He's wealthy, no doubt. I just hope he invests the money needed to make this franchise successful, billionaire or not. The last thing this team needs is a penny-pinching owner.I wonder if there were no local prospective buyers? I wish Sam Cathy, who owns Chick-Fil-A, bought the franchise. Think of the marketing opportunities they could have done with the Hawks and chicken sandwiches.

I doubt it. I don't see his name in the Forbes 400 wealthiest Americans, where the list starts at $1 billion. So it doesn't look like he's a billionaire. If it was $14.5 billion, then he'd be one of top 50 wealthiest people in the world, which would be great for the team, but sadly this isn't the case.

Heh, "MVP" chants for Teague.

Is there a link/source to this? I haven't heard any recent news concerning potential new owners.

Actually, I thought of a better one. Jose: "To my biggest fan, Joe Johnson. Signed, Jose Calderon." Joe: 'Ohmygod ohmygod, Jose signed my jersey!"

Jose: "You got something on the back of your jersey. Let me get that for you." Joe: "thanks."

It looks like Josh is rearing back to punch Joe, and Joe is telling him, "I see what you're going to do, boy." And Al is like, "no man, what are you talking about? He's not going to punch you. Guys, stop it." And Jamal is appreciating Zaz- er, Diesel's newfound love for Marvin.

Hmmm, I remember hearing this same song a few years ago. What was it again? Ah, yes, I remember. "KG and Ray Allen going to Boston doesn't scare me. It's just three really good players and nothing else! No bench, no depth, a coach who hasn't won anything. Pfff, K.G. will never get his ring." Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

So, the Cavs, having HCA two years in a row and possessing the MVP two years in a row, can't even make it to the Finals? BWAHAHAHAAHAHHA. Queen James, indeed. :lol6: :lol6: :lol6:

What? No MVP23 or HawkWeisErrr? I'm shocked. SHOCKED.

Look at the guy standing to the right of the kid holding the "ATL Orlando Bound" sign, and read his t-shirt. "Deers R 4 -ueer-" Is that t-shirt saying what I think it's saying? :laughing5:

If you don't watch game 7 or can't get excited, than why are you even alive? I'll be watching, screaming a steady stream of obscenities.

First time I've seen Heyward. That kid looks like a monster. He has so much plate presence. Incredible. Also, I've never heard a stadium chanting someone's name like that at every at-bat, especially for a rookie. Jeter comes to mind, but that is all I can think of.

Heh, after that tip in by Horford, Hubie called him "Al Huffurd."

Perusing Bibby's game log, he had a 0/1/1 night against the Spurs in January. Surprise surprise, that was a loss too. He's laid several eggs throughout the year, most of them losses. Stating the obvious at this point, but we'd be a much better team if we had a pg who could defend and average more than 2 rebs. a game.

Anyone going to the game this Friday against Boston? I'll be there with a buddy, screaming profanities at the refs, KG, Pierce, Rondo, the Boston idiot fanbase, and Perkin's ugly mug. All from my seat in the 200's! My body aches for an Atlanta win against the Boston Geriatrics.

Smith was fouled on that drive in the video posted above, with Lebron smacking/grabbing his forearm. I think I'm going to step away from watching the NBA for a while. The superstar treatment, the consistently bad officiating - it's mind-boggling how biased and poorly-run this league is. How hard is it to call things down the middle? How hard is it to notice a shot-clock foul up? Why does Lebron or Wade get free trips to the line when a pinky graces the hair on their forearms? The NFL and MLB, while not perfect either, are infinitely more watchable than the NBA at this point. The NBA won't be getting my viewership any longer. I'll still support the Hawks a 100%, but at this point it feels like a losing battle.

Yeah. Don't think I'll be watching tomorrow. My head hurts from tonight's game, don't want to make myself go through that again tomorrow night. But on a completely unrelated note, I just discovered the Hawksquawk "Classics" forum. I'm having a ball reading all the epic sh*tstorms in there.

And why are you so concerned with that? Why do you care what other people think of others? Last time I checked, this is a message board, if someone is vomited their self-loathing pessimism all over the board, then others should feel free to respond to it. Take your own advice, if you don't like it when someone responds to another's comments, then ignore it.

If the Pistons could justify replacing Carlisle, who kept winning 50+ games for the Pistons, for Larry Brown, than we can easily justify firing Woody for someone better.

Is your memory that bad? Portland-Sacremento back to back. We won both. Boston-New Orleans back to back. We won both. So no, they haven't been "absent."

Only saw the tail-end of the game, which was awesome of course. But looking at the boxscore, Joe played 45 minutes? C'mon Woodman, use your bench. Are you trying to burn out Joe already? Whatever happened to giving Joe a bit more rest?
