We're gonna get murdered...

It sure feels like it, lol, but the Heat aren't the only ones on a 3 game losing streak. Should be a heck of an ugly game, though I doubt anyone's going to get blown out... although we do have a history of blowout Ws and Ls with them......... Do you remember the last close game against these guys? :lol:

I'm loving this game so far. Great energy out there. Defensive rotations are superb. Beasley is hot to start the first quarter, and Wade is really looking good out there. He's rediscovering that lean mean scoring machine Riley was talking about earlier this season.

wtf is going on with the Hawks? That's 4 straight now.

Good question man. I turned the game off when I saw how badly we we're getting out-rebounded. Bad thing is that our schedule doesn't get much easier. Aside, from the game vs. the Nets on Wednesday, we have a pretty tough upcoming schedule.

 

These are the games I wish they would just put Teague in because he's actually fun to watch.

LOL, I love how every game the Heat play the Hawks, SOMEONE gets blown out. :lol: It's like whoever has the lead within the first 5 minutes is pretty much guaranteed to win the game.

 

 

I didn't watch the game earlier this year where the Hawks beat the Heat by 15, but at the beginning of the year, I had a hard time imagining the Hawks as a good team, and this game continues to make me believe that. In the summer, I thought the Hawks might even be out of the playoff race. Just looking at their roster, with an undersized center, a limited and immature PF, an underdeveloped SF, an old PG, and a selfish sixth man... it was just hard to make me see these guys as a good team.

 

I think it has a lot to do with the coaching. My first impression of Mike Woodson was that he was a bad coach. Now I actually think he's underrated. The ball movement of the team to start the game looked very good, which I think is how they usually played this year. He's helped Josh Smith mature into a better overall player, and his BPG may put him in talks for DPotY. I'm pretty sure their team defense is normally much stronger than this.

 

 

Nevertheless, I still expect the Hawks' record to drop this year. I predicted earlier that the Hawks would have a worse record than the Heat by mid to end of January. I knew they were about to have a 4 game losing streak. They should probably lose around 4 or 5 of their next 6, and I think the Heat is going to have a pretty strong winning streak around the corner despite a reasonably tough schedule themselves.

 

The Hawks' record may eventually wind up being challenged by the Raptors, like CF said.

We just aren't consistent, like half of the teams in the NBA right now. Some nights we come to play and others it's almost like we don't even care. It's really annoying because you just don't know which Hawks team will come to play.

 

I just hope that Joe ends up staying in Atlanta. If we lost I'd be pretty mad because it would take another 2-3 years to get back to where we're at now.
