Good road win for the Hawks to beat the Celtics. The Celtics were too busy crying about fouls all night they could not focus on winning. The Hawks were so cool.

[...] Still think Horfy isn’ta center? Still think the Hawks can’t play? (Boston.com) The Hawks just beat the Celtics on the parquet of the new Garden. Yes, it was a regular-season game, but it was as significant as a regular-season game can be in November. …Read Original Story: A breakthrough in Boston for the big-time Hawks – Atlanta Journal Constit… [...]

I’ve always dranked the proverbial ” HAWKS KOOL-AID ” …. b/c that’s my team, and I live & die w/ ‘em,
but this kool-aid has something in it (some GIN or VODKA ) I can’t get enough of this…. BEASTLY AL, FOCUSED SMOOVE, DOWNTOWN BIBBY, CLUTCH CRAWFORD, & ” I WANT MO’ MIN TEAGUE ” . I’m watchin’ every game 2 x …… The only other thing better than winning that i’d like to see right now is ….. JJ smilin’ …… Bartender, another glass of that wonderful kool-aid, please !!

When josh smith crossed up that celtics player i almost **** my pants. I had no idea he had that in his arsenal. And then the spin move he used to get the bucket?!?!? Wow Josh smith has really been working on his game. And to think i used to doubt him. This kid is gonna be good for the hawks for years to come

What is all this “superstar” talk. Lebron is showtime, he sells tickets, he has an average jumper, you can’t touch him, and he is an average free throw shooter, what has he won? D-Wade won his with a younger Shaq, the nba pr machine made it, you can’t touch him. If JJ got his calls he would average 30+, Wade shoots about 15 free throws a night. You are a star in this league when you can command a double team everynight, JJ does that. Don’t fall in love with Jamal Crawford too soon, he is a gunner that has been run off of 3 teams already, so be careful. That being said, I like the mix of youth and veterans on this team, as long as Bibby is on the floor they will be ok.

If JJ left this team, all of the players will be one on one players making bad decisions, Al Horford is the only one other than bibby and JJ with a hi b-ball IQ. As long as this team was losing, now you guys want to get rid of the one player that came here (when no one would) and helped build it back up. The guy is a solid citizen and good for the community, be smart and keep that. Bradley, you don’t know anything about b-ball, you crucified billy knight, he missed one or two, but all gm’s do. Let the coaches coach and the players play. Remember all of that darkness, if JJ leaves here, it will be back sooner than you think, ask Phoenix, they’ve been trying to get back to where they were in 04-05 and almost ruined that franchise.

All that dribbling by Joe and not passing out of the double will be the Hawks undoing come playoff time. The Celtics send a big to double because they don’t think Joe can hit the open guy. Part of the reason is the the offense itself. One on one and the other guys just stand around and spot up for the three and no one cutting to basket. That offense will not beat the elite teams in the playoff.

What ought to scare the East elite about the Hawks is that they beat Boston DESPITE missing some easy inside shots. That was the only frustrating aspect of the game last night; we left points off the scoreboard that should’ve gone in. But wow, the bench IS the difference; our 2nd unit could’ve finished the game, the way they were playing in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Jamal Crawfod is VERY clutch.
