    Doesn't sound good.

    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."

    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 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.

    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

    Esteban Batiste could happen to the NBA

    The Uruguayan would play like professional

    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.

    It's like dude's name... Edwards. Put two of those together

    Ed Edwards? Eddie Edwards? Come on now!

    Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards was an Olympian.

    He was that goofy ski jumper from England who could barely make it down the hill. Came in dead last. He cleaned up on endorsements though.
