[willthepureshooter]

JUST A REMINDER THAT WE PLAY CHICAGO @4PM TODAY!

[Gray Mule]

Thanks.

I would have looked @ 7:30.

ESPN Another national telivised blowout. Hawks lose by 28.

--------------------------

[willthepureshooter]

No.. no.. no.. I think we will win this one today. Marvin being out will work into the favor of us frustrated fans.

[AJtheGreat]

3 missed jump hots by Smoove already smh

[HalfHawk]

Jeff Teague's spacing and court vision on fast breaks is so damn bad, I'm already losing faith in his "point guard of the future" status.

[AJtheGreat]

And the team is already down by 14

Another blowout on national tv

[Gray Mule]

My bad. Loss by 28? That looks good right now. Down by 18 @ the end of one.

Lets see. 18 x 4 quarters = loss by 72 points!!

Another great nationally telivised game for the Hawks.

And, remember, Jump shots CAN always be counted on by Smoove, our all star wanta be.

This is some of the worst basketball I have ever seen.

[Popeye]

I like how we always want more national tv games every season, but let's be real its not worth it... I feel bad for those neutral fans who want to Watch a good basketball game , but instead they end up watching bench players for most of the game....

[Gray Mule]

It must be nice to KNOW that you have the game the game won by the

end of the 1st. quarter so that you can coast for the rest of the game.

Chicago had an easy time of maintaining their 18 point spread to the half.

The Hawks lack three things today.

1- They can't rebound

2- They can't play defense

3- They can't get their shots to fall

ESPN said, and I agree:

Bulls are faster, stronger and have more energy.

Shooter said, no Marvin, we win. Really? Hah!

[Highpozt2]

Hawks are on National TV and of course they have at half time, not even been competitive. I can understand them not winning some games, but the no resistance play is super irritating for a veteran team. I would suggest a roster change, but I have seen far less talented teams be a lot more competitive. Hawks out hustled at every aspect of the game, as suspected the leadership on the floor is at question.

[HawkItus]

Kind of glad I can't watch this from work. Geez, this is all on Joe though right? Nevermind the other guys.

[Eddielives]

The difference between the Hawks and the Bulls as demonstrated by a particular instance in this game. Bulls are up 21 and have a defensive lapse where Zaza gets an easy dunk. Up by 19 and their coach calls a timeout and is at halfcourt chewing out his players. Larry Drew would just be thinking oh well, we still got this and not in his team's face about it. I despise the lack of passion our team displays from all facets sometimes.

[AJtheGreat]

Pargo actually has us back in the game. Maybe there is still hope.

[Sothron]

Our bench made a comeback but it was too little and too late. Those two missed FTs by TMac to potentially cut it to 4 points was the breaking points. I hope Joe's knee is going to be ok. He barely played in the second half and didn't return. We know he has tendinitis in it already.

[Supporter]

Joe made some tough layups today which was surprising to see. Hopefully he takes a couple of games off and turns back into normal Joe.

[Randy]

What's the story with Joe's knee? I missed the game, but saw a bit at the end where they were talking about it.

[High5]

Can't really expect to win @Chicago without Horford, Marvin, and Joe (basically), but it's disappointing to lose the way we did. Wide open 3's at the worst times, 10-21 from the line, Josh with no conscience, and no structure whatsoever on offense. If we're not hitting 3's things get real ugly.

[benhillboy]

What's the story with Joe's knee? I missed the game, but saw a bit at the end where they were talking about it.

It was one of the lamest moves I've ever seen. The ESPN cameras often focused on Joe and his pathetic look on the bench while the second unit actually got us back in the game. The commentators kept asking each other "when is Joe gonna return?". All of a sudden, the Hawks Media Relations Staff passes along a message that he has knee tendinitis and won't return. GTFOH!!!!! Was it that, or the fact that we were -21 with him on the floor? Unbelievable.

Could it be that Joe's knee has been bothering him for some time (sim. to elbow last year) why he hasn't been effective?
