Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread
Lakers shot the ball terribly bad and Philly played great. There ain't much else to say about that game.
They have to trust Nash to make the right play down the stretch. You can't have Metta taking twos with a foot on the line with 18 on the shotclock and a hand in his face. It shoudn't happen.
We should see screen & roll after screen & roll late in the 4th. It's unstoppable.
Defense wasn't too bad I thought. Philly made everything, Hawes made everything, they played great.
I kinda see where Kobe is coming from though, I think he's talking about himself when he says 'We're old as ****'. I think last night he really felt tired and felt like he coudn't take over to help the team. It showed to me, he looked tired. 5 years ago he probably wins that game. Though he doesn't have to. You have Steve Nash and Pau and Dwight. Let them do their thing, run some offense.Last edited by Vni; 01-02-2013, 04:37 PM.Comment

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread
I just don't see the Hawks on the same level as the top teams, regardless of their record. Golden State as well. So people can talk about them, but if they're predicting those teams to have playoff success I'd have to disagree.Comment

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread
People can enjoy a team but I also think you have to do more than just look at Wins and Losses to tell if a team good or not.
I haven't watched the Hawks at all this year but what's the difference between this team and previous Hawks teams?#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread
Al Horford is playing out of his mind.. Teague has developed nicely and Smith is still producing his usual statline.
Other than that I haven't seen anything from them that I should be excited about. The only thing I can say is that the East is wide open outside of Miami, so anything can happen in a sense. It's really a crap shoot out there.
What exactly should people be saying about them that they aren't already?Comment

Actually ESPN had the Hawks 3rd in their projections this year, and everyone was emailing them thinking it was a misprint...so they did get some love, even from big bad ESPN.
I don't really understand the definition of "no one is talking about them" They are absolutely not going to be the opening segment on any show, but I've heard a good bit of analysts give them their due...Comment

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread
Regardless of what steelersfreak meant, I just ask what he would like people to say. Does anyone think they are a team to be reckoned with? I don't think so. Does anyone think they are a team people should be on the look out for? I don't think so. OK so what do you want people to say about them exactly.
They have an All-Star caliber front court [we already knew that] and a decent point guard and a hot 3 point shooter. That's all great but what else is there to say. I don't think they scare anyone at all or pique anyone's interest. If they did, people would be talking about them more. Simple stuff.Comment

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread
All I'm saying is they're for sure a hell of a lot better than some teams that get talked about constantly (Lakers, Nets, Bulls, hell even the Mavericks) and compared to that I never see anything about them on ESPN, they're NEVER on TV, they're just not in the conversation is all I'm saying. I don't get NBATV so maybe those guys talk about them but I haven't heard much from the ESPN or TNT guys.NFL: Pittsburgh Steelers
NBA: Dallas Mavericks
MLB: Texas Rangers
NHL: Dallas Stars
NCAA: Alabama Crimson Tide
University of North Texas '14

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread
I don't know what SF means by it, but when I used it in talking about the Grizzlies a few weeks back, I meant it in terms of TV analysts and guys in bball forums and that I talk to on a regular basis throughout the course of my day. When the topic comes up, who do you think is going to win the Finals or even be in the Finals. Memphis, nor the Clippers' names were brought up in the discussion by these people. The answers I've heard then and continue to hear is people talking about the WCFs coming down to the Lakers and Thunder and out East being Miami and a rock because everybody says nobody can beat Miami now that they've won a ring.
Of course talking about the two seconds of pub they get on the sports shows and highlight reels is also to be included. While that is nothing new as 23 says, it's still sad and frankly ridiculous that some teams are teams that can do some legit damage come playoff time, but nobody is talking about them at all. That being said, I don't think Atlanta is one of those teams, so I haven't talked about them at all.Comment

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread
The Bulls? Nobody talks about us this year lol. The only time the Bulls get talked about is when they update Derrick Rose's progress. Talking about the Bulls for the ESPNs of the world went out the window with Derrick's knee last year.Comment

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread
They're not in conversation for a reason. Lakers, Nets all had high expectations coming in and have floundered. That's news.
The Hawks winning 20 regular season games through December? Cool, I suppose. Now if they go into All-Star break killing teams and getting a top 2 record I guarantee people will talk about them. As far as them not being on T.V., well I don't blame anyone for that especially if people want good ratings.
At this point there isn't much to say on them, as I asked, what do you want people to say about themComment
