(We better be awake for this team, rather.)

It figures that Hinrich going down has actually become a bad thing.

Truth is, Teague will get exposed soon enough.

They better be awake for this team. They are good enough to take advantage.

was there a crucial shot that ATL did not hit? reminded me of the pacers series…teams just love to show up vs. CHI.

it also looks like CHI thinks they can play in cruise control and then turn it up when it matters….i’m sorry, but they’re not that type of team yet….if they keep doing that, they’ll be in for a long series.

The Hawks are always a threat to come through with a few games like this. It does hurt that it happened to be the first game of the series – they play better when they feel like things are going their way – but still not too concerned. Wasn’t a blowout, and that should be the peak offensive performance for Atl. this series. Johnson was especially on; he killed multiple 4th quarter runs. He’s a good player, but he isn’t that good – last night was a career-best playoff game for him.

Issues – Rose wasn’t attacking much, particularly in the half-court. He also seemed to be bothered a bit by Atl’s shot-blockers (and/or his ankles); needs to adjust to the new post defenders (go into their bodies instead of of trying to finesse around them like he did against Indy), but he should have that down by game 2. Jump-shooting is still not where it needs to be for everyone not named Luol Deng, who was excellent.

The game last night was beyond flucky. I saw our team look sluggish show signs of wanting to play but also just not have and real fire for the most part D Rose is allowed to have a sub par night DoAll Deng played well, only one bright spot. Korver was off on his shots. the bench overall played ok.
Our coach was out coached last night merly because maybe the focus was diverted from his award and just being in the second round not sure but the team was not hyped like it should of been. I cannot wait til tuesday that is a win or go home game for sure and I know Da Bulls will show up big time this team is not going home but if they don’t show up to play they will be hoing home Joe had a super game not sure he can keep those kinds of numbers up and J crawford also either way way may need to knock each of them around with some hard playoff fouls to let them know its not that easy . None the less wish today was weds and tonight the game was coming on..
