vs. ATL: Opponent Game Thread Highlights

Today’s Opponent Game Thread host: Peachtree Hoops.

Can’t let Marvin get revenge
Still have a shot at the two or three seed. Let’s go Hawks
by Beachy Keen on Feb 27, 2013 7:27 PM EST

Tough game against multitude of Utah big men (Kanter, Jefferson, Favors, Milsap)
Fortunately for us, Marvin plays for them, so the chances of him screwing up are 100% and that in turn gives Hawks a chance to steal one.
by ATLpaul on Feb 27, 2013 7:45 PM EST

This is a tough tough game for Hawks big men
Jefferson is crafty. Favors is my kind of big man. And Kanter hasn’t scratched the surface.
We find out if our big men’s great play of late, can continue
by ATLpaul on Feb 27, 2013 8:54 PM EST

Why in the hell did the Jazz make that trade for Marvin?
by crappybassist96 on Feb 27, 2013 9:00 PM EST

they said they were in need of a SF since josh howard was the best thing they had at the posistion
by Throw on Feb 27, 2013 9:01 PM EST

Would’ve been better off starting Hayward and keeping Harris.
by crappybassist96 on Feb 27, 2013 9:02 PM EST

ssshhhhhhh
by Throw on Feb 27, 2013 9:03 PM EST

revenge game is on
by Throw on Feb 27, 2013 9:11 PM EST

Phuck Marvin made a shot

Dammit Favors is actually good.
by crappybassist96 on Feb 27, 2013 9:13 PM EST

I die to have Favors on Hawks
HE just dont get playing time
by ATLpaul on Feb 27, 2013 9:16 PM EST

Harris is balling
Thank-you Marvin, I knew I could count on you
by ATLpaul on Feb 27, 2013 9:20 PM EST

Al on Al battle is grown man basketball
by ATLpaul on Feb 27, 2013 9:21 PM EST

Al Jefferson is frustrated, you can tell. He’s probably going to keep trying to get fouled
by HawkNestMonster on Feb 27, 2013 9:21 PM EST

As long as Horford doesn’t foul him, i’m cool with that
by BDub18 on Feb 27, 2013 9:21 PM EST

Al might go 20/20 again, at this rate
Wrong Al, though
by Bronn on Feb 27, 2013 9:25 PM EST

So whos Big Al is bigger?
by BDub18 on Feb 27, 2013 9:25 PM EST

Those are both tier 1 players in NBA
I think Al Jefferson is more of a natural low post center style though, which is why IMO he is a good fit for Hawks, assuming no Howard
by ATLpaul on Feb 27, 2013 9:26 PM EST

Two big Al’s? That would be great!
by BDub18 on Feb 27, 2013 9:27 PM EST

All that being said
There may not be anyone in the NBA with post moves better than Jefferson, maybe Gasol and Bynum

Damn, Kanter
by crappybassist96 on Feb 27, 2013 9:30 PM EST

Darn i also take Kanter
Yummy
by ATLpaul on Feb 27, 2013 9:30 PM EST

If the Jazz could find a point guard in the offseason, they’re a solid team even without ‘sap and Al
by crappybassist96 on Feb 27, 2013 9:31 PM EST

damn, jefferson is heating up
by HawkNestMonster on Feb 27, 2013 9:31 PM EST

Wow, nice shot Jefferson
by Bronn on Feb 27, 2013 9:31 PM EST

Someone guard Jefferson please
by BDub18 on Feb 27, 2013 9:33 PM EST

Not sure anyone could guard Jefferson right now.
by crappybassist96 on Feb 27, 2013 9:33 PM EST

I’ve secretly always had a mancrush on Gordon Hayward
by Beachy Keen on Feb 27, 2013 9:37 PM EST

It’s the hair, isn’t it?
by Guantanamo Geronimo on Feb 27, 2013 9:38 PM EST

He’s actually damn good.
by crappybassist96 on Feb 27, 2013 9:38 PM EST

He is sorta dreamy
by a hooter’s baby on Feb 27, 2013 9:38 PM EST

i can’t even hate on gordon, he’s good
by HawkNestMonster on Feb 27, 2013 9:37 PM EST

Surprised to see empty seats at the Delta Center
by a hooter’s baby on Feb 27, 2013 9:46 PM EST

dammit, we’re getting owned
by HawkNestMonster on Feb 27, 2013 9:46 PM EST

of course Marvin is being aggresive today
by Throw on Feb 27, 2013 9:49 PM EST

He only shoots 7 times a game….he’s shot 5 times in 7 minutes tonight
I say let him shoot them out of the game because he’s trying too hard
by Guantanamo Geronimo on Feb 27, 2013 9:50 PM EST

I thought Monroe was a monster….Jefferson is KILLING us
by BDub18 on Feb 27, 2013 9:49 PM EST

I’d love to play the Heat with a Jefferson/Horford front court.
’cause f the Heat.
by crappybassist96 on Feb 27, 2013 9:49 PM EST

honestly i’d rather Jefferson than Dwight
by BDub18 on Feb 27, 2013 9:50 PM EST

Whistle doesn’t work.
by Bronn on Feb 27, 2013 9:52 PM EST

They’re using silent whistles on our end and the real ones on Utah’s end
by Guantanamo Geronimo on Feb 27, 2013 9:53 PM EST

Hey you guys guess what?
by a hooter’s baby on Feb 27, 2013 10:04 PM EST

Al Horford
/giggles
by a hooter’s baby on Feb 27, 2013 10:06 PM EST

lololol
by crappybassist96 on Feb 27, 2013 10:06 PM EST

Ill admit it
I laughed
by Throw on Feb 27, 2013 10:06 PM EST

Well Josh with a great half so far
5 rebounds, 5 assists, 12 points, working towards a triple double
Al hot shooting continues, 7-8
And for grins, Marvin with the lowest +/- of any one on Utah at -13.
The more things change, the more they stay constant
by ATLpaul on Feb 27, 2013 10:12 PM EST

Angry Marvin mustered 6 points.
by crappybassist96 on Feb 27, 2013 10:13 PM EST

by maxxj3 on Feb 27, 2013 10:26 PM EST

Here come the actual good Jazz players
by crappybassist96 on Feb 27, 2013 10:31 PM EST

Heyward is a smooth operator
by ATLpaul on Feb 27, 2013 10:39 PM EST

He he he Josh smells blood
Cat and mouse with Kanter. Kanter, dude, you are not in Turkey any more
by ATLpaul on Feb 27, 2013 10:39 PM EST

Well Kanter like Favors needs playing time
by ATLpaul on Feb 27, 2013 10:40 PM EST

Hayward is a lot better than I expected. I thought he’d be a bust
by atlphillip on Feb 27, 2013 11:00 PM EST

racist
by fsvr54 on Feb 27, 2013 11:05 PM EST

Darn, their crowd is back into it
Have to get Devin Harris back in
by ATLpaul on Feb 27, 2013 11:01 PM EST

The people in Utah always look so weird
by atlphillip on Feb 27, 2013 11:03 PM EST

Constrictive underwear.
by Nique Fan on Feb 27, 2013 11:08 PM EST

Nique is killing me calling game with over 3 minutes to go
by ATLpaul on Feb 27, 2013 11:06 PM EST

He does have premature declaration syndrome
by Evil Dallas on Feb 27, 2013 11:07 PM EST

I dont understand Utah
Why is Jefferson still in there. This is crazy.
by ATLpaul on Feb 27, 2013 11:07 PM EST

I meant Jefferson is clearly hurting
by ATLpaul on Feb 27, 2013 11:09 PM EST

See what you mean
Al Horford had no trouble shaking him.
by Evil Dallas on Feb 27, 2013 11:10 PM EST

Altitude getting to the Jazz.

Why TF did they foul
by atlphillip on Feb 27, 2013 11:13 PM EST

Wanna help Al’s career high.
by crappybassist96 on Feb 27, 2013 11:14 PM EST

Al Horford could impregnate every female in my family right now
by a hooter’s baby on Feb 27, 2013 11:13 PM EST

The Hawks are back
by atlphillip on Feb 27, 2013 11:14 PM EST

Hell yeah!
