When is Kirk expected to be back?

I'm all for a bench full of vet specialist, but we need a back up PG and a big that can play.

I think that's called "wishful thinking."

Lost power all night, tornados,had to listen on the radio. Anybody know of a site that replays games. I have been googling, but can't find anything.

Holy Cow...was checking out Saturday morning Sportscenter and they showed an awesome JC2 highlight assist on the fast break. So I thought...why not check out the boxscore (figuring he would probably have pedestrian stats otherwise).WOW - 21-11-10 and 2 blocks in a win!! Congrats to Jordan Crawford! Granted it was against CLE but still, that is impressive.Only thing I can figure is that Jordan has fallen into the perfect situation for him. He's on a team that isn't under pressure to win every game they can - and they've decided to just turn the kid loose and see what he can do for the rest of the season. Personally I'm happy for him...no way he would be getting that kind of opportunity with us....he had 42+ minutes.:stirthepot:

I have been preachin this forever, the last coach we had was Lenny Wilkens 10 + years ago. We have not had a proven coach on 10+ years!!!! How are these f***in idiots millionaires.

Players come and go, but the one thing that has been constant is that we have not had a proven coach since Lenny Wilkens.

And thats part of the reason that the prime talent on this team will waste away. We need a pro proven coach.

If I had to play the hand I'm dealt, my rotation would look like this:

Jamal/Bibby

JJ

Josh/Damien

Al/Marvin

Twin/ZZ

Damien could swing between 2/3 and Marvin 3/4

Under no circumstances would Josh Powell and ZZ be on the floor together.

Teague would get foul trouble minutes.

Bout time he became a Hawk. I think he will play well and will be tough to cut when jj is back.

Jordan devloping is key to this team's long-term success. If he can start producing this year, it really frees the club up to make a significant with Jamal sooner than later. Jordan looks like he's going to be a very nice bench scorer. I don't think he's a starter unless he can develop PG skills though.

JC2 is as good a PG as Jeff Teague is right now.

I must admit I am not a big fan ZZ but he is playing his add off and seems to be much more confident around the basket.

Wouldn't mind this at all.

Would rather him get minutes than ZZ.

DAMMMMMMMMMIT How about Barnes?

I have been screaming for Matt Barnes for days now....he may to be to expensive for us, but like everybody else would prolly go to Miami for a used condom and a pack of peanut M&Ms.

Why does everyone want scorers for our PG?

Mo worked in Cleveland because he played off of Lebron who brought the ball up.

Mo doesn't run an offense, he plays off it.

We need a pg that can run and offense and get other players involved.

No we don't, we need a PG that can get in the lane and shoot the three. Do you realize if Teague starts...we will have only one starter than can knock down a three with any regularity! Mo can penetrate and shoot the ball.

You can run sets to get people invloved.

Sounds good, but the rumor is they are after Childress. It would have to be Chill for Shaq straight up, or Chill/Bibby for Mo/Shaq.

Yep, Chillz/Bibby for Mo/Shaq seems more likely. I would love to get Varajeo.

Send them Childress, Marv and Mike Bibby for Mo and Jamison.

I'd rather send Chillz Marvin and Bibby for Mo and AV. We need a guy like AV desperately; sign Shaq and Matt Barnes.....and play ball.

Mo/Teague

JJ/Jamal/JC2

Barnes/Evans

Smoove/AV

Al/Shaq/ZZ

Thats a pretty good damn basketball team.

this this this this :friends1:

I would love to have AV and Shaq....we have to get a three point shooting SF...if Teague starts JJ would be the only 3 pt threat to start....not good.

Augustine might be a sleeper big for fall camp. First game in Vegas is Monday night. Sergiy Gladyr can shoot it. Never can have enough!

6-10 James Augustine is in camp (former ORL). played in OSL Friday morning and got here to practice last night. I like that.

Pape Sy is a ways away..but plays hard! My goodness. They went 2.5 hours and he had plenty left in the tank. appears to be a combo 1/2.

Jordan Crawford is an impressive shooter...easy stroke from NBA 3pt range..Jeff Teague has hit the weights, and is playing with confidence.

Just back from Hawks summer league practice...very efficient and well-run by Coach Drew and staff. (Welcome Lester Connor!)

We desperately need another three point shooter and if Jordan can be that it would help alot. And can Gladyr become a Korver type.

That is the problem. What is the plan? To stay content with one-and-done's?

There are really no trades that we could realistically pull off that would make us better that that team. The Heat are better than us over night; that is something we have to accept.

We are now the third best team in our division.

LOL, not only will we not be competitive with Miami; we won't compete with Orl either.

I don't really see what we could do with our limited space that would get us close to those two. Especially with Drew as the coach.

Joe prolly knew that this would happen; thats why he agreed so early. If our owners knew that Lebron and Bosh were going to Miami do they pay Joe the Max, I mean for what, we are the 3d best team in our own div....would you?

You would not say that if they were Hawks. They will beat up on the league like a rented mule.

I still remain hopeful that the Hawks can somehow win a championship. That dream is crushed if LeBron goes to Miami

Heck that dream is crushed for the rest of the entire NBA as we would see the most dominant run on NBA championships since Russell's Celtics

Your dream was crushed when we hired Drew.

All hopes and dreams of a championship, should have stopped when we hired Drew.

We have not had a proven coach since Lenny Frickin Wilkins!

Only a FOOL would trade Al right now; this dude couldn't make a post move without traveling his rookie year.

Look how much his game has improved since then. If his game grows just as much as he has the past two years he will be unguardable in two more years.

Losing Al would be a big mistake, especially since there are really no centers out there.

Our ownership is too cheap to use the MLE. Its not a mystery as to why they never use it.

Exactly, this is why we won't compete for the east, we simply don't have a deep enough team.

No way we can compete with the backup 3-4-5 we have.

This team is the all time leader in mediocrity.
