HAWKEYE

I would hate to see Stack land in our division with say Miami and with Flip possibly signing with Charlotte; have these guys be difference makers and haunt us in our own division . . .

Sorry I did not clean out the quote. You can tell I have not posted in a long time

Hopefully he may be open to a second round of questions for those who found out a little late or does he have a blog we can access ? ?

I heard from one of the Hawk's strength and conditioning coaches that Josh was also working on his inside footwork with "surprisingly" John Lucas - former NBA guard and college tennis star (Maryland) in Houston.

I have personally given Horford the site location and I think he was curious enough to check it out. I gave it to him before this season.

"STAR"vin Marvin has a ring to it. If he maintains this consistency a couple more months, you may want to copyright that.

Quote: I think he's afraid of hurting himself... Where's John Smoltz's Hypnotis?? Last season there were a couple of games where he was being "seriously" undercut on dunks maybe by direction from the opposing coach or his defender not wanting to be posterized.

Quote: Quote: I figured that when I saw the picture. What's up Frat? Fall 2K6 here!! Norfolk State University #2 of 2 Sup MAB! Spring 2k1 Alpha Beta Tau Kenessaw State I won't hold it against you two. I am a Que !! That is OMEGA PSI PHI. I was panhellenic president at Virginia State. We're talking old school.

Quote: Please Josh Smith, use common sense on offense!!! low bb i.q. !!

Quote: "I know it sounds pretty simple but we just have to play better," Smith said. "We have to play together and stop trying to save the world on every possession and just buckle down and focus. That goes especially for me, but everybody else as well. We've got to dig out of this thing together." Please don't stone me for this, but he does not have a good basketball I.Q.

You mean Williams and not the trumpet player right.

Quote: Quote: Damn that was super quick. I never knew he had moves like that!! If he could have dunked it it would have been awesome. He should not try to outdo Joe but he cannot passively concede the role of 2nd option to Smoove. When Joe is in trouble he needs to have the confidence that Marvin is gonna show (not just sometimes but regularly) and be ready to attack. He is not going to outdo Joe but he needs to come get the ball or put himself in a better passing lane "more often".

Quote: As impressed as I am in the improvement in the half court game, there is one major disappointment. I do not see play operating through the middle, the pivot. To me, an inside-the-defense pivot point to an offense is a necessary ingrediant. I wonder what Hakeem told him? Oh, two other things to tell JS. A hook shot needs to be trusted not aimed. I love that JS uses one, but he has to use the lean of his body and foot direction to control the trajectory and direction of the shot, letting his arm flow like a sling shot. Currently, when he gets on angles he is not familiar with, he interrupts the hook, and then tries to guide with his hands. Destroys the mechanical beauty of the sweep that is the hook shot.

Quote: I was there. I have noticed that a weekday crowd is never as good as a weekend crowd. I have been to both home games and By far the Dallas game was louder. Atlanta is still a pretty crowd it takes a lot to get them started. I did love that crowd at the dallas game. I will be at the games next Wed and Sun I will test this theary again. I was there and would agree with that theory. Traffic is getting horrible and the kids next to me that took the train said it was bad too. Sellouts will do that and thats why a lot of folks are not getting there until late. I never thought that I would have to get started much earlier to get to my seat at the game like I have to when I am catching a plane at Atlanta Airport. I have a quick way to leave the game but it does not work going to the game. Anybody know of any shortcuts to get the parking below the decks ??

Quote: I don't know if you've been to many games, but most people will show up right before and after half time...it's kind of stupid and a waste of money if you ask me. I got downtown 45 minutes before tipoff and it still took an hour before I could park and get to my seat at the game. Traffic was horrible and the two young fellows next to me took the train and they said it was was really bad and they did not arrive until just before halftime.
