Predicted bane of the Hawks' existence: Louis Williams in front of the hometown crowd. 

Game Preview:

Should win. Need to win. Hawks might do the things we always say they need to do to win. They might not. They will win if they do the former. They might win either way

Non-basic keys to the game:

  1. Whoever Louis Williams guards (Marvin or Joe) needs to get the ball a lot.

Go Hawks!

I assume Lou will start on Bibby — just a guess though.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 3, 2010 4:51 PM EST reply actions  

i take back my key then

bibby does not need the ball a lot. How is Jrue’s defense? I hope it is good. Joe Johnson likes contested shots.

by hawksdawgs on Mar 3, 2010 5:26 PM EST up reply actions  

Jrue’s defense has ranged from incredible to ehh. But he’s the youngest player in the league so inconsistency is expected.

It’ll be an interesting matchup.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 3, 2010 6:25 PM EST up reply actions  

Dear Hawks,

We won two in a row, back-to-back. This doesn’t mean we can slack off. Play good, focused basketball and we will WIN! in short, play like I know you can. Good luck. Go Hawks!

Sincerely,

hawves

by ATLpaul on Mar 3, 2010 7:37 PM EST reply actions  

Teague

Needs to dominate someone at some point during the regular season. He has not dominated anyone.

by Truthspitter on Mar 3, 2010 7:38 PM EST reply actions  

Iggy has "Bad Josh" synrome.

Mister “give up on a play when you’re mad”.

by Duff_Man on Mar 3, 2010 7:41 PM EST reply actions  

Jason smith 2 quick fouls wow

No wonder I have never heard of him

by Hawksgirl on Mar 3, 2010 7:43 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

At some point

some one should probably tell Teague that he doesn’t have to foul every time someone ends up behind him

Al

we can just attack the basket at will lets keep doing it

by Erihury on Mar 3, 2010 7:57 PM EST reply actions  

Even the 76ers announcers are conceding defeat

by Throw on Mar 3, 2010 7:57 PM EST reply actions  

No killer instinct

I guess it left early in the season, hope this easy a replay of every game lately we will see in the 3rd

by Truthspitter on Mar 3, 2010 8:00 PM EST reply actions  

Bibster!

After the 1st quarter baby!

by Duff_Man on Mar 3, 2010 8:02 PM EST reply actions  

Marvin in attack mode is a pretty sight

may be he should miss his first three pointer every game

by ATLpaul on Mar 3, 2010 8:04 PM EST reply actions

Eddie Jordan's post-game presser

“Marvin Williams had a good game and he’s like their 5th option.”

by Duff_Man on Mar 3, 2010 9:39 PM EST reply actions  

So for the second straight game

Mario West had more points than PFs. You can really tell we’ve turned this thing around.
