Blogging With the Enemy: The Dream Shake
The Hawks had a bad night in New Jersey last night. Houston had a worse night in Toronto, losing 94-73 and providing Jonathan Feigen of The Houston Chronicle with a rich vein of first-person content for his game report...
Tracy McGrady:
"(Effort) is something we’re obviously not giving right now. For whatever reason, at both ends of the court — offensively, especially defensively — we’re not executing. We’re missing assignments. It’s all of us.”
Rick Adelman:
"In this league, you have to find a way to get yourself out of that. Either come together as a group or you don’t. We have to decide on how we want to play. It’s one thing to get beat. It’s another thing to just be outworked, and I thought we got outworked.”
Yao Ming:
"Coach said in the locker room, in this league it’s easy to keep chemistry when everything is going right. Right now, we know we played games at home … just like tonight. We need to fight together."
Rafer Alston, asked if his team is on the same page:
"Not one bit. This is embarrassing. Again. We had this happen the other night in Houston. We had it tonight. It’s sad, and it’s unfortunate.”
The loser of tonight's game will officially be deemed to be in a funk.

Late note
Remember the wrap Marvin Williams had on his right shoulder last night? He’ll miss tonight’s game and will have an MRI on that shoulder on Monday.
Home sick, no TV broadvast
and tonight’s the night Josh Smith forgoes the jumper to attack the basket and Acie Law IV is playing. Figures.
granted i have not heard or seen any of this game
but the stat sheet is making very jealous that I am not at the arena.
i offically do not like my job
bibby for three for the win. and i am at home watching the gamecast on espn
i hope something good was on sports south tonight.
Either I've OD'd on Tylenol
or Yahoo’s play-by-play had Alston making a layup to go up 102-100 for a while.
Not sure what to think
22-11…
but a three-point last-second home win over a Houston team that had Artest, McGrady, and Battier out with injuries?
