Houston vs. Atlanta game thread

[oiatlhawksfan]

I don't see a game thread so here it is I guess. I'll be in the chatroom.

The Hawks are a bad mood waiting to happen.

Maybe if I put together another game thread I'd atleast be able to get a rise out of those bums.

[gsuteke]

I just found some pretty funny Rockets stuff.

Hopefully Mike Woodson will find someone who can knock down a jumper.

Scolas 2nd foul early. That is HUGE!! They haven't lost since he was inserted in the starting lineup. No Landry either that should help a lot.

[Lascar78]

Where's Landry? I was looking forward to getting a good look at him.

[Murat]

Nice start, but i am not gonna get too excited since we always do good in the 1st quarter. We may still get blowned out though.

I'm getting Houston broadcast, and they made a really good point. It's all about motivation, and i really think our team lacks the engine to drive them up to their potential.

[Admin]

He is out, I think they said he has a minor injury but I wasn't completely paying attention. Interesting to note that the head ref in this game was the ref back in 93 when we broke the Rockets 15-0 start and Matt Bullard was on that team and he is announcing tonight.

I'd love to have that guy on the Hawks team. He's not a star, but he does everything well. He can defend, shoot the basketball, does all the little things, doesn't mind knocking some skin off his elbows and knees.

He's the ultimate glue guy in the NBA. The Memphis Grizzlies were absolute fools for trading that guy.

I'd say Rudy Gay is a pretty good player in his own right...

[Admin]

I would love to have him as well, but I think it was a good trade for both teams. Gay is going to be a superstar (or close to it) in this league for a long time. The Rockets needed a guy like Battier more than Gay because of the way they are built and the age of their team.

[KB21]

Looks like Joe is yet again trying to will this team into playing good.

[Admin]

GREAT to see Acie in there. I really hope he can stay healthy and play quality minutes for the remainder of the season.

Joe is playing pretty well so far, let's hope that he can keep it up. .

[SmooveTheFuture]

Are you kidding me I would take Rudy Gay and his 21 years of age over Shane Battier anyday. Rudy Gay will be a superstar in this league and Shane Battier will never even make an allstar team. Fools no way the fools are the Houston Rockets for trading Rudy Gay. He is already a way better player then Battier on offense and only in his 2nd year. ID trade for Gay anyday he is already way better then Marvin Williams in his 3rd year.

[dalamchops]

did i just see zaza do that??

[Curtis]

Battier will never be an All Star but in my mind he's a smarter Chillz.

I wanted him over DerMarr Johnson.

[oken]

yes you did.

he has the reflexes of a drunken snail.

haha nobody said anything about Marvin. It was Battier vs Gay.

[SmooveTheFuture]

Since the Hawks were up 14-4 its been 19 Rockets and only 4 for the Hawks this team can never build on a lead and put teams away its ridculous.

Smith sucked in the 1st quarter.
