Hawks Explode In First Playoff Game with the Heat
It wasn’t pretty for the Miami Heat in Game 1 of the NBA playoffs. The Atlanta Hawks wasted no time sending a message to Dwayne Wade and the Miami Heat. It must have been tough for Pat Riley and his wife to sit and watch their team getting blown out by the boys from the ATL Sunday Night.
The Atlanta Hawks were led by their superstar Josh Smith. His incredible energy throughout the game, gave the fans something to cheer about in Atlanta and this team hasn’t looked this good all year long. Josh is a baller and he can play and he showed the rest of the NBA what they will have to deal with when they play the Atlanta Hawks in the playoffs this year.
Many are now taking notes as the Hawks raised a lot of eyebrows on Sunday Night at Philips Arena. The Hawks do have enough quality players around Josh Smith to win it all this year. He may just lead the Hawks to an NBA championship this year. This is Josh Smith’s team and it’s all up to him to see how far this team can go on his shoulders. He has got all the tools for an NBA superstar and Dwayne Wade showed none of these tools or skills Sunday Night in Atlanta.
Now You Know!
The Hawks won 90 to 64 and held the Miami Heat to a franchise playoff low in points. The Highlight Factory is only getting started in Atlanta and more exciting NBA action to come at Philips Arena. Josh Smith led all scorers with 23 points Sunday and Wade had 19 points to lead the Heat. Wade must quit pouting and step up his game or this series is only going to get longer for the Miami Heat. They will have at least 3 more games to try and figure out Josh Smith and the Atlanta Hawks.
Zaza Pachulia led the Hawks bench with 10 points and his name got mispronounced by the national TV crew doing the game for TNT Sports. Its ok they don’t know who we are yet and their all in a big shock as the Atlanta Hawks are taking action in the 2009 NBA playoffs. Is there any NBA team that can stop the Hawks? This will be answered in the coming weeks, but I don’t see any NBA team stopping them this year. The 2009 Hawks are for real and you guys in the national media may want to learn a thing or two about our team. Learning how to say the names would be a good first step and don’t think you understand our coach either. He does things the hard way all the time and Marvin Williams leaving the game early after being the top player for the Hawks is how Mike Woodson coaches. He has set agendas and don’t take game action into consideration when making moves during the game. Now You Know!
Game 2 in Atlanta on Wednesday and the tip will be 8PM EST. Let’s get the Highlight Factory juiced again to watch Josh Smith and the Atlanta Hawks play ball with Dwayne Wade and the Miami Heat.
