Lorenzen Wright says lots of nice things about the Hawks but comes off as a rather unreliable narrator.

My worries tonight...

LeBron James
Who will attempt and fail to guard Mo Williams?

Tonight's game thread will be partially informed by

Kona Brewing Co.’s Pipeline Porter

After watching the last two games, I decided I deserved some nice beer for the weekend.

I was worried about Mo Williams

but the Hawks can’t even keep Delonte West out of the lane.

by Hoopinion on Nov 22, 2008 7:53 PM EST reply actions

Apparently, I was misinformed

about Wally Szczerbiak being out. Since he’s playing.

by Hoopinion on Nov 22, 2008 7:54 PM EST reply actions

An odd possession

1) Szczerbiak gets an offensive rebound
2)LeBron is obviously fouled but foul is not called.

by Hoopinion on Nov 22, 2008 7:57 PM EST reply actions

Followed by a normal possession

1) Flip Murray dribbles until he misses a shot

I believe that's another

-4 in 2:15 for the Murray/Law backcourt tandem.

by Hoopinion on Nov 22, 2008 8:06 PM EST reply actions

-7 in 4:57

'Nique just suggested the Hawks bring in Randolph Morris

to provide some scoring around the basket.

I’m not kidding.

by Hoopinion on Nov 22, 2008 8:13 PM EST reply actions

My early pleasure with 'Nique the broadcaster is rapidly disappearing

by Hoopinion on Nov 22, 2008 8:14 PM EST up reply actions

'Nique also thinks that

Solomon Jones can guard Ilguaskas 1-on-1 in the post

by Hoopinion on Nov 22, 2008 8:32 PM EST up reply actions

Putting the Jamal Crawford is a "great young point guard" comment in context,

‘Nique can’t understand why the Oklahoms City Thunder “with all the talent they have” are 1-12.

by Hoopinion on Nov 22, 2008 9:12 PM EST up reply actions

At ~6:00 2nd quarter

Bibby: 3-5
rest of team: 3-21

by Hoopinion on Nov 22, 2008 8:19 PM EST reply actions

Solomon Jones has taken jump shots on consecutive possessions

by Hoopinion on Nov 22, 2008 8:21 PM EST reply actions

When was the last time LeBron

had two terrible calls go against him in Cleveland?

by Hoopinion on Nov 22, 2008 8:32 PM EST reply actions

This is rapidly turning into a night

where Woodson should put in Flip Murray and let him get a lot of shots out of his system.

by Hoopinion on Nov 22, 2008 8:59 PM EST reply actions

Mario West is in with 2:19 left in the third

this live blog-esque effort is over.

LOL

though Johnson couldn’t find way to score, Acie and Mo Evans had a big night. Acie also made some foul calls, I’d like to see what Hunter can provide for the team before Josh returns.
