Gray Mule Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Tough game. Tough loss. Sam I Am was on fire in the 4th and he singlehanded carried the Celtics on his back, hitting shot after shot, jumping into players and drawing the foul, doing his big d--- dance as he ran back down the court. This is a veteran team, filled with all star type players with a second unit that is better than many NBA starting five. They're probably favored to win it all. Yet, tonight, there was our Hawks, staying right with them until late in the 4th. When the Boston team pulls away late to take the win, our posters here find some that berate the Hawks for their play. At playoff time, experience means a lot. Boston's roster is filled with experienced players. It shows. Yet, our Hawks were staying with them. I believe they showed a lot of heart. They played hard. Some think that Boston will have an easy, four game sweep of the Hawks. Rest assured, they may sweep, but it ain't going to be easy. They will have to work hard for every win. Sam I am won't have four games to match tonight's. Any one who watched tonight's game and checks the season's stats - yet refuses to consider Al Horford for ROY. I'm still proud of the Hawks and I still believe in them. GO HAWKS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played much better defense than they usually do except on Cassel and that was encouraging! Even Zaza played good defense and rebounded well.

FrankWhite Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 The Hawks played hard tonight and lost. There's no dishonor in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Vol4ever Posted April 13, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Yeah Mule your right. I think some of the banter comes from BK has been doing this for 5 years and we still are not playing 500 ball. That was a good game and their vets came on in the end. Sam is an assassin. In the off season we need to get a GM in here who knows what they are doing. BK has blown draft after draft and Horf just fell in his lap. To go to the next level we need a couple of vets, coach, and a GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
