I don't think you even watched the game Walter, be honest. This game was lost due to Woody getting outcoached by Riley down the stretch, and veteran savvy over youthful inexperience on the court..ie, putting Lorenzen in vs Shaq...and the two HUGE offensive fouls drawn by Haslem, and missed free throws. Really this game should have been won. I don't think it proves we are far from contention at all. Both teams played poorly without their star players, both teams were hot, the Heat hotter, the Heat just had more experience and more guys who knew how to win and pulled it out. The Hawks are very close to being in contention actually. Be Honest walter, you only come on this board to hate, you don't even watch the games, you just look at stats and box scores and regurgitate the material of any negative pundit you can find. Cya.
