Magic Vs. Hawks: Atlanta's Offense Needs Some Help - FairWeather Report - SB Nation Atlanta
If you'll permit me, I'd like to call your attention to a story I wrote for SB Nation Atlanta about the Hawks' offense against the Orlando Magic so far in their playoff series. Let's not get carried away with Jamal Crawford's brilliance (24 points per game in 31 minutes) just yet.

The only player on ATL's roster which worries me is Josh Smith.
Not because of Josh Smith – who has proven to be lazy on transition defense when he is discouraged – but due to Hedo defending him, as the write-up has eluded to. The way to deal with Josh Smith is to attack him early and get him in foul trouble. If we take ATL’s crowd out of the game – or turn them against the team – by building a good lead early on, we are in for a rout.
They don't have much of a crowd
Orlando Magic. Oregon Ducks. Seattle Mariners. Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fine article and all, but here's my takeaway:
Zero comments from Atlanta fans. Huh? Are comments not allowed, or are they just busy up there working at the Coke factory? What’s up with that Atlanta fan-base? Accent on “base”.
Quite a few Atlanta fans feel that Orlando gets special treatment.
And one fan actually said the “refs got the memo from Mr. Stern” saying “Dwight must advance to next round for the playoff ratings!” feels weird being on the other side of that argument.

You're not on the other side. That's just weird paranoia from a fan.
One memo Mr. Stern will NEVER send is the one this fan mentioned.
where's the game thread????
