Orlando lives and dies by their threes, but tonight they died with it despite of a monster game from Dwight.
Fortunately for the Hawks, Jamal Crawford decides to throw the dagger and discard Larry Drew's "prevent offense" that had allowed the Magic back into the game.
Yeah that was a "We're winning it our way" shot lol. Crawford's a chucker, but I liked it cuz it shows Hawks aren't going to have fear
This is a great win by the Hawks, but this series is far from over. I still don't think Atlanta has the mental toughness to win a series against a good team.
Larry Drew had a great gameplan today...hopefully it will work for three more games. Great job Hawks. SVG is in panic mode now.
Way to go Hawks!!! Do it 3 more times and Howard will be on his way out of Orlando sooner than later!
his fg% was off that series. but defense? our defense was not even close to the reason why we lost that series brother, but it's easy to pin defense on tmac i guess. nevertheless, seeing howard playing by himself by his lonesome out there is pathetic. these guys are all NBA players. playing with a superstar should make your life easier and yet they couldn't do jack. it was a disgraceful performance. role players are important. one guy can't win a game by himself. what howard did tonight was similar to what lebron did in the playoffs 2 years ago. i wish howard gets eliminated in the first round, gets pissed off, and leave orlando. and morey needs to start stalking him ASAP and do whatever it takes to get howard here.
It is extremely easy to pin many things on Tracy, and he absolutely deserves a solid amount of pinning. His insistence to settle for jumpers in that series was maddening. He could have used Clyde Drexler's brain, which would have included a ruthless, hard, pityless, consistent rim attack. That said, I know that his talent is/was one of a kind. I can't for the life of me figure out how Kobe has had a better career. He is completely inferior to Tracy when Tracy has/had his head on straight. Fortunately, basketball ability is based on much, much more than natural talent. 10000 hours/1000 hours... What could have been.
let it go my wise one. it's over with. the point is dwight howard will be leaving the magic soon. morey needs to get on it ASAP. this kind of performance should rid of all those proclamations that: one guy can do it all. 46 and 19 points? what more do you want from a guy? but hey, people could point out his 8 tos and bad ft shooting if he could, dwight should slap every one of his teammates upside the damn head with brute force.
Howard's dominance is hurting his team. It's a quandary. Howard scores so easily that you have to give him the ball. But his teammates are unable to get any rhythm. Of course, it remains to be seen whether ATL's jumpshooting will last throughout the series. ORL's perimeter defense is non-existent.
Not watching game not broadcasted but Wow I thought Orlando was going to come on firing after a humiliating loss .. With every game lost Dwight Howard is closer to the 2012 free agency
