I was wondering the same then looked at the schedule. Pretty soon we have 8 games in twelve days including 4 sets of back to backs and a road trip through the Texas triangle. This could be the Hawks toughest month of the season and they look really good. Woo hoo.

We're ranked ninth on NBA.com

I would say we were still a matchup problem for them even on the road, unfortunately no one but Joe and occassionally Al knew it. We were just a bad road team all season.

I couldn't vote because to me there were a number of factor. We were a bad matchup for the Celtics. It didn't show during the regular season because we played much better in the playoffs due to being sparked by the crowd and being sparked by the playoffs. We won game 4 because of JJ. Also at times, Josh Smiths', Bibby's, and Marvin's stepping up made it possible to win.

In the words of Val Kilmer playing Doc Holiday, "I'm your Huckleberry". I'm willing to bet, money going to Hawksquawk of course, that the Hawks "winning record window" starts this season. Oh and again, you can still start a new thread.

I thought fellow squawker would enjoy this so I posted it.http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnatio...&listId=172

I'm a little late to the party but I had to try it out for awhile. Can't even remember which one I voted for, but I love this new system. Thanks guys.

I don't know if we're allowed to do that. Oh, wait. This is a message board. Anyone can start a thread. It's really not that hard.

I'll probably have to go with Pryzbila.

I pretty much fell in love with her after that movie. I was like even if I knew she was vampire underneath I'd still think about it.

What players fit this category. I need names.

Oh yea. Her friends at the end during the dance too. Damn.

Geena Davis in Long Kiss Goodnight. The part where she's being tortured in the water and has only her slip. Talk about camel toe. lawd have mercy. Also the Jamie Lee Curtis dance in True Lies is a good one.

That's funny as hell. Saw a couple of other parts i like too.

I'm glad I didn't go see this. Me and my lady were going to go see this movie over the weekend but she vetoed it. "We"(hee, hee) decided not to go see anything at all and instead wait for tropic thunder on Wednesday.

I think it would be smart to put JJ slightly ahead of both Marvin and Bibby. 09-10 will be his last year. If he's not extended he'll be playing that year with no job security and will still be in his prime. A position I'm sure he won't like to be in. I said in another post that when Phoenix played around with him, he bolted here for Atlanta. If we feel like we don't need him anymore than that's one thing, but either this year or next sumnmer we had better deal with him. With JJ, we know a new contract won't be a reason for him to get lazy. We have no questions about how hard he'll play. That worth something I would think.

Damn, how could I forget about the Spurs. Dirk is good but not Dwayne Wade good. See finals. As far as Webber goes he's chocked in the clutch since his days at Michigan. See no more time outs game. With either one I'm not sure if they were gold medal players by the standards in that article. I think it's more about our role players and not about money because we already have 3 to 5 guys who could be our core players going foward. Most of our role players going foward should be draft picks. I said should be. Well then we have the right coach already....I'm just the messanger.

A article posted here a week or so ago about the superstar theory and this Link got me thinking about the if the Hawks will have a championship window. For the most part we don't have a player like what the superstar theory calls a gold medal athlete. Neither do the Pistons. The Mavericks and Sacramento didn't have one either. Out of these teams only the Pistons won a title but they all had championship windows. The Pistons may still be in their championship window and have probably had the longest of all the current nba teams. If the Hawks don't have a Gold Medal player I do believe they still have the core to create a championship window. When that window will come and how long it will last is what I'd like to board to give their input on. IMOO it is 3 years away. The biggest obstacle to reaching that window now is whether we can keep the PRODUCTION of Joe Johnson. If it can't be replaced collectively by our youngins than we need to extend Joe this season. We see how he was when he wasn't extended earlier enough by Phoenix. With the games Sund plays and with Joe not being a player that will become a RFA I'm already worried about it. If think our mix of core players coming into their prime, no more teams to pay with draft picks(meaning we can draft role players from now on), and the fact that we have passionate and high character guys(players that don't want a team totally built around them like Iverson which made the 76ers championship window very small) I think we will also have a very large championship window. Close to what Detroit had. I can see it lasting about 4 years. That's pretty damn good.

It's on the realgm homepage

There's a poll that asks who from the 2004 draft class will be the most productive over the next 5 years. It's between Iggy, Josh, Emeka, Deng, and Gordon. Josh currently leads by 1%.

Come on really. KG has averaged over 11 rebounds a game for his CAREER. Boston is a special circumstance.

He basically said stuff we already knew/suspected. Atlanta was dragging their feet. He said it was known that he wanted to get a deal done early. They turned down some deals he felt were good. From his perspective I understand. Josh Smith is the better player but he was also the higher draft pick. He may not have felt that he should just be cast off until they were finished with Josh Smith.

On PTI. He's coming up next.

WTF. Dude, you've got to move.
