A Tough Loss, But A Good Road Trip Nonetheless

Not the result we wanted last night, no doubt, but overall, it's hard to
be unhappy with a 2-1 road trip. The defense, after playing well for the
previous four games, couldn't get stops when they needed in the second half and
gave up big games to Vince Carter (39 points), Richard Jefferson (33 points),
and Devin Harris (26 points).
You know, Hawks fans complain about the frustration of watching their team underachieve, but I tell ya - I can't imagine being a Nets fan right now. How is that team 29-39 with that kind of talent? Vince Carter was a world-beater last night, and no matter what we tried, we couldn't seem to stop him. So how come he doesn't do that more often? I still like our chances of beating New Jersey out for the final playoff spot, but if VC would play like that in every game they'd be pretty hard to stop. So, the Hawks come home to face Orlando Saturday night at Philips, and with New Jersey hosting Denver on Friday, we'll either be a half-game up or a half-game out on the playoff race come tip off.
