Tough Loss, But Still Time To Accomplish Goals In Miami

One game. When the Hawks blew the Heat out in Game 1 of this series by a 90-64 final, they still only led 1-0. And after tonight's 107-78 defeat at the hands of D-Wade and company, Atlanta still only trails by 1 game as the series heads to Game 4 on Monday.

It was a tough night for Atlanta - everything I can think of that could have gone right for Miami did (Wade was hot, O'Neal continued his time machine act, the crowd was into it the whole game), and everything that could have gone wrong for Atlanta (Joe and Bibby had tough shooting nights, Marvin was hurt and couldn't play, etc) did as well.

But the bottom line is, this series is not over. It's silly to cry over spilled milk, honestly. If the Hawks come back and win Game 4, then homecourt is restored and we go back to Atlanta looking at a best 2-3 with two games at Philips Arena.

Having said that, tonight was bad, and the Hawks need to examine all alternatives available to them to try to get this thing back on track. Miami deserves a lot of credit for how they played tonight - they were tough, they were energetic, and they dictated what they wanted to happen on both sides of the court.

Let's put this one behind us and focus on Monday. We came here to get one, and we still can.
