who has the effort. I'm proposing a Hawksquawk basketball league for those of us in the Metro area. If we can make it work logistically, who wants to play?

That's right. You are. "You can have your own opinion. You cannot have your own facts." Patrick Leahy

By the way, this thread was about Paul Silas. Who's the troll?

When did I say I was an expert? You don't have to be an expert to know more than you. I'm 32, by the way. You trolled in my thread you stupid fucc. Is everyone as dumb as you and diesel? I think not. You have never went point by point. You just back off, then you troll by another day. I started this thread. I trolled my own thread? WTF?

until recently, that the Hawks are named after Chief Black Hawk of the Sauk tribe. They shortened it to Hawks when they moved to Milwaukee. Ironically, the success of the Braves helped to force the team to move to St. Louis. There weren't a ton of entertainment dollars in the 50's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hawk_(chief)

He was also a founding partner of the Chicago Bulls organization.

The third person stuff is bizarre. Diesel thinks he's a star. You really are a basketball idiot. Stop showing the video game in your sig. It implies that you play for real. That you aren't a video game type of thinker. How your ego lets you question others when you don't actually play is amazing. I think I'm going to go shoot a few later. What about you?

Moreover, it's just one more of those strings I pull for those who's mission is simply to attack attack and attack posters who are trying to talk about basketball. If he wants to be mad at Diesel, then let me give him enough motivation through ridicule and scorn... I couldn't help point out that you start a thread b!tching about people b!tching. Then you say I'm here to hate on other Squawkers when you offend, not one, but two Squawkers in your signature. What an Ass. Your ego is enveloped only by your ignorance.

He didn't know you meant the "and" he was supposed to have written. I choose to think Diesel is stupid, not for the typo, but for the things he says.

You are so effing stupid. You can't talk about basketball with any real comprehension and articulation, so you attack my typo. How pathetic.

Quote: "knowliedgable" -Stopthehop Is that all you have? It was a mistake. I even apologized. You have probably, some of the worst spelling on the Squawk. To be honest, I've probably used many words never before seen on Hawksquawk. GFY. You are so lame. This adds another brick in your wall of lame.

You are apologizing for 7, going on 8 years of bad basketball. You don't even know why we used to win. It is funny that you insult me, and you're too lazy, incompetent and uncoordinated enough to actually play the game you talk about. What a joke. You have to play to really know what you're talking about. You are an arrogant PC nerd apparently. You should stay in the casual Hawks conversations.

Just like always. You side-step every point. Nothing of your own credentials. You just hate on others. You don't play, do you? I know more than you. How you have the nerve to insult us and act like this is all fine, is beyond me. Why are you a Hawks fan? Hell, why are you a basketball fan? Compared to my others, this is an innocent post. Then, you come along and dis' all of us. I call you out for not having any basketball vision and I get an 8 year old type of response. Whatever.

I know. He just insults all of us with his condescending comments. Then, he can never back up what he was talking about. I just wanted to talk about Silas. He wants to pat himself on the back for being a prognosticator in almost every thread. He didn't even know that I have hated on Woody since I got here. He just wanted to dis someone. That's why I was so harsh. He knows nothing about my viewpoints. He should stay away then. It's not like I haven't been posting regularly.

I apologize to all for misspelling knowledgeable.

It's just that they barely know the game beyond the sportscenter level. They don't comprehend why we are losing.

I expected a coach to earn his money. Why don't you just quit posting until you "expect" us to contend. I'm sure a lot of knowliedgable basketball people would enjoy the vacation from your " If I were the GM" type of posts. The point is, I was hoping for better. I, along with many others have noticed countless things that could be corrected. You would have to actually play the game to understand what we're talking about.

Quote: Quote: I know. I hate thinking about it. I don't think Silas could work for BK. I just think he would bring the toughness and old school mentality that we need. I know you have issues with BK. I think these players could win though. His choice of a coach is my major issue with him. Who do you think would work for BK? Also, can the ASG fire BK? having the old school mentality and toughness are probably the ONLY things we ALREADY HAVE that Mike Woodson brings. if Woodson brings anything, it's those things. BUT he doesnt bring the x's and o's it seems. Woodson is in no way, tough. He was a 2 guard and small forward scorer who never played for a very good team in the pros. Just because he landed on Detroit's staff for a few years does not mean that he made Wallace, Billups, etc., tough. They already were.

I'm done with you. You have never played basketball for a coach. If you had you would know he sucks. You just want to toot your own horn. You sound like an arrogant christian. We just don't get it. We haven't seen the light, right? STFU with your no-knowledge posts. Stay in the effing lounge or something. I played organized sports my whole life. I still play in rec. leagues. I have been a ref for youth leagues and high school games. Tell me, where did you play? Come to my gym anytime. I doubt I'll see you there. I have never liked Woody. Go post your garbage somewhere else.

First off, there are no "guys like me". There is only me. Secondly, I do have some positive thoughts. I like most of the players. Especially, the young ones. Unless you get a consensus though, on what is wrong, it's a little like re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic, isn't it? I'll stay positive when I chime in on your FEEL GOOD board. Remember, we can't make the changes you want to talk about. We're not the GM. We can only look at the variables in place and make assumptions accordingly. My hope is to put heat on the organization. I've been a Hawks fan a long time teke. I'm going crazy with this type of structure and lack of effort.

Ivey can hit an open 12-15 fotter more often than not. Craig can't. If he came to the gym, I would be impressed. I might say "wow! He can't shoot, but he really plays some d, and he's fast!". That would be at the gym though. He would be great in that environment. This is the GD NBA! He would not even be in the league if his name was, well, Craig Claxton. The guy sucks hard.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Besides, if Levenson has nothing better to do, and our owner is going to be Squawkin', I want him to really know how I feel. I'm not Craig's wife. I'm not here for emotional support. He sucks. Acting like he's not there, or that we didn't wasted a ton of money is simply sad. Sometimes, you sound like you've given up teke. You have to be tenacious. We have rolled over and taken it for too long.

Quote: I got three words. STAN VAN GUNDY! He would like nothing better than come into the SE divsion and stick it to Pat Riley, who stole his job. I remember hearing a story when we were trying to get Izzo. Supposedly, he and Jeff Van Gundy are friends. Jeff was working for Turner at the time, I think. He told Izzo to stay far away from the Hawks situation. So, my question is, would he not give the same advice to his own brother. P.S. I like Stan. I just think of that story when I hear his name.

One of the great football people. Was largely responsible for the NFL we love today. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6271074?FSO1&ATT=HMA

I think either of those guys would really mask Woody's flaws. Hurting us in the long term. I love Marvin. We just need a coach, and we should not have signed Craig. That move will continue to kill.
