Hawks Injury Report: Everyone has a back problem. Only the really healthy will play. And the good ones that are healthy will play very little.
Griz Injury Report: Could not quite muster the energy to look it up. I am going to guess very few.
Blogging With the Enemy: 3 Shades of Blue
Predicted bane of the Hawks existence: I think OJ Mayo and Rudy Gay are going to go for a combined 100 points.
Game Preview:
The line for this game was Atlanta +7.5. Considering the Hawks are playing their 12th through 8th men for most of the game and those said men played more than they ever have last game and that last game was yesterday, I think Memphis might take this one in a walk.Unfortunately, I don't gamble on sports....in April....on Wednesdays....that are sunny....and its tax day.
It would still irk me a bit to see the Hawks lose by 20+ the game game before the playoffs, but not enough to play the starters for anything more than a courtesy showing.
Regardless, the shine has not worn off on these bench players. I am still excited to watch this game. I hope Woodson puts Mario West on Mayo and when Mario comes out of the game, someone tells him multiply that by ten and you have Dwayne Wade...on an average night. I will be in the comments with fury...until maybe Lost comes on.
Go Hawks!

Apparently, Joe Johnson won the NBA's "Most Popular Player" award
who knew there was such a thing? Proof
I couldn’t find any other verification of this. Weird.
i think that was for most popular player on the hawks
which I am actually still surprised by. would Horford not rule any high school in the nation?
and i just spent the last 10 minutes
thinking about what each player’s roll would be in high school.
josh smith and i would not have been friends. that is for sure.
no nique either!
if i am going to have mediocre color commentary, I want it from a living legend damn it.
the stinger on flip murray
“he has been successful because of his singular focus.”
what got him run out of detroit and indy gets him props here. i love it.
i feel like the hawks should be leading by 10 right now
and they are only up one.
i also feel like i have no life, so i am fine with things being false.
Othello
is not better than Solo!

Solo
his one highlight that I remember was tapping Josh Smith on the waist, between the 4th quarter and overtime. Smith of course got really mad, but he came out on fire in overtime leading us to a Victory!

I can't believe he's been able to play so many minutes,
doesn’t he average like 3 fouls per minute on the season?
zaza has 5 fouls in 21 minutes
i don’t think he wants to play and has taken it into his own hands to get out of the game.
i expected big noise from you
over the “who has the most important back on the Hawks” and got nothing.
and i have decided randolph only has too defensive moves, scowl and foul.
So ends the barely noteworthy trend
of Atlanta winning all of Mario’s career starts. Got to say, though, he didn’t help that case on a night when Memphis was trying to keep it going.
I'm kind of wondering
what kind of gambling addict actually wanted to place a bet on this game, took Memphis to cover, and was sweating out the last few minutes.
By the way
meant to give you props for making two Game Thread #81’s and getting away with it, but I haven’t been able to care about the past two games.
i noticed it about five games ago
not sure if it was something bret did or i did. I am going to assume me. i just always wanted an 83 game season.
