    We generally play better against top teams. Because when we face worse teams, we tend to play down to their level.

    In our past 10 games, we've won every time Dwight had an even number of free throw attempts, and lost when he had an odd number. Clearly a highly significant stat, so I'm hoping for an even number of free throw attempts for Dwight.

    Not doing that again. Last time he revoked the job offer after looking at the 11th game back.

    starting to be more worried about playing crappy teams than halfway decent/good teams.

    This team is young, and there energy level fluctuates like such.

    Team gets hyped for the big games and plays really well. Not so much against the bottom feeders. Good thing the playoffs are filled with good teams LOL.

    No excuse for losing this game since the Hawks do not have Horford.

    Basically the team needs to play the first quarter with the same intensity as the third against the Lakers.

    Play with purpose, get some good looks, defend and rebound.

    Korver didn't play last game. He might have a field day with all the open looks he will get.

    Well Bill Simmons and Jalen Rose called us in the one trade away tier and the Hawks in the fool's gold tier. Yawn. Milsap is gonna rip Terrence Jones a new one. Just watch.

    I hope Howard will hit them hard. A big game against his home town would be great.
    Go Rockets!

    No more excuses, just come out and play focus in the 1st quarter. Get the road trip off to a great start and get this W.

    Clearly "And1"s and 3pt shots from Howard are the problems.

    PG had a bit of an off night, and Lance Stephenson didn't play.

    However -- Antic is one of those big men who can step out and shoot effectively from the perimeter... those types have given Dwight some trouble this year.
