    I don't think Atlanta's problem is lack of a superstar, I think it's a lack of ball-handling. When you have guys like Marvin Williams and Josh Smith playing on the wings, there's no way you can expect to consistently break down a defense off the dribble.

    The Hawks have put themselves in great position it would be a shame if they dont take advantage of it .. And teams who do that is the first away game and capitalize hardly ever recover after

    Johnson is playing the best game of his bad season but Jeff teague has been surprising on both ends

    If there were ever a time for that legendary Derrick Rose, "look in his eye" and "will to win" game, it's this one. Atlanta is getting a lot of bounces their way, I think their quick trigger and decision making can still bite them this game.

    What a game by much maligned Joe Johnson.

    Sure looks like it, regardless of what happens this game or the series. The Bulls maxed out in the regular season and their weaknesses are being magnified in the playoffs.

    I don't know if I can use this thread as a sample size to the number of people watching the game

    well their missing out cause its been a great game everybody thought the Bulls will win this easily but to me today its more about how good the Hawks are playing than how bad Rose is

    all hawks are doing is isolated either johnson or crawford and it's working.

    And I was called a crackhead for saying I wouldn't be shocked if the Hawks made the ECF back in the 1st round.

    Even though I had them losing to Orlando and now I have them losing to Chicago ;)

    Courtney Lee would have brought tremendous help to D. Rose in this game - defending the perimeter and knocking down open shots.

    Any team with Boozer is destined to fall apart before the conference finals.
