What does everyone think about Eddy Curry, he wants to be traded. Do you think that he would blend in good with Atlanta? I heard he is out of shape or hurt, i was just thinking of the big body that would come off the bench.
On Cleveland Tuesday and Wednesday Night;
We have to come correct. Defense, Defense, Defense. Let leBron be lebron and stop the rest of the team. Take charges and be aggressive. Marvin has to step up, and Mo has to play a perfect game off the bench. TAKE THE BALL TO THE HOLE, DON’T SETTLE FOR JUMPERS. GET THEM IN FOUL TROUBLE EARLY AND REMEMBER THE PLAYOFFS.

Joe Johson, please find another site to post nonsense b/c this blog is for TRUE FANS. ThatGuy, if you can’t find a good reason that Atlanta needs Lebron besides bringing in fans, please refrain from posting nonsense as well. That loss to Denver had NOTHING to do w/ Lebron not being on the team. They cleary was inconsisent on offense and didn’t play defense on the guy that was hot. They were so focused on stopping Carmelo that the role players had great games, which is not the recipe for winning. You contain the star and shut down the role players, that’s how you win ballgames, and the Hawks did not do that against the Nuggets.

These back-to-back games against the Cavs will be a true test for the Hawks, as both teams are playing great basketball. I think we should use our bigs (Zaza, Randolph, and Collins) to put Shaq at the line and as Tony stated, use Horford and Josh to use their quickness against their bigs to get their bigs in foul trouble. Marvin needs to step up to the plate for these next couple of games to contain Lebron, although we all know that Lebron will get his, which is why team defense is needed for these games.

The Hawks have the better team top to bottom and are more athletic. If they play defense the way they know they can, the Hawks will win these ball games.

I agree Hawksfanman. The hawks better bring their A-game against Cleveland. Cleveland frontcourt is extremely big and they could do a lot of damage against our much smaller frontcourt. Here’s what I think we must do to defeat Cleveland.

1)Josh and Al should use there quickness and versatility to create havoc against their BIGS. We must crash the boards. I believe whoever wins the rebound battle wins the game.

2)Our players need to know when they’re in a shooting slump. Get the ball to your high percentage shooters. Assists = points.

3)Harrass the heck out of LeBron from start to finish. Make him earn every point.

4)Play smart fundamental basketball. Don’t allow the referees to determine the outcome of the game. Be wise and keep your heads on.

The Cleveland Game on Tuesday is a test, i think the hawks really could win but we just neeed all the parts to work, Joes gotta have about a thirty point game with some rebs and assists, and jamal cant be to far behind Mo Evans and teauge have got to knock down those threes we need em, Josh Al and Pachulia, need to do what they do, just stay out of foul trouble and knoock down open shots, and Marvin needs to stay aggressive and knock down those open threes hes fond of missing, and the team as a whole need to make free throws if we do all of that Cleveland wont have a chance

How about you explain why we need LeBron James. The problem with this team is inconsistency on the offensive side of the ball. You got guys shooting the ball when they’re ice cold and not looking for they’re hot shooters. Jamaal was hot last night but his teammate weren’t getting the ball to him as often as Denver were getting the ball to J.R. Smith. Denver knew who their hot man was and they defeated the hawks by getting the ball to him. Someone need to remind the hawks that Jamaal Crawford can score 50 points on any given night. They shouldn’t expect Jamaal to score that many points every night, but they sure as hll should get the ball to him when he’s shooting a high % and when everyone else is ice cold.

J.Johnson shot(FG)5-12 417% (3P)2-6 .333% M.Bibby shot(FG)2-
8 .250% (3P)0-2 .000% Marvin Williams shot(FG)5-11 .455% (3P)1-3 .333% Josh Smith shot 5-11 .455%.

Jamaal Crawford and Al Horford were hot! J.Crawford shot(FG)9-15 .600% (3P)4-7 .571% Al Horford shot(FG)7-9 .778%

J.R. Smith shot(FG)15-25 .600% (3P)10-17 .588% That young man hurt us because his teammate recognized that he was shooting a high percentage and they kept going to him until they defeated us.

We need to stop forcing bad shots and start looking for players who are open and always recognize who is shooting a high percentage on that particular night. If they do this they will be be fine.
