Atlanta 97, Portland
91
Portland
has started the season by dropping three of its first five games, and while I
see all sorts of things that need working on, I'm not going to flip out too
much over that bit of disappointment.
This doesn't mean the Trail Blazers don't have a whole lot

... Ball Don’t Lie, Behind the Box Score: OKC’s star was Thabo Sefolosha. Kevin Durant may have dropped 28, but he needed 24 shots to get there and turned the ball over seven times, to say nothing of some iffy shots down the stretch. Thabo harassed Kobe Bryant into a slightly-less-than-awesome game, which is accomplishment enough. Kobe’s been jawing with Thabo for years, and usually he lets these sorts of things get to him. Actually, tonight he let Thabo get to him. But he didn’t let his ...

... first good performance of the season than do I: Welcome back my cuddly Eastern European bruiser of unathleticism awesomeness. At one point in the first half, Zaza was the offense. Seriously. And his defense keyed the whole thing. Zaza can't be your offensive leader if your not getting defensive stops too. Zaza blocked two shots. He played good man to man defense. Protected the rim. Basically, Zaza did what he does best, make me happy.Kelly Dwyer goes Behind the Boxscore: I haven't seen Atlanta play this hard ...
Game reaction: Hawks 97, Blazers 91

... went Omega Swarm and were seemingly at their man before the ball even arrived. That’s good D, but it can be beaten, just not when the Blazers don’t have enough personnel willing to get inside and get to the line (16 free-throw attempts). Some players are attacking, but it has been infrequent and mostly ineffective. The few times they did go inside-out, they earned open jumpers, but so far the theme of the offense remains an overabundance of ball holding, one-on-one, stagnant offense. Kelly Dwyer, Ball Don't Lie: Portland's issue entering this season was defense. It led the ...

Ghosts of Success
The Human Highlight Blog —
... If Kelly Dwyer thought the Hawks really wanted the win earlier this week against the Blazers, then this was the polar opposite, as the Hawks never did anything that resembled what it would have taken to gain a win. They settled for standing around all night forcing shots from the outside and then, when that got boring, they forced inside shots as well. This allowed the Bobcats to feast on a steady diet of run-outs and open looks, and they happily went about doing it. ...
