Hawks are the dumbest team in the league. They dominate the inside in the first half, so what do they do in the 2nd half? Act like they are in the 3 point shootout in All-Star Weekend. If I was the coach, I would tell the next person who shot a 3 pointer to sit his butt on the bench. I wouldn't be able to coach Smoove. I honestly don't think anyone can. He is the most stubborn player ever.

Seems to be the same old 4th quarter issues we had under Woody. It's just inexcusable to perform so poorly when the game really matters.

DJ, did you see the interview with Josh Smith? He CLEARLY sent a message to the fans.

Why are the Hawks playing so bad at Philips? Are they sending a message to the fans? Josh Smith did a post game interview after a game at home, I can't remember which one. But he sent a clear message to the fans to come out to Philips. I don't like how the Hawks are playing at home. Last year the Hawks rarely played a close game. Now they are losing by double digits to the Bucks? Struggled to beat Washington and Detroit. Didn't play well except for a 5 minute stretch against the Suns.

Why is LD subbing 6 minutes into the game with a 13 point lead? Keep pounding them. Good lord, coach! Horrible.

My first thought was this is another Marvin Williams. I don't understand it.

I'm sorry HawksWeisErrr but you don't know what you are talking about. I guess the defense shoulda held the Magic to 70 points in game 1. Seriously?

I was about to post something about this Suns team and Dragic. It's amazing how a guy can come out of nowhere and be an impact player. I wish our head coach knew a little about basketball. He should watch this Phoenix Suns team play to see how a team wins on the road and how you can get production out of players if you just teach them the game. Name 2 guys on the Suns besides Nash and Stoudemire who are better players than what the Hawks have. You can't do it. They are getting production from guys just on the way they play the game. I love watching the Suns.

To Joe: 1. Why do you look like a zombie? 2. Why do you stand and dribble for 20 seconds then pass to Zaza? 3. Do you know what sport you are playing? 4. Do your facial muscles work? I would like to see some excitement, not clinical depression.

I remember him getting an offensive rebound tonight...only to get the putback layup rejected by VC. Oh I also remember him missing about 5 WIDE open jump shots. Other than that I'm not sure what he did out there.

It's easy to see the talent gap between these two teams. We've seen it the last 3 years now. The smart people knew this was gonna happen. We aren't even good enough to beat this team at Philips. I suspect we get swept because they won't wanna go back to Orlando.

Just sad. Rashard Lewis is better than any player we have also. Just a total mismatch.

I knew it was over 2 minutes in.

The defense wasn't a big problem. Dwight played the first 21 minutes of the game. He dominated like he does. The offense is a joke and Joe was awful with about 5 turnovers in the first half. Just piss poor offense.

Yes. But the players gave incredible effort on defense tonight. Just an all-around team win.

Credit to Woody and the Hawks for adjusting and playing great team defense. I also wanna add that Kurt Thomas is the biggest piece of scum on earth. All this scrub does is stand in the lane and commit illegal screens all game. I wanna see him go down in game 7 when we are blowing their sorry butts outta Philips.

Joe may have a big game. What I meant was, Joe won't MOTIVATE this team. Someone has to light a fire under these guys asses. Smoove is probably bitchin in the locker room right now. Guarantee he and Woody are pissed at each other. Someone has to be the calming, motivating presence in the locker room. Who will it be?

My numbers indicate we have a 51% chance of winning. Woodson knows his job is on the line. Horford, Jamal and Marvin will motivate this team. Someone's gotta do the job since Joe won't.

The game shouldn't have come down to a box out. Josh was the one who didn't do the job, BTW. He just stood there and watched. But nonetheless, 19 points in the 4th doesn't win games.

Giving up 31 isn't good, but scoring 19 against a team that doesn't even wanna play defense? You could tell how the quarter was gonna go in the first minute. 5-0 and a timeout 55 seconds into the quarter.

Another pitiful 4th quarter performance because the coach decides to do away with everything that has worked the entire game. Slows the game down to a crawl and decides to give the ball to Marvin who is incapable of doing anything. Jamal scores 22 in the first half but the offense goes thru Marvin? Piss poor coaching.

You could even question why Josh is even in the game at that point. I mean it's obvious we are going for a 3 because we are out of time outs. Put all your 3 point shooters in the game.

Not to mention Josh was 2-7 from the free throw line. Yeah his stats look great but he played a bad game tonight.

38 points in the 3rd quarter followed by 14 in the 4th and the majority of the quarter I have to watch Josh just kinda throw the ball at the basket while double teamed.

Bush League officiating for sure. To call a T with 30 seconds left in a tie game is absurd. But this game was decided by rebounding and more 4th quarter BS offense. No reason to keep letting Smoove take shots like that. He had been throwing up crap all game and whining to the refs.
