What the f*** happened? Seriously, this is absolutely pathetic. I hate our effort, and I hate Bibby and Smith. Put in Walker and Giddens so they finally have a purpose, taking out those asshats.

Best post I've read in awhile...amen!

no excuse to allow a 29 point quarter....

What a block by JR

[Scott]

Well at least the lead is down to single digits

[Drucci]

Nice D there in the final minute. 7-0 run. Not bad.

Before that, not so good.

But I heard we deserve to lose by 30 for that bad stretch we had, so I guess it's a game.

I was going to post that Doc had to sit the starters after the Smith alley-oop and then the C's went on a run... win or loss tonight, you know Doc is going to run the starters till the end now. Hopefully for a win?

if they dont increase the energy level, grab some F'n rebounds and play defense...it will soon be back up to double.

Not sure that's the kind of language you're going to want to use in such situations :p

Without PP's 3, we would be down 20 easy.
Killed their momentum.

If we don't see Scal the C's have a chance and I could lose all my TPs. If Scal comes in, the Hawks win for sure.

the effort in the third quarter was poor....they keep playing like that they deserve to lose. they slept walked

I'll hand you a tp, just so you won't lose them all

Hawks are second best offense in the league: it was bound to happen. We weathered that storm and now have a good chance in this fourth quarter.

Our D is not the problem. It is the turnovers. TO's have been the sole issue with this team since we became contenders 3 years ago.

Second to worst TO% in the league.

[celticinorlando]

and another turnover 

[Kiorrik]

Rondo there looked like he was about to go and take over.

Let's have it.

not sure i like this unit with the game teetering on staying in or getting blown out
