how far will you make it with a "PG" that refuses to drive the ball. Sure he knocks down threes. That's cute when there dropping but what happens when the shot no longer falls. Will he take it to the hole? Give me a PG that drives and get his teammates easy shots anyday. OK...Acie may not be that now but giving him more playing time will only make him better. I forget to mention that Bibby is a horrible defender. So yes...Bibby=fools gold. He'll get you to the playoffs but he damn sure will not do much once he gets there. Don't belive me...check his stats from last years playoff run.

note: this coming from a guy with "bibby" in his username

I think you're missing the point or just giving a response out of emotion. Four Questions? Will Bibby resign with the Hawks? Do you see the hawks trading or paying for a veteran PG? Have you seen enough from Acie to suggest that he deserves a shot? Are the hawks good enough as is to win it all? I'm not saying bench Bibby due to a lack of production. I'm mearly saying that Woody should prepare this team for the future. Yes that may mean more losses this year, but take it and enjoy all the good to come in the future.

what happens next year? It's not about today for me. Knowing that Bibby will not sign here, I see no need to give him all the playing time at the point. Acie is the future and I want the future to start now. Bibby is fools gold man. At some point Woody has to hand this thing over to Acie. You really want Flip Murray running this team?

Makes so much sense that I know it'll never happen. This would really help Acie grow into his role. Seeing how Bibby plays like a 2 (he only shoots jumpers) wouldn't it make sense to bring him in for Joe at the 2 and let him play with Joe at the point from the late 3rd to middle of the 4th?

tough crowd. ease up some dude. I promise I'll do better next time.

You know where I stand on this one. Will bump until 100 votes counted

Man we have a bunch of Zaza haters here today. It's a love/hate thing with me. I love the man when he's rebounding. I hate him when he's playing lazy. He just needs to work on his offense and he'll be great this year. If he can average 5 pts. and double digits rebounds, then he should get 6th man of the year consideration.

Why is it that the Hawks offense boggs down when one Mr. Ronald "Flip" Murray appears...Coincidence?

proud of you guys.

Big game from Z. Still can't shot worth ish but 18 rebounds is more than enough.

Say Bibby is traded at the deadline. Now what??? You're right back where you started. No PG (unless you're counting on Speedy). Call me crazy but isn't it the coaches job to find out what a player has, and can you really say Acie has had a fair shot.

why is it that Marvin stops giving a #$%^ after he scores 15 pts. Why is Randolf Morris in the NBA? Why do I let Zaza make a fool of me? Where's Hof's offense?

mike bibby is such a pu*** thesw days. all jumpers. woody better play Acie more

that aint right

but Hawks already have three 7-footers. forget size hawks just need defense period.

he should be fired for not developing Acie into a starter. Face it hawks fans, ASG will not re-up Bibby. These guys are already losing money and singing an over-the-hill PG will not make things any better. Woody gotta get his head out of his *** and do what's better for the future of the team.

Bibby?

I know fans want to dump Woody but I think Woody is closer to saying: "The hell with this no-defense-playing *** team. I'm outta hear beaches."

insane in the brain crazy

Vince loves the Hawks. I swear the man gets a woody when he plays us.

And I'm not putting both loses all on Joe and Bibby's defense. But we're in DEEEEP trouble until Woody realizes that Joe and Bibby have no answer for the Nets backcourt speed. On second thought: Just seems a little silly to think that Woody doesn’t know this. Poor man had to have known. There's only so much a coach can do. Woody can coach defense but if the Hawks don't have the players to execute it then what? We need a big man that plays big and a more athletic guard off the bench to play the Nets. That's it....nothing more.

don't be so hard

and that's the crazy thing about Joe. When he's cold he's cold for weeks not days.

both guys are playing well the year. Acie's time been reduced because of Flip
