Horford giving Boozer all sorts of trouble. That was a nice block by Smith at the rim.

Truer words have never been spoken, Horford's going to own the glass all series. Boozer gives it one shot and if he doesn't get the rebound he bows out. Wilkins going to work after seeing no time in the last series like Teague.

Stupid foul by Horford ..he was about to come out for a rest ...

I didn't expect Teague to have this team under control.

If Josh Smith adopted Noah's mentality and tried to focus less on offense and more on defense/rebounding on a consistent level the Hawks would be that much more dangerous but I get the feeling he's always going to want to be "the guy" on a team full of guys who can already fill that role and fill it up.

Me neither, especially riding the pine to start the playoffs. Tbh, I haven't seen him play much since coming to the league but his game looks disciplined (at least to start) which the Hawks need because they're always 1 bad shot away from 5-6-7-8 more bad shot in a row.

Horford and Noah were UF teammates - meaning Noah won't go off. Wouldn't surprise me if Horford has a monster series against Noah and Carlos "turf toe" Boozer.

Rose once again with horrible shooting, if he makes one everybody will say how good he is... 8 for 22: "He is so good!" 11 for 30: "MVP is here" 7 for 25: "Unstoppable"

That was the case the whole season!

Hawks in 6, finally ending the overrating of Rose/Bulls...

[NewJerSpur]

I'm guessing we're going to see Asik more in this series with the trees the Bulls will have to navigate around the rim.

[NewJerSpur]

Bad shot by Watson, had more time on the clock.

[NewJerSpur]

Jeff Teague doing work.

Teague preventing the And 1

Man I would my ass off it that happened. To me it depends on Boozer. He is their low post thread. If his turf toe flairs up, they're ed. I don't give a if Rose goes off for 30ppg.

Won't happen though. The Bulls will take out the Hype if the Celtics don't.

LMAO @ Iso D. Wilkins

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, Watson's still conscious, lol.

[NewJerSpur]

CJ Watson.

[NewJerSpur]

Collins "the enforcer" doing work.

[Cuckolded Sissy]

reffin so far

[NewJerSpur]

Bad shot by Crawford.....and so it begins, nice block by Gibson. Hawks don't want this to turn into a close game. Going to have to go back to milking the clock and moving the ball in the halfcourt imo because their transition offense (outside of the alleyoops to Josh Smith) can be a bit suspect.

[Spur-Addict]

Horford/Zaza with two fouls a piece before the second quarter.

[Spur-Addict]

Brewer playing excellent D on Crawford and Johnson

[NewJerSpur]

Hawks going small due to the foul trouble is hurting right now.

Boozer as a number 2 was never good...

[Spur-Addict]

Have to respect the impact Collins is making on both ends of the court

[NewJerSpur]

Collins has played some of the best basketball I've seen him play these playoffs stemming from his work on Howard in the last season. Not scared to pull the trigger either.
