Agreed, we have got one hell of a mess on our hands after EIGHT FREAKING YEARS OF REBUILDING...Will we ever see good basketball again?

Where are the stats for the game?

Quote: http://www.ajc.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/ajc/hawks Didn't look hard for anything on it but before the Hawks went into the tank midway through the 1st quarter I was impressed with Bibby's passing. He was finding guys all the way across the court for open looks.... looks they were missing but they were still wide open looks. Just based on his 1st quarter action, he is the best passing pg we have had in a while.

Busboy, every time I see Horf step out on quicker guys on a switch, he seems to do just fine. Would you disagree?

Quote: Quote: Well, Andris Biedrins(The guy many think would come our way) has better numbers than Al right now. I havent seen many Warriors games though, so I cant tell how good or bad he really is. Horford could definitely become a better PF than Josh Smith though, why do you feel he can not?? Also, im not advocating the trade of Smoove, maybe Marv, maybe some other players. I dont know. Plus, if Smoove can post up guys bigger than him at PF, watch how easy it is for him to post up these SFs. Is there really enough room in the post for Josh Smith, Al Horford, and another Center?? I don't think so. And IMO, Josh Smith will be a better PF than Horford for a number of reasons...He is a better athlete, he's a better defender, he's a better scorer. Really the only thing Al has on him is rebounding. Well, that is true. there isnt enough room in the post for all 3. From what I understand, Biedrins isnt much of a post up player though.(I really have no clue what type of offensive player he is) Josh Smith is not a better defender than Horford. He may block more shots and get more steals, but when it truly comes down to it, Horford is a much better man on man defender. Smoove has the potential to be lockdown, but he still plays dumb a lot of times on defense. No arguments that Smoove is a better athlete, but that doesnt really matter at PF. Of course Smoove is better on offense when he gets a ton more shots. I'd like to see what happens when Horf gets that many shots though

Well, I think that is a simple answer. Al at the 4 has a great chance to be one of the better PFs in the league. At the 5, he will never be able to impose his will EVERY GAME, b/c some guys are just MUCH bigger. If we were to move Al to the 4, then we are no longer an uptempo team though, IMO. There are upsides and downsides to both. I think the smartest thing is to get Al to where he can become great though.

Good stuff, BT. Anyone get the full recap? Anything about Smoove, and if he can still be signed next yr?

So, in sum, Mike Woodson got owned AGAIN! Ah, there will be a day where dont have to put up with crappy coaching...I know it.

Haha, the man is the dumbest basketball coach EVER! He is our worst coach EVER! Why does he still have a job?

Quote: Quote: The refs are rediculous. Marvin gets crushed 2 times in a row, no foul Smoove touches their player, offensive foul.. I keep thinking I cant wait until we get foul calls, but truthfully it will probably never happen. Pisses me off. Who cares??? We would still lose by 30 + LMAO, so the refs shouldnt make the correct calls? RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT

How surprising, Acie is playing well again when he gets a chance...Just like the last game he got a chance. Woody = a joke.

Because our coach is a freakin idiot. I cant imagine a worse coach...You could seriously probably put someone that has never watched a basketball game in there life as our coach, and they would do better. Sad.

Geez, I have to say this all the time, but I beg for the day we get a new HC... How are we getting owned by Ira Newble, Hughes, etc?
