A Top-5 Hawks regular season game from last decade? At least Top-10, I figure.

If i remember right Larry Drew was going with the old "you don't sub in OT" strategy and ran the same 5 guys through 4 OTs?   I could be wrong.

I had to check, but it looks like Jazz coach Ty Corbin went to The Drew School. LD subbed out Kirk with Willie Green (injury? or just strategy?) shortly after the 1st OT went 2-2 (!), then a fouled-out Smoove with Marv which eventually tipped the scales in our favor.

So he Nic Nurse'd it?

As a weird aside, we were watching some stupid early 2000's RomCom which was based in Atlanta.  The guy was like director for the Hawks broadcast or something.  There were clips of a game from the JoeJohn Hawks team which, in the movie, was playing for the 8-seed.  In the movie, Jsmoove won the game with a dunk at the buzzer.

Why were we watching this?  Everything from the early 2000's sucked a**.

Walmart bottom-of-the-bin DVD classic "Life As We Know It" (2010). We were on a run of sappy dramas that pretended Atlanta was Some Other Town, USA, but at least that one showcased Atlanta as Atlanta, at least the cuter parts of it. Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel (who played a tech director for the Hawks) starred in the snoozer. Rotten Tomatoes was not a fan.

It was so bad.

On the flip side, I watched the documentary on East Lake Meadows last night so there's that.  I grew up near there so it really hit home for me.  We always knew never to ride past Little Vietnam.

Ah geez.  Now i realize i've seen it.  Yeah, not good.   Of course when they first started making movies a lot here they were all terrible.  They've gotten better.  

Keeping up with the Jones' is a pretty funny Atlanta set one if you like Zach G.  And if you don't then....we're not friends anymore.
