After reading other posts I must have. I saw a hell of a good game today in Philadelphia, did anyone else watch it?
You should have seen it! The announcers and the BT crew were enjoying the piss out of it as well. The Hawks played a legit top 25 team and it was like 4 points either way the majority of the game with like 40 lead changes! Despite starting 2 freshmen, 2 sophomores and 1 junior, and still finding their way after losing their rock, JBO for the season, they nearly pulled it out. Oh and get this, they also lost starter CJF at the half!
Sure there were things in this game they could have done better, especially near the end, and they would have actually pulled out the W. You know, the stuff the happens to teams all the time in close losses. And where we really needed JBO. But wow, what a fun game for a Hawk fan to watch as their Team fought to retake the lead time and time again. I remember thinking at one point these guys really play together well and understand the game with some of the things they do compared to past teams. I really enjoy watching this team.
One last thing this game was HUGE for JT going forward. He finally got some shots to fall and his confidence and game are going to take a big step after this one. GREAT to see him can his free throws as freshman at the end of a tight road game! Good to see as JBO is sorely missed there.
The HAWKS play again Tuesday for anyone that "didn't see them play" their asses off today. I love this TEAM and this season is and will continue to be a blast! I gotta go back to a George Raveling quote when Roy, BJ, and Eddie were freshmen. "These other teams better enjoy their licks now..."
