Heat vs Hawks

[AHawks89]

This otta be a good game. I'm hoping to see the normal starting five: Kirk, Joe, Marvin, Josh, & Al. We should be able to match up well with their line up;especially since Udonis Haslem (foot), Zydrunas Ilgauskas (foot) are not playing tonight. We're tied 1-1 as of now, and have 1 more following game after this one against the Heat.

In order for us to win tonight, Joe needs to shoot a helluva better than he has been, Josh needs to stop making terrible decisions, Al needs more touches and needs to be more aggressive, LD doesn't need to play Jamal the whole 4th quarter, and of course our bench has to contribute.

Who is going to the game tonight? How will the fans treat Bibby when he gets in the game?

Go Hawks!

The march towards .500 continues!! LOL

[AHawks89]

Haha I hope not! This would be a great win, but usually when we do win a big meaningful game, we embarrass ourselves the next few games. Hopefully, we can win this game and go on a run. :derisive:

Oh yeah, wonder if Jamal, Kirk, or Jeff will break Bibby's ankle tonight? That would just be dirty! :spiteful:

[macdaddy]

If Bibby gets anything but good cheer i'll be disappointed. Especially with some of the effort we have been seeing lately. Bibby always brought everything he had every game.

To me this is a huge game. Are we contenders or pretenders. Its not a must win but a must compete. Its sad but true. The Heat are getting close to full playoff mode and we should be too. If we lay an egg it may be the begining of the end for this group.

[AHawks89]

I'm afraid that you're right. And I'm on the same boat as I, too, wish nothing but cheers for Mr. Bibby. I don't like the fact that he went with the Heat, but you can't blame the man. I will always like Bibby.

i just have the strangest feeling that we are gonna play with alot of effort tonight.

[AHawks89]

We need a lot from our guys, mainly focus, energy, and heart. In my opinion, I see this as a win tonight. This would be great for us, our team, city, and fans. Hopefully, everyone contributes and has a good game. This message board will be much more enjoyable with a W tonight. I hate coming on here at times and being reminded that we're playing like total crap as of now. Let's go Hawks!!! :superman:

[benhillboy]

I can't see a win tonight in any form or fashion. Hopefully I can add this the "what you were wrong about" post.

[APE]

I want to see how they come out and if they try to play as a team rather than that one guy trying to do too much.

[Bawse]

Agreed...sad but true. Recently i've just expected the worse from these guys. Heat will probably blow us out of the building, I predict a 110-85 score. Bibby will probably only have 9 or 10 points, but D-Wade and Lebron will both have double-doubles.

[tremor]

We have the tools to beat the Heat: good defenders for both James (Marvin and Damien) and Dwayne (Kirk and Joe). They don't have inside presence and can be outrebounded and outscored in the paint.

They are one of the best teams in terms of playing the passing lanes and turnovers are serious issue for the post trade Hawks. LD needs to address this in his game plan.

[Wretch]

This is a must win game I would say. It's one of those games that teams set out to make a statement. Miami is thinking championship and is not concerned about us. We're STILL trying to prove that we are a relevant team in the East. Like I said before, it's put up or shut up time.

This is an opportunity for the team to make a statement...let's see what they say tonight!

Going against my better judgement, common sense, and all that says we should lose tonight...I have a feeling that either A) we run away with this thing or B) we GIVE the game to them. I don't think it'll be a game where we're just outgunned. I think we're going to either play VERY well and win or just play WAY worse then we're capable of and get blown out.

...which now that I think about it directly equates to how many jumpers the team takes (and makes, if they're hot) and how badly Smoove is missing on his/turning it over.

Live by the jumpshot, die by the jumpshot. :resent:

[Marvin24Williams]

Bibby's homecoming: 12pts 4 ast

Kirky Kirk: 10 pts 3 ast

Threeague: 2 pts (1-7) 2ast 15 mins playing time

I hope someone does this to 'Bron tonight:

[QuantumHawkz]

It will be a good game with the hawks walking away with the win. I really see us playing hawks basketball( which is defense, trunovers, fastbreak). HAWKZ 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yungsta]

i wonder if they r gonna be selling lebron/wade shirts

[AHawks89]

Na, they won't sell neither I'm assuming. Only reason I think they were selling Kobe jerseys is because he this generation of MJ and of course cause our owners are CHEAP!!!!

But knowing LD, Damien will get a dnp-cd, and he'll have Jamal guarding Wade.

Got to say now that the night has come I sure hope bibby gets a standing ovation.

[Wretch]

Bob hit the nail on the hand about Josh with the spin, jump hook, going to his left - not a PF in the league that could stop him.. BEAUTIFUL move.
