we have the worst fans in the NBA we also have the worst PR department in the NBA, we also have the media coverage in the NBA.
prime example: there is a station in statesboro called CSS. at six o'clock there is a show called sportsnite that comes on (used to have jamie dukes who is now an analyst for NFL network). now this show is supposed to be about nothing but southeast sports college, high school, and pro. i sat and watched this show at least two times a week since opening night for the hawks. they would not talk about them. (grant long used to have to make them talk about the hawks but he doesn't do the show anymore) i could see why in the beginning since the falcons, braves, and college football was on, but it's now february and they still wouldn't do it!they talked about the wake forest spring football schedule instead of the hawks! HELLO! YOU'RE BASED IN ATLANTA! you really have to go all the way to reilgh, north carolina to avoid talking about joe johnson! then when the trade deadline comes, they do their first discussion about the hawks this year! and the first thing they say is "billy knight what are you doing! you want to make it to the playoffs and all you get is anthony johnson! why didn't you go for kidd or bibby! HOW ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY MAKE OVER 15 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR!
i've never seen a city media not give a team support. chicago probably has some of the meanest critics in the country but they still cheer teams on! why can't the AJC do the same thing.
i use to watch that show but they never talk about the hawks. then when they do they always be cracking on the hawks. the only person who use to talk good bout the hawks was jamie dukes and grant long and they aint on the show anymore. even tom googliota be cracking on us. they talk about anything but the hawks. it aint like anyone is watching the show but 2 people.
