Hawks vs Magic

[exodus]

LMAO @ Smith draining three jumpers to start the game. :lol6:

[Dexmethylphenidate]

Josh Smith candidate for MIJ---most improved jumper. Seriously.

[01d0rd3r]

Smoove is on fire from outside at the start. I am pretty impressed. Still not sure it is the good thing for the team for him to take those though.

[exodus]

PLEASE get Zaza out of the game.

[Dexmethylphenidate]

Bad sub by LD. Everyone's playing well then here comes Crawford and Zaza messing everything up. I think he sub them in a bit too early.

[TheTruth]

Good Lord! After a great start, we crumble with the backups in there. Zaza was absolutely terrible out there, and we couldn't get ANY offensive rhythm going with the backups in. Geez. 11 unanswered points...really?!

[Jackets333]

Why is LD subbing 6 minutes into the game with a 13 point lead? Keep pounding them. Good lord, coach! Horrible.

[TheTruth]

NOW he finally brings the starters back in. They should have been in there to start the second quarter. They keep this up and ORL will run away with it.

And of course, Howard is punking the hell out of Collins.

That's my feeling too. Hawks got a chance to pour on some more but that substitution feels like a Woody move.

[Dexmethylphenidate]

Loosing 50 lbs has definitely help Collins. He held his own with Dwight w.o double team. Hawks finally got their 7 footer with more than 2 in vertical.

yeah jason is actually playing fairly good positional defense....howard didn't get any dunks with him out there, he was at least forcing him to throw up hooks and work a little.....thats really all you can ask for

[exodus]

Just like last game stupid first half turnovers have killed them. 10 turnovers so far.

[jy23]

Etan is the worst player in the league LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :help wanted3:

[01d0rd3r]

Etan WTF!

[Crank]

Gotta do a better job if simply making the simple pass too much holding making phony pump fakes in the post lol

LD cant just decide to throw Etan out there like this he shouldve gave him a few more minutes leading up to this game . I think the minutes for Collins has helped him tremendously as has the weight loss .

[Dexmethylphenidate]

Hey, Hawks didn't lose the game yet against the Magic yet.

[TheTruth]

Etan Thomas is absolutely awful. No wonder this scrub hasn't played more than he has. Can't even make point blank shots. And Collins isn't much better.

We gotta find a better big man to go alongside Horford for once because Zaza (every other game or so), Collins, and Thomas won't get it done.

Can we finally put a body on somebody and play defense in the second half?

[Dexmethylphenidate]

Collins playing well this game. Did you see that point blank dunk he did under the basket? I've been screaming that for years with Zaza.

[exodus]

12 turnovers in the first half is just a joke for an experienced team.

Collins is here for games like this, being able to put him at the 5 and move al to the 4 to get away from howard.....we're not asking or expecting collins to do much, just hold his ground and let the rest of the team play straight up, he's doing ok at that. Howard is not able to just muscle his way in for dunks and he's actually working a lil bit for his points with collins in.....
