GT: Pistons vs. Hawks - 1.19.15

[hawkfan]

Detroit looks to continue to win to get into the playoffs.
Atlanta looks to continue to win to be no. 1 in the East.

Should be a tough battle. Detroit always gives Atlanta a tough time with the two bigs they have.

[StephHamann]

Go Hawks

Actually, being completely honest, we have demolished Detroit in both games. The second game was a blow out, despite the score. I'm not being a homer, I'm just saying we completely shut down their offense.

[jayfan]

Revenge. Sweet revenge.

Better be!


Deeetroit Basketbaaaaall! :cheers:

[SugarHill]

Let's go Detroit. Fvck the Hawks :coleman:

[atljonesbro]

If the Hawks play like they did last time it should be a blow out. The pistons last game just started jacking up bad threes towards the end and they just started falling to get them back in it. I doubt they'll be able to do that again if we play like we did last time.

[hawkfan]

Gonna be good.
On ESPN.
The Hawks are the featured team on MLK Day, of course.

:applause:

[magnax1]

Really guys, when are we going to start talking about whether the hawks are the best team ever???

[r0drig0lac]

Hawks is on another level compared to the rest of the east

[hawksdogsbraves]

If they can't hit 3's at a really high rate they can't come close to us. Their offense is too shitty to keep up.

[bdreason]

Killing me Jennings.

[r0drig0lac]

AD with 8/11 :eek:

[cruthikai352]

I'm seeing nothing special from the Hawks right now

[beastee]

Just curious, how is the crowd? This is a team on a 12 game winning streak and a holiday day game. If they didn't sell out or fill it up...:facepalm

[hawkfan]

Our defense is good.
Our offense is not good.

[aj1987]

Link?

Doesn't look bad, but it's not full either.

Why are you so concerned with this? You actually don't really care, you're just looking for a reason to knock the hawks I feel like.

[hawkfan]

Terrible shooting by both teams.

[IMObjective]

this game's kinda ugly

[hawkfan]

this game's kinda ugly

Offensively both teams are way off.

[beastee]

Why are you so concerned with this? You actually don't really care, you're just looking for a reason to knock the hawks I feel like.
I live in Atlanta metro and was just wondering. If I didn't have to work, I would have gone. But it IS a reason to smh if they didnt sell out. People NEED to support this team.

[IMObjective]

Offensively both teams are way off.
Drummond with 13 boards at the half because of that.

[hawkfan]

Drummond with 13 boards at the half because of that.

He usually kills us.

[jayfan]

If they can't hit 3's at a really high rate they can't come close to us. Their offense is too shitty to keep up.

4 for 16, and only down 3 at the half. :confusedshrug:



.

[alanLA92]

4 for 16, and only down 3 at the half. :confusedshrug:



.

Getting ALOT of offensive rebounds.

[atljonesbro]

Not really to nervous. Our defense is obviously way too much for Detroit as shown by the last couple games. Were going to pull away from them next half

[jayfan]

Getting ALOT of offense rebounds.

He should have factored that into his equation.

[Bobcats2013]

Why are you so concerned with this? You actually don't really care, you're just looking for a reason to knock the hawks I feel like.

Crowd energy make games better.

[atljonesbro]

The Pistons don't wanna defend. Were missing wide open shots

[hawkfan]

The Pistons don't wanna defend. Were missing wide open shots

Horrible offense today.

[Rake2204]

I'd like to see Drummond cross over at some point into treating himself like the giant mass of human that he is. He tends to fall down pretty easily, seemingly as a means of drawing attention to a foul he believes has been committed. A Kyle Korver hack shouldn't make him hit the deck.

[atljonesbro]

Another missed wide open 3. I'm convinced this game will be a blow out for Atlanta when they wake up and hit shots

[hawkfan]

Shooting by both teams is wretched.
Afternoon games - rhythms are off.

yes, stop flopping, channel shaq

[atljonesbro]

Just curious, how is the crowd? This is a team on a 12 game winning streak and a holiday day game. If they didn't sell out or fill it up...:facepalm
There you go, sell out crowd. How many on a row is that now? You can stop acting like they don't et fans to the game now because they obviously have.

[hawksdogsbraves]

God damn we look like shit, can't hit a shot to save our lives :facepalm

Luckily Detroit can't either or they'd be killing us.

[atljonesbro]

This is the most abysmal game I've seen the Hawks play in a long time. Absolutely pathetic. Detroit should be ashamed to be losing

[Proctor]

How do Hawks fans feel about Antic? It's nice to have a center with his skill set but I can't watch this guy. Dude is an absolute f**king stiff out there. Besides the fact he all too often likes to pass up wide open looks, he moves like he has a 2x4 in his ass.

Agreed. He'll start to garner a reputation if he doesn't cut that crap out of his game.

[Eric Cartman]

Can someone send me a stream?

Thanks in advance.

He's just a big body who we need to body up the bigs on opposing teams.

[hawkfan]

Mike Scott has been great today.

Drummond is killing us.

He's a solid shooter a fantastic team defender. That's about it though. If you look at his advanced stats defensively they're quite good.

[Eric Cartman]

Hack a Drummond.

[PsychoBe]

korver has to be the greatest shooter i have ever seen.

[Rake2204]

What an impressive triple by Kyle Korver. Very quick catch & release. Well done - not much that can be done defensively to stop it.

[navy]

Korver best spot up shooter of all time. Just needs a Ray Allen/Reggie Miller playoff performance to cement it.

[atljonesbro]

Korver best spot up shooter of all time. Just needs a Ray Allen/Reggie Miller playoff performance to cement it.
He's not a "spot up" shooter though.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Really a pretty bad shooter though tbh

Keeps defenses a little bit honest at least.

[hawkfan]

Detroit has 17 more rebounds. Getting clobbered.

[Proctor]

:bowdown: :bowdown:

[Proctor]

That's been my impression of him as well. That, and he's a big body. Not a bad thing to have but he is so hard to watch sometimes.

[navy]

He's not a "spot up" shooter though.
Neither is Ray Allen or reggie Miller if you to want to act like that. And they've shown more than Korver.

[hawkfan]

We need Bargnani.

[navy]

We need Bargnani.
Stop. He's was a scrub before injury.

[Eric Cartman]

This would be an absolutely fantastic first round matchup.

[hawkfan]

Mike Scott with 16.

[Real14]

Korver and teague needs to come to the knicks.

[atljonesbro]

Just chucking again. Contested 3s all day. Were way better than this team

[Eric Cartman]

Team looks lost offensively without Jennings.

[hawkfan]

Korver and teague needs to come to the knicks.

How about Millsap, Carroll and Horford?

[navy]

Team looks lost offensively without Jennings.
Who would have thought. :wtf:

[atljonesbro]

Neither is Ray Allen or reggie Miller if you to want to act like that. And they've shown more than Korver.
Why are you being so hostile? He's not a spot up shooter. Spot
Up would mean they stand in 1 spot. Neither is Allen or Miller. I'm not sure how you could confuse any of them with being a spot up shooter.

[Rake2204]

Just chucking again. Contested 3s all day. Were way better than this teamThey've been getting some pretty clean, squared-up looks over the last portion of this game, aside from KCP's pull. I'm not sure I'd qualify that as chucking.

[Eric Cartman]

Who would have thought. :wtf:

Felt dirty just typing it.

[hawkfan]

They've been getting some pretty clean looks over the last portion of this game, aside from KCP's pull. I'm not sure I'd qualify that as chucking.

If Drummond made his free throws, this game would be different.

[Rake2204]

If Drummond made his free throws, this game would be different.I'd honestly be pretty cool if Drummond could make, like, 58% of his free throws. Alas, that's not him.

[Real14]

How about Millsap, Carroll and Horford?
Idk but we definitely need teague and korver most definitely.

[hawksdogsbraves]

There you go Baze :applause:

If we can just knock down a couple more open shots we'll end this.

[Real14]

Pistons gotta play better defense

[jayfan]

Terrible no-call on Monroe there. 5 point swing.


.

[hawkfan]

Idk but we definitely need teague and korver most definitely.

How about if you take our whole team?

[hawkfan]

There you go Baze :applause:

If we can just knock down a couple more open shots we'll end this.

If either team shot even ok, they would win.

[Real14]

How about if you take our whole team?
:rolleyes:

[hawksdogsbraves]

The Pistons are getting real good at flopping huh?

[Real14]

The Pistons are getting real good at flopping huh?
No excuses.

[hawksdogsbraves]

No excuses.

Excuse for what? Just an observation.

[Eric Cartman]

Horrible defense.

[hawkfan]

18 offensive rebounds by the Pistons.

[beastee]

No way can you get this outrebounded in the playoffs and win a 7 game series. Hawks need another big.

[atljonesbro]

You're really trying EVERYTHING to discredit them. The Heat were pathetic rebounding team. This will be the only time all year this happens.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Why isn't SVG playing Drummond down the stretch? Is he just scared of us hacking him?

We're actually getting boards now and it's allowing us to pull away :confusedshrug:

Not discrediting them...speaking the truth. It is the only major weakness your team has.

[hawkfan]

Drummond is a Hawk killer on the boards.
If he made his free throws, he'd be the best center in the league.

[Hotlantadude81]

No way can you get this outrebounded in the playoffs and win a 7 game series. Hawks need another big.

Most likely it's the Bulls that would only present a problem.

I don't see teams like Cleveland, Toronto, Bucks or any of those teams being a big problem on the boards. Not to this extreme.

[atljonesbro]

Not discrediting them...speaking the truth. It is the only major weakness your team has.
You're tying to push your bulls agenda. The Hawks are better it's been proven, and no blanket "7 game series" statement will change that. They have to actually do something to prove so.

[hawkfan]

Agreed. Also...this team (Pistons) that they very well could play in the first round.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Just really don't get SVG's strategy down the stretch here.

[atljonesbro]

Most likely it's the Bulls that would only present a problem.

I don't see teams like Cleveland, Toronto, Bucks or any of those teams being a big problem on the boards. Not to this extreme.
Don't enable him, he's tryingn to discretely push his bulls agenda.

[hawkfan]

Mike Scott with 20.

:applause:

[hawksdogsbraves]

Agreed. Also...this team that very well could play in the first round.

They'd be a tough first round matchup but they don't have the firepower to stay with us. We're about to beat them for a third time and we played pretty awful today.

[Fudge]

"Listen to that crowd"

*****, what crowd? :roll:

[Milbuck]

Crowd starts "cheering", Hawks turnover.

Classic Hawks.

Hawks are definitely for real though. Honestly they're probably coming out of the East.

[beastee]

They'd be a tough first round matchup but they don't have the firepower to stay with us. We're about to beat them for a third time and we played pretty awful today.
Yeah. Bruising first round, but you guys are too good to lose in the first round.

[hawkfan]

14 more assists by the Hawks.

[Hotlantadude81]

Still win by double figures despite getting out rebounded by 20.

[Hotlantadude81]

Go away.

NOPE.

Let someone else make the game threads. Stevie Wonder could do a better job of it than you.

[Richesly]

[hawkfan]

Go away loser.
Start your own game threads.
You're pathetic.

[Milbuck]

Lmao at the Hawks fans drama. Get your shit together. You guys are finally contenders.

Hotatlantadude is the worst.
Dude trolls the Hawksfor years. Now the team is good, so he's going after me.
Dude is fake too - calls Millsap by the name of Millcrap.

When you're critical of the team you will not being able to win with idiots such as yourself. If I support the team now then I'm the bandwagon fan... If I continue to be critical of them I will be the "hater".

So, there is no way to win with homers.

I have high standards and I will applaud the team when they live up to them and I will shit on them when they don't.

[Rake2204]

At least one neat fact to hang on to for Pistons fans: Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe nearly outrebounded the Hawks by themselves. Atlanta had 42 boards. Drummond and Monroe: 38.

Also, I don't think Drummond played in the fourth quarter, did he?

[Droid101]

The Hawks are the best defensive team in the league. People seem to not notice this but it's true. That alone can anchor a deep playoff run
Golden State has the best D in the league by far.

Atlanta has the 6th best defense. Still good.

Haven't really been watching the games, but Monroe's been putting in work for my fantasy team. Do you think he's gonna be a long-term piece for Detroit?

I like all Hawk fans, we gotta stick together

[Rake2204]

Haven't really been watching the games, but Monroe's been putting in work for my fantasy team. Do you think he's gonna be a long-term piece for Detroit?I think it'll depend how the rest of the season shapes up. That, and what Greg's asking price reveals itself to be. The inclination from this previous postseason seems to be that he'll be asking for a boatload of money. He's good, but I don't know if I'd call him great. Even if the Pistons finish strong, I could see him pricing the Pistons out.
