Game 52: Atlanta VS Golden State

[Plastic Man]

Sorry DJ can't join ya...this sux I get up for work in 4 hours.

C'mon Hawks we need this. I wanna wake up to good news.

[DJlaysitup]

Well at least Bibby looks OK to start - looks happy - hope he can play awhile.

Wow - Marvin working hard early!

[TheNorthCydeRises]

OMG . . Salim hit a shot !! . . and another . . AND A 3!!! . and FTs !!!

Good Lord, where has this been all year? This is what we need you to do man. Eat em up Salim !!!

[hawkman]

Good to see Salim getting off to a good start. He looks lightning quick out there.

[DJlaysitup]

This is a serious "chucking" contest.

[DJlaysitup]

Smokin their arses - Bibby can hit 3's Baby!

[DieHardHAWK]

Hawks are looking damn good, lets just hope the refs dont make up for all the calls we got in the first half

[TheTruth]

This team is such a different team when they are actually hitting more than one 3 pointer a game.

They look good against a team missing two starters. These are games we are SUPPOSED to win. Let's see if they keep up their stellar play.

On thing I am worried about is Bibby...he sure looked like he was in major pain at the end of the second quarter. He's a warrior though for playing through it. With this 18 pt lead I suppose we can give him some more rest and let Salim, Chill, and Joe man the PG duties for the time being.

[exodus]

Bibby has 15/6 at the half. When was the last time a Hawks pg did that?

Now lets see if they can avoid their usual second half slowdown/choke.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Almost a flawless first half. Now come on guys. You have a real nice cushion. Let's extend this lead to 25+ points by the start of the 4th. End this game early so that the starters can rest up for a tough Utah game tomorrow night.

LMAO . . it's just too much to ask. Lead down to 12.

Take the damn ball to the basket.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Damn . . we could've desperately use Law's penetration abilities right about now.

We need a few stops right here. Lead @ 9 now.

[DJlaysitup]

Well lead down to 5 now - Holy Cow - still 3rd qtr

5 point lead to start the 4th.

Chillz is SERIOUSLY saving our Arse now.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Chill is such a scrapper. He and Smoove are saving us.

Nice to see these guys clamp down a little on defense.

There you go J-Rich for 333333.

So nice to have shooters now.

[DJlaysitup]

I think we'll be OK now - JC and JS are pumped - JJ will pitch in too.

[Plainview1981]

What isn't Woodson bringing in Horford?

[Johnnybravo4]

Time to let Bibby close it out.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

So far, this is Woody's best coached game of the year. He's putting a tall defender on Davis to prevent him from jacking 3s. And on the offensive end, he's running everything inside-out, with JJ or Smoove receiving the ball down on the blocks.

And everytime people run out at Salim, he's givng the shot fake, and driving straight to the hole.

They've weathered the storm so far. Warriors will probably make one more push. Hawks up 11 with 5+ minutes to go.

Damn. Salim makes another good play by drawing the foul.

21 minutes for Salim . . . 15 points.

[Plainview1981]

They should take Marvin Williams stupid no scoring butt out of the game.

[bfwolf]

I gotta give a shout out to the refs for the way they called this game. Very equitable, which is tough when that raucous Golden State crowd is screaming for a foul non-stop.
