If the players union allows Stern to get away with changing rules and loopholes on the fly, then they deserve to have their pay cut in half, their contracts turned into non-guaranteed salaries and everything else that the owners stick to them. Billy Hunter better not roll over on this one… not so close to the actual CBA negotiations.

Was really rooting for Cavs to beat Magic today, but glad to see that Celts DID lose. Hawks have to beat GS to stay in contention.

If the Cavs can take advantage of a loophole in the rules that allow them to resign Big Z, then Stern has no business stopping it.

Why are the Hawks constantly doiong this one on one bull crap? They need to post Hortford and J Smith up and work off of that. They are making themselves easy to defend with this crap. Woodson not being resigned is a clear indication that he will be shown the door if they cant get to the Eastern Finals this year or have a better shoeing in the second round.

Thanks bigdave.

Mike Bibby went 1-8 against Phoenix. And tonight, he is 1-6. I’m sure Teague can go 1-8 and 1-6 as good as Bibby can.

If you’re the Hawks, we’ve shown that we can compete with Cleveland, but so far we haven’t done a good job against Orlando. Maybe we would be better off playing Cleveland in the second round of the playoffs.

I wouldn’t say beating the Warriors would establish us as a contender. The same holds true if we were to lose to the Warriors and us being pretenders.

However, what you can take away from this is that once again, the Hawks offensive attack stagnated. How do you go from a 4th quarter blowout to a grinder? We didn’t take good shots, which led to transition ball that the Warriors love to play.

We pounded the ball inside in the third quarter, and scored 38 pts. But now in the 4th, we’re going away from that. Why? Even Tim Legler pointed out how the Hawks have gone away from whats working, settling for more jumpers.

And I would like to hear Woody come out and say he cares about the offense too, because sometimes, our defense just isnt there.

And Bibby is 1-6 in 26 minutes with 3 pts and 4 assists. Teague is 1-3 in 10 minutes, with 4 assists.

I’ve been slow to get on the “Fire Woody” train, but after tonight I just don’t think I can justify saying he should keep his job any longer. How many times this year have the Hawks gone stone cold in the fourth quarter? It’s happened twice in the last two games, and it happened in critical home games earlier this year against the Magic and Cavs. Couple that with all the inexcusable losses and playing down to the competition and I just am out of patience with this head coach.

The Hawks are too talented to be this inconsistent.

They needed the lesson more than they needed the win, and the lesson is this, a basketball game is composed of four quarters. The Hawks built the lead and they threw it into cruise control. They lost the momentum, they lost the game. I hope they get that formula figured out by the time the playoffs roll around because if they don’t, they’re not going to have to worry about Boston, Cleveland, or Orlando. Second, they can forget the Southeast Division. They’re not that far out, but it may as well be a distance of a thousand miles. They’re not ready. But as Orlando is inaugurated, again, as the Southeastern Division regular season champions, the Hawks need only think back to nights like tonight against teams like Golden State, New York, Chicago, Charlotte, Miami, teams that the Hawks are head and shoulders better than, but they simply couldn’t get it done. Orlando won’t win the division, Atlanta’s handed it over on a silver platter.

Tonight the refereeing was awful: Crawford was fouled on the lose ball and they called out of bounds, JJ was fouled in his last drive to the hoop, … the list goes on and on.

Nonetheless, there were serious flaws in our game since the tip off. Why did we stopped going to Al and started shooting jump shots?? Why was Josh being fed with so many balls when he was struggling offensively in the 4th??

Since Curry was scoring at will against everyone and JT0 was not getting burned more than the others, why did he have to come out? He had 4 dimes with pretty good passes in transition and a very good steal. Bibby was again 1-6. What did he bring to the table in comparison? Why have him on the floor during the last stretch instead of Marvin when we being over-matched athletically?

And, we were burned again by the opponents bench, including 12 points by a rookie C coming in from the NBDL!!!!

When the Warriors started to play with 2 Centers at the same time we did not adjust and started to lose the interior battle against a bunch of scrubs. Why did Woody keep Joe Smith nailed to the bench after his good showing two days ago?

To all the Woodson defenders, I’ve never seen a performance like this against a Phil Jackson, Pat Riley or Chuck Daly coached team. Hell, even an Mike Fratello coached team rarely had a meltdown this pitiful. This team fell apart because we have a coach that has no control and no offensive structure. They look like an AAU team freestyling most of the time and tonight they got OUT-freestyled by a much quicker team.

In your rush to spread blame, blame that I believe the entire team deserves (with the possible exception of Al Horford), don’t take anything away from the Warriors. They played three and a half good quarters of ball. If we get half that out of our team, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. And truthspitter, you’re being a little hard aren’t you? Zaza and Marvin will have to redeem themselves, but I don’t blame anyone but Woodson for what’s happened to Teague (who in all honesty did show flashes in transition tonight). You see all over the NBA what can happen when rookies get the chance to play, Teague hasn’t had that chance, so he’s still very much a rookie, and barring injury, heaven forbid, I don’t see any meaningful pt in his immediate future…

One more thing, Woody has to take some of the blame for what happened tonight, and he will, but Woody wasn’t out there not converting on mismatches, Woody wasn’t out there not cutting off the lane after their little spec of a point guard went down it again and again. Woody didn’t get T’d up with 34 seconds left to go in the tied game. Woody didn’t pass the ball to the person on the floor least likely to make the shot. Now, he left his reserves in too long in the 4rth quarter, and the Hawks paid for that, but let’s be clear, the players simply didn’t get it done on EITHER end of the floor in the fourth quarter. It was the Cleveland game all over again, minus the cheating at the end. I’m not saying that Woody is clean, they’re all dirty.

My first question is why didn’t Joe Smith play?
My second question is, “Where is the mental toughness”?

I’m not really worried about the loss and I’m not especially angry about the game. I watched the Wizards beat a Denver team that’s beaten Cleveland and Boston in the last few days. I think this is the kind of loss that they can really from, especially the coach. Horford was dominating the game but they stopped getting him the ball during the beginning of the 4th. The execution and body movement basically stopped too. Unless Joe Smith was hurt Woody should have known that he could play center against the Warriors and would have been just as effective as Zaza. (I really think Zaza is hurt) These kind of games happen, but I hope the lessons are learned.

GO HAWKS!!

This ISO Joe madness must end!! Everyone is just standing around and watching. No one sets a pick, no one cuts to the basket. How could Jamal get a technical foul with a tie game and the Hawks with the ball? Are you kidding me? And how many times did Joe get ripped by Monte Ellis?

From now on, if the Hawks are down by 3 at the end, take Josh Smith out of the game! There is nothing for him to do except what he just did.

The Hawks are NOT going to be fine in the playoffs. This team has some serious flaws and there is very little, if any, coaching being done. If they go in as a 4 seed, it’s going to be anybody’s series with that 5 seed. And, if they are lucky enough to get through that, they won’t win more than a game or two in the 2nd round. Same as last year, at best, is not what anybody in the Hawks organization was looking for this year after keeping the team together and adding Crawford and Teague.

The Bird and the Indian put that crackpipe down. The Hawks are not one of the best teams in the league.

Tonight’s loss is an unfortunate indication that these Hawks do not have what it takes to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals. They won’t. A contending team does NOT blow an 17-point lead after three and LOSE THE DAMN GAME. That was pathetic and proof this team loses focus during games. That is Mike Woodson’s fault. He is not instilling the killer instinct this team had earlier in the season. Hawks make a lot of us believe in them but it is obviously a mirage. Orlando and Cleveland own them today and will own them later. Even Charlotte plays with more focus. Sad.

Truthspitter:

Why should those 3 be shot?
They were not in the majority of the comeback.
Teaguer played his best in a month.
Zaza got fouled @ least twice ev ery time he touched it. Did he shoot any FT’s ?
Marv didn’t play great, neither was he the goat.

When we were up 18…how much had our lead been reduced before Wdswn called a TO.

Did we ever run a set play during GS comeback.

Who was guarding Curry when we built uup our lead? Teague???

JustChillFans, are you serious dude? Do you think all this teams problems, most of which have been the same for the last six years, are going to magically go away in the playoffs? I hope they do, hell, I hope the go away starting the next game with Utah, but reality doesn’t suggest as much. This team has improved, but they still haven’t really turned that corner and they won’t until Woodson is shown the door. It’s not the losses that frustrate us, it’s the way these guys are losing (i.e. lack of effort, no offensive gameplan, too much freestyle and Iso, etc.). This is what has the fans in an uproar, that they are losing the same way every single time and have been since Woodson has been here. The big men still put the ball on the floor too much in the post and Woodson hasn’t fixed that. The offense is too predictable and Woodson hasn’t fixed that. This team has too much talent to keep settling for the same old crap over and over again.

Y’all are funny! Seriously, go back and read the posts… quite entertaining.

Time and situation. 350+ NBA games and you don’t understand time and situation. I wonder if our coach ever took the time to teach time and situation. Probably not (right).

Thank goodness that Teague had a nice run against the league’s worse defensive team.

Horford is this team’s MVP. Dude goes to the bench (and Zaza plays next to Josh) and the offense goes into the toilet. Smith throws the same passes to Zaza that he throws to Al. Maybe Woody might want to explain that Zaza’s hands aren’t like Al’s hands, because obviously Josh hasn’t noticed that in the past 3 seasons.

All of those free throw misses came back to haunt the Hawks, huh? 2-7. Putrid.

Be careful what you ask for, because sometimes, you get a last second shot off the hands of the last person you’d want taking a 3-pointer with enough time for at least one if not two more passes. But hey, when you pass it to him, the assumption is that you want him to shoot, right? That’s why he took those long distance bombs all of these years… because his teammates set him up for failure. He’s just trying to be a good teammate and “make something happen”. Or better yet, get the guy who passed him the ball an assist.

350+ NBA games and still struggling with time and situation. Geez, maybe we need a high school coach to take over the team… as long as it’s not the coach from McEachern… because they don’t do much teaching there (or Oak Hill Academy).

So since Teague played so well against the league’s worse defensive team, surely he has earned a shot at Deron Williams, right?

Discipline, we still lack discipline and still lack that on-floor leader who can gain control of his teammates. Bibby has lost his confidence and his leadership position with the team. Al hasn;t yet stepped up to bark at guys on the floor. Joe may be getting ready to explode (finally he yelled at a ref, good for Joe). But let’s face it, most teams fall into the trap of playing Nellie ball because it is the desired way for individual players to play. And after the big 3rd quarter lead (playing Woody ball), the Hawks went right back to the playground and got schooled. Lack of discipline. Yeah, definitely a coaching issue but the coach can;t be the only voice who preaches discipline. There isn;t another elite team that doesn’t have an alpha male to shake up teammates at the appropriate time… just us. The reason we need Bibby to get back is not just because we need his 12 points/game, but because we need the swagger and leadership that he alone is capable of bringing. Woody must play him because we’re not winning without Bibby’s ability to calm this team and put guys in the right place on offense. But right now, he’s lost and the team is suffering. And no, Teague ain’t capable of leading this team anyplace good (not yet).

Sund doesn’t need Woody to fail before he fires him… just ask the coaches that have had back to back 50 win seasons, and been fired. Or the coaches that have won Coach of the Year one year and fired shortly later. If the coach is not the right fit, he needs to be fired. Woody hasn’t done any of those things and he still sticks around. Keeping Woody is an owner’s issue – there’s no desire to take this organization to the next level.

Yet another game this team has thrown away due to lack of focus and intensity in the fourth quarter. This team really irritates me at times with their Jeckyll/Hyde play during games and Woody continues to not adjust to what the other team is doing. These next 20+ games are crucial to our future playoff positioning and if we continue with performances like the one tonight then we may find ourselves being sent home in the first round.

Its easy to get angry after this game. I was thinking about what makes a championship calibre team in the NBA. The formula has been set and has been the same for most of the history of the NBA. First you need a superstar go to guy for the when the game is tight in the playoffs at the end of the game. Second you need a super side kick that would be a go to guy if he weren’t on the team with the real superstar. Third you need another great player that fits perfectly into the system. Fourth you need a great bench player that can score when the team rests the first three guys. Fifth you need a coach that knows how all of these guys fit together and doesn’t stifle their abilities.

Dynasties include a couple of superstars who aren’t selfish or the greatest player of all time.

In any event the Hawks don’t have any of these characteristics except a bench scorer in Jamal Crawford. Joe Johnson is not a Superstar. He would fit into the second guy category but he has been spoiled into thinking he is the only option at the end of the game by the coach. And on this team he may be. Who else other than Crawford do you trust to make shots in crunch time.

I think it would be interesting to see the Hawks go for D Wade and let Joe go. They still need a true center and I don’t know if there is one that would work but I say this team will frustrate in its current make up. No way they get out of the second round of the playoffs regardless of who they play. They actually could lose in the first round if they meet an up an coming team in round one. As it stands, they are not a championship calibre team and quite frankly they are probably poorly coached but even with better coaching they are short on late game ability to go very far.

Mike Bibby is done. He has been terrible since around November. Its about to be March. Teague showed more in 10 minutes than Bibby showed in 30. Once again will one of these Bibby supporters explain to me what Teague cant do with Bibby’s minutes because it ain’t much. I’m sure the kid can go 1-7 5 dimes and a few turnovers. Its time to stop making up silly excuses about him playing can cost us wins because Bibby sure isn’t showing us anything out there…. Marvin is the invisible man. Ive never seen a guy who had less impact on a game than this cat. He might score 5 points early and another 5 when the game is pretty much decided. Pachulia has been terrible this year. Mo has been so bad Woodrow went with the non talented Mario over him tonight. If this team keeps it up I wouldn’t be shocked if they fell to the 5th seed. Even if the Hawks make it to the second round they will not be there long. Woodson has done all he can for this team. Its time to start looking for a replacement for next year.

I thought that it could get no worse for Mike Bibby than in the Phoenix game when the dude threw that bounce pass through Bibby’s legs for the assist on a jam. Looks like I was wrong. I really hope he can get it together because Woody is going to sink or swim with his veteran point guard.

I put this lost squarely on the feet of Josh & Woody. Josh reverted to Josh of old in the 4th quarter. He had multiple turn overs & bad shot selection. No way he should have taken that 3 attempt with time left on the clock. Woody could not get us anything to break the momentum of GS; he could not even get us an ISO Joe.

This team was undersized & undermanned. We beat them up in the paint in the 3rd; can’t explain what happened in the 4th. Maybe we got rope-a-doped.

Of course, we all should have known this could happen, as this was a nationally telecast game. We always go for maximum embarassment. Out superstar will get jobbed by the marque player on the other team, a rookie Step Curry. Josh will seek the spotlight in crunch time and Marvin will totally disappear. Also, Woody would limit his bench after saying he learned his lesson from the Phoenix game.

I say we should finish 5th instead of 4th. The benefit is we will still get the same 1 round matchup. We will get a higher draft pick. Finishing 5th means Woody MAY NOT be retained. Teague confidence & career could possibly be salvaged before he goes the way of AC Law, Salim, etc. JJ will leave in free agency.

Downside we will be stuck with Marvin, ZaZa, & Bibby thanks to the good work done my Sund this past off season. Maybe Belkin will sell his 30% stake by refusing pay his share of expenses over the last 4 years.

I say we should be more concern with the teams behind us in 5th place as they could easily be in 4th. We should hope we don’t drop to 6th, because then we get Orlando, Boston, or Cleveland in the 1st round.

This gloom & doom is based on the play this team. I don’t know if they are the 4th best team in the East or the worst 4th seed team in the East???????????????

Taylor : There’s not a great chance for Childress coming back. If he continues to grow his fame in Europe, I don’t know if he’s going to come back. He’s making great money in a great country and probably has people kissing his feet. Even if he does come back, there’s not a great chance it will be with us. I see him going to an elite team like Cavs and becoming a valuable role player. I really wish he would come back though. He was one of my favorite players here and boy oh boy would he be a great piece to fit in right now. No more of Mo Evans ugly jump shot.

To Just Chill and others who can’t understand why some of us are ticked……We ARE true Hawk fans….We really are…..and we want these guys to succeed. But you cannot lose an almost 20-point lead LIKE THAT and still have respect. The LIKE THAT involves the record of the other team, the complete turnaround in the last two quarters, the seeming lack of will and brains, absence of hustle and pride, losing the ball, failure to finish shots, no defense….I can’t even write this down, but the overall feeling I have is overwhelmingly BAD right now and this nightmare comes from watching a potentially great team go to pieces and by going to pieces I mean just turn into totally dysfunctional clowns in a totally embarrassing way. I mean you can lose….but not LIKE THAT!.

This is really not the time to sit back and think, “You can’t win them all, we’ll do better tomorrow, stop sweating it,” Based on this game, I see Joe Johnson gone and the fans GONE and Josh and Jamal and Al all GONE. I see the entire team moving soon. It stems from this feeling that there is something horribly dysfunctional and sick about the Hawks’ very soul, and tonight it was laid bare for everyone to see. It doesn’t matter they can jump and shoot and rebound and block shots and go 15 minutes without a turnover, score 35 points a quarter….it doesn’t matter….

The one thing that would keep my interest alive at this point is if the Hawks actually did something that showed they had any brains at all…

FIRE WOODSON TONIGHT. (And no, they ain’t hiring Fratello….).

Now, where’s Sund’s address……

Question: did you see Crawford go flying when he got a two-handed shove just before his technical ? I did. How come nobody else did?

Comment…Hawks will beat Utah easily, just to drive us even more crazy. But I’m ready for this….I quit. After 50 years, NO MORE Hawks fan. Bye.

ASTRO JOE-Your act is getting old. In your futile attempts to make excuses for Bibby and Woody, you only succeed in making yourself look dumber than you really are. Your beloved MBibby played 29 useless mins and scored THREE(3)whole pts on 1-6 shooting. This was by far one of his worst gms, if not his worst, yet all you can do is try and discredit Teagues good performance by claiming it was because we were playing the NBA’s worst DEF team.

Like I said in a previous post, YOU’RE JUST AS CLUELESS AS WOODSON, AND YOUR DILUSIONAL ATTITUDE AND THOUGHT PROCESS IS JUST LIKE HIS. You need to take a serious look at this unnatural MAN LOVE you seem to have for Bibby and Woodson.

GA Bulldawg, I agree with you that fan loyalty is important. And to that end, I can’t stand any of those teams you mentioned. But at the same time, you have to respect them for putting a consistent winning product on the floor, field, etc. If the Hawks were losing a game here or there due to other teams playing better or just not getting some breaks, that would be understandable. It is just this one regular season game, it’s the fact that they have made the same mistakes for the last six years and no one seems to be able to correct it. If they were a team of mediocre talent but trying their best, you applaud them for their heart and gutsy play (much like for the Falcons this year). But this team has elite level talent and consistently under-achieves and finds ways to beat themselves resulting in the current frustration of the fan base. Anyone watching can see this team has cost themselves about 3-5 wins this year, the coach at least another 5-7. I will always be a Hawks fan, have been since the days of Tree Rollins and Doc Rivers (yes he was the Hawks point guard before he was the Celtics’ coach ) but I would like to see my and every other true fans loyalty rewarded with some consistently good basketball or at the very least some heart, guts and will. Let the other teams beat them, not the coach or players.

Sam i feel ur pain but didnt the lakers blow a 20 point lead to the cetics that year the celtics won the ship? Even the best teams blow leads and find ways to come back if they are down big. Y is nobody praising that we were actually up 18 on a team that plays great at home, instead everybody wants to bash them for blowing the lead.. Im a true fan too, i know were not going to win the ship this year so thats why im not totally upset with the hawks.. U guys honestly think we are going to win the ship?? No, so y be so bashful, just get behind the team if ur a true fan, if ur not go to the nets blog or something..
