By the way, does anyone want to guess who is once again leading the team in field goal attempts? Let me just tell you, it’s, once again, Josh Smith. It seems like it’s tough to find a game (unless Josh was in foul trouble or it was a blowout) in which Josh doesn’t lead the team in attempts anymore. Personally, I think that’s a bad thing, but at least Josh has been efficient tonight.

After last night, I was surprised to see them red unis again.
I hope they washed the stink off!

Najeh, you think they gonna’ give Barry Bonds for 15 – 23 months for perjury? I saw CNN polling today: would you go to jail for a friend?
31% Yes
69% Hell No!
LOL! They was referring to Barry’s personal trainer, dude been in jail 2 years. They claimed he grew up w/o a Father and Barry is his Daddy now. Or, he’s gonna get paid like crazy when he get out. I think they gone lock him up to make an example. What do you think?
______________
Sorry, that’s off topic. You can catch me after the game on that one.

Any body got a score prediction. Not much defense tonight.

playing well doesn’t mean you will get consistent minutes or even some minutes under LD. I honestly dont know whats up with him and Teague but Teague has clearly shown he can help. Its baffling that he cant get any minutes. Its almost to the point where you have to just say forget it because it looks like it wont change

“I believe that Al has to be injured or at least hurt right now”
I hope that’s the reason.

Elton John (Brand) is killing the Hawks in this game. Someone needs to put a body on that guy, or he’ll be playing Benny and the Jets on his piano all night long. The Hawks need to stop him or they’ll be forced to face the music.He’s getting ready for an encore in the second half.

Ld is using the last remaining regular season games to try and get Kirk fully integrated and tighten his rotation .

“It seems like it’s tough to find a game (unless Josh was in foul trouble or it was a blowout) in which Josh doesn’t lead the team in attempts anymore. Personally, I think that’s a bad thing, but at least Josh has been efficient tonight.”
If most of the attempts are not jump shots, I don’t think it’s a big deal. 7 of his 10 attempts in this game either came on drives or shots close in.

Can Al not take that thing inside, anymore. He keep passing out to the 3 point line and then complain about outside shots. Thank goodnes Marvin hit that floater.

If this lineup isnt blown-up at seasons end, I will question mgmnt. this tema WILL NOT get it done. If I dogged it as much as they do some nites at my job, I would be unemployed. Keep horford, everyone else….GTFO. trade the bloated contracts and find some players that want to win EVERY nite.

Josh has taken a couple bad jumpers, but he is playing much better tonight. I’ll say it again. He has talent, he just needs to play smart, and stay focused, and cut waaaay down on the jumpers.
Hawks will need to play defense though, because our shots will not continue to go in…

Good time for a run. Sixers close to within 2; Hawks respond with 7 straight. That’s what good teams do more frequently than the Hawks do.

Has Al lost his will to play? What’s going on with him. He seems almost incapable of rebounding the ball these days, and on the offensive end, he’s been invisible. What is going on!?

Smoove has really made an effort to get in the paint today, even on occasions when he may have actually been better off staying outside. I wonder if someone talked to him about that after last night’s game.

I think Ooga-dolla (Iguodala), Hibbits (Hibbert), and Maha-bootay (Mbah a Moute) should all go out to dinner with ‘Nique one of these nights.

Between Meeks and Lou Williams, it looks like the Sixers are trying to build the All-Gwinnett County All Star team.

Drew called in a play! It was two index fingers in a Jesus Cross and then 4 fingers up on his right hand. That’s another play to go with the
