Official Hawks 3-12-11 thread

[Rhal]

Are you joking me on that call?

 

[Darkwebs]

Crawford loves to light us up.

 

[Rhal]

Zaza smacks LMA no call then a big call on roy and now a three that gets the bounce by crawford.

 

[KingSpeed]

I still think we'll win by 12

 

[EGame]

Somebody needs to call a whaaaaaaaaambulance.

Can anyone really argue that we aren't a jump shooting team? I am willing to listen and see stats and whatnot. It isn't whining it is just making a point this is Portland and what we do.

 

[B-Roy]

Atlanta is getting away with playing pressure defense. But Nate elects to stay in the zone despite the fact that Atlanta is getting hot. Why not try some pressure? Why not try something new?

 

[Darkwebs]

Hawks are too athletic for us

As was already said, we do lead the lead in alley-oop baskets.. but since you aren't seeing them right now it must not be true.

We defiantly turn into a jump shooting team when we can't get LMA involved.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Haha this is going to be a blowout

Every team shoots jumpshots. We gets lots of easy points on alley oops though.

 

[EGame]

Another jump shot when Aldridge seemed to have a good look at as easy 2.

 

[julius]

Que the excuses. they're tired. it's a long season. they're still working in a healthy Camby and Roy, and Wallace still has to get to know the team.

 

[B-Roy]

This zone is maddening. They're giving the Hawks way too much room to work with.

 

[julius]

Content with a .500 road trip. Well done fellas.

 

[Rhal]

Teague is having himself a night vs us. Getting whatever he wants and working both sides of the court.

 

[KingSpeed]

It was reported that we celebrated in the locker room like we won the NCAA tourney after beating the Heat.

 

[EGame]

I understand we lead the league, we do get plenty of all-oops. We also take plenty of jumpshots and that is the reason we go on so many cold spells. If our jump shots drop, we are usually in the game, if not, good night nurse.

 

[Darkwebs]

I'm still waiting for one last run by the Blazers

I'm annoyd that its ALL we play. Zone zone zone zone zone. Its not like we don't know how to actually play defense with a supposedly amazing defensive team so we just play zone

 

[KingSpeed]

I would trade Batum for Teague but Atlanta would probably laugh at us.

That is the case for ALL teams. Make your shots, you win.

 

[MickZagger]

This is hard for me to watch. This calls for a doobie session.

 

[MickZagger]

I remember before the deadline and we were rumored to be interested in Teague. I said the guy is a baller and is going to be good. Most posters on here mocked me.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Apologies to EGame, this team deserves to be ripped in to right now. Pathetic effort.

 

[BBert]

What bothers me is when we get out hustled for rebounds and drubbed in points off turnovers.

 

[KingSpeed]

Everyone on this board wanted a 2-2 trip. Well we got one. Be happy.

 

[KingSpeed]

And 1

 

[Rhal]

Okay i'm done with this game. I just can't stand to watch us play like this. As much as i'v gotten mad at the refs for such a stupidly called game for both sides (especially with letting zaza get away with murder) we just didn't have the will to win these last two games and put on a bad show of it

 

[KingSpeed]

There's the pressure.
