Well alright, that was fun. It is always fun to play a bottom-feeding team in the division because you know you should win, but that's also sometimes the trick that doesn't treat too, I won't say the Bobcats cannot beat the Hawks, especially with the aquisition of Boris Diaw and Raja Bell for them, that actually makes their team better balanced talent-wise, so their gameplay should improve slightly, but they will still be a bottom-feeder.
The Hawks allowed the new-look Bobcats to win the 1st 2 quarters of the first half, then Hawks defense cranked up, and showed why they will be a tough match for the Boston Celtics on ESPN Wednesday. After only scoring 10 points in the 1st half, Joe Johnson turned it up offensively to finish with 28 pts (11/18 FGs 2/6 3pt FGs 4/5 FTs) 5 rbs 8 asts, Joe is truely one of the NBA's best clutch players. Josh Smith was great in this game, staying in his game scoring 15 pts (6/11 FGs 1/2 3pt FGs 2/4 FTs) 7 rbs 5 blks 2 asts, Al Horford is staying true to his nickname "THE BOSS" and owning the paint, scoring 12 pts (6/12 FGs) 14 rbs 5 asts 2 blks, and Mike Bibby was good and average, despite missing all 5 three point attempts and no free throws in this game, he scored 14 pts ( 7/15 FGs) 3 rbs 6 asts. Marvin Williams had an unimpactful game, in 34 minutes scoring 6 pts (2/4 FGs 0/2 3pt FGs 2/2 FTs) 6 rbs 2 asts.
Next up, the great Boston Celtics (23-2), if any team can break their streak, its us.
