  1. So shouldn't Fantasy talk be on another forum as well?
  2. I stopped reading @ "Joe Johnson has the gaudy numbers..."
  3. That's what Kobe puts up on an off day.
  4. Anyone else tired of Josh's lazy transition D? It's actually getting worse.
  5. Because they haven't had a coach with the cojones to tell them otherwise. Off topic....what is this "Warn Status?"
  6. Then maybe you should rephrase what you said to Smoove having the better series. On a nightly basis, throughout their careers, Al has shown more heart. In fact, that is Smooves main problem. He gives no consistent effort. Effort=Heart. Al had a rough series but has shown more heart (effort) in his little pinky than Smoove has in his whole inflated head.
  7. Complete BS. So what you're saying is coaches need good defensive players to be good defensive coaches? These were all young guys that Woody helped draft. They were young athletic guys who should have been able to be coached how to play D. You're giving players way too much credit for defensive schemes/philosophies. Even then those were the players Woody wanted.
  8. Too bad we ran that switching D no matter if Bibby was on the court or not. Or no matter if that put Al guarding a PG or not. Our D was well below what it should have been and that had everything to do with a coach that couldn't or wouldn't make defensive adjustments based on situations. He wanted it done his way and was going to coach that way no matter who was on the court. Well, his way got himself a demotion that he was lucky to get. Like you said he could have easily put a legit C in to guard legit C's. He could have also used Teague to guard PGs. Did he do that when a PG started abusing Bibby? No, he let Al guard him. Like I said, He's simply not the "defensive guru" that some make him out to be.
  9. Umm, he was fouled on 4 of those shots.
  10. If he's the best player in a Hawks uni next year we are screwed.
  11. Too bad you didn't start this thread to talk about the propagation of the stereo type or the loss of a poor innocent woman. You made this thread to say "nanny nanny boo boo" to those who were wrong about him. So step down sir.
  12. Did you just say Josh has more heart than Al? Wow, see I think it's the exact opposite. Josh has more natural talent than Al but Al does more with what he has. The reason Al does more with what he has is because he has more heart.
  13. Despite having one of the youngest and most athletic teams at his disposal, we were never that good on D. In fact, it's arguable that our switching D was an actual negative. Never mind, it's not really arguable.
  14. I agree with all of it except HItchiker's Guide. That movie was fantastic. Sam Rockwell and Mos Def's performances were brilliant. Fear and Loathing is one of my top 5 movies ever. Depp was spot on and Del Torro should have won an award. Book was great (I love Hunter's works) but the movie was even better. One of the few times I'll ever say that about a movie. Not hating though cause you've nailed everything else. Of Mice and Men was another great read and great movie as well (the one with Gary Sinise and John Malkovich). I agree. I love King but his movies usually make the straight to DVD list. I hate that Comcast killed his latest project. That one should have been interesting.
  15. Whoa, I've been away too long. First North not stoked about any Hawks's lineup and then D saying we should keep Marvin. In the same thread. My head hurts. But we do need a trade to make it past the first round again. Barring Teague playing like an Allstar (which is possible) this team, as formed, will have an early exit once again.
  16. It's getting a lot of criticism and, the more I think about it, rightfully so. To those of us who are semi-normal caring parents who, for the most part, do all we can to protect our children, this is a very entertaining book. Unfortunately some kids actually live with their parents doing more than thinking these thoughts and actions out. There are plenty of children living in this world that actually live out the fantasy. I can see how many would be offended by it. Unless you've lived it, it's got to be hard to understand their POV. Plus, imagine if a youngster who's just learned to read accidently finds the book thinking it's, as it's marketed, a children's book. Can you imagine what would go through their minds as they read this? They're not old enough to grasp the concept and would probably be horrified thinking their parent's think this way about them. Not saying I agree one way or another but definitely some food for thought.
  17. Please stop with the Dwight *ss kissing. He is the enemy right now. Last thing on my mind is worshipping his *ss.
  18. Am I really that old?!? Some of you have never seen Damien play? Good pick up. I'd have traded Mo for him strait up.
  19. Why would you want to party with the enemy? These young punks in the NBA today would get their *ss's handed to them if they tried this stuff back in the days. Sound's like Drew's on to something. Let's see if our "GM" has the fortitude to do anything about it.
  20. LOL @ you thinking this is a Sund controlled team. What you're witnessing is a Spirit controlled team.
  21. Why are we using average statistics to declare this trade a wash? It's not really that simple. Fact is Marvin isn't getting any better. In this system, he is actually getting worse. Given the system we are running I'd make the trade. He certainly couldn't play any worse than Marv in it and if he did we could actually trade him. Question really is why wouldn't we? The players are a wash at the very least (with one possibly being better in our offense), only we can actually trade one of them if he doesn't perform. To me it would seem like a good move for the team's possible present and definite future to make the trade. Just my 2 cents.
  22. If Al was our starting 3 both Horf and Josh would foul out of every game.
  23. Speaking of short term memory read my last sentence in my last post concerning matchups vs Josh playing the SF position.. If the majority of the NBA is starting PF's at the SF position then WTF does it matter if Josh is a SF? or better yet, obviously the rest of the NBA has a different opinion that some of you as to what a SF's abilities should be. So, in short, if he's only facing a legit allstar SF every 20 games then who cares if Josh can guard a "legit" SF? Why is Josh shooting less FT's a bad thing? The guy can't shoot them. He keeps shooting like this and he'll officially become a better jump shooter than free throw shooter.
  24. Smith wasn't guarding the "team" he was guarding a normally good shooting SF. Plus you have to give Josh some credit for him making Beasley shoot those long jumpers/threes. Like you said he had a career game. No one, including myself and Josh, expected Hickson to shoot like that much less keep making it. He did the right thing initially playing off of him not expecting him to keep it up. However, he should have got in his face a little more after he realized he wasn't going to be missing any time soon. By then it was too late. That was def a poor adjustment on defense by Smoove but that was a freak performance that was properly game planned for. But you're right in that he shouldn't be considered a SF and I think it's a matchup issue whether or not Josh can play SF successfully during a game.
  25. Oh no. KG is smart enough to not cost his team games/title by getting into a fight with another player. The things we criticize players for. I much prefer KG's trash talking team oriented loyal persona to a rooks look at me selfish dance crap. Guess we have a difference of opinions about who should represent the NBA in this thread. John Wall can suck it. I wouldn't. Can stand "me first" players in ANY sport. They don't win championships. I'd take 5 KG's in his prime over 5 Wall's in a heartbeat. So would any other GM.
