Game Thread #50! Washington @ Atlanta


Next Game

Washington Wizards
@ Atlanta Hawks

Tuesday, Feb 10, 2009, 7:00 PM EST
Philips Arena

Complete Coverage >


WHO: Washington (11-40) at Atlanta (29-21)

WHERE: No TV (and I am not happy about it), Hawks Radio NetworkNBA Audio League Pass

Hawks Injury Report: Mike Bibby is a game timer t and apparently Acie will never see the court again so prepare yourself for some serious Flip

Wizards Injury Report: Pretty much everyone but Caron Butler and Antwan Jamison.

Blogging With the Enemy: Bullets Forever 

Predicted bane of the Hawks existence: I really want to say Nick Young, but I have to go with Caron Butler and that is my final answer.

Game Preview:

If I thought God cared about NBA basketball, I would pray that Al Horford has a break out (since injury) game tonight. But I don't think the good Lord much cares.

How damaging would a loss tonight be though? Put it this way, if we are down in the fourth quarter, I am going to start praying God has a thing if not for the NBA than at least for Georgians on their birthday.

This is an open game thread and for all you with league pass, I would love to hear your thoughts. Regardless, prepare for a halftime rant by me with little more than a boxscore to go on.

Go Hawks!

and for those without tv, go read a lively discussion that I joined on Acie Law and why Mike Woodson does or does not but probably does suck over at Hoopinion.

It's not so much a discussion about whether Woodson sucks

It’s more like everyone getting in the reasons why we don’t like anything he does.

And in response to no TV: I bet THIS is the game where Josh Smith gets his quadruple double, Acie goes off for 20, Flip thinks about taking stupid shots then passes them up, and Al Horford starts showcasing his newly developed post-up game. And NO ONE will see it. Woodson will then bench Acie for being too aggressive in a fourth quarter possession, and Acie will be back to normal. After the game, Woodson will point out that the Wizards scored 100 points (it will be with an offensive efficiency of 1.02, not very good, but Woody won’t know it) and accuse the team of not giving effort on defense. As a result, the team will once again stop responding to him and everything will be back to normal.

that's not easy

get your first start. play decent. get called out by the coach for not playing decent and then go out and tear it up.

acie4mvp and plastic man welcome to peachtree hoops.

No real reason

that Horf didn’t play more. Woody is just easing him back in. I think this was his 5 minutes per quarter plan, only he wasn’t needed in the fourth quarter because the Hawks had a huge lead.

Also, Zaza was tearing up the offensive boards-despite the fact that 4 of those came on one possession where he was just tipping back to himself.

And Acie impressed me more than anyone else I saw tonight, which is just great. He still needs to figure out how to get his jump shot working, but aside from that, he did very little wrong. 0 turnovers and a couple of very nice dishes, finding the open guys, and he drove the lane very well.

In short, you wore the tux on the wrong night.

not a problem, been reading the blog at zaza’s playground for the past few months, it is good to see you over at Peachtree….keep up the good work

You should have seen Josh Smith jump off the bench when Ra MO hit a turnaround in the fourth quarter, I now know that the only reason that he is still on the team is because he was Josh’s teamate back in high school AAU…. still even after scoring his first basket of the season not a smile
