    Harden has to make 50pts to win.

    Ariza is a fool.

    Kobe would kill ariza.

    That's on Ariza. He should give up his paycheck tonight. That dude isn't that good to go beating this team by himself like he did tonight. At some point put Beverly on him. At least Beverly will get in his face.

    i finally get to watch some basketball and i turn this game on with 2 minutes to go in the 3rd and it seems like the most ho-hum, no energy game ever. we're cruising, we go up 20, the hawks have no life, and then WHAT. THE. ****.!!! i mean seriously. the hawks just out of nowhere decide that tim hardaway literally can't miss a shot, is throwing up crap that goes in, is dunking like crazy. that's one of the most out of nowhere comebacks i've ever seen. a team with no energy led by a player who had 10 points in the first 39 minutes. and a team with 97 points manages to score 11 points the rest of the way.

    one of the most inexplicable things i've ever seen. i was even thinking up 20 that we had it, but we would probably let them back in just enough to have to put harden in. right on cue, a 6-0 run. but harden seemed to restore order immediately and then it just went of ****ing crap. we couldn't score, couldn't shoot, couldn't guard. seemed flustered like they were the better team. just unbelievably embarrassing. a 36-11 ****ing run right in our face. and on national tv. wow.

    That was the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen on the basketball court. If Steph Curry did it I'd believe it, but for Tim Hardaway Jr to turn into an MVP for 5 minutes is truly insane.

    Wilson Chandler would be a upgrade over Ariza. Dude jacks way too many contested 3s and can't dribble or drive to save his life. If you're not open, Pass the ****ing ball. There are better shooters on the team who are wide open.

    Why do they always avoid passing to Ryan Anderson? He's the only person that can shoot.

    If Morey doesn't think this team needs some upgrades. He's dead wrong. Honestly this is a really frustrating loss. Right now I wanna smash my tv with a bat. This team has had relapses defensively. We need to get another defensive big man and/or wing. Backup PG would also be nice. Good win by Dwight and the Hawks. On to the next game.

    Harden created a ton of open looks for guys and they just laid brick after brick.

    Folks you just saw history! A free mason initiation live on tv!

    This is soo deserved...got blown out by the Hawks bench and Dwight after we where up 18 with 6/7 minutes to go...

    No defense whatsoever, bad shot after bad shot, no timeouts when needed...that was absolutely disgusting and embarassing, a bunch of p*****s.

    Night ruined.

    The play that changed the momentum was Nene passing to Brewer for an airball 3. After that, downhill.

    The fact that Harden had 41 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds while still losing just shows how bad the rest of the team is playing in January.

    Ariza, Anderson & Dekker were complete trash. WHY ISN'T HARRELL GETTING MINUTES.

    People still in denial of how much this team sucks. No, it's not one of those games again; no, we're are not in a 'mini-slump'; this team just straight up stinks right now, and would get obliterated in the 1st round of the playoffs. No more pathetic excuses, make some damn trade or consider this season to be over.
