How were his airball, turnovers, wild rim missing drive with 20 seconds on the clock, and ear and eye hurting bricks positive? His best game, and he sucked. This is the NBA. Not the park.

Quote: who would be available that's better? not a sarcastic question although i voted no, just asking. Paul Silas. Plus, he's a former Hawk.

Is Mike Woodson the worst coach in the NBA? If no, please say who is.

He is an enigma.

3 effing refs missed the ball hitting the rim. Amazing. T-Lue is saving us, by the way.

Zaza just totally wussed out. Didn't even get a hand up. 3 point play

Nice strong take by Lue. Foul on Nene. And 1

That was the most vicious dunk I've seen in quite a while!

Not Craig. Nice airball to start the game.

This is, I think, the dumbest thread I have seen on the Squawk. He would NEVER, NEVER come here. I would love a player like him. I really miss Deke

They would be nuts to trade Bibby for Craig and a 1st.

It's ugly every night. Even with J.J.. There are so many things we don't do right. We have a terrible coach. What makes anyone think we will make the playoffs? I've seen enough. I had hoped that the players would be so good that not even Woody could derail them. I drank the Kool-Aid.

You're too smart for that. 34 wins is terrible, when it should be at least 44. We are still incompetent in so many areas. No improvement in eight years could be described as quicksand. Especially if Belkin wins and moves the team. BTW - Babcock made the playoffs. He got guys like Mookie, Smitty, Deke, Ty, Grant, etc.. WTF? I woulk kill to have Babcock back. If it were him or BK. The choice is obvious.

Stop saying Craig is a solid pg. He is absolute garbage. BK is supposed to know these type of things. He can't shoot, pass or penetrate. He is the worst free-agent signing in Atlanta Hawks history.

He wants to be a pg. Make every decision. When he wants to score he shoots up brick j's till a few fall. Those shots should never be taken. That's how he pads it to near 20. Just like Al. BTW-I never said he got offensive boards. So, your point about the boards is misleading. He stands near the paint on D. Duh? The other PF he's guarding isn't going to be a chump like him. They go inside. So, he is there. That's how people that tall grab boards in numbers. He sucks. He's also a liar and he cheated on Tyra Banks for god's sake. He also really did a number on all his ex-mates at Michigan. That stripped Big Ten title was all they had. They didn't get paid millions to be soft. He has a nice skill-set. Who cares? His mind is garbage.

Quote: Quote: Webber is way past his prime so you can't say him. Webber was one of a handful of 20/10 players in the NBA last year. Who was the last 20/10 player for the Hawks? Reef? Al almost made it. WGAF about those numbers. Have you watched Webber play his whole career? I'm sure you have. He is a selfish, SOFFFFFFT player. He likes to stand at the high spot and make pretty passes. He is a cancer. If he had an ounce of effort, the Kings could have gotten by the Lakers. The man is like 6'10" and he wants to pass all the time. Be a man. Play post D. plasy post O. I knew this move would kill A.I.. Webber started complaining about his "role" early this year. He's not my favorite, but Alan plays with effort, even if misguided. As for Webber, any man that is that tall better get 10 boards playing all game! We all know how someone can get points.

Quote: Quote: Criticsm of the new ball was widespread, with Steve Nash and Jason Kidd even complaining about cuts on their hands from the ball. WTF It's a sh!tty ball. It is mass produced and the fiber probably cracked or something.

Oh, Boy! That's another issue. He sucks hard. If you read my posts, you will see how I feel about his signing. With or without Craig, Woody is lost.

He got ejected against the Kings. We haven't been a grown-up team since then. Deke was a man!

This is his third year teke. No excuses. He is terrible. We have young players. So what. We have not improved as a team. Period. That falls on Woody. There are some roster flaws, but this is ridiculous. This team can win. They won't. They need a coach to manage them properly. That is really the only thing keeping us from a 42-50 win season. I'm not saying we would win the title, far from it. I'm saying we're a playoff team with almost any other coach, save only a few.

Great. I thought it would improve ball-handling. I didn't know it got wet. Seems to have been a terrible idea. A guy had one at the gym a few weeks ago. we played a game with it, and went back to an old Spalding. It kinda sucks. Feels too soft.

Thanks for remembering Deke. So few Hawks fans do. I know this, we will lose as long as Woody is coach. Unless we get KG for Batista, he ain't gonna win. A.I. would be unhappy losing here, just like anyone would. So, do you guys think there is a player that can save Woody? joe is a top ten player, and it isn't enough.

This is so crystal clear. Why doesn't anyone want to talk about our great coach and his inability to put players in positions to succeed? His poor coaching leads directly to turnovers, that lead to losses. It's pretty simple. Just look at the numbers.

The pick would be fine if we had a coach. Why pick Marvin, and have a coach who doesn't know how use him?

Quote: Turnovers are something I hate more than almost anything. They directly lead to a possession differential that you cannot overcome. In addition to displaying poor offensive execution with TO's, they show a lack of understanding and respect for the importance of each possession, that reflects poorly on the defense as well. So much energy is wasted "playing hard", when "playing smart" will always give you a chance to win. The link between turnovers and losing should be obvious. Here are the cold numbers for our Hawks. YR Record TO's(rank in fewest) 93' 43-39 18th 94' 57-25 9th 95' 42-40 4th 96' 46-36 9th 97' 56-26 7th 98' 50-32 9th 99' 31-19 9th 00' 28-54 16th 01' 28-57 27th 02' 33-49 26th 03' 35-47 25th 04' 28-54 26th 05' 13-69 28th 06' 26-56 28th You can say we need to do x,y,z, but limiting turnovers is the quickest way to win. I know we're playing better, but it's still too many. What exactly does our, I hesitate to use this term, "coach" do? While Woodson has been our coach, we have not improved our turnovers. In fact, we have been worse than we were with Terry Stotts. Our players still travel. They still throw the ball away. They don't box out. They don't set picks. etc.. We have, I think, two plays. He is a poor x an o coach. He also has a poor feel for substitutions. He is inadequate in every conceivable way. Again, what does he do?
