Come on. These fouls on Horford are pretty lame.

I like that AJ is finding Al on the pick and roll. Al hardly ever gets the ball there, and he should.

Quote: Shelden!!! Yeah, I like what he's doing. I like how he grabbed that last rebound.

Quote: Anybody got a link? I'm here at Emory and we dont get the TV channel the Hawks come on. Unfortunately, they aren't on the radio tonight either. *sigh* I'm hearing it on 790 AM. You can also find a link on the NBA website. There is a League Audio Pass page.

I've seen Shelden miss a TON of rebounds because he just doesn't go after the ball. It can fall into his lap, and he weakly goes after it, and too often he knocks it out of bounds or a player on the other team knocks it out of his hands. I just wish he could consistently grab the rebounds that come to him.

Interesting questions Diesel. 1. Who is untouchable? JJ, Al, Smoove, Marvin. 2. Who should we trade? Speedy, Lo Wright, Zaza, Shelden 3. Who do we want taking the last shot? JJ, Lue or Marvin 4. Who cannot take the last shot? Shelden, AJ 5. What do we need Most? A defensive center. 6. What do we need the least? Swingman. 7. What do we think we need but probably don't? Another PG.

Quote: ] I was in Section 111 with my one of my friends. What about you? We were in section 122. It was me, Yardbird, JDawgflow, aznsensation, and we could hear who we thought was Oken from down the row. All of us brought someone with us too. It was definitely a nice treat to hang out with people at a game. I'm usually there by myself or with my fiance only.

Quote: I don't know about the rest of you but it was alot of fun seeing fellow squawkers at the game who truely follow this team with passion. Several squawkers bring dates or friends and inturn, hopefully, turn them on to the Hawks too. Maybe Sorthon can give some word to the marketing dept. for us. Yeah, I thought it was awesome sitting with the Squawkers and it made it a lot of fun. I kinda talk a lot though, so I hope I didn't annoy anybody. We were really getting the cheers going and I think it helped get other people around us into the game too. I think a Hawksquawk section with some discounted tickets would be great. I think it would be good for them to have fans with as much passion as we have at the games.

Quote: Joe is fading back and kicking that right foot out on his jumper. That is a bad habit that he has gotten into. He will get his shot back when he starts back going straight up and down on the jumper. I agree, I've been saying the same thing. He had a spot up 3 he made where he had nice perfect form with no fading or anything. I want to see more of that consistent straight up jumper. When he is double and triple teamed he doesn't get those kinds of opportunities, but I'd rather see him pass out of those anyway.

I had a good time in section 122. I was sitting near Yardbird, aznsensation, and JDawgflow. We had a good time cheering and talking about the Hawks. It was nice to have people to talk basketball with, I'm so used to going by myself. Thank goodness we won though. I was pretty upset for a couple minutes there when we weren't getting any rebounds and kept turning the ball over. We didn't lose faith though, and I think our "D-Fence" chants in the fourth quarter really turned the tide of the game.

Quote: Quote: Imagine Shelden in Nbdl, he would be a beast. As much as I've supported Shelden, I'm beginning to lose confidence. Guys like Smith (tonight) and Maxiel and Milsap are doing so much better. Yeah, I would love to have Maxiell on the Hawks.

Quote: I would be up for meeting at halftime. Maybe in front of the Hawks souvenier store? This sounds good to me! Everyone, if you are interested in meeting other Hawksquawkers, meet up outside the main Hawks souvenir store. We can probably even all go together to meet up in 2 groups, since all of us are in section 111 and 122 it looks like. I can browse Hawksquawk on my phone, so I will come back to this thread and find where you said you were sitting and hunt you down if you don't show up. Oh, someone bring a camera too!

I'm in section 122, row M, seat 1 and 2. So I'll probably see you oken. I'll be wearing a black jacket and a blue button up shirt. My fiance will be with me too. We should all try to meet up at half-time or something. I'd say meet before, but I won't be there till right at tip.

That's part of why I love when Salim is in the game. He takes threes, but he is confident he can make them. I hate watching guys pass up their highest percentage shots just to pass to JJ which turns into a bad position where he is getting double teamed. Our guys need to take advantage when they are left open or have a mismatch. Also, when teams double the ball handler on pick and rolls, we have GOT to find an open man. We always end up waiting too long and letting their defense regroup.

No one fouled Shelden there huh. This is getting difficult to watch.

Wow, this just keeps getting worse. Joe still can't hit a wide open shot, and AJ is shooting airball 3s. edit; oh yeah, and no one can stop tayshaun prince, no matter how well you guard him.

Every time the Hawks win, I get excited about them, then every game they play like this I want to shoot myself.

Yeah, we are still giving up way too many offensive rebounds. We're not turning it over a ton, but we still aren't finding the open man very often. Joe has forced a few shots, and has missed the others anyway. Josh Smith has been invisible, partly because of foul trouble. We need Joe and Josh to show up in the second half if we are gonna win this. We are lucky to only be down 9.

Hopefully if we drive to the hoop with 1 second left we get the same kind of home cooking Detroit got last game.

Wow, I was gonna call the poster who asked that question an idiot, but it is our local newspaper asking it. Give me a break.

Yeah, I've heard about it on the radio. I'm pretty sure Cleveland is going to match. I even read that it is LESS than what Cleveland offered earlier, but with a player option after two years instead of 3 guaranteed years.

Quote: I missed the draft and struggled all year. What's up with all of the dead teams?(atlas, etc.) I put out trade feelers and received exactly zero in return. No one even tried to rape me. It's hard to play when no one plays with you. I thought Fantasy sports were all about trading? This is the only team I had. I don't have 50 teams. I think that's pretty weak. I try to treat it as real as possible. I suspect this wasn't a priority league for many and the attention just wasn't there. I still had fun, but... could have been a lot better. Belive it or not I have been playing fantasy football for probably 4 years now, and I have had 2 teams a year, and this year I have 3. I don't think I have ever made a trade. I have even won leagues a couple times.

Wow, that sounds awesome bumpy. Getting your jersey autographed is pretty sweet too. I didn't notice you on TV, but I forgot to look.

I agree with some of what you are saying, but he has got to be smarter about it.

Can someone please tell Josh Smith not to run the fast break??? ESPECIALLY if he is outnumbered. PLEASE!!!!
