The offense was good!  51/36/92.  Defense could have been better!

Hawks lack of front court athleticism shows up against a big young athletic team like the Pistons.  A.Thompson is a nice looking young ballplayer. Come on Hawks close it out.

Them boys dominated us in the paint 

[MaceCase]

So where do the Hawks sit in the champion's league table now?

I didn't think they shot well or played well but they executed well. If they played well and shot well, this would have been a 50 point win

Glad to get a vic!!!

We got some bigger fish to fry.    We had some defensive breakdowns that we have to work on.  mainly, they run that baseline score for both halfs.  Somebody has to be aware that they have a backdoor cut with a big.

Nice win but Hawks have figure out defense if they have ambitions beyond a low seed

[Final_quest]

That was too close.  We almost effed around and found out.  

Hated that Burks hit that three to shave off some points at the end.

That was a pretty fun game to watch. Happy for the W. Murray killed it, though it would have been nice if he didn’t NEED to burn so much energy on this game. 

[terrell]

Murray over 50 percent from the field. 30 pts10 assists5 boards and only 2 tos.

But that is not possible with the offensive load he has to carry they say....

How was he able to play defense also?

I heard...  

That a lot of teams are motivated to do well in this tourney because the winner get a monetary prize bigger than winning the chip.   So if you have been paying attention on Tuesdays and Fridays you know that  teams have been putting up their best fight.

I thought total points was the first tie break.

He was iffy at times on defense but made some big plays 

[terrell]

Bogi and Bey the tale of 2 halves

Bogi had his worst half in a looong time, but was unbelievable in the first half.

Bey was not good in the first, but excellent in the second.

Looks like we are in second place and with a chance on friday to put a serious dent in Philli's chances if the Pacers score tonight against them holds.

I messed up. I thought that score was from tonight. It was from Saturday. I am watching the Sixers game right now. Hali got 15 assists and 0 TURNOVERS. WTF!
