OGT Feb 4: Wizards @ Hawks

[hawksdogsbraves]

Hawkfan you're dropping the ball, where's my gamethread?

Got to be a good sign that John Wall's 3 point shooting is the only thing keeping the Wiz in the game :cheers:

[tontoz]

If Wall doesn't get some help this could be ugly again.

[Graviton]

These pretenders ain't shit, just wait for the 4th quarter when John Wall starts airballing wide open jumpers and we stomp them by 20.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Al gives the Wiz bigs absolute fits :applause:

[atljonesbro]

I always find it pretty funny when people say the Wizards are a bad matchup for the Hawks because our bigs "can't match up with their physical bigs". We've pounded them every time we've played.

Who says that? Gortat and Nene are just too slow to keep up.

The bigs who give us trouble are the ones who can move their feet a little bit like Drummond or Davis.

Damn Teague has got it going tonight :cheers:

Everyone says the opposite.. At least wizards fans have said our bigs can't cover the Hawks bigs. They are too mobile. wizards match up horribly with Hawks and have been in a slump on top of that.

I hear that all the time outside of ISH. The Wizards are very popular among casual fans.

What team doesn't have casual fans? I live in Maryland and Im friends and work with tons of wizards fans. I've never heard anyone make these type of comments you are talking about. Most wizards fans with any type of intelligence know we don't match up well with Atlanta, especially vs those mobile bigs who can stretch the floor.

I'm just saying casual fans in general, not specifically Wizards casual fans. Casual fans for whatever reason love the wizards.

[Graviton]

I smell a blowout, WIzards too soft. Teague will close this one out.

[atljonesbro]

The Wizards haven't missed a single shot this quarter. This isn't sustainable what so ever. Expect a Hawks run out the time out.

Fair enough, although I wouldn't be valuing casual fans opinions :lol:

[hawksdogsbraves]

Wiz playing well this quarter, this game is playing out so far just like the last time we played Washington where we jumped out to a big lead and they came back to make it tight in the 3rd. In that game we got hot and blew it back open though, hopefully that happens again.

[tontoz]

Wall a one man show tonight.

[Relinquish]

Beal :lol

[Relinquish]

Pero flop :oldlol:

[Relinquish]

Wall :bowdown: :applause:

[hawksdogsbraves]

Ugh man Wall is killing us right now :facepalm

[scott0326]

Wall is putting the team on his back tonight

[RoundMoundOfReb]

this feels like a playoff game

[hawkfan]

this feels like a playoff game

Yep.
The best four teams in the East are the Hawks, Raptors, Wizards and Bulls.

[ralph_i_el]

This game:eek: I don't even know what to say. I'm trapped in a glass case of emotion.
Korver is 1-6 from 3 and his impact off the ball is still huge. I've essentially just been watching him when the Hawks are on O. He's got the definition of "Gravity"

[Relinquish]

Wilkins said Porter can't score :roll:

[hawkfan]

Hawks missing too many free throws.

[atljonesbro]

Missing so many easy shots, were not even playing that bad just gotta knock those down. We should be up by about 8-10

[scott0326]

Otto Porter and Temple are playing so bad

[Relinquish]

Nique saying Porter isn't a very good shooter. What an idiot :facepalm

To be fair he has played awful tonight.

[scott0326]

I know Butler has been struggling as has Webster, but is Temple really a better option? He's so useless

[hawksdogsbraves]

Nique saying Porter isn't a very good shooter. What an idiot :facepalm

To be fair he has played awful tonight.

I haven't seen much of Porter but he sure doesn't look like a very good shooter :confusedshrug:

[Relinquish]

I haven't seen much of Porter but he sure doesn't look like a very good shooter :confusedshrug:

42% from three in college and 36% on the year. :confusedshrug:

[hawksdogsbraves]

Alright bench let's get this lead back :applause:

I really think we have an advantage here, granted Wall is still in.

[scott0326]

Wizards bench has been so ****ing horrible tonight

[tontoz]

I haven't seen much of Porter but he sure doesn't look like a very good shooter :confusedshrug:


On the season it has been pretty good.

[hawksdogsbraves]

42% from three in college and 36% on the year. :confusedshrug:

Ah well, I guess he wasn't the number 3 overall pick for nothing then :cheers:

[hawksdogsbraves]

Leaving 8 points at the line already is not a good look...

[hawkfan]

Awful free throw shooting by the Hawks.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Wow what a fake by Millsap :applause:

[atljonesbro]

Mike Scott just ended this game.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Oh my GOD MIKE SCOTT :eek:

[hawkfan]

Wall could get a triple double tonight.
Also very efficient shooting.
He is getting better and better.

[scott0326]

This performance by the bench has been absolutely pathetic. Temple is complete shit. Porter, Humphries and Seraphin can't make a shot.

[hawkfan]

Our bench is terrific tonight.
The Hawks might have the best bench in the entire league.
27 points tonight.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Go hit the showers Bradley, there's no coming back from that one :oldlol:

[hawkfan]

This performance by the bench has been absolutely pathetic. Temple is complete shit. Porter, Humphries and Seraphin can't make a shot.

Any trade talk to get some help?

[Relinquish]

Pierce didn't touch him wtf. :facepalm

[hawkfan]

Porter is 1 for 7.
Not good enough.

[scott0326]

Any trade talk to get some help?
Only rumor I've heard recently is they are interested in signing Will Bynum

[Relinquish]

Porter is 1 for 7.
Not good enough.

One of his worst games of the year.

[hawkfan]

One of his worst games of the year.

That's the way to beat the Wizards - cover everyone else and let him shoot.

[hawkfan]

The Wizards are talented, Wall is becoming an excellent point guard, but this team will go nowhere relying on Porter. Dude is deadweight.

[tontoz]

The bench is 3-19 from the field.:facepalm

[Relinquish]

That's the way to beat the Wizards - cover everyone else and let him shoot.

He's like our 8th guy, relax with the trolling bud.

[Relinquish]

At least both Brad and John are playing well tonight, which for some reason is often a rarity.

[scott0326]

Porter has been good this year, he is just having a bad night. The wizards desperately need another guard though. I guess Miller isn't playing anymore and Temple is beyond shit

[hawkfan]

He's like our 8th guy, relax with the trolling bud.

It's not trolling.
Pierce is at the end of his career. He shouldn't be relied on to score.
Porter is a former no. 3 pick.

A former number 3 pick in the worst draft of all time. :confusedshrug:

Also, we have Durant aspirations.

[Graviton]

Another easy win over a pretender, Hawks keep on rolling. :cheers:

Everyone is a pretender against the Hawks. :lol

[Graviton]

Everyone is a pretender against the Hawks. :lol
Best team in the league baby, haters stay salty. :applause:

[hawksdogsbraves]

Good game Wiz fans :cheers:

Can't wait for Friday, hope you guys have your tickets already because it's gonna be damned hard to find one :applause:

[scott0326]

Why does Butler not play anymore? Is temple really a better option in Whitmans opinion?

[Relinquish]

Best team in the league baby, haters stay salty. :applause:

No one is hating, we are just acknowledging. :confusedshrug:

[Graviton]

No one is hating, we are just acknowledging. :confusedshrug:
Good of you to recognize greatness, bow down and lick our feathers. :rockon:

[Relinquish]

Why does Butler not play anymore? Is temple really a better option in Whitmans opinion?

Because Butler has shot Kobe's percentage in his last 15 or so games.

[scott0326]

Because Butler has shot Kobe's percentage in his last 15 or so games.
Temple has shot kobe percentages his whole entire career

[tontoz]

Shame to waste such a strong game from Wall. He is a bit hobbled and sick but is still bringing it.

Teague still outplayed him lol.
