Hawks scoreless after 1 in Boston. Action was up and down the ice. Hawks continue to extend Boston offensive possessions by failing to clear the puck. I have to watch other teams more specifically, but it feels like the Hawks constantly make idiotic decisions with the puck inside the opponents offensive zone. I have no idea why they can't clear the puck when they have possession and space in front of them.

Yes. Yea that's kinda weird. I don't think it makes you a bad Cubs fan, but people really need to drop this notion that their intentionall fielding mediocre teams, and the only way that we as fans can knock some sense into them is with tough love and stop going to the games. That's not my belief though. I just want them to drop the ticket prices. I respect whatever price they charge for tickets, but for my own personal greed, I'd like to not have to pay $80 for bleacher seats to some games. -
Pierce is acceptable. He used to be my favorite star in the NBA and that 01-02 Celtics squad that battled wife beating Jason Kidd was one of my favorite non-Bulls team ever. I even went to 4 playoff games that year. And then something called Kevin Garnett came along and all the sudden Pierce turned into the wheelchair toting fool he is today.

Thats perfectly fine. People were dying to turn on Sammy anyways.

Am I a bad Cubs fan that I almost want to see noticeably empty rows of seats during opening day? I am thinking every radio station in Chicago will be holding contests giving away tickets to Fridays game the next couple of days. -
No, they haven't. For a guy who handles the ball as much as him, it's very good. He has a better turnover ratio than both Wade and LeBron, even with his high usage rate (2nd in the NBA behind Kobe, who only turns it over slightly less). I have high expectations, mainly because it seems like he has more "dumb" turnovers than those guys. Are you mocking the type of arguments that you normally feast on?

Don't you remember tree's girlfriend that he treated like crap and forced off the board forever? Controversey was her name. -
? Because of the TOs? He's had a solid game other than that. Free throw shooting is absolutely killing us. Yeah if you don't count his 22 turnovers, dude [expletive] owned it Agreed. 10 TOs is inexcusible and cannot be considered a good game because of that. That said, being a top 15 (out of 64) PG in TO rate is nothing to sneeze at, so I'm willing to overlook a stinker like this. BTW, 64/64 in TO rate for PGs.....Chris Duhon.

8/20= 40% /nitpicky

Ugh....we just can't get over that 4-8 point hump. Time is starting to become a factor.
-
I want 2 points tomorrow, but I will not at all be mad if we only get 1.
-
THATS A BLACKHAWKS WINNER AND 2 POINTS!!!!!!
-
Phew, a point. Detroit definitely outplayed us that period, so I'll definitely take the point. Lets win it in OT!
-
I dont think they desperately need 2. If they get 1 today and 2 tomorrow they are in great shape. Obviously 2 points would help us a ton though
-
please please get us a point or better
-
Clear the puck you morons!
-
No interest in a critical Hawks game? Hawks up 2-1 after 2.....
-
I think you are underrated the 76ers. They have gone 34-22 since their awful 3-14 start to the season. So for the last 56 games, they have have played a 50 win team. They are basically Atlanta in terms of how good their team is. Should be beating them? Of course. But is it a disgrace to lose to them? Nah.
-
Given what we've seen this year, no. I think Philly is too good a team to blow a start like this. I'm hoping to be proven wrong. Not a huge deal if we lose this though. I mean yeah it will hurt our #1 seed chances, but its not the end of the world. Boston is in a dog fight with Indy at the moment
-
15 minutes of penalties in the first 17 minutes of the game, not including the 10 minute game misconduct
-
Sweet, we kill a penalty and commit another literally 10 seconds later.
-
Jesus, what a dumb [expletive] penalty by Kopetzky. That wasn't even close to staying in play.
-
I missed the first 10 minutes...what happened?

Did you just decide to randomly start the thread 4 days in advance? Not that it's a big deal, but how are they handling game thread starters this year? I'm guessing it's every man for himself at this point. I miss Laura.
