Tonight was like having a bad argument. Tomorrow, it’s in the past and you forget what you were fighting about.

Is when you realize your mistakes, learn from them, and don’t do them anymore. For some reason, when the hawks lose, they don’t believe they made mistakes that they themselves must correct. Some of this can’t just fall on Woodson ( I’m starting to believe now) this CRAP has to fall on the so called leaders of this team. I love the Hawks, but they can’t come up with this “Our shots didn’t fall” B.S. everytime they lose.

The Hawks can’t guard the shooters. Just can’t…can’t get a hand in their face….Don’t take pride in defending the driver. What have the Hawk veterans been doing all this time with the czar of defense Mike Woodson? I guess I feel like venting even though I only saw the last 50 seconds and listened to some of the fourth on the radio.

Almost a definite statement: The Hawks will always lose to teams that shoot the three well…..Golden State, New York, Magic etc……UNLESS they WORK on GUARDING the shooters

When its good, its great, but when its bad, its Eddie Murphy prostitute bad…

I agree with the earlier post. Somebody needs to be held accountable. Woody summed it up with his recap. He talked about them playing pretty well but couldn’t get stops in the 3rd. That type of denial is maddening. Why are you allowing Josh to get jump shot happy again? Why when JC starts making a few shots do you quickly get JJ back in the game when he’s had all of 2 minutes rest? Woody should feel embarrassed. He can’t come up with a plan to beat the zone defense. That’s deplorable. I’m embarrassed. How do we not match up well with them? We could own the inside. I said before that Josh had gone away from finishing strong at the rim? Why is that? How many bunnies has he missed over the past 10 games trying to lay it in. Finish it!!! WTF is really going here. Woody has got to go because he obviously has NO control over this team.

I’ll expound on this when Drew puts up the longer recap tomorrow

the curse of the knickerbaucher is upon us! feel doom!!!!!!!

There is a side of me that is very concerned about this team. Even the first round of playoffs. No defense, and no outside shooting at this point. Not having a real center is really hurting, using Smoove and Lion as the weak side defenders on everything, leaves opponents outside shooters out there open to take jump shots. And where has our outside shooting gone? Why are we not letting rookie play when Bibster can’t make a shot. i mean how much worse can the rookie play? Come on… I am afriad we some some fundemental shortcomings, with lack of a center hurting defensively, and a point guard missing in action

I am beginning to stomach it a little more now that I’ve had time to think on it. I’m not excusing the Hawk’s nonchalant play throughout most of the game. The played wretchedly and somehow almost won this game. The Knicks had to play a damn near perfect game to pull this one out and hat’s off to them for it. They shot more than 50% from 3 point land after going 0-18 in the previous game and yet almost loss this game. On the other hand, we hit only 3 three pointers and we almost eeked out a win. That being said, they have got to buckle down and get tougher. Because like the Knicks, there are other teams that have no chance of making the playoffs and they’re playing for pride now. They’re playing loosely and with nothing to lose. If they can get back to playing like they were playing at the beginning of the season, they’ll be fine. Because they started the season off so well and got all the media attention, teams are bringing it against them every night. They have to realize that. Just like when teams play the Lakers, Magic, Celtics, and Cavs, they bring their A game. The Hawks are going to have to realize this and start coming in with that killer mentality. I don’t know what it’s going to take to get them to realize their true potential.

Who thinks Smooth got fouled on the last play?
