Hawks Injury Report: Al Horford and Marvin Williams are game time decisions. I put them in the starting lineup more to hold out hope than to hold up reality.
Cavs Injury Report: JJ Hickson and Lorenzen Wright are out.
Blogging With the Enemy: Fear the Sword
Predicted bane of the Hawks existence: LBJ
Game Preview:
You always want to feel like your team has a chance. Even if it is just based out of the "nothing to lose" mantra. But Cleveland being Cleveland and Atlanta being injured, I am feeling pretty low. Struggling for the positives. Not feeling the kool aid. I am probably most upset that the Hawks may not be able to show what they are capable of on the national stage. Last year's great show lasting three games only got the Hawks two nationally televised games. This year has been worse. Due to immaturity, bad coaching, and injuries, the Hawks have not really endeared themselves to anyone. And that is a shame. So if we are taking baby steps toward hope, I will simply ask the team to come out playing with the passion, excitement, and athleticism, I have seen them possess, that they play with a "nothing to lose" attitude. And if we want to take big steps of hope, a win tonight by the Hawks and Atlanta has home court advantage.
Keys to the game:
- Play your freaking guts out.
I do not really care if the Hawks lose by 20. I just want them to go bananas in the process. I want fire. I want over the backs and hard screens. I want "don't try that again" fouls and run down blocks. I want it to be 48 minutes of pure passion. The Cavs are better. I don't care. Go win.
Lets go Hawks!

I don’t see a way for the Hawks to win tonight. But I’d still like to see Joe step up and figure out a way to score 30 points. I’d like to see Woodson show some unusual rotation flexibility and give Acie Law big minutes even before the game reaches garbage time because Flip was useless in game 1. I’d like to see the Hawks lose because they were down 2 starters against a better team and not because they turn the ball over too much and play without energy. Give us a 20 point loss where at the end we can say, “That was all they could do under the circumstances,” rather than, “It wouldn’t have mattered if they had Marvin and Al with the way they played.”

Good Lord
I know that the Hawks are playing with half a deck, but if this game doesn’t get Mike Woodson fired, I don’t know what will. The players are flat, there’s no game plan. This is just flat out embarrassing. Playing bad on the road season after season is a reflection on a teams coaching staff. This is simply awful.

Yeah, but Josh has gotta play through it
He lets the ref calls get into his head.

I'm normally one of Josh's biggest critics, but I wish I could be there tonight,
to get a “T”, and teel the refs where to stuff it.

wat happened?
Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball.

Sooooo
Are you implying you want Joe to be flopping? Because that would be one helluva switch from just a few posts ago.

Woody's not getting fired, it doesn't matter what you think,
the Hawks are improved this season, regardless of how this series goes, He will be back.

The injuries, yes. JJ is in a wheelchair. But still, they give up when they get down by 15+

is it just me
or does it seem like this entire second unit plays extremely well together? They are getting each other involved, Acie is making some killer cuts to the hole, and Garner looks good also. I mean, they just look much more fluid out there. I know they are running against the Cav’s second unit, but this last few possessions have not looked like a typical Woody offense.

Uhm, positive notes
The Hawks’ bottom five outplayed the Cleveland bottom five?
Atlanta may be able to use the “We’re missing most of our starting line-up” excuse following the game 3 loss.

LeBron committed at least 5 fouls last night
and was only called for 1. He fouled Josh three….once in the back of the head and once in the mouth and the charge at the beginning of the game. I’m still trying to figure out why there weren’t any free throw attempts on the play where Joe got hurt . Did I miss something? I can imagine it’s difficult for Josh to play hard when he’s being abused by LeBron. He took that charge like a man and didn’t get the call. Even Hubie agreed that at least on 3 occasions he was fouled. Question: Has anybody else seen the commercial where Scott Van Pelt is sitting in LeBron’s throne? Is it me or is LeBron much, much thinner in that commercial. He’s like 30 pound lighter! WTF are they feeding him?? I love the Hawks, but I’m ready for the pain to stop. With 3 starters sidelined, I don’t see it happening for us tomorrow in Philips. I hated the Cavs before this series. I utterly loathe them now. They weren’t real animated when our bench was mopping the floor with theirs. I’m really proud of our bench players. They played really well together. Here’s an idea: Let them start Saturday! They won’t have sense enough to know they’re outmatched. They’ll just play their hearts out and give it 200%. Just a thought.
