This draft class will be stacked I think. Who are you guys watching out for that may be good fits for the Hawks that would be in our draft range?

Some people who follow you are thinking that you'd at least return the favor and follow them as well. Or they do it just because maybe there are bots that look through every one's group of followers and follows them too? It's gotta be something like that...

Can you picture us making any trades at all before the deadline this year? Any at all?

I didn't watch the game til the middle of the second quarter... what happened? Marvin got benched?

I agree Jeff Teague is looking like a real player in this league (it's still a bit early). Thing is - Bibby fits so well with our starting lineup. Bibby comes and goes sometimes on the spot up threes - but he is generally pretty good. He's not at all afraid to shoot them and will hit them in volume when he's hot. On a really good night Bibby can hit 6 for 8 on you if you aren't careful. That's 18 points. Plus Bibby is savvy (if not fast) on the break. He knows when to toss Smoove an alley-oop for a thunder dunk. Smoove returns the favor by scaring the little guys away from the lane. It's kind of a symbiotic relationship.

Yeah... I notice that as well. Good points. I think Teague is a very good matchup with Crawford as well. He and Crawf, along with Evans, helps make our second unit one of the fastest in the league and will wear down a lot of starting lineups / benches if they decide to run on us.

Topic.

I thought you meant next year, not next nba season. Its still 2009

Ah... nope I was referring to next season. Sorry for the confusion.

Tonight, I liked how Woodson ran some plays for Teague even with Crawford, Bibby on the floor. Granted, it was just iso-Teague's... but still...

There's no point for him to start if we are winning with him coming off the bench. People need to understand that the only way Bibby gets points is by being a spot up shooter, so he has to be in with the starting unit at all times because that is when he can get open looks. Teague and Crawford coming off the bench could be a great duo so there is no point in starting Teague right now.

I don't know if you read it wrong or not, but I referred to 'next year' with that comment.

I'm very impressed with Jeff Teague. And I'm also impressed with Woodson's minutes distribution between Teague and Bibby. I think Teague has all the tools to be a great PG in this league. Next year, I would be disappointed if we did not see a noticeable increase of minutes and a slightly higher role. I think mid-season next year, he will be ready to start... what do you guys think?

I wish we could get Marc Gasol but he's part of their future as much as Gay, Mayo, and/or Thabeet is. And it's not like they need another 2/3 combo in JJ or Marvin. If the Grizzlies get a true PF, that team can be nasty.... Or if they get John Wall.

When J-Smoov sucks, this team sucks. If JJ sucks, Crawf can pick him up. Smoov is needed down low to make a difference on D, to be that mismatch on offense, and to grab rebounds. If he sucks, this team sucks.

Most valuable player - Smith

The same old Hawks. Tonight is just why I don't believe in this team.

always with ya on this one

i lol'd

byron scott!

he would definitely develop teague into a better point guard than bibby will ever be for us. maybe within a year and a half or so!

Wasn't that why we brought him in Atlanta in the first place? To deal with the sudden influx of bigs in the East? I heard so much about him being needed when we'd face the likes of Howard, Shaq, Perkins, etc. I did not see him once tonight. Are we really paying someone over $1 million for no reason? I like your other moves, Sund, but this one just sucked. I'd rather have kept Mario West than to sign some bench fodder like Collins. At least West could play D.

I blame Mo evans.

blame the dysfunctional offense of woodson ... if there even is such a thing as 'offense' under woodson.

lol at whoever said woodson should be coach of the month. that person should jus leave town along with woodson

yea those uniforms are lame. white ones are best. i've always hated it even when it was proposed (before it was actually revealed) by one of our members here

im so excited, i live in australia and this is like the 1st time they are showing the hawks live on our tv. AND i got the day off work for it :D

GO HAWKS!!!

SMH...

It's the same old Hawks!!! Oh but that was our only loss at home this year! I thought the home crowd is supposed to give players energy? I see NO ONE playing with energy on this team. After the second half, Woodson must have fed the team some turkey because this is definitely not a playoff contending team. We are NOT perimeter shooters. There's a reason why we are league leaders in points scored in the paint. When we just toss that away we are just a mediocre team. Sure Dwight Howard is a game changer, but is that what this team really boilds down to? A bunch of players who will just keep clearing every one out and playing one vs. one basketball? Pathetic. Woodson sucks as a coach. He is a fluke. This kind of performance is inexcusable. happy thanksgiving, hawks fans.

i like how we're getting owned by no bodies... jj redick, anthony johnson, LMAO

cause the hawks are still the hawks

know we know

hawks commentator is annoying... "looks like we have a loss here unless a MARVELOUS comeback happens" or some thing like that... nothing is going to happen lmao, this team sucks on the road

teague looks terrible on D so far
