Hawks vs. Pistons GAME THREAD

[Atlantaholic]

Shelden is terrible. It's been a while since I've seen a player with that total lack of skill... good thing for him that he's a wide body.

it would be nice if the refs called some fouls

Yeah, seriously. So far I've been impressed with Horford's passing. We need to figure out what to do when they double team in the corner. We keep having issues with that.

Acie already plays like a vet, even from the little I've seen of him, he's so calm out there. And can finish with either hand so easily.

[BossTweed]

They are getting too many offensive rebounds. We are getting some too though.

Shelden "Plastic Man vers. 2.0" Williams for two. Hawks lead.

His shot selection has been the most impressive for me. He hasn't forced a single shot so far... that's tough to do for a scoring pg.

From the box score, it sounds like Shelden Williams has played better in the regular season than the preseason.

I like the way Marvin is playing. He is very aggressive on D and on the defensive boards. And he looks confident with his shot.

I really hope this isn't a trend, especially with Smoove. 2 TOs in the first quarter after he had a bad game last time with ball control (6 TOs I think).

And Acie is already showing off his floor general skillz as he calls the troops to a huddle.

Like the way things look.

[oiatlhawksfan]

[oiatlhawksfan]

Shelden and Nasr going at it amuses me.

Definitely, he taking smart shots too. Faking and moving and shooting nice jumpers.

Nice shot again by Acie, and then Shelden getting fired up!

[BossTweed]

Acie Law taking it STRONG!!!

[oiatlhawksfan]

Seems like Shelden is fired up!

[Atlantaholic]

he's a fitting outlet for frustration

[Atlantaholic]

Acie Law is the wind beneath my wings.
