Hawks Injury Report: Most of the Hawks are either physical or mental game time decisions.
Cavs Injury Report: Delonte West's eye is fine in case you were worried.
Blogging With the Enemy: Fear the Sword
Predicted bane of the Hawks existence: LBJ
Game Preview:
The Hawks are at a low point. Going against a better team, injury riddled, and down 0-2, but I am not just Hawks fan when the good times role. You cannot be a Hawks fan and a front runner. So lets quit the moaning, stop the complaining, get loud, and root for Josh Smith to rip the rim down.There is no reason to be embarrassed when getting fighting mad is such a more effective emotion. The Hawks and the fans need to step it up.
Keys to the game:
- Don't go down 30.
- Bring the highlights to the Highlight factory.
- Hot Flip.
- Run, run, run. The Hawks are not going to be beat the Cavs in the half court. That has been established. We are at home, lets dictate the pace.
Enjoy the commet thread liberally, who knows how many more we have left.
Go Hawks!

This series is basically about selling tickets for next year
At this point that’s what it has come to. We every excuse to quit, but they had better not do it at home. Do it on the road as usual. They can sell maybe a 1000 tickets by winning tonite.

Bibby should play SG tonight..
Flip should get the start at PG as long as Flip doesn’t have the green light to spot up and shoot.

Deflating
They were up by 5 or 6 now down by 1 at half. Seriously deflating. I would be suprised if this one stays under 10.

By the Way
Lebron gets every single call. No exagerrations needed.

LeBron does get favorable calls, and doesn't need them,
the main reason for the Cavs surge is James, just hitting ridiculous threes, I don’t feel that is deflating, if the hawks keep their heads this could be a close one, all the way.
Geaux Hauxs!

Zaza has been the Hawks most important bench player this post season,
the T was unfortunate, and dumb, but a double was uncalled for.

Z
Zaza hurt us be he was correct. If a player is clearly out of control its a player control foul. That was a player control foul. The rule is unclear even though the so-called no-charge area is clear, the player control foul still exist. Finally, Im finished with this game for the night. Like I said we will lose at home by double figures.

Didnt Even Compete
This is the kind of stuff that gets people trading and not re-signed

No, off season issue for the hawks to address...
… bickering ownership.

i'm really interested to see what they're gonna do this offseason.
-sign Bibby?
-try to draft/trade for a younger point guard?
-sign Zaza?
-bring in another big man?
-fire Woodson or keep him?
-bring in a superstar? (not t-mac, please…)
-trade one of our stars and a draft pick for another big man?
I hope ownership doesn’t c***block themselves and ATL by being complacent. We all want to see them be EVEN BETTER next year. Therefore, they need to make moves.

Big man might be good idea.
My wife was freaking out over the size of Cleveland’s players over ours. Then i showed her the pic Hawksdawgs had up for the game #2 recap. She said “poor Joe gettin gang-raped by a bunch of giants.”

Well, this was not fun, but also not entirely unexpected,
The Hawks are obviously a team that is still shy of being able to compete for a championship, but I don’t feel they are too far away.
