vs Phoenix(L) Fri 09 @ Boston(L) Sun 11 vs Washington (W) Wed 14 vs Charlotte(W) Fri 16 vs Seattle (W) Sat 17 @ Milwaukee(L) Tue 20 vs San Antonio(L) Sat 24 @ Minnesota(W) Tue 27 @ Chicago(w) Wed 28 vs Milwaukee(W) Fri 30 vs New Orleans(L) anyone see it different

the problem is we dont have good point guards and we do attempt to run we only have one threat which is smoove and teams always cut him off he has to find away to get a dunk when we fast break.

Quote: I There was a buzz about Smoove in the crowd, from the warmups to the end. And they boo'd him LOUDLY, when he didn't dunk. Every steal and every block from, the fans were ooooooing and ahhhing. People outside of Atlanta, think he's a star. They don't look at his statline. ive always knew he was popular in other states outside of atlanta. i remember my homie who goes to FAMU in florida told me smith is popular with heat fans. and my other homie who is a truck driver told me he is popular in LA, NY and boston. so smith is one of the most popular players to not make an allstar game in the nba.

Quote: 4. Better start playing better cause Woody will bench you.(You are better as a energy guy anyways). its only the first 2 games..chill

this team will win 44 games this year.im not panicing on smoove...unless 20 games into the season hes still sucking ass on offense

outside of the big 3 and kristic i cant name anymore nets players. jj and vince will be going at it in the game. smoove may break out of his offensive funk this game because he usually does well against the nets...or the suns game.

most of joshes mistakes is when he is posting up. he has new jersey and pheonox next so he should do ok.

what i noticed is josh doesnt know what the hell hes doing on offense. and i think its confusing him forreal. is he a jump shooter...no is he a post up guy...no is he a slasher...kind of i think he needs to drive to the basket with authority IMO. hes driving the ball like a little [censored], he needs to dunk on some folks. and he needs to catch some alleys...if all that happens his jump shot will come. and if he slows down and get big on the block it will help him. he is 9/33 in 2 games..damn come on smoove GET YO STUFF TOGETHA!!!!!

does anybody have to 2005 dunk contest(with no music) its not on youtube.

Quote: I"m not sure what anyone was expecting. Even I had unrealistic hopes for the team this season, but truth be told, we were in rebuilding mode with or without vick. We wouldn't be much better now with him than we are without him. The only thing I see wrong is the lack of professionalism from some of these players. I can understand players not liking a coach who doesn't grab ass with them like Mora did, but you still go out and do your job. If they can't handle that, they should be cut or traded, point blank. I don't blame Petrino at all. He was brought in to bring some discipline to the team and I commend him for realizing that he needed to ease back on the hard-assness some. I have no sympathy for the players though. They're grown men and this is football. There's no crying in football... Once we weed out the candy asses and get players who fit what Petrino likes to do, we'll find success again. He's the right coach for this team. His situation and demeanor aren't much different than Belichick's was when he started in Cleveland. You had people and players who all hated him but once he was given the chance to get his system in place(for another team) he showed that his way is the right way. I think we'll see the same from Petrino down the road too. we wouldnt 1/6 if vick was here, we would be 4/3 at least if vick was here. im sorry if the truth hurts but it had to be said

answer and discuss

when half time rolls around, somebody post the boxscore please

not a very good list. our second option is josh smith. i dont see marvin being our second option, nor childrees and definatly not sheldon. second you have orlando 4th on that list thats way to high. yall are overrating them just because they added reshawd lewis. i think we can be better than orlando and toronto and possibly new jersey but i know we should be on of the best 8 teams in the east.

Quote: Shaq, Gary Payton, Kidd, Mourning, Dikembe? Iverson, Kobe, TMac? Carter? Brandt? Nowitzky? Pierce? Grant Hill? Ray Allen? Who else? everybody outside of brand and grant hill are sure locks(even if they never win chapionships)

Quote: Wow. I didn't realize the preseason games will begin oct 8th. Do the games get televised anywhere? not that i know of. you can probably here them at nba.com. u might get to watch the preseason games online as well

WHO GIVES A DAMN...I DONT

is anybody a member of realgm with a free email account? im trying to get on and im not finna pay for an email just for realgm. i know i made a thread about this already but please help me.

its a good win by the falcons, howbesoever im not the one whos is gonna come here and start the "get a diss on vick since we finally won a game" no, joey harrington is a good QB but we won because of our recievers. hue jackson and joe horn(dispite him being none existant) help them boyz out and you see that they are commin back for the ball, getting yards after the catch etc. i stll think we will only win 5 or 6 games(if that much) but if joey can avoid his old joey ways then their MIGHT BE HOPE to go 500. but i am impressed even though i think we would be better than 1-3 if vick was qb but joey is surprising me.

Quote: Quote: harris is overrated ALOT. folks in dallas wants to get rid of jason terry because they think harris is gonna transforn to jason kidd. and he is overrated on desfense ALOT. i rather have a undersize shooting guard giving me 16 points a and 4 assists a game then and point guard giving me 11 points and 2 assists a game is mediocre on defense. I think you UNDERestimate Harris as a PG due to the stars he puts up in that system. i dont think he will put up much assists because dirk,stack, howard likes to create for themselves so not that many assist to go around. he mill probably average 5 or 6 assists at best but he wont have any impact what so ever scoring wise.

Quote: Portland (18) and Seattle (14) have 34 national tv games opposed to 1 for the Hawks. I believe we will have a better team and record than both. I hope the networks have flex scheduling unless our "national televised" is on espn, abc, or tnt then its not a real NTG.

Quote: just my opinion, but the banner you were talking about on that other site looks terrible. It would take a minimal amount of work to create something of such low quality, and Hawksquawk has several people (myself included) that I think can do ALOT better. anyway -- theres was something posted recently about changes that are coming, so just keep your eyes open. I'm sure Hawksquawk wont let you down it aint that cheap, i think the banners in the middle look hella cool, yall should have that for 4-6 of our players. plus, when you make the new site dont put zaza on the front page. and im sure yall wont let me down at all!!!!! but what do you think about 3,4,5, and 6?

i now the moderators made a thread saying that it will change but this site should be much darker a much darker, harder and more entertaining look for this site because i dont think hawks.com will ever be up to par with the falcons website but this site can. heres my suggestions 1. the background color should be navy blue, the font should be silver and avatars/banners outline colors should be red. 2. take a look at this site www.trutanksoldiers.com u see that banner at the very top where it says trutanksoldiers, their should be a banner just like this on this site except i would put joe johnson, salim staudemire and marvin williams and horford on the right and josh smith, josh childress ac law and sheldon on the left . in the middle i would put a big hawk logo i the middle(maybe a blue and silver pacman or one of the new logos). 3. take off the status part a make a vertical rectangle and put home, players, forums, your account, and recommend us. put those i that rectangle box on the top left hand corner. 4. get rid of that upcoming events and put another vertical rectanle that has the status, online, and new member all in the rectangle. 5. completely get rid of that top 10 posters and replace it with current threads. 6. one thing i hate about this site is when i click forums i can never click a thread, its always a reply. when i click forums i want the thread title not a reply. what yall think.
