Hawks Injury Report: Joe Smith is out.
Nets Injury Report: Jarvis Hayes (go dawgs!), Eduardo Najera, and Yi Jianlian are out. So are the 5,000 Chinese ticket buyers that would be at this game if Yi was healthy. Tony Battie, Keyon Dooling, and Bobby Simmons are questionable. Chris Douglas-Roberts and Devin Harris are probable. Basically, the Nets may or may not be playing today.

Predicted bane of the Hawks existence: Devin Harris
Game Preview:
No one wants their week ruined on Sunday. Just win.
Go Hawks!
Comment of the Toronto game thread goes to Hans Moleman with this video and this one. Credit will be given to Duff_Man, Erihury, Mr. Sanchez, and Bradelyjah.
Comment of the Chicago game thread goes to Erihury. Discusing Mario's (West) absence from the go-kart track with Joe Johnson, he said "Joe took him out with the blue turtle shell."
Comment of the Dallas game thread goes to Bronn, with "Joe Smith is still younger than me, but he's catching up."
Comment of the New York game thread goes to Hawksgirl and Dstdeelite with "If Bibby says it is a steal, it is a steal" "Because he is the knower of all things basketball."
See you in the comments this afternoon.

today and Wed.
could be our best opportunities to see Jandolph/happy meal/victory cigar/GTM for a while
this one isn't exactly a "must win"...
as it is a “how can you possibly lose”.
Prediction for player of the game: Othello Hunter
Also, if Jeff Teague doesn’t get 20+ minutes, with Harris’ speed and the Nets’ overall craptasticness, the fire Woody crowd will return from the woodwork.
thank god
NJ got a win already i didn’t want us to be the first game they win if we lose cuz we lose very winnable for some reason
before that win
they were my second fav. team. if they came into this game 0-23, I would have been scared out of my mind.
sometimes...
but with their injuries, this shouldn’t even be close. Our bench could beat this team by 20.
Ugh
Just watched the end of the Falcons game. What a bummer. It will take almost all the joy out of demolishing New Jersey.
I admit..
I wanted Yi over Horford… Okay.. I’m going to go back to my anime where the chinese spit energy balls from their mouth and can fly…
even though it does not really fit their style
“the situation” should have been a nickname option for Randolph and Collins.
woody is known as snookie
Wow. that is kinda weird. but will be tuning in late because I’m shopping today……………how but should be an easy one

Is the crowd noise during the opponent free throw a soundtrack?
by dstdeelite on Dec 13, 2009 5:17 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Moe should have lobbed that to Horf

NJ broadcast just showed the "crowd"
…ATL “fans” are truly pathetic. What do the Hawks have to do get people to show up? It’s embarrassing.
shot selection i meant.
i would rather you kick out to joe for an open three than shoot from ft line without setting your feet.
Actually that was a pretty fundamentally sound fast break.
Lead guy stops at the foul line. You can pass or shoot. I had no problem with that shot.
i love how guards get certain calls on contact (harris there)
and centers can get killed (horford two possessions ago) and get no call.
It'sa case of
Horford can’t guard two guys…someone has to guard Simmons…Bibby can’t do it…Teague can’t do it…Crawford can’t do it…
Bobby Simmon's is like the 4th best player at best on the Nets team
Why would you want him?

Underrated aspect of visiting feeds:
They ALWAYS cut to a shot of Nique and talk about his career and show highlights.
define sick for marv
Flu sick migrant sick or hangover sick?

Who's in charge of the new music at the arena? It's awful. Why wouldn't the just play the real version of "Jump" instead of the keyboard version?
by dstdeelite on Dec 13, 2009 5:50 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Because it's the ATL.
Frontrunning is how we roll.
why play good music for a wacky crowd?
by Hawksgirl on Dec 13, 2009 5:52 PM EST via mobile reply actions
We're not as good on defense without Marvin Williams
methinks.
We also played a lot without Josh early, too, which certainly doesn’t help.
josh smith is a below average on the ball defender
and his help defense is so good he deserves to be at least second team all defense.
are you
sure its not his hair tweeting

guards do it all the time with no call
by RivBoatGambler on Dec 13, 2009 6:05 PM EST up reply actions
-1 cool points
for mentioning Jewel. Especially in reference to a specific song.
by Bronn on Dec 13, 2009 6:08 PM EST up reply actions 1 recs
when JJ has 5 assists or more we are 10-1 - laker game the only loss

I swore I'd never fall in love with another young hawks pg after Acie broke my heart
But Teague is just so charming…
He's like the David Cassidy of the team.
So young and dreamy.

a jewel and david cassidy reference, comparing bob's hair to john lennon, and a picture of a polar bear
all by halftime. i love game threads.
not to gripe but how good could we be with a good pg
by RivBoatGambler on Dec 13, 2009 6:29 PM EST up reply actions
He is a good PG.
Even Nash and Kidd suck at defense. Bibby is a brilliant player. Just a little sluggish.
josh with the long face after the 3
Just imagine " man! He gets to make a three!"
by Hawksgirl on Dec 13, 2009 6:35 PM EST via mobile reply actions
why do I feel uneasy although we are up by 14

ha ha
bob says " well you know when your maslots a tree" lol
by Hawksgirl on Dec 13, 2009 6:41 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I still remember
When the mascot got ejected from the tournament about 3 years ago.
Dancing in a non-specified dancing area. It’s just weird when the tree gets ejected.
I like the 8 assists better - key to team ball

Is a magician with his magic ball. ‘ow who said he can’t pass?
by Hawksgirl on Dec 13, 2009 6:53 PM EST via mobile reply actions
when we have more than 6 threes
We usually take the win
by Hawksgirl on Dec 13, 2009 6:56 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I entertain this idea a lot
Josh Smith hitting the first free throw, missing the second, getting the rebound, getting fouled again, then missing the second shot again, and getting fouled yet again.
How long could that go on?
I honestly believe
Woody leave players in to pad stats. if for nothing else then to at least gain confidence.
Mo does need more minutes
but it is the Nets, hard to read in too much into this performance
jamal
Did 2 years at high school and one year at Michigan…………..okay there is something odd about those facts
by Hawksgirl on Dec 13, 2009 7:03 PM EST via mobile reply actions
does othello have any nba points?
If not he needs to get some………….teague is very scrapped and hardworking. okay so why hasent he gotten his due time
by Hawksgirl on Dec 13, 2009 7:07 PM EST via mobile reply actions
alright teague has stole my heart
You were right rivboatgambler
by Hawksgirl on Dec 13, 2009 7:12 PM EST via mobile reply actions
othello is talented
But just like how teague started out wit limited mins u suck at first but you get better wit more time…………….is it me or are our fans hostile?
by Hawksgirl on Dec 13, 2009 7:15 PM EST via mobile reply actions
But what do we call THIS line-up
involving Othello Hunger, Randolph Morris, and Jason Collins?
My personal preference is “the 117” (since they’re jersey numbers are large numbers, which add up to 117).
Big JC and the headband checking in.
by dstdeelite on Dec 13, 2009 7:17 PM EST via mobile reply actions
OMG the cheeseburgers
Are showing out
by Hawksgirl on Dec 13, 2009 7:17 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Our starters mocking Collins is hilarious!
by dstdeelite on Dec 13, 2009 7:18 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Rand-Mo
If he’d gotten injured, that would have been the most embarrasing reason ever. Hustling after a ball with under a minute left, up 25.
I like how this sounds like a scrimmage
I can hear guys shouting “Rebound!” “Box out!” “Switch, switch!”
I knew that was a shot clock violation!
lol bit great game hawks! Nice put away. were winning when expected, another one under the belt
by Hawksgirl on Dec 13, 2009 7:25 PM EST via mobile reply actions
JC and the HeadBand
I like that. Sort of sounds like some awful 70s pop act.
