He is leading this team, and when he came in there it was 26-20, the Hawks were down, now it is 33-33. Got 2 get back

HEY I NEED HELP. I AM TRYING TO PUT A PICTURE NEXT TO MY NAME AND IT AINT WORKING? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

First of all, I am 17. Secondly, the only reason I write on this site is to suppport Dan Dickau, because he is a hawk. So calm down, and don't get so upset becasue the Hawks are losing and my Kings are winning. [censored], get off my back. And Dickau will forever be a better and more recognized player than Jason Terry, period. J.T. needs to get his happy shooting ass traded. man, you really got the [censored] nerve.

Hey Hawks fans. I watched and taped the spiurs and knicks game and what I noticed that maybe you notice to is that when Dickau is in the game the Hawks are scoring more points. And what is unbelievable about it is that Dickau, the rookie, is leading it. For example, last night against the Knicks. At the end of the third quarter and start of the fourth Dickau played. He made some great shots, and some great passes that eventually led to baskets(Ham's oop was off the chain). He also made passes where he penetrated and kicked and then another player would pass the ball and have even a more open shot and make it. I believe when he went out of the game the Hawks were up 78-72. at that point, the Hawks were on a 17-2 run. And when Terry and the crew went back in, Terry made two turnovers(in 9 minutes) and the Hawks lost the game. WOW! So, in saying all this, why shouldn't the Hawks start Dickau. I mean they have tried everything else. The Hawks have tried Terry/Newble or Terry/Wilks and before E.Davis' injury Terry/Davis. Am I missing any? in addition, the Hawks are now 14-26 and are in 11th place in the east. My question is why not start Dickau and Terry in the backcourt for once, because it realy can not get any worse. P.S. The Hawks need a win tommorow for confidence, and they must win against the Cavs in Ceveland this week to establish confidence that they can play on the road too.Tommorow is a new day, the Hawks need to start it off right.

The Hawks have offensive talent. JT, Reef, and Big Dog are all legit offensive threats. The problem remains that chemisrty on the court is lacking. Unfortunately for the Hawks they need to make a trade, either this year or the next off-season. I truly believe Jason Terry needs to be traded, and maybe somebody else but if they want to make a trade I would suggest that they do it now. On the other hand, there is positive news. I believe Dan Dickau is the future of this team at the point guard poisition. Many were questioning his speed, but he has it and it is good to see that he is coming into his own. I know that right now he is shooting poorly for his standards, but he is still getting adjusted. He plays the poistion with so much enthusiasm and has a great work ethic. In addition, Mike Wilks also is a solid pick up. He reminds me of a very good Randy Brown. Wilks provides the defense and mistake free game that Brown brought to many teams during his time. Wilks also played in a local summer league team here in Sacramento, where he showed off his skills against semi-pro players. Anyways, just look forward to the all-star game and it's festivities February 7th-9th. Peace.

One player I would trade Jason Terry for is Eddie jones. The Atlanta Hawks would have a legit 2 guard, and they could than put Dickau and wilks at the point and see how that works out. DIESEL what do you think of this? Dan and Mike could share minutes at the point and they would compliment each other as each grows into his own. Another player I would trade Jason Terry for is Dale Davis and Bonzi Wells, but the Hawks would have to throw in Theo. I could see that. No matter what, any trade this season will help for next year, but than the players would have to start all over in making chemisrty with each other on the court.

listen HOT ATLANTA, you have been criticzing my writing ever since I have posted letters on here. The only reason I write n this page is to give my number one player DAN DICKAU some support. You can check all of the past posts that I have written and they will say that I knew dickau would be good. I mean he had 10 dimes and 8 points plus 2 steals in 32 minutes off the bench. He runs the PG position as a rookie better than JT does NOW! JT is a [censored] good player, don't get me wrong, but he is not a point guard, period. Dickau is, and JT will most likey be moved this year, or next off-season. Mark my words and print it up.

As all of you know, I live in Sacramento and I know all of the Sacrameto Kings players in deep detail. The Hawks do not need Turkoglu and for thqt matter wither do the Kings. Hedo is very inconsistant with his jump shot and decisiveness. He is a good back up and a decent starter, and right now the hawks don't need decent....they need good and solid talent. But I am predicting that the Kings will move him one way or antother. They need the room for GFerald Wallace to grow and mature. Wallace is very athletic, plays real hard, and ahas a great work ethic. He will be a star some day...I guarntee it.

THANK YOU. Jason Terry is a good basketball player, but he is not a point guard. Point Guards are and have to be smart, and Jason Terry doesn't show that on a consistant basis. Personally, I would let him walk after this year. His stats might look good, the same goes with Reef and G-Rob but stats doesn't mean s**t !!!!!!

No doubt, Pierce is WAY better than G-Rob. Robinson is an offensive threat-when I was watching him play he could definitely his the jumper, but Pierce is WAY more athletic, can pass better, and rebound better. Plus, he gives more effort. And look at his team....all they have is a bunch of complimentary players and Walker who is an all around player. So if you look at both teams on paper the Hawks look better, but who is chalking up victories and who isn't........THERE IS NO COMPARISON. THAT IS LIKE TRYING TO COMPARE REEF TO WEBBER.

Although I live in Sacramento and don't get to see the Hawks play much, I see the highlights, I read the articles, I look at the box scores and it is not pretty. There are may Hawks fans who are constantly complaining about Big Dog and his production and is " he a cancer", then you guys cry about Reef and that he is not a "leader" or thathe does not play "defense". Well, if you look at the past posts that I have written I predicted this. The Hawks are a solid offensive team when look looking at them on paper. I mean, look at it: 1)J.T. 2)Newble 3)Big Dog 4)Reef 5)Theo There are three legit scorers. The problem is laziness. The games I had the chance to observe, the Hawks go through the "motions". Do you know what I am talikin about? Secondly, as I said before, the Hawks need to make fornt office adjsutments with the addition of a new rack of players. I would definitely not do it this year, but in the next offseason. Third, I stated before that there would be chemistry problems, and God as my witness, they look like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off. Finally, I do believe that the season CAN STILL BE A SUCCESS, meaning they can still make the playoffs. But they better get a move on it.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Dan Dickau took 3-pointers, mid-range floating jumpers, or drove straight to the basket. He did so whenever he wanted, no matter how big the situation. The bigger the game, the better Dickau seemed to play. And if he didn't make the shot? He wasn't afraid to take another on the next possession. Few players in the country could do what he did over the course of 40 minutes. Or, in the case of the West Coast Conference title game, down the stretch. With Gonzaga trailing by 11 points in the second half against Pepperdine, Dickau scored 19 points in six minutes as the Zags took control of the game and clinched their fourth straight WCC title. So, think the Zags might have a tough time replacing Dickau? Ahh, yeah. Dickau just might be the toughest player to replace in the country. Period. Yes, Duke needs to find a replacement for the 2002 national player of the year and its leader, point guard Jay Williams. Cincinnati is searching for someone to take, and make, the big shots Steve Logan handled last year. And Final Four teams Indiana and Kansas lost their leading scorers in Jared Jeffries and Drew Gooden, respectively. But Dickau was Mr. Everything for Gonzaga, a scoring point who was never too far from delivering the winning shot or a game-changing pass. He was, after all, Gonzaga's first and only first-team All-American. "Dan provided so many things to this team,'' said fifth-year senior Zach Gourde. "He wasn't just a scorer or a point guard, but he was a big emotional influence. He was the leader, the social director. It's hard to replace someone who filled so many dimensions." "Dan was very special here," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said of Dickau, who was also one of five Wooden Award finalists last season. "He had the ball in his hands a lot. We won't just miss his scoring but his decisions, too." So, after all that praise and admiration for the NBA first-round pick and Atlanta Hawks rookie, how can Gonzaga actually believe it could be better this season without him? How can the Zags begin to replace him? Collectively. "Last year, if Dan went down we were done," Few said. "This year we've got the depth at every spot to actually absorb injuries, foul trouble or sickness, which has a tendency to hit you at some point during the year." But who will take the shots when the game is on the line? Apparently, junior guard Blake Stepp (35.6 percent on 3s, 9.2 ppg) is the first option. And junior sharp-shooter Kyle Bankhead (41.2 on 3s) is ready if Stepp is covered. That was the trend at least in practice recently, with the ball being whipped around the perimeter to Stepp or Bankhead, or kicked back out to one of them on the perimeter after it went inside. But Stepp doesn't sound too convincing, even if his teammates are starting to believe that he'll be the first choice. "I'll give it to Blake," sophomore forward Ronny Turiaf said. "I'll just get the rebound." "Hopefully it will be me," said Stepp, who is healthy for the first time since his freshman year after struggling with a bum knee as a sophomore. "I've been working on my shooting for the first time in two summers and getting a lot of shots up. Hopefully (my teammates) will find out after I hit a couple of big ones that they can be confident in me shooting late in a game." Stepp, however, is still more of a traditional system shooter, getting the ball off a skip pass or a screen out of the flex offense. He's not like Dickau, who could dribble down the lane, bounce the ball a few times to get open, and then hit a deep 3-pointer or create a little space for himself with a stutter step and pull-back jumper. Stepp will have to play the point, or at least get the ball over halfcourt to jump-start the offense. When he's not on the court, or when he's sharing time with senior Winston Brooks (out of the WCC last season with a wrist injury), Brooks will handle the ball. -Andy Katz, ESPN senior writer

Take it easy. The Lakers didn't have Shaq! Remember that! Possibly the most dominant player EVER! LOL!

Take it easy. The Lakers did nt have Shaq! Remember that! Possibly the most dominant player EVER! LOL!

DJ MONEY YOU WERE ALL MONEY WITH THAT ANALYSIS!

It is pretty hard to win in Jersey home boy! Get pumped the Hawks are kickin' butt! And get excited about JT for God's sake, he has a good game and you aint even arguing with me, is something wrong with you?

I don't who is worse, Antonio Harvey or this McKaskil dude! LOL!

kwame had 20 pts. he truly has improved, no doubt as wizards crush 0-2 celtics!

STOCKTON HAD 3 TO'S. I TAPED THE GAME, MAN! PLEASE DON'T COME AT ME WITH STATS! ESPECIALLY WITH MY ROLE MODEL STOCKTON WHO I TRULY ADMIRE WITH NASH, AND OF COURSE DICKAU! BUT YOU ARE RIGHT JT CROSSED STOCKTON TWICE, IN THE 1ST QRT. AND 3RD. QRT.

Way to go Hawks. Listen to these stats: JT: 21 pts, 13 dimes, 2stl(6to's-who cares) Reef:17pts, 5 reb. Big Dog: 30 pts. 7 dimes 4 reb. And the Hawks looked good because....Theo played the whole game, and Reef was back contributing. A solid overall game, and they should win Saturday against the Bulls. I taped the game becaue of Dickau and Stockton, re-uniting as Gonzaga stars. By the way, Stockton had 15 pts., 11 dimes- in 29 MINUTES!! the dude has game! AND AT THE AGE OF 40! WOW! I have to go watch the Kings! I am out!

The Hawks look much better than they did last night, as I predicted and expected. Tonight, the Hawks seem to be shooting better. Robinson is having another huge game, and the Hawks bench actually looked impressive in sustaining that lead in the beginning of thes second quarter, even expanding on it. Theo is looking good, but overall the Hawks are playing much better and really they don't have to worry about transition defense since they are playing the Jazz. Stockton still looks good too, man that guy is the best point guard ever in my eyes. Well, I am going to get back to watching. Go Hawks! Go Kings!

Hey man, don't worry about the NETS just worry about the HAWKS. I have got to go. Oh yeah Francis had 4 dimes.

Hey man, don't worry about the NETS just worry about the HAWKS. I have got to go.
