    Oh my, what an ending.

    It's games like that where you look at a team and you know that no matter how far down they are, they just won't quit.

    That the Hawks even got it to a tie after being 21 down with 8 minutes left to go just shows how much heart some teams have no matter how rough a game they're having.

    If I was a Hawks fan, the loss would suck and I wouldn't be happy with the performance but I sure wouldn't be ashamed of the team.

    Hawks look like the biggest frauds in the NBA.

    Agreed.

    The Hawks are definitely struggling but it's mostly on the shooting end. They still get a good number of open shots, but nobody has been hitting them this series.

    They're still playing pretty solid defense, but if they don't start hitting their shots soon the team is going to be in deep water.

    I'd say the Rockets are the biggest frauds. We knew what to expect from the Hawks in the playoffs. They don't have any superstars.

    Hawks came into the playoffs overachieving. Not Frauds at all, at least they came back and fought back. I keep being told it's all on the players to fight and give effort, yet the coach turned to his bench and oh look at that gave his team a shot to win it.

    They also need only have really 2-3 players who can create their own shot (Teague, Schroder, and Horford).

    Now you listen here, you bandwagon fraudulent piece of extrement. YOU have no place whatsoever at all to say **** about our team. You're the absolute worst type of fan- your loyalty is worth about as much as a toy surprise in the bottom of a Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch box- and us Rockets fans have been there through the good and bad - heck, we know more about Shareef Abdur-Rahim and Big Country Reeves than you ever will. So, you understand this- there is not one sentence, not one word, not one syllable of anything you ever say that will be worth anything ever at all on this site. Ever.

    BTW, it's "beat the freaking Clippers..., you illiterate tool.

    I am confident that I speak for a large majority of the posters on here when I say:

    I reject your rep outright. Getting rep from you is like being forced to root for the Dallas Mavericks while eating okra out of a bowl of cockroach dung as I'm being tortured inside a crocodile tube in the middle of the Tennessee Titans' football field on April 15.
