Blogging With the Enemy: Fear the Sword

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?
A healthy Zydrunas Ilgauskas dominating the less-healthy Zaza Pachulia and Al Horford

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

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

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

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

'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.
