Also, we won big while only having 6(?) fast break points compared to Toronto's 20(something). Thats great half-court bball. I didn't get to see the game so I can only assume that's what it was. If we can play the half-court game with the athletes we have, it will be hard to beat us.

Right but you guys are missing one point....we already have an 15/8 type of center. So yeah we should have traded Chill and Al to draft someone we hope will become someone we already have. Brilliant.

...It's been over 12 hours and I have yet to read a post by Walter bit**ing about the team. It's like someone sprayed a whole can of "OFF" on the MB. God I love that smell.

Quote: Back in the Big Dog era *shudder* my roommate and I had a drinking game. We'd each drink 3 beers per quarter. Then, if the Hawks won, we'd drink a whole bottle of (disgusting, cheap) "champagne." If they loss, we'd drink the bottle anyways to commemorate their good effort. Did you just use "Big Dog" and good effort in the same post?

Quote: This has all been said before but this GM has ruined us by passing on the ROY, trading as a throw in the MIP, and likely passing upon this year's ROY. W Really?? It's news to me. [sarcasim off] BTW that horse has long been gone. Time to move on a deal with what we have which is a winning record at the moment. Why not enjoy it if not till next game?

Drop the false delimma, realize you are arguing for the use of a 5th pick to acquire the same type of role player according to you that we got in FAcy for peanuts, and realize your only knock on Roy is he's doing so well he might not do so well for us. La-La-La-LAME!!! Speaking of "false delimmas"... Walter you are assuming BK drafted SW with the thinking that he would be nothing more than a back up role player. In which case you would be correct in saying we could have picked up one of these in FAgency. The problem is that his thought process was that we would be getting a very good defensive player and rebounder who could also put up points at times. Maybe a 14-12-2 kind of guy. Those numbers including great defense would in fact make SW worthy of a number 5 pick in THIS draft. Therefore IF SW doesn't become that kind of player, you have every right to be critical of SW's lack of talent to evaluate players. But do not criticize him for drafting a stiff when he could have picked one up via FAgency when he simply didn't view SW as a stiff and why should he. The man was arguably one of the best collegate players last year on a very good team. WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST DEFENDER. Maybe you should actually give the guy a little more time than 3 games before you judge him a stiff. Dislike BK all you like but to assume he DECIDED to waste a top 5 draft pick on a backup player is flat out wrong.

Umm,you are kidding right?

So you think he knows he's a bad GM and purposely hires bad coaches just to take the heat? I'm not arguing he's a bad GM but I very seriously doubt he passes on good coaches just to put coaches in to take the heat. I'm pretty sure the man WANTS to win, he just doesn't seem to know how. I think he really believes our coach can get it done, and doesn't see him as just a shield. Walter your negativity is starting to make you delusional.

Every time I read your posts it's like a ray of sunshine beating down upon my face.

Quote: Hey dude, What good is an excellent show of wit and humor if it just goes down without being reviewed from time to time... You act as if you never pick up the classics from time to time... or if you never listen to an old song.... or if you never watch an old movie that you've seen before... Some posts that are classic should be reviewed for the simple wit and humor they brings. Right but you did it because it was a classic movie YOU were in or an old song YOU sang. Just sounds a little T.O.'sh to me. Beside the post actually shows how wrong you were about JT. He did pretty good in the playoffs last year no?

Am I not reading these forums right? I know Im new and all but did you just respond to your own post from 2 years ago?

Quote: Gutsy, You're kind of new here... I don't know about you elsewhere... but Hawksfans always get media day excitement about how we will be different with the addition of _______________ or with the subtraction of ____________________. You can deny deny deny all you want, But I've been talking to Hawks fans for years and it's the same thing over and over and over again... And what exactly is wrong with that? I mean the addition and subtraction of players is made to improve the team. If nothing is done we are stagnant which with our record is not a good place to be. One can only assume ANY movement made with our roster will be of benefit. Of course back in the days when we were alwasy in the playoffs it was much easier to question trades and signings and such. For example, trading Smitty for Rider. Other than the Nique trade that has to be one of the worst trades in our history. That was about the time things started going downhill. So the basment the Hawks keep finding themselves in year after year, makes it hard NOT to get excited any time there is ANY movement whatsoever. After all, how much worse can we get?

Quote: I can't be sure until the season starts. I'll admit, every time right around this year I get carried away with enthusiasm Hey, nothing wrong with that. What's the point of watching if you've already given up on them. Sure we won't make the playoffs this year but we should be an improved team(no where else to go really)and hopefully built for the long haul.

There were drugs involved?? Sweet my first post and it involves drugs and strippers. This is gonna be a sweet ride.
