I only saw the first half, and even then i totally expected the Hawks to comeback and win. For me, this game showed that our bench can hold anyone off when we need to give Harden/Howard a rest. Sure, they couldnt do it for 48 minutes, but they wont ever need to if we are fully healthy. If we get everyone fit for the playoffs, no-one wants to see us.
Great effort, then we completely fell apart. The thing that's most troubling is the horrible entry passes. How can a team of professionals be so poor at this simple play? smh Rockets earned more respect though and a win vs MEM will help ease the pain.
Not only did we have to play against the best team in the East, but we also had to match up with the refereeing. I'm so sick of the BS calls my team has been receiving. What is wrong with the NBA?
I think that, when DMo involved in offence our O just flow, good decitions or points in paint, last nigth was poor shoting nigth for him, but he take only good open shots.. his D we can conpensate with his O every nigth, and if you look all games Rox lost his year usally - lots of missed threes and no paint plays in 4th quater
If they can get back to they way they were playing earlier in the year they will be tough to beatin the playoffs for any team in the East.
So you're saying the refs have been helping the Hawks win all season? This is the 2nd best shooting team in the league from 3(they shot awful last night), 2nd best defensive team and 7th best offensive team in the league. The only team that has a shot against the Hawks in a 7 games series is the Cavs. You talk about how good the West is yet the Hawks are 17-4 against them this year. They haven't been great since the all star break yet they're 5-1 and find ways to win. Sounds like you haven't watched them play much this year.
This was a great game until Atlanta went to Jeff Teague and Denis Schroder together. Hadn't played together all game. They flat-out smoked us in the 4th quarter.
Do you believe 9/11 was an act by our own government too? Atlanta plays with a lot of chemistry and heart. If you're referring to the Refs then you need to look at all these plays as a non bias rocket fan and then you'll see the truth
I understand being frustrated with his play after last night. I was yelling obscenities at my TV after he bricked another 3 but then he ran down the steal on the fast break and I apologized to my TV. He has some solid shooting nights but when he is cold he makes up for it with good defense and hustle. I just wish he wouldn't shoot as often when it isn't his night.
Game changed when we started to slow it down and play in the half court in the 4th quarter. Lead to unimaginative offense, quick rebounds, and fast break opportunities for ATL.
The refs robbed us but we always blow big leads. Been like that since McHale has been the coach. I still don't like him as our coach but I do think he has done a good job with the injuries this year and he had no control over the game last night. We just got robbed.
Well. we will find out about some of those call when the last two minutes report is published. I read the one for Cleveland. Interesting stuff. Three of the incidents were labeled as incorrect.
I would like to blame the refs but I can't when you blow a lead that huge...oh well I really would have loved that win.
