Blogging With the Enemy: Orlando Pinstriped Post
Predicted bane of the Hawks' existence: The Orlando Magic
Lets see, things to avoid tonight: Mike Woodson having to make decisions, medium to large deficits, one foul benchings, forming game strategies around Gortat, long, contested two point jump shots, not trying, and giving up easy "and 1." To be fair, it is not as bad as it sounds. The Hawks only need to do six out of seven of these to win. Plus, all the normal stuff like rebound and play dense and hope the other team does not play well.
Two pieces of good news though, win or lose we know who is going to get credit or blame: our old friend effort. Whether the just try hard and everything works out has any relevance or factual basis in playoff basketball, it is tough to say, but at least our team is consistent, they have one god and they rarely lose focus. The other piece of good news? I guarentee the Hawks lose by less than 43.
Ok partially guarantee.
But seriously, you only have to win one and as much as that game felt like multiple losses, probably should have counted for multiple losses, it did not. Despite it all, the Hawks are one game away from having control of this series. For real. Now finding hope that truth can become a reality, well, that is where I leave you to fill up the comments. I for one have not stopped rooting for it, just maybe stopped believing (sorry Journey).
Go Hawks!

Excellent post - Let's keep hope alive, boys are coming home after this
Whether we lose or not, i want us to fight.
I can not stand being passive again, fight darn it, you have fought all year, put up with sh*t all year to get here. It is chance of a lifetime on national TV, no other NBA games on tonight. Focus is on you, fight even if you go down. Here is to Zaza for putting Howard on the floor if he wants to go for a stupid dunk.
Yes i be close to Tennessee’s finest tonight too, can not handle it alone.
Our hope tonight....
Is that everyone who’s a hawk fan find some hope and hang on to it. Being positive for our own team will be the way. We all know what happened last time out…but let us allow our team to use any hope they have to pull out a victory.
Atlanta will win a championship....someday
Sadly or luckily, depending on how the game goes
I will not be watching the game tonight. I’m, going to a premier of Just Wright. It’s basketball related, so there’s that. I am still hoping we win, although I am slightly delusional at times. I’ve not jumped off the bandwagon. Hell if 40 point losses are where we draw the line, none of us would be Hawks fans. Go Hawks.

Maybe Dwight Howard's performance in the movie will suck, and you could take heart in that

Pity me.
Question: Woody, what happened to the ball movement? Answer: I think our defense was pretty solid tonight. We held them to under 200 points so we did our job on that end.
All Hawks fans should drink!

It's really simple, and I advocated this during one of the regular season matchups
you take Howard out. Whenever you have a chance, take him out. It’s what the Pistons used to do to Jordan. It’s how the NBA used to work. The Hawks are not tough enough to do it, but someone needs to send Dwight sprawling, send a message.

Someone must take Dwight out. It is getting to the point where we should simply just blatantly punch him in the neck
or elbow him in the groin area. The refs are obviously not going to call a square game, so we must trade a Collins/Morris/Zaza for Dwight. Eye for an Eye. We MUST SEND A MESSAGE.

STAT
over 60% of the time, when a team losses by 20 points or more in a playoff game, the team that lost, wins the next game
MIKE WOODSON IS A GENIUS
You tanked game 1. There’s no way that point differential was genuine. Was it?

I think it was the sucky defense
that kept the Falcons out of the playoffs. Let’s hope they’re better-they spent the entire draft on defense, it seemed.
You got Dunta Robinson....that fills the huge hole at corner
49er and ATL Hawks fan since '86, Braves fan since '90, Bama fan since birth.
All in all, I think they played well despite the injuries.
Williams was a ray of light and getting Decoud in there was as well. We won 9, got the monkey off the back, and we’re going to be awesome this year.

that's mike brown's offense at work
in game 2, it was lebron standing around and waiting for his teammates to do something.
No, not with the elbow
But for us to try to use JJ as if he’s LeBron James is close to insanity. We try it all the same.
LeBron is effective when he's barreling down the lane and hop, skipping into the lane.

They really abused us for the period where we had two starters in against 5 of their starters
Our bench is not up to that.
Okay
Buzzer beater wasn’t too bad-he clearly didn’t call the bank. Hawks just have to step up in the fourth. We got some good minutes from Zaza there, gave Horford a rest. When Horf gets back in, we’ve got a chance to make a run.
Looks like
The Hawks and Braves mirror each other, both failing to make good on chances given to them. Joe not shooting well, Jamal cant do it all, this is about to get away from us, but much better than GM1, kudos

We almost never see this: Jamal, Mo, Marvin, Josh, Horford. Might have rolled with it for just a bit longer, but I think we’ll see a change coming out of this time-out.
And that will do it for Atlanta tonight

Not really.
The Hawks played really good basketball for 3 & a half quarters. They were also shooting the lights out from three.
Then when the shots stopped falling in the 4th, they stopped playing defense too.

orlando was just not playing good defense. when howard was on the bench we couldn’t defend horford if our lives depended on it in the 2nd quarter. starting 6-7 from three point and 28-28 from the freethrow line is why they were in the game.

Too scared of D12.
There only we can get back in this series is attack D12 when we are on offense. He may end up with 8 or 9 blocks but I bet he will be in foul trouble.

But to my defense I was on mobile so I couldn’t observe his “friendly” profile pic.
Thank god for Lawrence Taylor
If it were’nt for him, this game would be all over espn
So throwed that Randy Moss jumpin up couldn't even catch it
In my opinion....
The Hawks have a better team than Orlando and when they want to play, they showed they could dominate. Although only for 3 quarters, when they’re mentally in the game, they can beat anyone. It’s the mentality that’s a cancer to this team, especially with J-Smoove. The third quarter was a complete mental meltdown for him. He stopped running in the transition, made exTREMELY careless turnovers, went back to the 25% jumpshot instead of taking it to the rack, and gave up on defense. Woodson should have yanked him out the game and to hit him in the face with the clipboard to wake him up and remind him that THIS IS THE PLAYOFFS FOR CHRIST SAKE, NOT AND1!!!! I could write 10 pages more on this stuff, but well all get the point, so I won’t beat a dead horse. I do, however, believe that we will take both games in Phillips and hopefully get Dwight in foul trouble early. Those fouls that were calle against our big men in the first quarter tonight……C’MON SON!!!
