My only problem is the Hawks are not a team, they are just a bunch of players put together. They have no offensive sets. Their main play is isolation Joe Johnson, followed by isolation Mike Bibby, followed by isolation Josh Smith. I must admit at least it worked in the regular season, but please that stuff is not going to work on the Cavs or any other team left in the playoffs that can play reasonable defense. Even while watching the game today, I was willing to bet someone on the Hawks was going to get injured, and BAM - Joe Johnson, ankle injury. It wasn’t like Johnson was doing anything in the game up till that point anyways. He had more than 5 inches on Delonte West and still refused to post him up. So now, Atlanta fans can say, "Hey we would have taken the series to at least 5 games if Johnson played."
Now to their big off-season signing, Josh Smith. He literally ran into the lane and just threw up his hands every time (similar to what LeBron James does with the powder before tip-off). Josh Smith thought this move would get some calls from the refs. I got some news for you, Josh Smith…YOU SUCK!! That means no pity calls - you’re not D-Wade, LeBron, Paul Pierce, or Kobe Bryant.
I have a suggestion that might make this series a bit more entertaining. I say Lebron James should either sit out the entire series or whenever one team gets a lead of more than 20 points, he has to play for the opposing squad. Remember when we were kids and the best player was so much better than the rest? It was only fun if he helped out both squads or if he didn’t play. ALL TIME QB! It may be far-fetched, but this is the NBA, where amazing happens, right?
