Murat

Quote: He still pounded and let Barea do whatever he wanted. He hit some shots but did we ride him too much tonight? AJ looked a little pissed late in the game and we can't have Lue thinking he's the man. I can't wait for Law to put him on the bench. Preferably on another team's. I agree, Lue can win a game but he also can kill our momentum for good with his pounding.

Does Horford still start when Zaza comes back? Does AJ still start despite his bad performance in the opener? When will Speedy be ready? I think we are going to need his defense.

Why is everybody talking about this freaking blonde? Does anyone have a picture of her?

He played well, he is one of our more consistent players. It's opening night + we won give it a break man. We can't have everyone with the perfect statline, tonight it's the Chill that stunk. Next game could be Smoove, Joe or Marvin that have off night. If we had lost i would blame him, but we barely win games and especially against teams like Dallas. So don't worry about CHill and enjoy this victory.

Quote: Quote: I really hope we come out running this year...I dont want to see us sitting in the half court O the entire game. OMG if we don't run I'll be so disappointed especially since they have been building that up. It will be awesome if we started running from tip off. GS beat Dallas because they were running, Dallas beat Cavs last game because Cavs are halfcourt team. We need to run on them i agree.

Chill----24 Speedy---29 Marvin---21 JJ-------26 Zaza-----23 Horford--21 Mario----23 Lue -----30 Anthony--33 Law------22 Solomon--23 Smoove---21 Salim----25 Shelden--24 Lorenzen-32 That's 377 total divided by 15 equals 25.133.

That's good news for Marvin fans if you know what i mean.

Quote: Quote: Why is Marvin walking on 1 leg only? Obviously that is because he is sleep walking. I can't believe this, I thought he was to breakout this season and now i see this. Please don't show it to Diesel./

haha, booo better than last year at least. Why is Marvin walking on 1 leg only?

Quote: Quote: Yep i don't think Horford has a shot. If AL gets 20 attemts on nightly basis than he would easily be ROY. The best i think Al can be this season is something like this: 15ppg 9.5reb 2.5apg 1.5bpg on high fg%. I would take these numbers over Durant's 20 and 5 on a sub 40fg% any day. They will give it to Durant anyways because he is more "exciting" to watch. those are better than marion's numbers last year. if horford manages those stats i would be beyond happy, but i doubt he will be THAT good in his rookie year. i'd love to be surprised, though. I know those numbers are over the top, but that's why i said the BEST he can be this year. It will be more like 12 and 7 though.

Also i saw Zaza eat at "Maggiano's Little Italy". The Italian mafia will come for him and he will end up playing in Italy this year. There is nothing wrong with his knees, that's why Horford is starting.

We need a REAL thread maker bad. I think it was Gsuteke last year that did most of them, but they were just too simple. Maybe Teke steps up this year though.

The Hawks average age is 25.023, something like that.

NO, NO and NO! What's wrong with you people? We need to get better as a team. We got talent, but we don't have enough vets and other pieces(center, enforcer,shutdown defender, another shooter and on...) There is nothing wrong with JJ saying that we need to get better. He is right and should be aplauded, he doesn't want to be a part of a team that has the longest playoff drought in the nba. He is the face of the franchise, if he doesn't say anything than WHO WILL?

Quote: No. They have a bad mix of no D players. I pass. I will pass too, i don't even have to say why.

Quote: One of Seatles centers may be available. Speaking of Seattle's centers, Did you see Robert Swift's new look?

Shame on you guys, JOE IS RIGHT we need more pieces! What's wrong with saying that? That's why the Hawks are a losing team, because they have a pathetic fan base. The guy is asking GM to improve the team and than everyone jumps on his ass for that. Well he should stay quiet i guess and lose games for these pathetic fans who don't agree with him. JOE JOhnson you are 100% right, put pressure on Billy and ASG to improve the team. If you don't do it nobody else will because noone cares about the Hawks in this town anyways. I see some people are saying WHY RUIN THE 7-1 preseason and mess up the team just before the season starts. Those people think we will contented for a championship this season and he is destroying our chemistry which is total BS. What this city needs is more people to follow Hawks and put pressure on BK and ASG, not jump on Joe for saying it. Joe should be applauded for this, because he could of been quiet and play out his rich contract live a wonderful life and don't care if the team wins or loses. Instead Joe is improving his game every year + he wants to win so bad that he is putting pressure on his GM even though he is known to be quiet. Trust me if Joe doesn't care he would easily stay quiet about it and make that money without stressing. He can still get a huge contract somewhere else if he plays bad his first years here and than explodes in his contract year. But Joe wants to improve his game and this team obvoisuly. Joe cares for the Hawks DO you?

Quote: Let's just keep in mind here that Riley is talking about the 2006-07 Atlanta Hawks who finished with the 4th worst record in the league and finished last in the Southeast Division. I don't take this as that biga deal. I don't think this was intended to be a rip on the 2007-08 squad. Exatcly if anyone is too get pissed of about this, it's the Blazers fans. He said that Blazers are worst team in the Nba this season. I wish we sweep the Heat this year though.

Quote: I like that line-up against Dallas and Detroit. Dallas As far as big's go: Dirk vs JSmith - Dirk is a permeter player which is fine for Smith, plus Josh is faster than Dirk. Diop vs Al - Diop is bigger, but has limited offensive moves and Al played well against Oden, so I suspect he can handle a second tier center, plus Al is faster and has better footwork. Others: Harris vs AJ - hopefully the crafty veteran can come out and play, but The Law should get some time (my only worry) Jones vs JJ - no worries at all Stack vs Marvin - He's too slow for Marvin, but hopefully he won't be the crafty veteran As far as their bench we just have to handle Terry an Howard, but they do have to deal with the runnig/defense Chill/Law/Mario and hopefully hot Salim/Chill Detroit: The only match-ups I don't like are: Prince vs MWilliams Bullips vs AJ (Chill/Law may have to get some time here) I believe we will do well against: Wallace vs Al McDyess vs Smith Murry vs JJ Rip didn't play against the Wiz so hopefully he won't be playing on Sunday, but I believe JJ can handle him. I do like our bench against their's We should beat Dallas and Detroit will be tough. You are right we matchup with Dallas well in every position, except the TEAM BALL. Dallas is a better team, they actualy have a system and they know their roles.

Quote: Wallace/Noah Aldridge/Noah would be better than Wallace/Noah ???????/THomas Don't get mad, but that's how i feel.
