exactly. MC actually exhibits some class and a humble perspective at all times...I'm just glad our guys or someone in the front office took it to heart enough to paste it in the locker room for everyone to see....if this doesn't ignite their asses to play harder, i don't know what will. of course, we've heard that story before, bit i really do think they get their sh#t together and pull one out in ATL. We better...or else mindless fools like this writer will keep on barking till game 7.

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orlando-magic/os-bianchi-magic-0427-20110426,0,7657264.column I've read this chump's articles before, but think he took it way too far in this one: it's one thing to display homerism and root for your team no matter the odds, but to go out of your way and make remarks such as , "The Magic are going to win this series and the Birdbrains are going to fold up and collapse like a $5 lawn chair. You know it, I know it and deep down in the lonely recesses of their fragile minds, the Birdbrains know it, too." Read the article. Be pissed. I sure am. And good to know, the Hawks are as well: it seems they have printed the article out and stuck it in the locker room. I can't wait to close the Magic out...and shut up there writers and fans. what a bunch of imbeciles...

Hey everyone, I haven't posted anything in a long time, but am a avid reader of the site. Anyways, I have lived in Chicago the past 10 years or so, but was brought up in ATL. We have a pretty solid network here of Atlanta sports fans...especially when it comes to football. We have a group of 10 to 20 people who watch EVERY Falcons game at a bar in Lincoln Park called Kelsey's (2265 North Lincoln). We have a bunch of people going to the bar tonight, all u can drink from 6-9pm, and so we warmly welcome any Hawks fans who can make their way up here! Always nice to get Atlanta fans together, especially in a fanatic sports city like Chicago....we gotta represent!!! GO HAWKS!

umm..i actually believe he's just invited to training camp, so not 'officially' a Hawk yet. everyone at camp gets a few pics i figure. and was that Jason Collins??? damn...he's become a chubby dude. hope that's not his playing physique. i dont ever remember him being that out of shape.

Custom one for sure...gives our website a unique twist, not to mention the official hawks icon is in the background so it's a neat blend of the two...

I absolutely love it Dolfan...the skin is more subtle but I love the way it's all blended together. And nifty little Hawk sitting on the Q - completely original! give it a 9/10 :) only bc i have to leave some room just in case u out do yourself again.

anyway we can find out if it's really JJ putting up those tweets, even though i still imagine it is him. if it is, someone (management, woody, his parents) needs to do something about it... mildly retarded or not, he's become borderline disgraceful.

well put Dolfan

no one is denying his track record...as a matter of fact, that's precisely the reason why i think a few of us are surprised and a bit disappointed. and no one denies that he's still a 'good guy' in a league with some bad raps. but if he really wants to show more 'marketability' as u call it, i can promise u this isn't going to help. what exactly is he trying to market?? his ability to bet large sums of money on tonguing a random chick, his ghetto linguistic skills?? please... simply put, if JJ does really talk like that or is tryin to be something else with his boys...he's needs to do so with more discretion. that's all. i guarantee his agent or rick sund has an issue with it...esp if they are planning to extend him to a 4yr/65mil deal or so. and if u've noticed, he HAS been getting noticed around the league. what is it, 3 or 4 all star appearances? and quite a few commercials on top. and he'll get more...but not if he pulls tweets like this. i'm starting to realize why the rest of the guys on our team dont really look at him as a leader, and how much more i love the acquisition of joe smith and the extension of bibby. and im not saying they dont speak or act like that off court...but at least they know not to make it public and are smart about it. and again, i love JJ... i still think he's a decent guy. but hell what do we really know of these guys?? let's not let our obsession for the team overtake the fact that even some of our players could be pretty rotten people in real life. that's the truth, however much we ignore it or deny it.

man, i hope we get a great game out of him. love the sound of Hanson, Vasquez, Jurrjens, Lowe, and Hudson as our rotation. Honestly, any one of those guys could make a case for being a top of the rotation type of person. If Hudson can pitch well and our Offense pull through tonight, i think we'll be in a decent position to make a run. we have the best pitching between the Rockies and Giants (although the Giants are a close second) and the second best offense behind Colorado. i know they have a favorable remainder of the schedule but so do we...we play NYM and WSH in 13 out of the last 19 games, with a series against PHI and FLA in between. go braves, get a win tonight! need 3 out of 4 against the FISH. and honestly, Matt Diaz is amazing. always liked him over the years but man oh man, he's something else. He has got to be my fav player on this team... esp since Chipper is sucking it up.

yeah, it's pretty sad that the "leader" of our team is sayin s**t like that on a public basis. dont even think J Smoove would be tweeting something so ridiculous. I understand that he is in a relaxed environment and that he prolly had something to drink, but u still have to be more acountable. esp when u're making around 16 mill a year and have legitimized yourself as one the top players in the nba and as the face of a young but contending team. disappointed. talk like a man JJ. or keep your account private if u cant. and this is coming from a huge fan of his...i love his game no matter what, but there are kids out there who are more impressionable who look up to him for his off the field stuff too. he needs to understand that.

true that. it's a testament to where we are as a team when we're discussing a third option for Center coming off the bench so heavily...few years ago, we wouldn't have even cared who rounded off the bench. love it. J Collins is going to be put in to draw some fouls, charges and whatnot, or just to bully around some people down low. he prob wont even see legit minutes, but the point is, if he were to in case one of our bigs gets hurt (which WILL happen sometime during the season), he should be able to carry those minutes without being a detriment to the team. it's on this season... and as a side note...i finally got my girlfriend to watch some games with me...she's finally a basketball fan. hell yeah. and what do u know, her favorite players are Zaza (bc she likes it when the PA goes crazy sayin ZA ZA Pachooooolia!) and Bibby (bc she finds him cute with his little skipping he does). haha. whatever works right guys. ill take it. she even bought me the NBA package this year out of the blue. livin in the CHI, i can cont to watch all the Hawks games i want. hell yeah :)

now if only the Braves could win 3 out of 4 against FLA. damn their inconsistency! it's an absolute tease. and hell yeah...go Dirty Birds! ...that's actually my FF name in my league...and i ended up with Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez, and Matt Ryan...so i'm hoping for big things from our team and those guys. enough to compensate for our lackluster Defense at least!

i mean obviously he's past his prime and he never was an amazing player, but he seems to have a decent mid range jump shot, in the mold of zaza...and seems pretty darn good at drawing charges, which i always love. for the league vet minimum and a 11th//12th guy off the bench, we could do worse. and of course the video is just highlights, so everyone looks good when they make jumpers and stuff but for whatever reason, i'm ok with this deal. as the saying goes...u can never have enough big bodies, esp with the big men in our conference this year. need to press play again to watch it...

nice pic JJBacker...like your style.
