Loser Dots

LeBron is good.
The Cavs play horribly good defense. They play defense 40 feet from the basket without giving up any advantage. If Bibby guards someone 40 feet from the basket, help defense has to happen starting 32 feet from the basket.
The Hawks rebound like they have lobster claws.
Mo Evans is good at defense unless the offensive player drives the ball.
Joe, I will defend your deep, irrational three most times in the playoffs, but not a second time when you missed the first and we are down 20.
The Cavs overplay the pass so much you would think the Hawks could try a back cut.....at least once.
Hey Hubie, the Hawks do not run. Thanks for rubbing it in with your ignorant analysis. Hawksdawgs.
It does not matter how many injuries a team has. A game like this embarrassing. And even though I think the Hawks are playing so bad because of injuries, their response to that adversary is horrible. I feel like the Hawks are taking 6 steps back this postseason after taking 4 hard fought steps forward over the last 4 years.
I almost just threw up.
Back in the the first half when the game still felt like it mattered, Mo Evans shot a three and the long rebound that fell right where he would be if he followed his shot was rebounded by the Cavs and the guy Mo went to guard instead of rebounding still got a wide open, fast break shot. Yea that is a nice microcosim of the game.
Joe is doubtful for Saturday. Ok I legit just threw up.
I have yet to see why Othello Hunter is behind Solomon Jones.
If I ever see Hawks centers not named Al Horford, guard LeBron James I am going to see if it what is and is not legal in regards to Mike Woodson (ed. note: Al Horford should not guard LeBron).
Prove a starter showed up and I will find the cheapest Hawks jersey on ebay and give it to you.
Two days ago, if you told me Othello Hunter would guard LeBron James in the playoffs, I would have mocked you so badly you would have cried.

Go Hawks?

I agree completely

With the the vomit part…. I was able to swallow mine a little..
With the Othello part… Solomon Jones sucks. Just sayin’….

Joe is a Beast

For the record

I know for a fact I predicted, before the series, that Josh Smith would get a technical in the third quarter of game 2.

I was spot on.

Though

I think he also got one last night? So it’s not like I predicted a one-time-only occurrence.

You know, I know it was garbage time

And there’s various reasons why this didn’t mean anything, like the Cavs sat all their starters while we continued to play Mo and Zaza (who are normally bench players but actually started for us), and that their bench players had nothing to play for, but still, this is bad.

Our dregs-of-the-roster scored 30 points in the fourth quarter. Atlanta’s actual players scored 35 in the first half.

I hate that I noticed that

You know, no JJ, possibly no Marv for game 3-I’m kinda ready for next season to start.

Josh Smith showed up,

then he promptly got 2 … then 3 fouls. The second was a blocking charge on a Lebron-patented bull rush. I don’t like watching a sport that calls that a foul. It was great defense. The third foul, committed after about 8min on the bench was the opposite situation, except for the fact that Smith tried to avoid the defender and pulled up before hitting his flopping defender. Clearly he should have lowered his shoulder and gone straight through his chest.

Josh Smith showed up, but the refs kidnapped him. It was clearly a traumatic experience, and he wasn’t the same upon returning. By the time he got back the game was over.

Othello Hunter's jumper looks promising,

shot clock not withstanding.

Where do I start?

Joe Johnson:

The Joe Johnson air ball when down by 20?

The fact he only attacked the double team once the whole game(he did score)?

The fact that Solomon Jones had a better game than Joe Johnson?

Maybe how about the last possession at the end of the first half and our “leader” decided to take a breather and let Flip put it up.

How our “leader” isn’t a LEADER.

Joe Johnson’s lack of movement without the ball.(could be a product of Woodson’s coaching.)

Mike Woodson
WHY THE HELL WAS OTHELLO HUNTER ON LEBRON?(I know why doesn’t make any sense is the problem)

Why does Mike believe in 100% of the time of switching?Fighting through the pick is a GREAT idea.

Acie Law please give him minutes.

Josh Smith

Can he please be benched everytime he shoots a jumpshot?He is so dominate in the post its a lack of judgement on his part to do anything other than be IN THE POST!!!

That’s my only gripe with Josh the refs managed his minutes last night on horrible calls.

A weird thought I had last night

While I was attempting to curse Joe Johnson out in multiple languages I had a thought.If Josh Smith can come into next season with a jumpshot lets move him to the #3 spot and trade Joe Johnson to whoever gets Blake Griffin.End
