		<description>Would it be to cynical of me to say that a regular 5-10 minutes in November and December sets up a bench player to play a more significant role when a starter is injured? I get that Zaza is just coming back from the flu so his energy might be low, but the Sixers were playing the way we should play with our regular starters.

Run, run, run, as fast as you can, you can&#039;t catch me...I&#039;m an undersized PF/C ;-)

If Al will be out for awhile, I think there should be some tweaking to take advantage of things that these players do well. Maybe some more Solo/Josh tandem if a team drives a lot. More Zaza/Marvin if they just pund the ball inside. It was interesting to see Josh at the 5 for part of this game, but he does not seem committed to working the lane on offense. No way he keeps up with Phoenix or the Clippers at the 5 for more than brief moments against Amare.

Offensively, this might be the time to see if RandMo can truly score against NBA quality big men. Even if his role with the 2nd team is only to be an interior option on offense, it is clearly something we need to look at over the next game or two.

And as trivial curiousity will have it...here&#039;s what I saw about the workings of a breatholizer.
http://www.breathalyzer.net/faq.html#generalbreathalyzerquestions

And if CB won&#039;t get a driver, I suggest getting a room close to the bar for those lucky nights or putting the adult taste in his other passion...food. For example BAM http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/kicked-up-pasta-rags-with-vodka-sauce-recipe/index.html

		<description>I&#039;ve always liked the way Mike Woodson has run this squad. There&#039;s been a consistent level of professionalism- a cohesiveness. 

I&#039;m not seeing it now. It&#039;s time for Woodson to reign these cats in, because I&#039;m starting to think losing Horford could be much harder than losing Smith. At least, today it seemed that way.

The defensive identity is missing, or at least hit-or-miss. The communication is non-existent right now. Woodson has always been good at the whole Indiana hard azz routine. Right now he and his staff need a little Zen Master action, because the balance is off. 

Is ol&#039; Flip worth all of these turnovers?</description>

		<description>This team is done if woody is the coach. He couldn&#039;t motivate a roach to avoid Raid bug spray. This team has gone as far as it&#039;s gonna go with woody. Avery Johnson is the coach we need.</description>

		<description>There goes the game. And with us going West (without Horford, no less)...

The Hawks are just going to have to man-up. That&#039;s all there is to it. The guards can&#039;t hog the ball, they have to get the wings involved early. They played well, but not enough by themselves to get the job done. Marvin and Josh are going to have to scramble, scrabble, hustle, and fight. Or we&#039;re going to lose some more games. In a row.</description>

		<description>And they pull away again. 

I don&#039;t like to give up early, but with the &quot;get close&quot; then &quot;fall behind again&quot; trend, I&#039;d say this game is done. Even though we&#039;re only down by 11. We just don&#039;t have it. Everything is coming from the perimeter. And mostly from two guys...</description>

		<description>Man, I hate it when one of our bigs is out. 

Here we are giving up all kinds of points to a team with no shooters. Gee, it must be the interior defense, eh? How long before we get another big in here? I figure there is two ways to do this: get one that will be a starter, or a vet to come off the bench and enforce things? 

Once again, we are putting all of our faith in the backcourt...and getting outrebounded in the frontcourt. Yuck. Hope we can pull this one out, though. We keep getting close...I don&#039;t want to begin spending the rest of the season this way.</description>

		<description>Speaking of the Spurs--just how do they do it? They are always in the mix of competitive teams. Always a great possibility of winning it all (albeit in odd number years). How does a team sustain that for year after year? 

And why, oh why, can&#039;t the Hawks do it?</description>
