Atlanta Hawks 102, Houston Rockets 95 or eyebrows set the tone.

by hawksdawgs on Jan 25, 2010 11:21 PM EST

Mike Woodson pregame and post eyebrow via HawksPRman' twitter.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. And a losing streak back to 1999 certainly qualifies. So feel free to plug in your eye brown free Woody story, but the moral of it better be positive. Because dang it if the Hawks didn't pull off a Prince-esque performance. Ok, it wan't Prince-esque but that analogy would have been one for the ages.

To recap before the offical recap:

Joe Johnson stayed out of the Joe show (for the most part) and still hit shots.
Clutch threes and/or shots by Jamal and Bibby.
Josh Smith took the focus train to crazy town.
Good defense. (44 shots in the paint by Houston with less than 50% shooting.)

If someones didn't have to lose a set of eyebrows, it would all seems easy enough. But for one night, lets live into the hope that it is that easy. So who is willing to sacrifice for San Antonio?

Go Hawks!

So the head shave was two years ago.

This year, it was the eyebrows.

So if the Hawks win a championship, is the mustache next? Does he go completely hairless?

That's a set up, now you know we all have to google it.

If your safe search is off, you'll get some interesting stuff.

Cats, dogs, and a flurry of male and female genitalia.

Bob's not the kind of guy who can pull off nicknames.

’Nique could probably still pull off a couple more, though.

Imagine him coaching the East All Stars with no eyebrows!!

by dkrib on Jan 26, 2010 8:04 AM EST reply actions

Can someone explain to me how Houston only had 15 fouls called against them?

If they have a team motto, it has to be “Clutch and Grab.”

I have never wanted the starters out of the game so badly, as I feared injury on every offensive possession. Good win by the Hawks, because Houston tries so hard to force the opponent into an ugly game.

Now, let’s go down to San Antonio and try to guard Tony Parker!

by Fred Pen on Jan 26, 2010 8:12 AM EST reply actions

looking forward

if teague can guard parker

oh woody

Coaching the allstars he would have to learn some type of offense but I guess with the allstars knowing how to shoot defense will tell the story. I’m on your bandwagon woody! this is now the most crazy coach I have ever seen. he will do anything for his team to get them in it(except teach offense). I admire his strategy of tit for tat
