Ferry not a big defensive guy I see. WTH man!

and this is another example of Horford allowing his child-like emotions to alter games. Atler games? Yes this is what happens when Horford reacts to every good play he makes as if he just hit the winning shot in a title game. Opposing teams she this crap then go extra hard in an attempt to return the embarrassment. Just shameful behavior from the anointed team leader.

Don't think the rest of the world is ready for Josh Smith.

You guys ever noticed how mechanical Al look on the floor? No fluidity to his game at all.Summary of Al's game: Stop....Pause....PopYou do not build around that! If he was already partnered with a young and talented Rondo-like PG then maybe so but trying to build around a payer who does a few things well and nothing better than well is a waste. This is not sneaky way to say the Hawks should build around Josh. Building around Josh makes less sense. This is an open admission that I don't see what most here see in Al. Forget the stats. Dude just does not pass my eye test.

Don't be suprised if Darko is the staring center instead.

I sure hope this isn't about selling a brand. before all this I found him corny and annoying. Now that he's created such a stir I bet his Q-rating is right there with Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Vick.

Has Howard ever indicated why he's so drawn to Brooklyn?

not a big fan of Brazilian athletes

JJ should not be part of a "big three" period. Good player but he does not have enough inside to be counted on when it matters most.

thanks for adding [clarity] to the title

Great post but.... I sure hope you're wrong. Compete for what? A playoff certificate perhaps....the same playoff certificate that more than 50% of the league gets.

Three small guards and 2 PFs....now that's a lineup

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!

this will be a long offseason Hawks Nation

I haven't felt this good about a Hawks player since Salim Stoudamire.

step four

step three

I think this is the second step to Ferry getting the Hawks back in the lottery. Anyone thinking this is a move to win games better think twice. Who in the hell gonna defend and create in that back court?

can't get anything past you dude

Now if we can just find someone to challenge Drew to become a better coach.

this is getting ridiculous

I don't understand why fans think it's a players obligation to help these teams make decisions. All we hear is how it's a business yet the "business" people are the ones who have no idea how real businesses are run.

I only base that off the Hawks having an All-Star C/PF combination for the past few years and not being able to get out the second round. In today's NBA titles are won in the back court. Well...at least I think so.

Yet I bet had Atlanta been the desired destination for a super team we'd all be singing a different tune. Play the hand you're dealt.

I guess if the goal is being mediocre like before. You're rolling out 2 PFs ( neither special on defense) and 2 combo gaurds. Have fun watching that lineup miss the playoffs and draft on the bad end of the lottery. Time we do what we do best in this city. Lets be damn good at losing.
