I got it...put this into Windows Media Player:http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia-live/nba/9...phis_051201.asx

i just changed "dallas" to "memphis"...and got the "this game isn't being televised" thing, that I think you got, too.hopefully someone has a workable link?

i think it might be on the same stream that we got earlier....

Quote: He get a first and one of the best Centers in the league, for a backup Center, and a player who cares more about stats, himself, and highlights. That's a great deal. Do you watch the games? Josh Smith carried this team on his back while Joe Johnson was injured. I would LOVE for someone like you to go up to a guy like Josh Smith and tell him the REASON HE PLAYS THIS GAME. It's hilarious..He's "playing for stats and highlights". I promise you he doesn't sit at home after a game and look to see if he was on the highlight reel. You obviously aren't/weren't an athlete.

Quote: Gooden, Big Z, and Boobie are not patheic, Josh Smith is. Once again your going by highlights and ESPN logic. No wonder why your still a fan, you wishful think everything that's you don't see. You rarely watch the other teams in the league outside of the Hawks right. You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. I would call you a dolt, but you probably don't know what that means. I seriously hope English isn't your first language. My eyes were bleeding trying to read what you wrote as "sentences". You think Josh Smith is pathetic? He averaged in the 20's in points, 10+ in rebounds, and 2+ in blocks when Joe Johnson got hurt... There were nights when his statline would real 25/13/7/3. That's petty good (points, rebounds, assits,blocks) I don't know how you can see that Josh Smith is pathetic compared to any of those duds on Cleveland (minus LeBron). Let's check out the stats Josh Smith had in the victories against 1.Cleveland, 2. Boston, 3. Washington, 4. Indionapolis. What did Josh do? Cleveland: (1 Victory) 15 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists in 33 minutes Boston: (3 Victories) Game 1:18 points, 5 Steals, 3 assists, 4 rebounds, 7 BLOCKS in 36 minutes. Game 2:21 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 3 BLOCKS in 35 minutes. Game 3:DNP (hurt)...Would have blocked probably 15 shots, hah. Washington: (1 Victory) 13 points, 3 blocks, 3 rebounds, 1 steal in only 27 minutes (Zaza was fed the ball that entire game) Indiana: (1 Victory) 25 points, 4 BLOCKS, 2 steals, 5 assits, 13 rebounds I just don't see how you'd rather insert "Boobie" in Josh Smith's place. They don't even compare.. No way in HELL does this franchise ship out their best talent for Marcus Camby. Josh Smith is traded for a big name player only (Kobe, Amare, etc)... Not for an old veteran like Camby. Have you lost your mind? Don't answer that.

Quote: If you watch BK's draft plan to go long atheletic Guard /forwards (Marvin, CHills) a sharp shooter in Joe Johnson, Law who is compared to Chauncey, and 3PF forwards: (Hofford, SHeldin, Smith) who are not as skilled yet as (Ben Wallace, Rasheed, McDyess) but you see where they are similar. The Hawks are a younger unexperience version of the Pistons IMO. Lets just hope they can have similar success. First Things First..Making the Playoffs will be a daunting task, but if everyone stays healthy we have a good shot. Woody has a young team capable of competing day in and day out. Although, I'm not the biggest fan of taking Hofford - I do believe he will be a good PF in the mold of Boozer. I think Sheldin will be like Antonio Davis and I really believe Josh Smith will be A superstar. Woody better work hard on his substitution patterns to keep the team competing every game. BK needs to trade await players like Anthony Johnson, Lorenzen Wright for future 2nd rounders or something. I expect Lue to be move by the Trading deadline if SPeedy remains healthy...and Law proves to lay down the LAW. GO Hawks. I'm a die hard fan so i will be in attendance. Who the hell is "Hofford"?

Quote: The positions don't really matter. It's not PlayStation. Amen to that.

Quote: Yes but Conley would have been the best fit he was the best point guard in the draft hands down thats why he went 4th. We could have drafted Thorton and traded Marvin or Shelden for a Center. Which big named center are you talking about? Enlighten us.

Quote: Hortford? Who's that? Even more reason for me not to like this city, the fans can't even spell. I took the time to learn English, you should too. Leave the city, then. We don't need you.

Quote: Nope this is it..your 2008 cellar dwelling, no pick in next year draft Atlanta Hawks. I think the only way this kid is happy at the end of this draft is if the Hawks land Amare, Tim Duncan, and Tony Parker. Negative people like you seriously make me sick. You KILL the experience of being on this board for everybody. See you guys in about three weeks or so. I can't take this negativity from these idiots. You have to look at the big picture. The Hawks are under constriction of this ownership problem. They did the best they could with what they had.. I'm pretty damn proud of this draft. No, they won't win the east. Yes, I'm excited about next season, though. Try being optimistic about life people!

Quote: u have to be a real computer geek to give a rat's azz about effin caplocks. Who says "azz" these days? Is it something I'm missing because I'm a "computer nerd"?

Quote: In order to be a bust you must have potential to be a star. Horford has no star potential. That dude couldn't get a commercial for Gallery Furniture. We drafted the NFL equivalent of a pulling guard, when you already have a pro bowler at pulling guard. I can see it now, hundreds of fans going to Hawks.com to buy season tix. "I just gotta see Hoford, Hotford, Hortford..whatever that dude's name is. Shelden wasn't a "bust" for your reason stated above, that he didn't have "star potential". Thanks for clearing that up. I think I might come back in about three weeks so all of the negative people will cool off.

Quote: Well, you wont be happy if you have up to 6 or 7 forwards on one team and draft somebody that plays the same position like the person that you draft last year and it doesnt seems that we wont be trading tonight and if you dont get a good record, then that high draft that we get goes to Suns, no matter what. Yep, we are not happy about this. I hope and PRAY that English isn't your first language. The Hawks WILL be trading somebody away in the near future. I don't think they want to have a bunch of people sitting on the sidelines in street clothes. This team will be ok. And for the love, enough of the "we should have" talk! What is done is done.. Enough speculation of what "could have" or "should have".

Vdunk, don't say that! Who is going to tear up the AJC blogs with me!?!?

1. Anytime the Jackass Stephen A. Smith opens his mouth. 2. Finish your drink when Bilas talks of a player being a "true talent". 3. Give two gulps to a friend nearby if Bilas questions a pick, or calls a pick a "bust" (ie. Josh Smith) 4. Everytime an "international talent" is drafted. OK, I'm terrible at this. I have no more ideas.

Well, a little ray of hope. The trade is still alive......let's hope this gets done!!

Quote: Dude... If what you're saying doesn't measure up to the sniff test, it doesn't matter who you know or where you got it. IF this were Biblical times, and you were claiming to be a prophet.. and nothing you ever said happened... What kind of Prophet would you be? So let's examine closely... 1. You've come out with a lot of vague suggestions. For example: At one time you said that Gasol and Calderon were "very likely". However, all the sudden Calderon has never been on the table and other deals have trumphed Gasol talk. 2. You listed Ellis as Not likely... BUT all the sudden, the news came out that we had signed off on an Ellis trade that was nixed at the last minute. Your teflon source told you NOTHING about Ellis for #11. 3. You say to TP some time ago that "MY SOURCE IS TEFLON"... however, everytime you mention a rumor, you say: "Well I can't go into specifics." It's funny to me. I mean, pure comedy in my eyes. I'm just here to shine a light on the contradictions that are big and obvious... If you want a list, I can go on and on, but there's no need... It's draft day. Even though you've given a magicians Choice... " My Sources say we will either draft somebody or trade the picks.."...I think that when it's all said and done, we will look back on all of your predictions (Especially the Gasol and Calderon LIKELY) and have to question it. Not question You... But Question Your source. Who knows, you could be getting fed bad info...therefore nobody is calling you a liar... But just like the prophet... your insider info is subject to questions.. just like Ford, Bucher or any other "insider" would be... Enough of the mockery of Jesus talk here man. It needs to stop, please.

....looks like the skeptical "vultures" have come out to poop on everyone's party and prey on some dead trade rumors.

Quote: Belkin is like my worst nightmare. We have a chance to get Joe Johnson, who I loved at the time and love even more now, and yet he trys to stop it. Now we have a once in a lifetime chance to get an all-NBA center, 24 years-old, one of the most exciting players in the league, and he wants to veto the trade? I pray this isn't true. If this is true, and Belkin wins the team, I will not watch the Hawks until he's gone. I'm with you. (No, I'm not stalking you from the AJC blogs, haha) I will not stand for this injustice!! I am bringing a "Fans against Belkin" sign to the Philips Party.

I highly doubt it. All of our hopes for Amare are pretty much crushed. It's back to hoping for the best tomorrow at the draft.

Anyone who has a Barry Bonds quote as his signature is a dolt automatically. You aren't funny. This is so sophomoric. Can someone close this?

Hilarious!!!

The friggin' Suns fans are all in denial. They call the Hawks fans "idiots" for even thinking of such a trade.. I love how they think they are at a different class than us because their team has won more games... I'd be pretty bitter too if my team got to the playoffs and KEPT LOSING.

Has anybody else been losing sleep because they keep hitting "refresh"?? I seriously had to hold down the power button on my computer last night to make sure I went to sleep. The insanity!!!!
