Getting in a running match with the Washington Wizards is probably not the best idea. The key to beating the Wizards is slowing down the pace, our team isn't that succesful in full sets.</p>
Well, the Hawks in my mind, can run with the Wizards. Both have athletic line-ups that can play up tempo. Also, the Hawks aren't that great in half court sets either, so they need to run or they will be in some trouble. Mike Woodson isn't a good enough coach to draw up good half court sets that a rookie like Acie Law can play in to. Nothing that he does will play in to the strengths of the Hawks, so running helps.</p>
Did they disappointed me today! no passion what so ever! How does Acie only play 14minutes, what wrong with you Woody!</p> </p> </p>
