1st Half of Game 5

They are playing the game the way they need to. Control the tempo, take
care of the little things, play a solid fundamental team. Force the young
Hawks to play a way they're not ready to play.

This looks like the C's team that dominated the regular season.

Let's hope that Game 4 was the wake up call. The second half will give us a
hint. 24 more minutes tonight, 48 more in Game 6.

Very good effort. Now they need to continue on.

Still bugs me Doc is not showing Tony the respect he deserves. This may
make it more difficult for the C's to sign him come the summer.


Were you at the game texting this message? Or, did you watch the game
elsewhere?

I'd like to keep TA too, but it's not a terribly big deal if he goes
elsewhere.

To Charlie...Ummmm, no. Unless someone else really wants TA, and swoops in
with a REAL BIG OFFER (which I do not see happening), it's really going to
be a matter of if the C's want to keep him. I think they do.

JK...Seeing as how he is the teams best perimeter defender (being able to
cover some 1's, pretty much all 2's and a lot of 3's), if offensively gifted
WHEN HE IS HEALTHY, is pretty good insurance should either PP or RA get
hurt, and just entering the prime of his career, it would be a problem if he
left. Not Earth shattering, but a problem.

Charlie...I was at home. I'm...*ahem*..."distributing the opportunity to
see the C's in the playoffs" until the ECF and the Finals. Such is my faith
that they'll get there.

Yes, a problem. But not one that couldn't be addressed elsewhere if
necessary.

Tony definitely has a place guarding JJ in this series, but man he caused a
5-6 point swing with knuckleheaded plays, airballing an illadvised three
and fouling JJ on the 3 right afterwards. Soon after that I thought he
chucked a place neatly out of bounds like used to be his trademark, but I
was surprised to see that the Hawks had deflected it??

A lot of this has got to be rust though. Still, I won't get that worked up
whether he stays or goes this summer.
