Any idea what those #'s would look like (at least JJ's) if they were updated for this season??

I was debating whether or not to go to sleep near the end of the 3rd quarter...Glad I stayed up!!! WAY TO GO BOYS!!!!

Nice prediction!!

Smoove is definitely the 2nd most important player on this team outside of JJ...I would say Chillz is probably the 3rd most important...I really hope we can keep him as well.

Lue seems so much more reliable to me...Only thing Speedy is better at is defense (the importance of which should not be underestimated)...When does Lue come back anyways?

Josh Smith, Josh Childress, Marvin Williams, and Zaza? Many people on this board are more knowledgeable about NBA contracts than me...If I'm not mistaken JS and JC both have 1 more year on their contracts, while Marvin has 2 more? Didn't we sign Zaza to a 3 year contract which would leave him 1 more after this year? I hope we can keep together the core of JJ, JS, JC, and MW...They work so well together...

It's good to hear that there are some fans out there that are actually cheering for us to WIN, unlike some of the fake ass fans out there.

CLUTCH!!!!!

He looks awful today...Atleast in the 2nd half...Looks OLD.

Is Jason Kidd black or white?? Something I've always wondered...

It's completely pointless because there is no way in hell our players would agree to this. And if we did suck that much they might not want to re-sign which doesn't exactly help us. I personally believe if we can just stay healthy we have a legit shot at the 8th spot. We just have to survive the month of February. March and April are a lot friendlier on paper. Great post BusBoy...Tanking is a fu**ing ridiculous concept anyways...I'm embarassed that our fans are even discussing this. Please go support another team. Anyone who wants to tank is a disgrace. the team was looking pretty bad before Smoove and Marvin hit their stride. even with them playing well as of this second the team is in no man's land. they'll need to continue this hot streak to get out of the bottom 10. Honestly, what the hell is the point in being a "fan" of a team if you are actually cheering for them to LOSE. I think by definition, that actually makes you NOT a fan. What an incredibly stupid concept.

I will never EVER hope that my team loses, I don't give a [censored] who's in the draft...That is a terrible attitude.

JS is progressing defensively to the point that we don't need that type of center.

Quote: Moves for Bynum (my preference), Sene (or one of Seattles other 2 young centers, though not my preference), Pryz in FAcy, Who would play PF if we did that?? Something to think about.

I didn't think of the Jazz...otherwise, I don't think there are many other teams though.

Name ANY team in the league that could play near .500 ball while losing their BEST player, and their 3rd best player (I consider JJ our best overall player, and Chillz our 3rd best overall player...considering all things). Everyone wants to blame Woodson, or whoever else...THERE IS NO ONE TO BLAME...this is a very young inexperienced team, what the heck did you expect without JJ and Chillz? We are just as bad as the Heat without Wade and Shaq...just as bad as the Suns would be without Nash and Stoudamire...just as bad as the Mavericks without Dirk and Josh Howard...just as bad as the Cavs would be without James and Gooden. The truth of the NBA is that a lot of teams are built around ONE player, and if that player goes down, they are screwed (Heat, Cavs, Wizards, Lakers,) I think people here are overreacting and putting the blame in the wrong places, if you're going to blame it on anything, blame it on bad luck. Chill out guys, when we get JJ and Chillz back, we will get back to playing about .500 basketball, which is all that we could realistically expect out of the team this year.

We are up by 1, but I don't feel like we are playing "great". Get a "W" Hawks!!

Thanks.

To discuss players...but how nice would Ronald Steele look in a Hawks jersey next year...Gosh that would be SWEET!

I admit I turned the TV off after we were down 88-74...but then I sat there a few seconds and decided I'd ride it out...WOOHOO!!!

He is honestly awful, I hope he didn't get ANY PT the rest of the year.
