Ballin’: Any Room on the Hawks Bandwagon?
NBA December 27th. 2007, 10:01am
When D Wade is getting undressed by flash-in-the-pan, all-I-can-do-is-jump guys like Louis Williams, you know it’s time to avoid talking about the Heat for a minute. Poor D Wade. Just get healthy, man.
Atlanta 107, Indiana 95 – Too late to hop on the Hawks bandwagon? Yeah, we want on. All five starters in double figures and the Landlord brought 10 and 10 off the bench. We do wish they would go back to these radical jerseys, though. Wonder what Jamaal Tinsley’s bodyguard thought of the rout?
Orlando 110, New York 96 – Isiah, you got it all wrong – Eddy Curry should be coming off the bench, not Zach Randolph. Either way, this team still plays no defense. The Magic shot 53 percent from the field, and Hedo the All-Star went for 26-6-6 and Rashard Lewis added 25 as Orlando improved to 19-11, keeping the hot Hawks at bay.
San Antonio 94, Chicago 79 – Tim Duncan shoots 2-for-9 and Manu Ginobili misses the game with a finger injury, so you figure the Bulls have a shot, right? Yup, and Susan Ward (SFW, barely) is begging us to take her out. Amazingly, the sorry Bulls are only 2.5 games out of the 8th playoff spot! Ha! Would love to see them sneak in and take down the Orlando Magic in the first round.
Utah 99, Dallas 90 – Rarely do you see a 16-0 run to start the game. It was a hole the Mavs never were able to crawl out of. Carlos Boozer led everyone with 21, and including a late flurry to improve the Jazz to 10-2 in Dennis Rodman’s favorite city.
Boston 89, Sacramento 69 – Golfer chick Natalie Gulbis was at the game and received a bigger ovation than Dustin Pedroia of the Red Sox. On the court this was never close, and it won’t be when the Celtics are shooting 11-for-22 from three.

I caught some of that Minnesota/Golden State game on NBA TV and was shocked to see the entire Timberwolves bench standing and hanging on every basket like they were a college team.
It was actually quite refreshing to see in the meaningless NBA regular season.

I would like to point out that I’ve been driving the Hawks bandwagon for sometime now. And no, I’m not a delusional fan…I’m realistic. They are a good team, and they’re VERY exciting to watch. The NBA is going to be pissed the rest of this year when they deprive a national audience of seeing the Hawks play ONE game…that’s right. Not even one game is nationally televised–until they make the playoffs, of course. It’s an exciting team to watch…great defense, quick pace, amazing athletes. Just a fun group of guys. Thank god for FSN South.

Considering that fans in Atlanta do not sell out home playoff games for the Braves I would imagine that the Hawks bandwagon has plenty of seats available, maybe even some Big Front Seats

Celtics also went on a 33-5 run to close out the first half… thats tough to come back from.

I agree about the Hawks unis. Those oldschool unis from the Nique and Spud days are badass, especially the Pacman-esque character they had for a while.

I’ll get on the Hawks train when my ride on the Golden State express stops being fun . . . only in the basketball sense of course.

Thank you for the reminder of the legendary Susan Ward. I had forgetten about her completely since her noted appearances in Shallow Hal and Wild Things 2. She could definitely contend for a spot in my all-time Top 10.
