Yeah, keep BK. The guy who passes on MVP candidates and ALL STARS so that he can draft average players...and busts. He's a genius like you.

Troy, I agree 100%. Making the playoffs at 37-45 is no cause for celebration. In fact, if we hadn't traded our lotto pick a lot of fans would have been hoping to miss the playoffs. This team doesn't belong and they know it. That's what makes the "trophy" thing so pathetic. This team won't win a game in the first round, let alone win a series...or a title. Woodson is just such a joke I can't even watch anymore. If they re-sign Woodson I'm taking a long Hawks break. It would show just how clueless this ASG is and it isn't worth the effort. I have been a Hawk fan a LONG time and until Woodson goes I'm finished. This half-ass playoff deal is about as much fun as crapping a razor blade. Now the whole country gets to see this lousy coach and our flawed roster. At least BK got Horford right. He was damn sure due.

It's embarrassing because we have no shot. This is not about winning a championship OK? This is about gaining experience. JJ doesn't need a trophy taped to his locker. He isn't in 5th grade. Ever heard of Popovich doing stupid stuff like this? No. How about Phil J? Nope. D'Antoni? Naw, he's too smart. North, you aren't going to admit Woody sucks no matter the evidence. Let's just say that teams 8 games under .500 don't win titles and leave it at that. You don't throw up the white flag but there's a reason you won 37 games. It's like saying your going to win the lottery so go ahead and buy the new car. Positive thinking right? Good luck. You have as much chance of winning the lottery as the Hawks do of actually winning the title. Just play the games one at a time and see what happens. Leave the 5th grade motivation at home.

The Hawks won't even get a whiff of a game in this series. Woodcock will have to collect his Larry O'Brien trophies and save them for his next assistant coach gig.

Wrong Anakin. These are professional players who know they have no shot at the big trophy. This "run" is not about winning a championship, sorry. This is about doing the absolute most that they can do which is MAYBE win a game or two...and gain experience for the future. Acting like they have a shot at a championship is stupid and delusional. The Suns, Lakers, Spurs, Celts, etc all have a legit shot at a title. How many Larry O'Brien trophy's are taped in their lockers? This is stupid gimmickry. Walking around saying things like "when we win the title this year" is not positive thinking, it is stupidity. Nobody is buying this BS act, certainly not the players or the fans. This is another example of a coach who just sucks out loud and is truly embarrassing to our city. You don't have to tape championship trophies to your locker to be a contender. You have to shut your mouth and play. Oh, and you need a good coach. That leaves the Hawks well out of contention.

The Hawks have no business in the playoffs and Ford is 100% correct. This is a damn joke and may just get the worst coach in the league an extension. Making the playoffs is not worth Woodson coming back. And Ford essentially said the Hawks underachieved. Look deeper.

Quote: I'm not calling TP's motives into question as much as I was making a general statement as to why Sothron was attacked as much as he was for posting some of the same crap that I see posted here everyday. I mean, how many of those mock "latest information" threads did we see cluttering up the front page of this message board? There was obviously a little more to it than angst over Sothron's supposed lying about having inside sources/info. Don't take anything I say personally as I try my best NOT to confront anybody on the 'net over something as trivial as sports. I was just making an observation. Sothron did not post like people on here everyday. He grew into legend in his own mind and claimed that he had inside info. I dont see anyone else making that claim, do you? Honestly, I don't care if the guy was BSing. But, I hate reading stuff that is false like we turned down Adelman. Or, that inside sources say that the Hawks were meeting behind the scenes to get Woodson fired in Minnesota. Lies don't form the basis of constructive discussion.

JJ wants Woody gone...

The Hawks have been making a strong statement for the last two months. The problem is that the ASG aren't listening....

Quote: Quote: Just FYI for all the Sothron lovers. I called his bluff and approached one of his "sources" and his supposed source told me that Sothron apparently knew him (source) a helluva better than the source knew Sothron. I was also told by Mullin that Sothron's sources were garbage. Anybody that believes that Adelman fairy tale should believe in the Easter Bunny as well. Rick Adelman NEVER called the ASG and asked if there was a job opening coming. Thats another lie that Sothron told just like the story about the team quitting in Minnesota. Do not quote Sothron as a source for a real story. Thats not good enough by a long shot. It's kinda funny to hear the amount of hate that some here have/had for Sothron. Let it go. The attacks were NEVER really about his "inside" information. It seemed more about jealousy over the spotlight more than anything else. This is "inside" info from someone who's not a journalist on a fan created sports website. C'mon, I mean how credible is most of the stuff that we read here? The only reason why Soth was singled out was because some actually believed what he posted and asked for him specifically when they had a question about the players/ownership/etc, and the resident egotists couldn't stand it. Your a funny guy. Yeah, most people really want to be rock stars on Internet sites. And for those who can't ever attain such lofty status we resent those who have climbed the Internet Rockstar world. They must be taken down at all costs. Seriously, a guy in this thread was spouting off about how Adelman was inquiring about being a coach here in Atlanta...and we supposedly turned him down. Now, I cannot stand BK, Woody, or the ASG but they never turned down Adelman because he never applied here. Thats a typical BS Internet rumor that has no basis. And it spreads and is taken as fact when it is truly a lie. Personally, I like reading opinions on this site but I don't like BS by some self important loser who says things that can never be verified and then claims he is some connected dude. Wake up. If somebody here had true inside scoop that was reliable and could be verified then I'm on the bandwagon. But Sothrons' stuff was crap and it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. And I took the time to look into his "scoop" and found that it was just garbage. Thats why he left, because he could no longer take the heat. He gave me two people to check out and I checked them out. Bye Bye Sothron.

I think Dale Ellis is in jail. And he hasnt played for a decade. I still bet he could guard better than what we got.

Houston wins by 15+. The hawks dont play enough defense to fluke out the win. Do they have the talent to win? Yes, but they currently dont have the desire. They are carrying out a focused mission... "get Woodys ass gone". They have no intention of winning that game. Hence, they wont.

Marvin for Dale? Dale who?

Guys like Chill and Marvin are left out of Woody's iso offense now that we have a scoring PG. If we had an offense that actually moved the ball....

This team has no business making the playoffs. Period. All the playoffs would do is encourage the no account Atlanta Spirit into thinking Woody's done the job. I believe the players are tanking anyway right now. Their defense speaks for itself. The Miami win was at home against an 11-50 team and was close. The fact that lousy Miami almost beats you at home should tell you something. This pollyanna crowd that gets excited over a lousy team making the playoffs is lame at best.

Quote: Quote: Teams that don't play defense actually RUN so they can score to make up for it. We don't do either. The saddest part? Our coach's specialty is supposed to be DEFENSE This is exactly the style of play that the vast majority of you wanted the Hawks to start playing. Let's play fast. Let's shoot 3's. If we become a better offensive team., the defense won't matter as much. Don't whine and cry now about defense. North, you have become an irrational whiner on the board. You have now turned to misrepresenting views. People want up tempo, that doesnt mean we want matador defense. How many posts have you read where people advocated running...while also playing lousy defense? Your problem is that your fundamentally a Woody butt licker that realizes finally that he sucks.

The Hawks are playing their "please fire this asswype loser head coach" defense. Gearon hasn't noticed yet. He's more than a little thick but eventually he'll get it.

What has he done to the ASG? Fight for some extra cash? Wow. What an idiot he is, trying to maximize his interests. This Belkin hysteria is like a good folk story, it gets better and better. He gets more evil every time the story gets told. All I know is he was against giving up so much for JJ. He felt like we could get him for less because Sarver was a cheap bastard. Turns out Sarver sells 1st round picks and auctions off key talent due to luxury tax worries so Belkin looks smart. He wasnt against JJ, just that BK was dropping his pants around his ankles. Yeah, BK has been so damn smart, we should trust he was making a great deal right? How could Belkin ever question BK? The other fact is that Belkin has never stated his side in public. So, all the cutting payroll stuff was from the ASG. They went public with a position that he was against the JJ deal when I have since learned that he was for the JJ deal but against sending TWO #1 picks. He knew Sarver and he knew that he wasn't paying the tax. So he felt we could get him for less. What an evil guy. He seems more nimble to me, more on the ball than the ASG. Naw, we wouldnt want that would we? Oh, and for all the people worried about him moving the team we have a thing called a lease in place. He can't move the team if he wanted.

You dont know JACK about Gerald Green except that he is an athlete. If Gerald Green was even remotely viable he wouldnt be getting traded and released all over the league at such a young age. You want him to replace Marvin/Chill? LMAO. Sometimes this board just reeks of basketball ignorance. You want the scoop on Gerald Green? The problem is he needs a heart transplant. The kid has no work ethic and little professionalism. Physical talent is just one small piece to the puzzle. He is not a professional. He doesn't have the intensity to play ball in a mans league. Please stop talking nonsense. If you want to keep a Gerald Green as your 15th man then fine. Maybe he grows up at some point. But acting like he's already in a place to put Marvin and/or Chill out is crazy and shows that you know dickweed about how the league works. You think the lousy T-Wolves couldnt use a player? They released a 23 year old for a reason. A damn good reason. And he comes into our rotation now? LMAO.

Fans were all excited over Bibby because its been so long since we have had a real PG. The truth is that Bibby is a TERRIBLE defender. And he is not the traditional distributor. He will have value though. And if we can trade him for a 1st within the top 15 then I would do it. Hopefully, we will have a real GM in here next year who can get us a well rounded PG. Rondo would be looking real good about now, a guy who defends his ass off and runs the team. Bibby is a borderline chucker who can't stop anybody off the dribble. It had been so long since we had any type of PG we all jumped the gun.

You dont trust Belkin. But, you trust the ASG? We have one party that has already proven to be lousy and another party that we dont know about. Hmmm. I'll take the one I don't know. The worst he could be is lousy like what we have now.

I'm watching Duke-UNC. The Hawks arent worth watching on any level now anyway.

Believe it or not, some people let their voices be heard. If enough voices are heard there can be change. These kinds of changes are brought about all the time by fans and media bringing the heat. Yes, one isolated voice can do nothing. But if enough people go after a cause then anything is possible. You dont have to call him names. You can craft it in the way you want. I would hate to be a guy who just sits back and takes what he gets. And if nothing comes from it at least you tried. Put this dude in jail and I PROMISE YOU he is taking it up the ass daily. And apparently learning to love it. When faced with a crisis, go to the small man's rule book and fold.
