Whats going on Hawks fam - I'm out of the country right now and I want to watch the Hawks cleveland game tonight. Does anyone have the link to watch live games? Go Hawks

I know Marvin will never get much praise b/c he will always be seen as the wrong pick for the Hawks due to the success of Deron Williams and Chris Paul. However Marvin is growing up before our eyes. He is going to the free throw line alot, shooting a relatively good percentage from the field. The only thing left for marvin to do is develop a 3pt shot to extend the floor. Now all we need is Acie Law to excel so the Marvin Bashers will go away...

After watching the Hawks play not only do you see the importance of good pg play and defending but good subsitution as well. SInce the Hawks dont have a franchise PG its important that they make the extra pass. THe Hawks have to continue to defend better and WOODSON MUST LEARN HOW TO SUBSTITUTE. It seems like coaches better when he doesnt have many options....with that said I want my Hawks to be at Full Strength soon b/c we are making progress.

I saw a post the other day on here regarding a Wii system. Well my friend has one extra Wii available if anyone wants it.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...E:L:LCA:US:1123

He is in Hawks Box Seats

Good Luck finding them in the stores. Your best bet maybe to hit up Ebay and get one, thats where I found mine. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:L:LCA:US:1123

Ok genius what do you propose? I have been to countless Hawks games the last two years especially sitting a few seats behind the bench and I'm telling you Josh Smith needs to grow up and increase his basketball IQ. Not only that but you would think in his contract year he would atleast be improving his game. Mike Woodson will most likely be the fall guy this season b/c in my city we get caught up in highlight reels. The same football highlight reels that VIck use to dominate. I know the season is young but we cant blame the coach for everything. Josh Smith is playing DUMB A$$ hell on offense, and now when JJ is struggling Joshs play is just magnified. But lets live and die with Josh Smith...you idiot

I know Josh Smith has all the talent in the world. Great Defense, trained with Hakeem Olaujawon in the summer, but he still takes ill advised shots and seems impossible to coach. I know the rule of thumb shared by most fans would be to Keep smith an explore trading Marvin but I dont know how many games we can win when uncoachable Josh Smith takes ill advised shots time after time and then argues with the coach repeatedly. His Value is very high, should we explore trading him b/c eventually if not already will be a cancer in the locker room? And JJ will not wait around much longer for the Hawks to get serious. Just a thought.

You know its been a long few years as a hawks Fan - and I must say that I'm tired of even supporting their weak effort. Blame the coach, blame the kids, no leaders on the team. Its not much you can do. I hate to throw in the towel this earlier in the season but unlike most of my previous sports years this has been the worst. My Falcons pretty much suck. (Thanks Vick) My Michigan Wolverines had a horrible season. And Now even the glimmer of hope in the Hawks is fading as this team appears to be playing uninspired basketball. I would make the trade for Valerio or whatever the kid name is from Cleveland to give some energy to this team. How about Sheldin and AJ for Valerjo and a future 1st rounder. Come on Billy We NEED A SPLASH OF ENERGY.... Please help this fellow hawks fan...

Ive been one of the few supporters of BK's drafting over the past few years. Ok so I wish he may have selected Brandon Roy instead of Shell Head, but honestly the Hawks needed to get some toughness and grit. Hawks selecting Marvin Williams over Chris Paul and Deron WIlliams has been beat to death in the media over the past two years and now that we have Law I'm satisfied. We can agree to disagree over that issue, but one thing is becoming clear. Marvin Williams is proving his worth as a #2pick. Lets hope he stays healthy and continues to play hard. GO HAWKS

The Hawks should ideally should play 10 players a night when everyone is healthy. The reason Woody may get fired if the Hawks dont make the playoffs will be a result of his substitution patterns. BK drafting has actually blessed the Hawks with a deep team with plenty of young assets. Law / Speedy / Lue JJ / Salim / Marvin / CHildress Smoove / Sheldin / Hofford / ZAZA Great WIn Tonight especially given the Fact that Joe Johnson

NM... I juat heard Salim is hurt....not sure the extent of his injuries. If thats the case then I'm not too fustrated. GO HAWKS

Can someone please tell me why Salim is not getting any playing time. One of my biggest complaints with With Mike Woodson is his subsitution pattern. Salim is the second best shooter on the team and he is not even playing. I'm tired of waiting until an injury before we use some of our bench players...We have a deep team....We should use it!!!

THanks DRP for explaining this up....680 Fan, Terrene Moore and others are brainwashing some of these Atl fans. Now if VICK is found guilty then so be it....His cousin actually Admitted to doing this a few months ago.

I'm back from DC and all aside from all the national attention its discouraging to see some of our fair weather ATL fans pass judgement without even letting Due process work...I know 680 fan and Terrence Moore need to get people riled up for ratings , but when I hear fans agree blindly it makes me just shake my head. Just b/c Senators and Legislators bring up Vick in Congress over dog allegations is less time they can get pummeled for the War in Iraq. Then I hear people say well he was indicted by the federal govt. An indictment is serious allegations, but that is just it...serious allegations. You dont need much proof for an indictment. Hell the federal govt also believed there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq too.. DONT GET ME WRONG....If VICK is found guilty then feed him to the wolves, but damn Fans are saying through him out of town, he wont play in Atlanta again and this and that without even a guilty verdict. Its almost laughable - I WILL SAY VICK IS GUILTY OF BEING STUPID for getting into this situation, but that doesnt mean we should burn him at the stakes.....THere is a reason why Atl fans dont when championship b/c we want to rush to judgement without letting things play out. The same people saying trade Marvin Williams for the Hawks without even letting him grow in the maturing process...Damn its a sad reality of being an ATL FAN.

Its no secret that Woodson like vets. And with that being said Law will not start right away. He will play 15 - 20mins. Speedy if healthy will start the season at point guard. In fact I dont think neither rookie will start but they should see significant action. Hawks should be very deep and hopefully Woodson plays both squads, in the same fashion as say Dallas does. That would insure that our guys stay fresh and get lots of experience right away 1st string PG- SPeedy SG- JJ SF- Marvin PF- Smoove C- Sheldin 2nd String PG- Law SG- Salim* SF- CHildress PF- Hortford C- Zaza I expect the Hawks to deal Salim,Lo,CHilds or even Zaza if the right deal comes up. DIESEL- THE HAWKS ARE NOT TRADING JOSH SMITH. He is a hometown player, fan favorite. Now if he continues his temper tantrums like a 15 year old school girl then it may be a last resort. But even then if the Hawks dont make the playoffs Woodson will be gone, not Smith. The hawks learned there lesson from trading Dominique.

THose are dumb ideas. Hawks untouchables are as follows: Joe Johnson Josh Smith Marvin Williams(If he doenst avg 18pts this year he will be off the list) BK already said he wasnt trading these guys. AL-Hortford Acie Law READ MY LIPS. THE HAWKS WILL NOT TRADE JOSH SMITH FOR NO ONE. True hawks fans know what happens when you trade the local star. Remember Dominique. Especially not for Gasol. The reason Gasol hasnt been traded is b/c GMs around the league believe he is good but not worth the 80Mill dollar salary. Dont get me wrong i would love to have him but aslong as those players mentioned above are not traded.

Dont Trade Marvin...Please let this guy grow. He will be much better than Rashard Lewis, and most other SMall Forwards soon enough. I would consider trading CHildress, SHeldin, Lue, L

Smith wont be extended until next summer. He is the face of the franchise, just look at who first sported the new Uniforms. After next summer, Lo, Lue, AJ contracts will be either traded or off the books. Besides if Smith was signed now, then Childress would expect to be signed and the Hawks dont want any kind of squable. Who knows we may keep them both depending on How Marvin, and CHildress play this year.

This is the NBA...Hortford has to earn the right to be double team. He will not be doubled until he proves that he is a real threat. Its all depending on pg play...If Law and Speedy play very well it will open up many opportunities. I wouldnt be suprise if Salim, Childress will be traded for an experience scorer.

Yea he is a fellow Michigan Wolverine. Petway is an atheletic freak but he doenst have any real skills. He will not make the team.

Two free agents come to mine that the Hawks may consider for additional scoring threat. I personally dont want to bring in any additional shooters unless we can dump some of our dead weight Lorenzen Wright and Anthony Johnson. Nonetheless, it is more puzzling that Woodson seems to have alot of problems substituting correctly. But yet he is screaming for another shooter. With that said, I doubt we will have the intrigue of Jerry Stackhouse as he probably wants to play for a definite title contender. But Maybe BK can continue his good streak to bring in a Veteran through a sign & Trade. Somehow find a way to get Jerry Stackhouse. If that fails we could possibly bring in Atlanta own Jarvis Hayes for a cheap price. Not sure how good his shot though,

I'm by no means saying we do have a pg even close to CHauncey, but some people tend to think thats who Acie Law games resembles. http://www.nbadraft.net/admincp/profiles/acielaw.html

If you watch BK's draft plan to go long atheletic Guard /forwards (Marvin, CHills) a sharp shooter in Joe Johnson, Law who is compared to Chauncey, and 3PF forwards: (Hofford, SHeldin, Smith) who are not as skilled yet as (Ben Wallace, Rasheed, McDyess) but you see where they are similar. The Hawks are a younger unexperience version of the Pistons IMO. Lets just hope they can have similar success. First Things First..Making the Playoffs will be a daunting task, but if everyone stays healthy we have a good shot. Woody has a young team capable of competing day in and day out. Although, I'm not the biggest fan of taking Hofford - I do believe he will be a good PF in the mold of Boozer. I think Sheldin will be like Antonio Davis and I really believe Josh Smith will be A superstar. Woody better work hard on his substitution patterns to keep the team competing every game. BK needs to trade await players like Anthony Johnson, Lorenzen Wright for future 2nd rounders or something. I expect Lue to be move by the Trading deadline if SPeedy remains healthy...and Law proves to lay down the LAW. GO Hawks. I'm a die hard fan so i will be in attendance.

Well the Knicks, and Boston just got better through trades. If the Hawks dont make a big splash we will not make the playoffs again. With this roster i project.... a 30- 36 wins....not enough to make the playoffs in the improving Eastern Conference. Looks like 9th straight seasons with no playoff appearance. I'm really disapointed with this team thus far...although our draft grade is probably a "B". We are too young and need experience that can contribute. Poor Woodson doesnt stand a chance.
