Hawks Injury Report: None.
76ers Injury Report: Louis Williams is out with a broken jaw.
Blogging With the Enemy: Liberty Ballers
Predicted bane of the Hawks existence: Thaddeus Young, let the weekend of Georgia Tech pain begin.
Game Preview:
One could argue the Hawks have the advantage at every position. Will they pout? Will they be focused? Will they execute or simply try and out skill? Will they put 48 minutes of effort in tonight? I hope so. I certainly hope so. The Hawks need this win and they should get it. It won't just be three losses in a row, it will be three losses by the old Hawks and it only takes so many of those before they just become them.
Jeff Teague will not be a difference maker in this game, but with Mike Bibby not practicing all week and now playing the second of a back to back, I hope we see more than a four minute stint from the rookie. Royal Ivey and Jrue Holiday may get the best of Jeff tonight, but if they win the game for the Sixers, that will be a team problem and not a Teague problem. The Hawks need a back up point guard tonight. Lets use the one we have.
Keys to the game:
1. Play like they did in the first half of last night's game.
2. Don't play like they did in the second half of last night's game.
Go Hawks!

We need this one.
I have Sixers pre-game on and they think the Hawks are ripe for a beating. I wanted to go to this game and had to work all day. Sucks.
I'm ready for this game
It should be a showdown. forget last night focus on tonight

Huge shot. only at home court

teague
Gettin some quality minutes

Classic Zaza
I wonder if anyone ever criticizes Joe for his sticky hands
josh doesn't understand
The concept of kicking the ball out
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 8:19 PM EST via mobile reply actions
maybe
I have the scary suspicion that the Hawks don’t know why there offense can turn so stagnant so quickly?
And when is the last time we have heard someone say we are missing a lot of open shots or that we are getting a lot of open shots?
do you mean this game or last game?
This game we haven’t had lots of missed open shots or open shots at all just lots of ball movement and hot handed bibby
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 8:26 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
alter ego
smooth needs to pick josh or smooth because he has spurts of both so much its hard to call
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 8:28 PM EST via mobile reply actions
BIBBY makes great passes
Why couldn’t marv handle it
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 8:31 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Bibby was a little too unselfish
which one doesn’t say too often about a hawk
good start hawks
Lets keep it going
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 8:34 PM EST via mobile reply actions
they played with "togetherness"
Everyone was into it and seemed ready. not great but good…how we could have buried them but……..hey I will take a good start
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 8:41 PM EST via mobile reply actions
sixers blocking everything in sight
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 9:06 PM EST via mobile reply actions
so
BIBBY scores big jj doesn’t, its a conspiracy! lol……….bt 4th quarter is jjs speciality can’t forget
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 9:10 PM EST via mobile reply actions

Is he doin this purposely
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 9:11 PM EST via mobile reply actions
nique said
Coast to coast took off from the “dot” that’s so funny to me. which dot?
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 9:13 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Joe seems pretty much disinterested
by dstdeelite on Nov 27, 2009 9:22 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Jamal is playing pretty good defense
by dstdeelite on Nov 27, 2009 9:26 PM EST via mobile reply actions
jj does seem........weird
Foul trouble early(not heard of from him) four points in first half(because of foul) and he just seems disinterested in the team were playing
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 9:26 PM EST via mobile reply actions
marv is reappearring and disappearing...............
I wonder what isolation Marvin would look like
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 9:29 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Having your heels on the 3 pt line is a worse shot than a 3pter
but at least he made it
maybe
Its just not jjs night and the hawks seems fine so I’m not that worried
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 9:35 PM EST via mobile reply actions
josh disappeared in the corner when he made that basket on the last possession
Please smoove, talk to josh.
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 9:38 PM EST via mobile reply actions
crawford
6th man Of the year I mean
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 9:42 PM EST via mobile reply actions
good question
Jj doesn’t usually get 5 foul……….weird
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 9:45 PM EST via mobile reply actions
This game was won in spite of Joe's efforts to lose it.
I hate that I had to type that, but that’s what it seemed like.
can't argue with you on that
Although he is my favorite player
by Hawksgirl on Nov 27, 2009 9:49 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

All about business tonight. another anyone in the books

Sixers post-game
They love Crawford. Their nickname for him: The Electrician. Because he can light it up fast.
Thanks for the update
I love when we have both aspects of the game….our homers and theirs
by dstdeelite on Nov 27, 2009 9:56 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
They're lamenting how bad the Sixers are right now.
They said they know they are missing a couple of guys but they way they are playing is inexcuseable. Sixers have a murderous schedule coming up. At San Antonio, at Dallas, at OKC, at Charlotte. They could lose 9 in a row.
But they are impressed with the Hawks. 60% of Sixer fans think the Hawks are as good as their record according to their text poll during the game.
Thanks for the info Duff
The sports world want the Hawks to be a fluke….if no why even ask a question like that?
I agree...how ludicrous.
I think they should have taken a poll as to whether the Sixers are as good as their record. (I say yes.)
Much better ball movement from the Hawks tonight, though I missed the first half…except for JJ, of course, who when in continued his over-dribbling, ball-hogging ways. Those who didn’t want re-sign Bibby—he earned his cash tonight, didn’t he? His early threes opened up things for everyone else, and he still has very good court vision and gets everyone involved.
