Official Game Thread: Hawks - Nuggets

Just turned on the game. What happened?

not much from the guys in navy

[benhillboy]

Well it appears that we are bothered by the altitude. Or we are downplaying Nuggs, or we got absolutely stoned off marijuana earlier today. It's legal in Denver don't worry.

Yeah, that dispensary grade is much more potent than the run-of-the-mill Kush found at McDaniel and Northside.

Refs have been terrible. I am at center court behind the benches.

[Ruckus]

Crazy how the entire team gets hot and cold together. Last game couldn't miss and tonight can't make anything. Gallinari looks like damn Larry Bird. Teams are gunning for us. If we just make our shots we are back in this.

Oh I was looking behind Nuggs bench this whole time.

[Alex]

I am really glad I didn't pay for this.

Man some bad basketball tonight .... Both d and offense ... Seems like we got very ISO tonight and the energy and effort Is not there either. Had to turn it off

[jrok23]

Man the Hawks this year have done something I didn't want to see and that is when they lose they lose big. It really ticks me off how this happens.

[Guest]

In the wise words of @Jody23

On to the next one...

[Jody23]

I will second @Spud2Nique. Indeed, on to the next one folks.

[benhillboy]

I can't turn it off, I ride with The Group. I'm interested to see how they play it out, hopefully Jarrell Eddie gets in.

Hopefully Bud and the staff does something to light a fire like when they started 5-5. Being down 30 is much more common than it used to be with everyone and their mother (and Jameer Nelson) having the green light from 26 feet, but it ain't acceptable no more for a squad with Finals aspirations. I'm 10x more worried about our three point defense than rebounding. Let's Go anyway.

Jarrell Eddie is inactive.

AGAIN, i dont like the imbalance of the hawks. we are a PURE jumpshooting team. we have no rim protectors. if the shots dont fall, we get into trouble. pero has GOT to go next year. no ifs, ands, or buts. thats the start of correcting our imbalance. our bigs should be able to stretch the floor AND play in the paint when our shots are not falling......

[Jody23]

Looks like Dennis turned his ankle. Ugh.

[DrReality]

Altitude sickness

[benhillboy]

Love how them boys fought back even if the end of their bench was Hickson and The Pips. Cmon Pero.

[LamarHampton]

Sometimes the wheels just fall off. Damn.

Only 2 good things from this game:

1. Kyle has got his shot back

2. Team went 25-27 from the freethrow line.

That's all I've got.

Best way to describe tonight's game..

 

 

but seriously, give bench a lot of credit! they played harder than the starters, they showed that they really care more, and cut the lead to 10 in the 4th quarter. Starters taking it for granted, think they playing against a scrub team, and it's going to be an easy win. They need to start respecting every opponent the same, and always compete hard every game, no matter whoever they are facing against on the court.

 

i know Hawks will learn from tonight's lost, and make a bounceback on the next game.

Second game in a row with no defense from Atlanta.  Hawks won the home game

by setting records with the offense.

 

Hawks can't win in Denver.  How many is this in a row that Atlanta has lost in Denver?

 

That was some come back late.  Too bad we were so far behind we couldn't catch up.

Korver had a very good game from deep, hitting 5 of 7 shots!

 

No defense!  No defense!  No defense!

 

Sleepwalking defense will not work anywhere!
