Reasons To Be In A Fowl Mood

Get it? Fowl = Foul. Yeah, it stinks, but that's the best humor you are going to get out of me today. I'm not so melodramatic enough to wear black today, but I admit I picked out some pretty dark shades of grey.

Why am I in such a bad mood? Well, if you have to ask then you missed the game last night and you should count yourself lucky. But for my catharsis, here's the list anyway.

• Paul Pierce's knee has me very, very concerned.
• Rajon Rondo was inconsistent and not aggressive in the first half last night.
• Al Horford is officially back and dangerous.
• After feeling and looking defeated, Joe Johnson and Josh Smith are feeling better about themselves as well.
• Paul Pierce's knee has me very, very concerned.
• That last "play" was excruciating to watch.
• Everyone on this team is tired, not just the hurt guys. Extra rest would have been good.
• Where has healthy/good Stiemsma gone?
• Paul Pierce's knee has me very, very concerned.
• Bradley didn't look limited but wasn't productive on offense either.
• Bass finally showed up on offense, but was a negative 22 in +/- for some reason.
• They had it. They had the game right there to take. Any number of times during that game they could have choked the life out of the Hawks and they didn't do it.
• The last thing you want is to give a younger, athletic team a little bit of confidence and hope.
• Actually, the last thing you want is to give an older, injured team another day of hard work.
• Paul Pierce's knee has me very, very concerned.
