Has anyone brought up the fact that this years Hawks team and the Heat are basically the same team? The Hawks are a bit shorter at most of the positions but they are the same type of players.

I bet Mike Woodson is Happy in New York with his winning team. He probably looks forward to beating the Hawks every chance he gets.

I like to point out, though no one seems to care. The superstars we missed out on aren't even playing on their original teams now. Also, were their original teams better than the Atlanta Hawks over that same time period. Why would we think that any of those guys would have stayed a Hawk.

http://www.nba.com/video/channels/playoffs/2012/04/27/2012_hawks_top10.nba/ Looking at these top 10 highlights made me realize how much I enjoyed Joe and Marvin's highlight plays. I know we can all agree that the highlights were to few for the teams needs. But I got a charge out of them when they did happen.

Never foul the jump shooter!

How did the Clippers figure it out? They have two supposed super stars and we have none. They have the point guard (Chris Paul) that everyone says we should have drafted. Plus, they have a high flying dunker (we have one of those also), in Blake Griffin. They got swept in the second round.

I think Jeff Teague should join Joe as our two All-Stars!

Dominique Wilkens, Deion Sanders, Michael Vick and Hank Aaron where all superstars. And the only one that could create sell-outs was Vick. And none of them brought Atlanta a championship. The Cleveland Cavilers and The Orlando Magic tried building and buying a championship around their superstars and it didn't work. Dallas put together a high priced championship team and they already have started letting players leave. Unless you are in a big market, you can't maintain the cost of always competing for championships. Look how long it took the high spending Knicks to get their act together. They were spending money and they still sucked.

I'm sorry guys. My smart phone was determined to make me look dumb. But to respond to Mac Daddy. Why is it a dumb question? I wanted to know if anyone had already brought up the fact that if the Atlanta Hawks had drafted any of the above players. Said player would no longer be an Atlanta Hawk. I don't think the ownership here could have convinced either of the point guards to stay in Atlanta. At least the players we have drafted were willing to resign. Everyone wants to complain about who we could have drafted, but let's be honest. If we had drafted a superstar player, he would be playing in New York or L.A. by now. So I'm going to be happy with the players we do have and cheer them on to victory. I remember watching the Braves lose 100 games a year. I remember the Hawks only winning 13 games one year. I remember the Atlanta Falcons never having back to back winning season. Right now as an Atlanta Sports fan. I'm pretty happy! Go Hawks!

Has Habrophy up the fact they would ask be former Hawks now?s anyone

I know there are a lot of Marvin haters around. But he has apparently been hurt the last two years. Look at him now. He's standing upright and looks taller. He may be worth the money we pay him this year! http://www.nba.com/v...6567/index.html

Check out the mile run times! Every player met Drew's standard of under 7 minutes. Joe Johnson had the team's fastest time at 5 minutes, 30 seconds. Another guard, Jeff Teague, was second at 6 minutes. The surprise was the 6-foot-11, 275-pound Pachulia finishing third at 6:07. Name of external link

Duane Ferrell just stepped into my comic book shop to say hi. We talked about the new offense and said he was confident in it. Then he said. " If it doesn't work everyone will be unemployed".

So sad. Name of external link

I agree with your post. I think Woody Helped this franchise. We may be missing him very soon.

Oh, Yeah

Didn't the Hawks lose a game to Lebron when he was touch fouled with time expiring

But we have games where Smoove leads the team in assist and he is not a guard.

Center Al Horford said the problem often has been ball movement. "That really falls on the guys that are running our team," he said. "The guards have the ball in their hands. They control the game, and that's something they have to kind of realize." My link The kid has a pair of brass balls!

Did anyone else notice that Mario West was being held down by two Orlando players on the last play of the game? I'm willing to bet that if Smoove hadn't made that great play, the fouls on West would not have been called.

I just started the post because I was tired of hearing about the Hawks not having a Chris Paul. I'm glad we didn't draft him or Deron. Chemistry and team depth win championships not just superstars! Even the great Jordan, Magic and Bird had great players around them!

That team could hurt us, once the emotions start flowing!

I was thinking about Chris Paul's contract of 14 million and I'm happy the Hawks did not draft him. If the Hawks had to pay for Chris and let's say we would have drafted Brandon Roy. How would the franchise have been able to afford the quality team that we have now? We would not have Joe Johnson nor Al Horford. Josh Smith would be playing for Memphis. The trades for Jamal Crawford and Mike Bibby would never have happened. So, I'm happy the Hawks didn't draft Chris Paul or Deron Williams! Marvin Williams you rule!
