They need to try and play alittle bit of defense.

Just on Nash. You would figure they would have gotten a clue by now that he is hot.

---

Knock him to the floor or something atleast. You got to get rough with players like Steve Nash.

Marvin has been lights out tonight.

14/10 after 3. That midrange j is money.

Now JJ needs to get going.

Childress with the turnaround airball.

Steve Nash is a amazing player, all respect to him. I do think he is on steroids however.

---

he tends to look good when nobody is defending him.

---

He shot .532 from the field last season and .455 from 3pt range. His true shooting % was an insane .652. He pretty much always looks good on offense.

He's either going to destroy you . . or destroy us.

Either way, you have to deploy it sometimes. He's potentially too good of a shooter to just leave rotting on your bench.

Good job Salim.

---

I want to see Salim more and Lue a lot less. I know Salim can have a bad night, but at least he is not punding the ball and killing our momentum.

Question...Why does Horford play so little? He only seems to play around 25 or less minutes a game.

---

4 turnovers and 3 field goals might have something to do with it.

In our defense there's not much anyone's been able to do to slow down Nash for the last several years.

Love seeing Salim drain some bombs tonight!

We lost some ground but haven't lost control of the game like we did with the last two. Staying a step ahead without JJ having a good night.

I'm feeling good about this one so far. The effort is back tonight after a game off against the Nets.

The only thing that's killing me is the number of offensive boards we gave up in the 3rd. No one's been boxing out.

11 rebounds and 2 blocks should have something to do with it, too. Horford's going to have his ups and downs offensively, but the rebounding will always be there.

Great kick by Salim to Chillz. Salim has to play more.

Salim has come up big without the dumb plays and forced shots he usually makes.

Horford with 5 turnovers now.

You have still have something against Horford don't you?

[CrawDaddy]

The refs are starting to pull the whole "This is PHX, they aren't supposed to be losing to ATL" act and calling ticky tack fouls. First on Horford's illegal screen and then on Smoove's poke away of the ball. I can't wait for a day when we get some respect referee-wise.

[AHF]

Is Grant Hill just begging for foul calls right now?

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Who does Woody go with, when the clock hits 5 minutes left?

a) stick with Salim

b) put Law back in

c) put Lue back in

I do tonight. It is ridiculous for him to have 5 turnovers considering how few touches he has gotten.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

LOL . . OK . . Law is in now. But there's still 4 minutes until we get to that 5 minute mark.

a) stay with Law the rest of the game

b) put in Lue

c) put in Salim

[mrhonline]

Kudos to Salim tonight. The Hawks needed this effort.

BTW, Marvin has a double-double, and JJ, Al, and Childress are all close to double-doubles.

[HawksFan87]

great play by Smoove and Marvin............

if the man has 5 turnovers the man has 5 turnovers. it's like they say, "it is what it is."
