-jrauch commenting at Hoopinion on Woody's (non)logic in his post-game comments
Was reading the game preview at the rival blog
and I think they were talking about me. Pop over and check their game-day thread where they talk about how “whiney and ill-informed Hawks fans are.”
After I turned game 6 off halfway through the fourth quarter, I felt so disgusted with my team that I decided to pop over and offer congratulations for the Heat handing out an ass-whipping.
The following ensued:
Congratulations from a Hawks Fan See you in game 7
So you’re the one (Obviously a joke about our fanbase)
Haha…I’ve heard that one before
I bet you have (I had to defend Atlanta’s fanbase so I made one more comment)
Got to say though…being talk about Atlanta being a poor sports town… Lot of empty seats in Miami at the start of this one. Not that it mattered. Got to score to win, and the Hawks left their baskets in the locker room.
At this point people commented that Miami fans are usually a late arriving crowd because they’re busy, rich, and beautiful, whereas Atlanta fans have nothing to do but cash unemployment checks. And someone made fun of my name, of all things.
So, in the gameday thread, my comment on the late arriving game 6 crowd was even quoted, and then the comment about whiney, ill-informed Atlanta fans.
I can only assume from my three posts over there that the author decided we’re all whiney and ill-informed. And I can’t even say I was whiney, and there’s no way I said enough for anyone to know I was ill-informed. Perhaps they were reading comments over from this blog, but, well, that would be their own problem.
What ever happened to friendly conversations between fans?
Win or Go Home
This is gonna be bad. Have we won on national tv this year? Dont think so.
I have a million beers and about 50 gallons of liquor.
If I survive this game, I better get a will ready!
BTW…great to see Horf out there balling, and Bibby is gonna be a MONSTER today!
He didn't finish that sentance
He should have said “Work it around until you can find the man (being guarded by Bibby)”
How is Josh Smith already an enigma?
3-3 shooting, 2 rebounds, an assists, but also 2 tunovers already.
He’s an enigma on both micro- and macro- scales.
Another good job to get the foul in before Wade was in the act of shooting
I’m taking pleasure in the small things right now.
After his 30 second breather
Josh Smith is acting like less of an enigma. Got the blocked shot, then drained a couple of free throws. Also secured another board.
They're getting every loose ball,
I don’t think it’s a lack of effort by the Hawks, the bounces aren’t going their way. Hopefully things will even out.
I'm still upset
that the blog author at “Peninsula is Mightier” decided all Hawks fans are whiney and ill-informed because I commented on the late arriving Heat crowd at game 6 (see above comment).
Am I seething too long over this?
Apparently that's normal
when I went over to offer congrats while Atlanta was in the latter stages of an ass-whipping, someone made a lame joke about Hawks fans.
I commented back that even though Atlanta gets a bad rap, there were a lot of empty seats at the start of that game. Miami commentors informed me that since Miami residence are busy, rich, and beautiful, they seldom arrive on time.
Blog author today says HAwks fans are whiney and ill-informed in his game preview, and quotes me specifically.
ZAZA!
I remember the first time I took my friend, Daniel, to a Hawks game, he thought Ryan Cameron was just making noises every time Zaza scored.
the bad thing about wade is he hits impossible answer shots
the good thing about wade is those answer shots are usually bad shots.
At least he isn't Kobe
Kobe will hit shots that are REALLY impossible. Two defenders draped over him, no view of the basket, and drains a three from the edge of the center-court Hawk logo.
With the series that James Jones is having
There’s nowhere to hide Bibby on defense. But he did a good job there.
And answers with a THREE!!!
If I'm on the playground with LeBron, Kobe, Wade, KG and Flip Murray
I’m picking Flip first on my team. He must OWN pick-up games.
Even though its been an awful series,
there have still been stories. Wade, obviously. Hawks injuries. O’Neal’s reemergence. ESPN is just taking what the Heat are complaining about and running with it.
I think that all star HORSE game is having Homerun Derby-like effects on Joe.
He can only hits shots with a difficulty over 9.2
i love that they are mentioning
1. wade was complaining
2. it was not a foul
3. it allowed joe to be wide open.
love the pace of this game for the hawks
when the defense is there, the hawks are a really, really good team at this pace.
Good news for the Hawks
Jo-Jo Reyes is pitching for the Braves today. By my rule, a Braves loss = a Hawks win.
Looks like we won't be seeing Marvin ...
probably for the best. If he can’t shoot, there’s no point in playing him this series. He’d just be standing on the three pt line guarding James Jones. Mo’s doing a really nice job on Wade too, give JJ some rest.
It seems dumb
But the Hawks, without Marvin, are best sticking to a 7.1 man rotation (Mario’s 1 minute cameos don’t really count).
If Zaza ever bleaches his hair blonde
We’ll need to call him Drago. Huge man, Eastern European, it fits much better.
Brent(or Rick) Barry
Says the Hawks can’t touch the Cavs if the Hawks win this game?
Doesn’t that sound familiar? (vs Celtics about 366 days ago)
http://www.49ersboard.blogspot.com
I agree, though
Last year, I did believe the Hawks could make the series interesting, which they did.
This year, I doubt their capability to win more than one game against the Cavs.
To be fair
(Whichever) Barry should have said that neither team can touch the Cavs. The winner of this series is just a prelude to the conference finals for them.
Another good timeout by Woody?
Woody isn’t just staring with his mouth open.
WTH is with the music ABC is playing as they go to commercial?
I was just about to say
About the music, which sounded like the FUll House Opening theme song, and the good T.O by woodson

Analysis
“You have to make shots to win on the road.”
Really…going 0-for on field goals won’t do it?
J.J has the hottest hand on the court
Right now he should just pull up from 30 ft, show the world what he’s made of

Wassup Fellas!
Just getting home, been listening in the car…. Radio Announcers tickle me…

Smoove is a MONSTER!
I need to try to lock up some tickets NOW!
They WILL be sold out tomorrow morning…

i love flip.
some players dont want to hurt their stats and wont shoot bombs at the end of quarters.
flip would do that on a regular possession.
Vote: Which dunk does Josh try after the whistle?
Through the legs (again)
SUPER Cock-back
Windmill
Backwards?
lol….
Joe is a Beast
Al is a Beast
Smoove is a MONSTER!

I give it a 9.5
Lebron’s son better not be a highlight over this Smoove dunk again

I wish he'd (Flair) stop acting like Rasheed Wallace

Anyone else think it's funny
that Reggie Miller is a great player who was FAMOUS for that, and yet he was still getting away with it all the way until the end of his career?
Twitted I don't believe is the correct verb
My personal faves

Joe I'm just a tad better then average Johnson
who ever came up with the 2>3 poster is genius!

Don't forget to raid the Miami Heat blog after the game
=D
I’ll go on a limb and say this game is over
http://www.49ersboard.blogspot.com
Okay, the game/series isn't over yet, but
is this the worst 7 game series in history?
Closest final score is 10 points, and THAT game was over in the second quarter.
Wade padding his stats
James Jones shoots the T’s in the close games if I remember correctly
http://www.49ersboard.blogspot.com
He must have picked that up from Smith

Heat fan here congrats

yep

Many thanks
Hey, great season. Great turnaround, and the future looks bright with the young guys you’ve got paired with Wade.
thanks
toobad this game wasnt closer

good luck against teh Cavs
"How can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?"
-From the Unforgiven III off of Death Magnetic
c'mon
lets close out this game
If they put Wade back in anything could happen
http://www.49ersboard.blogspot.com
Also worth noting
Mario probably didn’t deserve that technical, but he’s still stupid for earning it.
I'll go out on a limb and predict he starts game 1
It’s not a very stable limb. Probably going to leave me plummeting to the earth, screaming.
All right, looking ahead to Cleveland
Let’s hope Marvin is healthy. We can’t stop LeBron, and Marvin is probably our only chance of slowing the man down. Any possession JJ is guarding LeBron is one we’ll probably regret.
Not to mention the possessions when Mo is guarding him
I’d rather have Josh Smith on him than Mo Evans.
Actually, can we just add Josh Childress to the roster for this series? I don’t see a problem with it.
so no mention
of Haslem’s tattoo? WTF? The State of Florida? On your back?
I didn’t know the NBA dress code had a stipulation allowing Jorts.
CONGRATS
CONGRATS to all the Hawks fans!!!!!!. It only took your pathetic team 7 games to beat a 1 man team in D. Wade. Next up……YOUR ASSES GET SWEPT BY KING JAMES AND THE CAVS :)
