Official Game Thread: Hawks - Lakers

[ersimo2889]

Incredible game by Dennis.. was not hard to see that him and Al were, talent-wise, a level or two above everyone else on the court.

 

With Al scheduled to sit tomorrow, I'm afraid to see what DeMarcus Cousins will do to Pero.

[ATLHawks3]

Glad we won, but sucks we lost Kyle for the next couple of games.

[DatWerkk]

Kyle's streak ends at 51 games too. =(

[Jody23]

Good win! #Umlauty. On to the next one.

[ATLHawks3]

Dennis probably had the best game of his career. We're going to need him big time if we're trying to make a championship push.

[Gray Mule]

Great defense!  Offense was hot and cold.  Missed too many free throws,

I believe 9. 

 

Korver has a broken nose.  He played long enough to break his 3 point

record for this season, as he missed 2.

 

Another middle of the night game tomorrow.

 

[Sothron]

Scott, now Korver...getting a little antsy. We need these guys healthy for the playoffs. Hopefully both will be ok. Go Hawks!

Cousins is going to take his soul, that's exactly what's going to happen. Brand will likely be playing more minutes than he's used to.

 

I'm glad we won...made it way too interesting in the 4th quarter.

 

One other thing, Mack doesn't really run the offense well at PG. He plays iso too much and doesn't look to get his teammates involved as much as Teague and The German Blur do. I can see why Mack barely plays.

Antić doesn't play the second game of back to backs.

Dennis is special. As great as Teague has been, I see Dennis surpassing him in a couple of years. I just love the way he plays, the fearlessness, the swagger, some would say cockiness, but he never gets out of control. He just seems to get better and better each game. And only in his second year!

Hopefully we see more Brand than Pero in the next couple of weeks.  Pero's defense/offensive has seemed pretty poor for quite a while now and Brand looked much better on defense tonight.

these injuries are ridiculous, we basically need to be bubblewrapped until the playoffs start.

Some notes (and things already mentioned):

 

-The ball movement is really impressive to see in person.

-If anybody is slightly iso it's Mack.  He played well this game but definitely stalls the offense and doesn't swing the ball much.

-We airballed way to many 3s.

-Schröder and Horford were definitely a step above everyone else and it showed out there.  Every time Al shoots a midrange shot I felt like it was going in.  Same with a Dennis drive.

-Ugly ball by both teams in the first half.  Tons of missed free throws.

-Wish we would've clamped down and ended this one earlier but good to see Dennis and the team gut it out.

-The Staples Center is a boring experience.  All they did between timeouts was one kiss cam.  Then it was mainly ads and a bunch of crummy Lakers girls dances.  And the Lakers announcer sounds like he's half asleep.  Makes me miss all the Harry the Hawk and countless other skits I saw at Hawks games to get the crowd involved.  Ryan Cameron is a much better and involved announcer.  Too LA for me - "You will like us because it's the cool thing to do."  Not anymore since Kobe is over the hill and the team is losing.......

 

Sure I would've liked to have seen all the starters and a little better shooting but still feels good to experience a part of what has been a magical season so far.  In the end we came, we saw, and we conquered.  On to the next one!

How did this team win in Atlanta just a few months ago?

 

It must be an ego thing for Kobe... He would be better off retiring.

[benhillboy]

I've run out of things to say about this squad. Good road win with Al, Dennis, and scrubs.

As much as I'm a Kyke Stan I don't mind him missing a few games although GS is looming again. It seems when he doesn't play or is limited we hold teams under 90. Let's go.

This is a quite unfortunate typo.

This is a quite unfortunate typo.

I was thinking the same thing. Who is @benhillboy anyway? Danny, that you? Sensitivity training in 3, 2, 1...

Being Danny would be cool right now, but I'm good with me. Damn iPhone, like I havent typed Kyle 1,000 times.
