I just want to reiterate that Bembry doesn't belong on an NBA team

He would be a beast in the NBDL though.

Completely different. You get more analysis over here. On r/sub, you get a lot of oneliners and after the games, memes. To each it's own. 

First, I love that you call it r/sub, and second, I love that this place is more about basketball than shitposts. I appreciate both, but when things get serious I'll be coming back here. Not gonna lie I have made a few memes on r/sub but it's just an excuse to fire up old photoshop (old hobby).

Welcome back

Thank you! How live are the game threads here and do you all also go to r/atlantahawks or is this a separate thing?

I was at a party at the Fox theatre hosted by Jezebel magazine...Isaiah Rider was there. He was real cool and talked to me and my father for like 20 minutes. Since then I've refused to bash him.

I hate to align myself with the "tanker" crowd...but just look at it. Teams stuck in mediocrity don't get anything achieved. Its frustrating. Especially in todays league. Its been established that we can't get a difference maker via FA so we can only get it via draft, and difference makers aren't available at 18 in the draft. Frustrating.

I agree with you man. It does seem like an ideal situation. Falcons seem to get what they want...the Braves don't have a problem getting awesome pieces to keep them in the hunt....but this is the Hawks...its different with them. I just don't see it happening.

Golden backpack with diamond sprinkles??? I guess a contract like his will pay for that.

Give him another shot. WHO else are we gonna hire for the low low.....that would actually accept the job. Nate,,,, No, I don't think so. I actually think he deserves another shot. Joshes shortcomings and Teagues tentative ways are results of their own inadequateness and not the coach. When Josh leaves after next season he will migrate his problems to his new team....they may not seem so apparent because he will probably be on a team with a beast number 1 unlike now but he'll be the same guy. Teague, IMO, will be a career back up. Lets stop believing that a change at HC will somehow translate to two players totally revamping their game.

the only thing i keep hearing on the radio here in the atl is that rondo is gonna have his way with teague all series, no one is giving this kid a chance against rondo. kinda getting on my nerves. [shift button broke]

If Josh was traded for someone like Monta Ellis the pathetic attendance would just become more pathetic. I mean, do you really expect people to come to watch Ellis, Joe and Horf?

You know that saying "If you don't want to be here, GET OUT!!", thats kind of how I feel about this team. This goes for Josh and Joe. Joe is getting a max contract, so I get why he is here, but I know for a fact that he would rather be somewhere else while getting that same money. Josh, I think, wants to see what its like being on one of those ESPN teams. I think he wants more spotlight and he thinks he can get it by not just being a beast, which he is, but by being on one of those teams.

Basically I don't think you can make a man play his heart out if he has no passion for the team he's a part of, so get him out. Build around Horf.

Where's the Joe Hater Club now? They popped their weasel heads up after the SA game, guess they go back to the troll kingdom for now. Amazing game from Joe, Josh almost had a triple double, "the worst player in the NBA" Zaza almost double doubled and even Marvin showed up with 22. Great comeback from a truly horrible first half.

We're all part of the Joe Hater Club...he has to do this thing consistently for us to resign from said club. You may say that you've been a Joe fan all along, but I wouldn't believe you. I have this feeling that when he was consistently failing at being THE GUY, you were trashing him as well. BUT, maybe I'm wrong, maybe your were the one saying "Its OK people, he's the ONE, we just have to believe in him and eventually he will be the player that his contract says he should be". Not sure since I don't know you.

I'm not sold yet, but I like what I see so far against bad competition.

Lurker here.....Just saying that I'm feeling this Hawk vibe. I like this bench, and I see a couple of starters having career years (Josh,Marvin) so I'm pretty optimistic. We need the 3 seed though.

Is he like the new Mo Evans in terms of the guy that sucks but sometimes and very rarely does good things?

Yeah..read that earlier. Pretty funny, but in all honesty its time to play. We haven't done anything. Only teams who are content with mediocrity pull these stunts. Imagine the Lakers doing this....lol.

Maybe it is time to make a point

If the magic take this series back to Orlando for a game 7 i dint think even the biggest Hawk optimist would be believe we could win that game lol....

Its one game....we've owned them all season, we could do it. Its not that hard for me to believe....thats of course assuming we lose game 6 which we won't. *takes shot*

No no no no....Game 7 would be our must win, not 6. We already beat them once in Orlando, we could do it again. Thats fact. Everyone should stop whining when things go bad. Oh yeah, we'll make a run and things WILL get interesting. Stay tuned!!

For some reason I just don't have high hopes for Freeman. I expect him to be average, sorta like Casey Kotchman.

Marvin is just mad because he knows he's a bust. He's taking it out on the better "Williams" LOL.

If Joe can continue to produce....for longer than a one week span, than maybe I'll give him some love. Until then, I'll look at him as the dude that the Hawks overpaid for.

There are some interviews of Smoove and JJ on 790thezone.com = not sure if anyone has mentioned that.

pics or it didn't happen
