The Hawks are not a team to be overlooked. Many people don't give them enough credit for how good of a team they actually are since Josh Smith went down and the lack of his presence really hurt the team. As much as I like the Rockets, I'm not going to be a homer on this one and be a realist. Even with good play a win will be very difficult to come by.
We responded to the Wizards' loss with an even worse one. You think we have the mentality to beat the Hawks right now? We haven't faced an "above .500" team since the Jazz. We better not get manhandled tonight like we did yesterday, or I guarantee you, something will be done by Morey and/or Adelman.
this team is in deep shiit right now. i expect another painful loss. just hope it will be a bless in disguise in the end.

That was a team that overachieved, had character, had will, played every game like it was their last, and lol Tmac was a superstar, as quoted by Bill Worrell. All looks hopeless for now, but I for one still believe in this team.
Man, that was so tough to read. I'm on day 3 of my resolution and I swear I should've picked a different season to quit smoking cigs.
Seriously, what the hell happened to us? I just don't get it. Could that guy that wears #1 on his jersey be the reason for all this? Could it? Bueller? Anybody? (all questions rhetoric in print, BUT I really want to know someday)
Chronicle said that Tracy might play tonight. I hope that he does not, unless he really cleans up his acts, which is highly unlikely. The problem is when he plays lazy, it really affects the entire team.
Hopefully that candyazz does sit, then the Rox have a chance as long as Yao dominates, which I think he might, and Ron shows up with his defense. Brooks Wafer will need good games as well. Rick you trick , you better play Wafer!
And what? We can win, even should. But right now I don't see us winning this one... unless Tracy shows up. It is sad.
