Quote: Way too nervous Missing layups.... Yup - they're very tight.

Doesn't sound good. Quote: Williams, who was hurt in the fourth quarter of a win Friday night, took part in a walkthrough at Philips Arena on Saturday before the team departed for Boston. But his knee was iced and heavily taped, and he didn't even attempt to bend it during the light, 30-minute workout. "It's pretty sore right now," said Williams, who led the Hawks with 18 points in Game 6. "As of right now, the trainers list me as doubtful. I'll do the best I can to get as much treatment as I can and see if I can play tomorrow."

No Suspensions.

Boris Diaw are the only players to have more than one triple-double this year. I'm just sayin...

790the zone hearing rumors. They say it will happen this week.

Quote: sigh... Diaw is doing nothing more in Phoenix than he did in Atlanta. He's not playing harder (well, maybe a little, cuz he's a soft necked puss) and he's not any better. The difference is that he has experienced players around him, the reigning MVP running the team and they have enough shooters they don't really care if he only shoots 4 shots per game. All they ask him to do is play a little defense, reboud and pass the ball to the guys who are better than him, so they can make shots. When he cried to the media while in Atlanta, that's what he begged for. He wanted to "be able to use his all-around game" which is an excuse for being a puss who can't shoot and doesn't want to work on his shooting enough to help improve the team. In Phoenix he got his ultimate wish and got put in the perfect situation for his balanced but otherwise limited skillset. Please Chillz - the facts speak otherwise. Boris had 17 points on Wednesday. He has 13 in the first half-tonight! HE WAS THE SUNS LEADING SCORER IN THE FIRST HALF TONIGHT!!!! Diaw is proof that our coaching SUCKS! Back when the trade went down, the guys at that phoenix board were all saying that their coaches would teach him to shoot and teach him their system and as long as he had the skills he'd be fine. And they were right. He was never coached here, just like all these young'uns we have aren't being coached now. FIRE WOODSON!!

I don't necessarily like his announcing skills. In fact I dislike them. But I like what he says. He's basketball smart, which is why he's always been one of my favorite Hawks.

Cool - I saw you - should have figured it was a Squawker.

Why is he the first sub to come in off the bench? The guy stinks. He's rotten. He's "ME ME ME ME ME ME" There's no 'team' when he's on the floor.

The New Hawks!

There - I said it.

I do happen to think he's right that if we hadn't done the deal and just signed JJ, then Phoenix wouldn't have matched. But once the fight became public, we had to. I also think that we didn't give up so much as neither of those pics are likely to be much and Diaw isn't going to turn into the second coming of MJ anytime soon.

Will be brought to the city this year by the Thrashers. I'm calling it right now. They will win the Stanley Cup. Get on board. Get some tickets. It's gonna be a great year!!!

Yo Spiral - see ya there - 121 G also.

The guy has more class than the total of most rosters. Good luck to him in life after playing days are done.

Bottom line is - look at the big picture for Atlanta Spirit LLC. They need the money for Ilya.

Quote: ..Do anybody here not think the ...Hawks management and scouts are not better NBA talent judges than a fan on a messageboard? Hey, the Babc0ck era wasn't that long ago!

No, I don't get the picture. I think the signing of JJ puts pressure on JJ. Compare Childlress at age 21 with JJ at age 21.

The problem is if he plays in Russia he doesn't have to pay taxes. That makes his earning go a lot further over there. He might not play. I suspect he'll play chicken right up to the Oct 5 deadline. I can't see him giving up an NHL career.

I don't want to lose him because right now he has the greatest liklihood of reaching his potential when compared to Smoove or Marvin. They may be better in the long-run, but right now he is closer to being the sure thing, and a pretty good one at that. 0000000 Off-topic, I'm really worried about losing Kovalchuk.

Quote: Uruguay - Batista signed with Bigua as he waits for a better contract - Sep. 8, 2005 - by Hector Lopez Esteban Batista (208-F/C-83), who received an offer to join the Atlanta Hawks and Spanish teams, signed with Bigua last night, to play the Uruguayan League as he waits for a contract to play somewhere else, his agent Oscar Moglia said. Batista was the best rebounder of the last Tournament of the Americas, with 15.6 rpp and scored 18 ppp link

Gotta love that internet translation software. Quote: Esteban Batiste could happen to the NBA The Uruguayan would play like professional AFP AFP 31 of August of 2005 Santo Domingo - the Uruguayan center Esteban Batiste could be contracted by an equipment of the NBA, according to trusted close friends of the celestial delegation to the AFP Santo Domingo, seat of the V Championship FIBA Américas of básquetbol. Batiste demonstrated its power in Premundial Batiste, that Friday turns 22 years, was observed by representatives of Minnesota Timberwolves and another equipment of the NBA during the preworld-wide American, whom it has been transformed into one of the great figures of the match. Before the day of Wednesday, the center led the statistic of bounces with an average of 15.6 by party, with a total of 78 in five games, as well as the one of offensive bounces, with 5.2 by game (26 altogether). In addition, it was quarter between the maximum anotadores, with 20.2 points marked by party, third in robberies (with 2.0) and fifth in blockades (1.2 of average). This Wednesday, in the party in which Uruguay lost before Venezuela by 101-99 and was outside the fight by one of the four cupos that the match grants for the World-wide one of Japan-2006, Batiste wrote down 25 points and captured 18 bounces. "Batiste has an enormous potentiality and still it did not arrive at the one hundred percent", said to Wednesday the celestial trainer, Alberto Espasandín. "Still it is in formation stage and it must continue learning", added the DT, that emphasized the very good level that has shown in the preworld-wide one.

The writer is clueless.
