Hawks desperate for a win? - Let's get this straight.

[WileOut]

I've seen a lot of posts claiming that the:

"Hawks are the desperate for a win"
"The Magic will just finish it off at home"
Etc. Etc.

Did any of you guys watch any of these games?

First of all, the Hawks are not desperate at all - They quit as soon they get down by DD. They have no pride, which they showed in gm 3.

Second, why would the Magic wait till they get home?
Orlando is 100% focused, and they want this game just as much as they wanted game 3.

Third, Howard is playing amazingly these days and the Hawks have no answer for him.

Finally: How is the Hawks going to beat the Magic?
Atlanta is a jump shooting team, and the shots just haven't been falling.
Joe Johnson need to lead his team, and try to hit more than 2/28 from the field.
The thing is that he plays like he doesn't care, and facing a great defense, these guys gotta have their heart into it if they want just the slightest chance of winning it.

And by the way: The line +6.5 for a great home team .. The books are begging for money on the Hawks.

I myself bought in on Orlando yesterday at -5.5, and the way i see this game you should make a play on the Magic or stay away.

Good luck.

The Hawks were winning game 2 IN ORLANDO by double digits until the end of the 3rd quarter when the Magic made a run culminated by a Jameer Nelson 3 pointer from half court to end the 3rd and put the Magic up 1 point on the Hawks. Game 2 was actually a game dominated by the Hawks until the end of the 3rd. I honestly believe if Jameer had not made that halfcourt shot to end the 3rd, Atlanta would have won game 2 and then won game 3 at home.

The Suns game yesterday was a trap too huh?

Clearly this season there are just a few teams that are head and shoulders above the rest. CLE and BOS will be entertaining as they are both upper echelon teams.

That being said ORL by 12 tonight. Hawks actually try a little, LOL.

I think that Hawk players will show pride, if only for themselves. I agree with Goat in that JJ will come out to play for his own selfish reasons. He has put himself in a horrible spot going into FA, but with his play and his mouth. If he can have a monster game tonight, and then again in Orlando he can erase alot of that. But hey, then again he knows the Knicks will always be there for him.

Woodson fired. Johnson declares free agency. NBA moves Hawks out of Atlanta. Any of these scenarios are much more likely than the Hawks showing up and playing tonight. Magic by 40.

Hawks are not this caliber .........

[sjm5122]

The hawks already lost me enough money in Game 3, no way I back those bums tonight.

[tokio]

If they wanted to win they would of won game 3. I dont know why the Hawks would try and win tonight just to lose game 5. All my money is riding on Magics.

MAGIC -6.5 LETS CASH

[Brock Landers]

only way Orlando loses tonight is if they flat out don't try.

[lakerboy]

If hawks cover tonight something is really wrong.
