So it's no coincidence the run came. We played big for much of the game and to go away from that really made the difference. We got away with that in game one and at home.jonesppphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955404057770135702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-40747211297040005112011-05-11T18:49:32.321-04:002011-05-11T18:49:32.321-04:00you're missing the point...No matter how we sl...you're missing the point...No matter how we slice it we had a better chance with Zaza or Collins on the floor. Zaza went out went out with 10 minutes to go and that's exactly when Chicago went on their 10 minute run. Then Larry Drew promptly gave up at 1:17 down 12 by bringing in the bench. LD had options whether they had the best +/- or not.jonesppphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955404057770135702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-23905252077818790542011-05-11T12:02:29.424-04:002011-05-11T12:02:29.424-04:00I really think Teague's inexperience running t...I really think Teague's inexperience running this team reared its head at the most inopportune time last night. He was too content to give Joe and Jamal the ball and just let the play develop, or rather not develop. By the time he realized this wasn't a good idea, it was too late. He was and has been the Hawks most consistent player in this series. Also, Al, Joe and Jamal have to play better. Two All Stars and a former 6th Man of the year should be contributing more.CoCohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580418511916359036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-60913508257093279232011-05-11T10:58:02.722-04:002011-05-11T10:58:02.722-04:00i agree with everthing you said but would like to ...i agree with everthing you said but would like to add that it seemed like everytime we took the lead the refs would call a cheap foul on the hawks.eleven more freethrows attempted killed us.we need jamal to start scoring some to have a chance to win this series..imowesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984536218171691204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-59147652427617966952011-05-11T09:41:42.727-04:002011-05-11T09:41:42.727-04:00Jamal Crawford is simply awful if he's not con...Jamal Crawford is simply awful if he's not contributing points.

Six-game defeat of 52-win team in first round, two games taken (at minimum) off of 62-win, league overall No. 1 team in the second? Over the past 23 seasons, this is it, and only 1994 is even close to my thinking.<br /><br />So I'm trying really hard to be grateful and not think about how much better, how much more fun this team is to watch--even in defeat--with Teague at the point. <br /><br />To Hawk_Luv's point, if I had the slightest bit of faith that Drew would be replaced with a coach of greater standing (and salary), I'd agree.Jerry Hinnenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097537044668238939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-29825216170261694722011-05-11T00:34:22.401-04:002011-05-11T00:34:22.401-04:00what happened to Teague is simply a fireable offen...what happened to Teague is simply a fireable offense to me.

Even when things go right, there is some incompetence being exposed.<br /><br />But... at least we'll now get to see Teague as the Hawks' regular point guard next season, right? (Gulp)<br /><br />The game killed me tonight. I really thought there was a chance after that 3rd quarter. But the ball stopped in that 4th quarter, and whether the Hawks lost their energy or not, we have seen that kind of offensive display--and the coach's inexplicable reliance on 3 guard sets--to blame it all on "the juice."Adam Malkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906845916098689970noreply@blogger.com
