Hot u are reaching here.....take a look at the game and see where Reef catches the ball they have him high almost all the time...Reef is a low post player who can step turn an face the basket..

I really don't get u? Are u really a Hawks fan or a troll...my guess is that u are a fair weather fan at best.

Do u realize that Reef had 7 boards and 5 assists last night with only 1 TO.

What has KG Webber Brand O'neal won....NOTHING ..KG and Webber never do anything when its crunch time and O'neal should not even be mentioned. Webber is so overrated it is not even funny.

This team has had 5 games together, they don't even have an identity yet as soon as they figure out that u have to go inside out ...with Reef and the Primary option, they wil be fine.

Why do u think Reef leaves guys open, cause he is eatin a [censored] sandwich over in the corner...no it is called help defense. somebody penetrates you cut off the lane somebody has to be open.

Reef has to get touches to score points....Big Dog should be taking 15 -16 shots and reef should be taking 20. That will happen...this team is in its early stages...just be patient.

And during the first 20 games I think 2 of the big three should be on the floor at all times.

Hot your posts are entertaining...but is obvious you know little about the game if you think Reef should be traded, the fact is Lon lost that game last night, Reef didn't get any touches in the 4th or at least not enough....he should have been on the block drawing double teams....instead with a eleven point lead and momentum Lon puts in 4 bench players..we go to Ham at the top of the key three times he drives and turns it over three straight times...Penny scores 8 points and they are back in the game.....we should have had at least 3 starters at the beginning of the 4th...with Reef on the block putting the daggers down. Instead we are trying to let Ham create ....not smart. That was the game, we didn't play well, but had an eleven point lead, when Lon put the Bench Mob in the game...this is not Carolina of the 80's ...we can't have a blue squad.

Ham had a bad game....but I think it is Lon who asks too much of him....he should be in there to play defense rebound and slash to the basket thats it.

Oh yeah when this team comes together and is winning nightly U shouldn't be allowed to watch!

Two of the fouls that Theo had were not fouls.....SAR can play defense not great at it...but lets remember Juwan can play a little in the post....u act as if it was Ryan Bowen or NeNe scoring on SAR...and does SAR look a little bigger or is it just me. Dickau looks horrible...glad Hawks didn't trade JT like half the world thought they should......

HEY...doesn't it feel good to be the team that lesser teams have to scrap and fight to stay in the game with...rather than being one of the lesser teams scrapping.

When is the last time we were able to blow out a team twice in one game???

I would put Ira on Marion and let Dog guard Johnson...no need tiring Dog out on the defensive end.

That [censored] crossover JT put on John when he got the and 1, was just nasty.

They updated the injury board on Hawks.com this morning and didn't put his name up there, so I guess he is ok. Just dehydration causing cramps is all.

Nets had almost as many as we did!

Hot, I think Lon did have an offensive game plan and it was back home in ATL with a sore back...I think this offense will run through SAR....u have to double team him...if u don't then he will drop 22 2's on you like JT said. I think not having reef and Dion kinda through everybody's roles out of wack last night.

Theo looked [censored] good....he needs to hydrate himself better. We need him in the 4th...but when u haven't played much basketball that happens.

E mail was trying to fill Dion's role last night, not gonna happen. E mail is a back up point guard period, who can can hit the open shot on occasion.

Newble shot does look good...if he can continue that...we will be tough in the half court with SAR on the post....and JT & Dog when things break down.

That two hand dunk by Theo was nasty.

C'mon Hot you don't really believe Reef is Soft u r just upset...probably a decision made by Lon and staff. Reef probably wants to play. Anyway, nobody is a lock to make the playoffs in the East every team is a hurt player or two away from the lottery. Marcus Camby is soft...Reef is not in that class...the pounding Reef took last year in the post, mostly non calls would have made someone soft chill out on the IR. Reef was out there battling when we had no chance of playoffs.

How is Reef soft? He has only missed like 5 or 6 games his entire career and has been abused by double teams on teams where he was the only post option!

U my friend are a [censored] idiot.

Is it official that SAR is not playing. We have to remember, especially HOTATLANTA, that no matter the outcome of this opener, it doesn't decide our season.

Calm down man, Reef will be just fine... a little rest for a back can go a long ways. I wouldn't let him practice until Tuesday. Then limit his minutes the first two weeks to around 20-25. He will be fine, he is a young man (25). T Mac has back problems too and he performs fine.

If DD can get it together then fine....but if JT gets 2 quick fouls in the first quarter...I would like to have some one to put in that can get the ball past half court.

The point is we don't need to cut E mail to bring in another big man. That would leave us with only DD off of the bench to handle the ball. That is not good.

Email is CUT material now according to you...wait til DD has one of those 7 turnover games and can't stay on the floor u will be loving Email. Let's just see how ready DD is before we cut Davis.

Yeah Man, at least that is what my cable guide says, I got my league pass two weeks ago...and they just started showing games this week... i watched a little of the NJ game last night and they look good. Can't wait to see the HAWKS!!!

I think we are just as talented as anyone in the east. Saw Detroit beat Dallas last night...Detroit may have lost some scoring with Stack leaving but they are as tough and scrappy as ever. Can't wait for season!!!

Just hope the injuries stay away this year.

The heat game tomorrow will be shown on league pass, since it is being broadcasted on Sunshine.
