GAME THREAD: HAWKS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 5TH, 2014 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), CSNNW

[KingSpeed]

Holy cow, the Hawks are shooting 25% from the field. Some of that must be our defense.

I think it is. Atlanta scored 120 against Phoenix in their last game.

 

[LuckyShot]

LEFTY HOOK!

Not connected, but didn;t PHX score 79 in the first half against ATL?

 

[BBert]

I love McCollum. Kid has a good all around game. His defense is already better than Lillards, he has a very good handle, good court vision, good mid-range game, can hit the three and score in a variety of ways. Just a basketball player.

Wes looks like he's playing on 40-year old legs sometimes. He's a gamer though.

Layoff, schmayoff, LaMarcus is not playing with any focus or intensity. Maybe the ASG was the ultimate prize, IDK. I expect we'll have LaMonster back for the playoffs, but it's brutal right now.

Batum with 13 boards, some really good defense, and a couple of nice threes. He's really active tonight.

Jon Barry is a complete schmuck. A complete tool.

 

[Strenuus]

Batum does good things when he wants.

 

[KingSpeed]

The charlotte/Philly had direct correlation.

As far as LMA... that's PC comments. We -assume- all pro athletes work hard unless we are told differently. So, he may not be lying, but he's also not being "different"... that's hard to explain.

No one personally insulted anyone. At least, I hope I didn't. If I did, it was definitely not intentional.

If you want to watch the replay, it'll be up on watchespn.com. But yeah, lets enjoy the 2nd half.

Ok. You are heard.

 

[Darkwebs]

Nic is scorching from 3

 

[Darkwebs]

Our guys are dialed in from downtown.

 

[B-Roy]

Batum is beasting.

Hits a three, grabs a rebound, gets an assist. All on consecutive plays.

I'd love a timer on how much ESPN actually talks about the game they are watching...

 

[KingSpeed]

I think our record in TNT and ESPN games is really good. Like 6-2 if we win tonight, I think. Anyone know for sure?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Wow, Barton might end up getting more minutes than Batum has rebounds with this lead.

 

[Strenuus]

I can't find it, but I'm sure that's close.

 

[Darkwebs]

Wes is not gonna let Korver continue his 3-point streak.

 

[LuckyShot]

Out of all his shots tonight, Aldridge hits that one. Go figure.

 

[LuckyShot]

Wes is not gonna let Korver continue his 3-point streak.

You and Barrett are trying hard to jinx us!

 

[KingSpeed]

I think we're gonna go 4-1 on our road trip. We'll be up for every game, the bench is playing better, and there is only one back to back. I'm excited.

 

[Strenuus]

 

[julius]

I understand wanting to keep the streak alive, but there comes a point where winning should be a bigger drive for him/the Hawks.

 

[KingSpeed]

Is this game gonna end with Korver just shooting threes trying to keep his record?

 

[Strenuus]

I like that optimism... I'll say 3-2.

 

[Strenuus]

Is this game gonna end with Korver just shooting threes trying to keep his record?

They could be down 40 and he'll be in there until he hits one or the buzzer sounds.

 

[Strenuus]

Nic another career high in boards... 17.

 

[LuckyShot]

I love RoLo

 

[B-Roy]

My god this game is boring.

 

[julius]

I'm sure Korver will hit a 3, and to be perfectly honest, I don't give a shit if he does.

 

[Strenuus]

I love RoLo

For real. I was one of those that was like "DAMNIT, Withey!!!" .... now, I don't even know if Withey is getting any burn.

 

[blue32]

Lol wut?

 

[Blazinaway]

is it just me or and/or the LMA rust? but our offense looks better w/o him

 

[BlazerCaravan]

My god this game is boring.

Thank god because after the laker game I thought I was having a heart attack... Boring is good for me.
