    JVG says you can't hound Tmac about not getting out of the first round anymore. Mark Jackson says 'You can't even say that w/ a straight face.' JVG responds, 'Hey, that's my guy!'

    What an utterly abysmal performance from the Hawks. They were never even in this one. It doesn't help that Al Horford and Marvin Williams (out with a sore wrist. A SORE WRIST! IN A CONTRACT YEAR?!?!) didn't play. Still, there's no excuse for this type of beatdown.

    Nice to see Mo Taylor, er...I mean Michael Beasley, show up tonight.

    Go Heat!

    Wade is phenomenal!

    I want to see a Wade v LBJ scoring duel.

    It's going to be a tough pill for the loser on Sunday, especially the Hawks. After their pathetic behavior in game 5 and Josh Smith's idiocy in game 6, the pressure is on them to come through at home. If they lose and Smith has a terrible game, there will be recriminations. Then again, I don't know how passionate people are about the Hawks and maybe nobody cares. JJ is another guy that needs to step up to the plate as this series reflects poorly on him.

    At first I wanted the Heat to win because of Wade. Then I wanted the Hawks to win because they would "challenge" the Cavs more (HA HA!). Now I want the Heat to win game 7 because I dislike the Hawks.

    Yes, but now I'm curious to see what happens. D. Wade will be ready to play, will anybody else on the court?

    That's understandable. I like Wade too, I just get sick of his antics after a while. Plus, this Miami team is so unspeakably bad. It's frustrating as a Hawks fan seeing them struggle like this against weaker competition. It doesn't help that Marvin Williams, in particular, is pansying it through the playoffs with his "sore wrist". They need Horford back for game 7 too. Solomon Jones starting in a playoff game is the equivalent of us starting Joey Dorsey -- it's that bad.

    Should be another physical game. I expect the Hawks to win but given the unpredictability of this series, who knows what will happen? I do agree JJ needs to step up and play the "closer" role. He'll have to carry this team on his back if they are going to hold off the Wade attacks plus whatever contributions Miami gets from their flaky big men.

    it would be a horrific blow if ATL blows it in front of Home crowd, worst thing to do is get eliminated in front of Home crowd.

    Pachulia is a one man wrecking crew today.

    That should have been a 3 and 1 by JJ.

    Zaza looks so much like Rocky Balboa. Especially with the black eye.

    Joe Johnson from south carolina on that shot. :eek:
