jeff has the ability to read the opponents defense really well, he can either attack the basket or create plays for his teammates. Dennis played great, his aggresiveness is always there and he's always on attack mode. I just would like to see him to be more in control, and making more good decisions, taking care the ball more and not forcing a turnover. Give some credit to Moose too. His size and length really help his team on the defensive end. Setting screens for Jeff and Dennis is huge too, he gives the team more momentum. Overall great team win, Hawks responded really well after losing in game 3! Series its not over yet, time to prepare for game 5! Go Hawks Go!

Thats why they need a big man. I think that's only missing piece for the hawks. Hawks have enough talent but they need a big guy that can get rebounds and stop opponent scorers driving in the paint.

You dont need a hall of famer to win a championship, your already looking down on Jeff teague, Al horford and Millsap that easily. It's like you don't trust them. If you are insisting for a trade and they do get traded, what will happen to the team chemistry?

You still have to give Hawks some credit for having 60 wins in regular season, breaking their franchise record. Are you expecting Hawks to win a championship this season? Winning a championship is never easy, it takes a lot of heart, dedication and will. It also takes good fortune. Don't get mad if Hawks don't win championship this year, It means Hawk have still have long ways to go. Good thing now is that Hawks got themselves a really good coach, Coach Bud have a lot of championship experience from the Spurs. But it doesn't mean hawks will instantly win a championship just because they have coach Bud. The players will still have to put the effort in, and have that dedication and commitment, if they want to win a championship. I also hope that Hawks will hire a big man for rebounding, and defending the paint, for next season. Trading Pero for a better High IQ player is also not bad.

Yea i kinda agree with you, i was disappointed too how the starters played in this game, it's like they were unmotivated, no purpose, just going through the motion. Bench played better than the starters. But i trust Bud that he will punish his starters, and they will play better in game 4 with sense of purpose and urgency. Also,Hawks playing in playoffs without Thabo, Yeah, we can't use that as an excuse, but it will be such big advantage if Thabo was playing. He's the best perimeter defender in the team, he's such a versatile player, and he can help his team in so many ways. About Talent, I think hawks have enough talent, i think their missing one piece, they just need a center that can protect the rim, get rebounds and close driving lanes, like timmy, Aldridge, or Gasol. Im having high hopes that Hawks will hire a big man next season, He doesnt have to be a superstar, just an average skilled big man that will fit in their system.

You just have to give the wizards credit, they played better team ball compared to Hawk Starters. All we can do now is hope that the starters will play better in game 4 and play Hawk team basketball that we used seeing in regular season.

Hawks were the 8th seed last year, and this year Hawks won 60 games breaking their franchise record, Dennis improved a lot, Teague, Korver, millsap, and horford, were nominated for All star game. Coach Bud became coach of the year, 19 winning streak in january. That's a big improvement i was talking about. About the draft, I know coach Bud and Danny Ferry will look for players that fits in the system, they are not going to look for a superstar player. This is why I enjoyed watching the Hawks because they win games by playing as a team, not as individuals. But at some times they play as individuals and forget how to trust each other, and moving the ball and ending up losing, which is fine because everyone is not perfect. Every team make mistakes. Don't give up on Teague, horford , millsap, and DMC. You know they are banged up, and They are also important pieces in the team. Now what hawks need is more playoffs experience but with same the group, so the chemistry is still strong . Just like how Spurs and the Clippers they kept their same core players, and they keep getting better year after year. Im sure Danny Ferry and Coach Bud will do the same for the Hawks by keeping their core players. Even if hawks gets eliminated in this year playoffs, they can set a new goal in next season, and use it as motivation and fuel.

Hawks need a rim proctector and size like Tim Duncan, so other opponents cant drive easily in the paint and score.

Hey dont give up yet, i think Hawks getting to many expectations including winning a champion this year just because they got 60 wins and had a 19 winning streak this season. Even if hawks get eliminated in the playoffs, they can keep continue building and improving from this season to next season.

ahh okay i see, i thought you wanted to trade Coach Bud and get a new coach lol.

So you willing to trade him away?

Lol your blaming everything on coach Bud? Starters didn't even care winning this game... bench showed a lot heart and competed harder than the starters.

Lol that really sucks, but have faith in hawks, the series is not over yet. Starters need to slap themselves and wake up and play better in game 4.

So you want to trade Coach bud?

This is probably the most toughest and depressing hawks loss i've seen.. I hope the starters will care to win game 4.. Benched showed a lot of heart, unfortunately Paul pierce made the last winning shot.. Stay strong and keep fighthing, series is still not over yet.
