Frustrating But Rewarding Play

I love the Hawks, but they're so frustrating because their consistently inconsistent. For every moment of brilliance, there are moments of disaster and you wonder - why do I even support this team because it seems like these people don't even care. They start fast and build a big lead, only to blow them and have to fight to win in the final minutes. Josh Smith's play is representative of the Hawks overall play. He'll have a highlight dunk then follow it with several boneheaded 3-point attempts or ill advised no look passes.

The Hawks play is frustrating and they appear reluctant to take the next step toward NBA greatness, they handled their business this weekend beating the Orlando Magic, 88-84 on Friday and 88-85 on Sunday. I'm often critical of Joe Johnson, but good job making those 4 free throws down the stretch. The Birds held home court advantage at the Highlight Factory and they head back to Orlando to close out the season.
