Hawks Injury Report: None.
Pistons Injury Report: Richard Hamilton is out. Tayshaun Prince and Ben Gordan are doubtful.
Blogging With the Enemy: Motown String Music
Predicted bane of the Hawks existence: Will Bynum, unless the GT trifecta of defeat happens.
Game Preview:
The Pistons traditionally play awful on Sunday afternoons. They probably are without three of their best players. Charlie V. cannot even kind of guard Josh Smith. Joe Johnson should not struggle. Shoot Marvin has no reason to be scared. Nothing short of an easy win is expected. Just a win is perfectly acceptable.
Keys to the game:
- Limit points in the paint. In particular slams by Will Bynum and Jason Maxiell
- Teamish offense.
Go Hawks!

marvin's luck is back
no reason that three should have gone in.
i am totally fine with this being the marvin and josh show. someone just get the memo out to Joe.
can't see the game
What’s the update
by Hawksgirl on Nov 29, 2009 1:29 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I'm not sure how I feel about Josh shooting jump shots even though he's making them.

what's the score
Sounds like jj is still being an oddball
by Hawksgirl on Nov 29, 2009 1:36 PM EST via mobile reply actions
JC's crossover is a thing of beauty.
by dstdeelite on Nov 29, 2009 1:46 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I see Joe has been demoted from shooting technical free throws. Interesting
by dstdeelite on Nov 29, 2009 1:53 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Jamal's passing abilities are something like heaven on earth.
by dstdeelite on Nov 29, 2009 1:56 PM EST via mobile reply actions
the hawks are shooting 50% from the field
40% from three and getting killed. the 12 extra field goals by the pistons is the difference.
got to step up the rebounds.
How about that tear drop...
I’m thinking this is just not our night. You won’t win them all, especially on the road.
Jonas Jerebko is guarding ????
and whoever is the answer to that question needs to be going off on offense.
This is insanity.
We play so well inside all season and now we let the worst front court in the East just do whatever they want.
Jackets lose to the dawgs, Matt Ryan's hurt and the secondary is finding new ways to suck and the Hawks are going owned by the Pistons frontcourt
not a good weekend for my atl teams so far
Why do we not try to go small?
Ben Wallace can’t keep running the floor. Go JJ, Josh, Bibby, Crawford, Horford. And RUN.
i can't tell
but josh smith is either flopping like crazy to the point of injury or getting hammered.
Calm down, Josh. Let Smoove play.

The day that Joe, Jamal, and Marvin all shoot well the same day
Will be the day that Dominique Wilkins understands subject/verb agreement.

We are fouling and underrebounding Detroit to a Detroit victory
This sucks.
The Hawks are going through their “Nets” phase from last year again.

Come on Hawks!!
This is when great teams find a way to win against a mediocre team.
A winning record, that's all I want for the falcons this season.
Playoffs would be nice, but not necessary

I guess that's a good thing,...
cause I’d have felt bad if someone had to shave him entirely.

damn Marvin
I really want to like your game, but you’re making it really hard
Woodson is a terrible coach
No excuse there
by coachkcastellon on Nov 29, 2009 3:00 PM EST up reply actions
God we suck
I can understand a loss to the pistons, but not w/o Hamilton and Gordon
by coachkcastellon on Nov 29, 2009 3:00 PM EST reply actions
Wow
The refs called a foul? I thought they weren’t allowed to do that
This sucks
The Hawks are terrible right now. Management should make a change because this is awful. We have now lost 3 of 4.
This is not gonna cut it.
by coachkcastellon on Nov 29, 2009 3:05 PM EST reply actions
Firing the person whose job is to make sure we are hustling and trying
Fire the man who called a timeout so that a dumb play failed and Al shot an airball.
Woodson has to go. I’m so tired of him being unable to get them to execute a gameplan and hustle. He is terrible at calling timeouts at the right time, terrible at managing player minutes, and he rides Joe to the ground even when Joe needs to be benched because he is ice cold.
That New Orleans game and the Orlando 2nd half were not flukes. This Hawks team is very one-dimensional.

another 3pt attempt leads to detroit easy bucket
if bibby would be the only player allowed to shoot 3 pt shots we would score many more pts
our decision making skills make me wonder. Why would you shoot a jump shot there, Josh?
by dstdeelite on Nov 29, 2009 3:11 PM EST via mobile reply actions
And Jamal Crawford once again goes out of his way to prove...
there’s no such thing as a bad shot that goes in.
JJ did plenty to prepare the fate - no time to bash our best player - Josh
by RivBoatGambler on Nov 29, 2009 3:25 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah Josh was the only reason we exceeded 60 points
Joe is awful, but Woodson wouldn’t dream of giving someone else a chance when he is off
by coachkcastellon on Nov 29, 2009 4:08 PM EST up reply actions
No I'm gonna have to say it was the +30 rebound advantage of the Pistons that sealed our fate.
Josh’s hail mary three pointer at the end didn’t help either. I actualy had a Woody look on my face when he chucked that one up.
