John Hollinger and the media in general are "what have you done lately" whores. Is Woody the best coach in the NBA? No. So is LD one of the best coaches in the NBA? No, but he's probably the best coach for this group of talent. I'm no LD fan, but I have enough sense to stick with what's working.

If your hometown team has to change colors, give away free stuff, provide post-game entertainment, or bring out dancing monkeys during halftime then you my friend live in a city that does not deserve a sports team. WE SUCK!

This city doesn't deserve a NBA Team!

We have ourselves a sneaky good sports night with this game and Pats-Texans on MNF.

Win and this will be the game that puts this team on the radar of the city. I can't remember a season with worse fan-support. Heck even hs.net feels abandoned. Let's hope the fading FBS season and a win tonight puts the spotlight on the Hawks. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Funny how it's known that one of the best teams in pro sports covet this guy yet we say he has no trade value. We don't want him. We are irritated with him. Does that have anything to do with his trade value? No! The Lakers see a difference maker, and that's why they win titles and the Hawks wonder aimlessly. At the end of the day I can't say if the Hawks are better or worse? This collection of mismatched parts appears mediocre with Josh or Pau.

baby got a boo boo.

I like "Mr. Buckets", "Josh Buckets", or "Smoove Buckets"any nickname worth a damn has to include the word buckets

Is he a good coach? Same people said Woody was garbage, and he is now coaching the undefeated NY Knicks.

He (like Woody here) was in a no-win situation with Magic and Kobe bitching through the media every 5 minutes. Giving a guy 5 games to install an offensive system is ridiculous.

He's okay if he keeps his weight under control....and that my friends is the #1 issue with Curry.He must be extremely undisciplined. Not only is the guy an athlete but has a heart condition, yet he allowed himself to get that overweight.

Indiana and Philly are good on paper. Take Philly. Their most talented player has a history of being one of the laziest players. They will either take on Doug Colin's "chop wood" attitude or take on Bynum's "oh well" attitude. I say all that to say the only thing guaranteed in the East is the Miami Lebrons. Every other team has some major question marks.

idk...they may have made that trade out panic over Lin's less than stellar preseason.

HS was all in on that dude. Ball don't lie

W Why so mean-spirited? I think you'd come across better by saying, "Because he doesn't not suck."

Lets just hope his plan doesn't end with him replacing LD with Bob Weiss.

lottery

too bad neither guy has the talent to match the swagger

If Josh gets this team to the second round he should be dipped in gold and shipped to the HOF. i think it would be cool if they dipped him in his 3-PT shot stance imagine this dipped in 24K gold

I like Johnny Buckets or Johnny Stay-Hotsanything besides J.J. or Johnny Shuttlesworthalso....Hard to believe the man who created masterpieces like DTRT, Get on The Bus, He Got Game, 25th Hour, Inside Man, Crooklyn, Clockers, and X is pretty much an ass clown for the Knicks. I put those movies against anything in American Cinema and I bet it floats.

Sometimes we forget how good A.I. was. He single-handily took this team to the finals. 2001 76ers Allen Iverson Dikembe Mutombo Eric Snow Aaron McKie Tyrone Hill Matt Geiger Raja Bell Todd MacCulloch Jumaine Jones Kevin Ollie Rodney Buford George Lynch C'mon man...look at that team!
