    They are not frauds until they are eliminated IMO.

    Jack is literally Lin. He helped the Hawks win this game just as much as he helped the Nets

    Still wish the worst for the Hawks, I remember how the refs gifted them that game against us, screw em', plus I don't see them advancing past the 2nd round against the Wiz.

    Didn't we used to have DeMarre Carroll?

    Why'd we let him go? Dude's balling!

    I hope you're right. I still can't get over Hawks' wins against Houston (both games) :mad::mad::mad:

    They got the best of us.


    I still don't think they're contenders at the end. They are well-coached and have great pieces, but even the Nets have found ways to take down the alleged best team in basketball.

    If only the Nets would give Brook more touches, he would get his rhythm back. Same with JoeJoe. You have to keep feeding him the ball to keep him interested. I'm surprise Hollins hasn't used Joe to throw the ball to Brook in the post and wait for the double more often. Hate him or not, Joe is still one of the best shooters and scorers in the league. He's had an "off" year, but he's capable of dropping 25 without a problem.

    The key is the misused talent in DWill. If he can put together 2 decent games, the Nets win this thing. The problem is that he doesn't care either way. Brooklyn is his extended-stay hotel for now.

    But, yeah, I'm hoping the Nets "Baron Davis" the Hawks. The Hawks should be grateful for Coach Bud. That man has made role players into superstars because of his Xs and Os of offense and defense. He basically took the Spurs' philosophy of ball movement, high post pick and rolls and a PG who keeps his dribble to make the Hawks an eastern powerhouse.

    When or if they face LeBron, it will show that they have no closer, which we all know is crucial late in the playoffs.

    See: Hakeem, Jordan, Kobe, Barkley, Duncan, LeBron, Wade,Dirk,Durant,AngerBrook etc...

    The Hawks are now looking like a 60 win team.

    What's Hollins doing? Nets were fighting back prompting the Bud to bring back his starters. Now Hollins just emptied the bench.
