Merged: Game 4 Game Thread

[thefloydian]

So you're going to sit there and tell me that the calls were legit at the end of that half? With a straight face? Come on.

Can you read?

The guy made the shots. Those two calls accounted for 2 points. What about all the other points the Hawks let go unanswered? Don't blame this on the refs.

You've got to be kidding me. I don't know what game you're watching but refs have been known to throw a series before (and ironically with Bibby in it) and I'm not saying that's happening here but those calls were absolute BS on both ends of the floor. You can say they were only 2 points but there's a lot more to fouls like that than the free throws.

Flip Murray did the same exact thing James Jones did at the end of the 2nd quarter and he didn't get a call. That's 3 points right there floyd. Bad calls add up. I've seen too much in this game.

Also, f**** TNT. Barkley and Kenny just have no love for the Hawks. All they do is hate on the Hawks and suck D-Wade's co**.

rofl. you gotta admit that was impressive by JJ (not joe johnson who still isn't playing superstar status) but james jones.

I can't hate on TNT ... what are they saying that's not true? We're pitiful when we play like this and deserve nothing but to be talked negatively about. It would be nice if they'd be honest about the officiating though, but of course to Barkley and "The Jet" there is no such thing as a foul. If that were true we'd still be dominating this game.

They just said that the Lakers aren't coming out with killer instinct so they talk negative about everyone.

Even if you call all of those fouls BS (Evans, Solo, Bibby, Bibby) and assume we score on the possession Bibby gave away, you're talking 6 points. The Hawks have a lot of problems and the refs aren't near the top.

The hawks had a 21 pt lead with 3:26 left. i don't think i have ever seen a team blow a lead that fast in any game. I have to give the Hawks credit. It takes special talent to do it in a game as important is this.

Why do you guys think it's about points? We all know how easily our team gets taken out of a game mentally when things are going bad (or dominates a game mentally when things are going well) and that's where we're seeing the big difference. We let the refs get into our heads and take us out of the game.

Can you read?

it was more than the 2 bs 3pt calls, not to mention momentum and the crowd factor. we got raped. barkley and kenny know it but have no balls to say it. replay shows the truth on both ends. mo evans charge started the bs.

[exodus]

Horford is such a wimp on offense. he fakes a guy off his feet and doens't bother to drive past him.

[Admin]

We really need to get Mario and Zaza back in there. Get Horford and Joe out of the game.

I have a hard time blaming the refs for the Hawks being mental midgets.

I'm not blaming the refs for that, I'm blaming the refs for creating a situation where the Hawks do that to themselves.

The problems with the Hawks being "mental midgets" is a much bigger and more disturbing issue.

If those calls make us blow a lead like that then it really doesn't matter. A team that weak minded doesn't belong in the playoffs.

Well if you feel that way then you should hope that the refs continue to call the game like that end of 2nd quarter so that the Heat can blow us out of the playoffs.

what game are you watchin this is out of control whistles

[Admin]

F*ck I am getting tired of Josh Smith complaining after every whistle. Yeah these calls suck but complaining about it isn't going to help. Nice to see Bibby get on him for it.

I want the Hawks to win as much as anybody, but I'm not about to blame the refs for them being embarrassed by a less talented squad.
