Wishing a pleasant, restful, and joyous holiday season for all of you and your families. ~lw3

Any opportunity I get to say Goolnaz "call me Asal" Karbalaeinematmoeeney, I pounce on it. ~lw3

So Sloan made the cut? ~lw3

http://www.draftexpr...n-Johnson-5437/ Givony's D-League review of IJ from earlier this year. ~lw3 http://special.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/sports/25823959-41/points-games-league-johnson-season.csp More on his "anger management" issues which I imagine has mellowed with time and cold reality. Banned from Korea! LOL ~lw3

I get happier each time with Mr. Smith. He's at the stage where if he mixes it up inside enough he gets a few free wasted possessions shooting outside jumpers, so I guess that's progress. Two words: Sign Ivan. Whoa: Meme's a Net, didn't see that coming, although I probably should. ~lw3

OMG! The Atlanta Dangerfields! ~lw3

not locally, although folks in the Carolinas can get it on Fox Sports Carolinas. ~lw3

For anybody heading to Philips, be careful to be near shelter with the tornado watch warning going on. (EDIT: sorry, hope my poor wording choice didn't alarm anyone) ~lw3

Stack will be fine, NBATV studio is right up the street. I do wonder does this impact Sy's chances at all (making the roster vs. D-League). Green is kind of smallish for a SG, so pairing him up with Sy (or T-Mac, or Kirk when he returns) might do the trick. ~lw3

A sympathetic season review of Green from a Sternets fan, including one 12-for-12 performance: http://swarmandsting.com/2011/07/12/hornets-season-review-willie-green/ ~lw3 Willie wasn't a Cav, but were you thinking of David Wesley or Shannon Brown? ~lw3

Michael Cunningham (AJC) on Twitter, also Alex Kennedy (Hoopsworld). I'm sure the links will be up in a sec. Here's Jay Walker: http://www.peachtreehoops.com/2011/12/22/2655410/hawks-sign-willie-green Bret Lagree's initial reaction ("Dear God") was simultanous with mine. Like with Radmanovic though, I'll probably get over it. ~lw3

Nah, not too worried with Teague. I do suspect Green is going to take the bench spot that was penciled in for Stack. Willie's alright in brief spots for defensive purposes, but puh-leeze do not let him touch that ball under any other circumstances (passing or shooting). ~lw3

thoughts? ~lw3

Hope AJC's right... My listings for FSS @ 7:30 has the Loyola Greyhounds visiting Kentucky on replay, while SportSouth has a riveting Iron Bowl documentary. FSS's website and the Hawks' website still don't show it airing. Rathbun just tweeted he'll be there, but I don't know if that's for on-the-clock work or just for kicks and giggles. MC just confirmed for somebody on Twitter it's League Pass only (unless you're in the Carolinas). ~lw3

Only if you get Fox Sports Carolinas up your way, GM. Won't be on Fox Sports South or SportSouth. 680 The Fan will have it on radio locally. ~lw3

"The Full Monta" jokes in 3, 2, 1... ~lw3

As an aside, Jeff had an ankle roll today in practice, as per Micah Hart, probably nothing too bad. Jon Newberry's camp report at: http://hawksbasketblog.com/2011/12/21/wednesdays-training-camp-update-2/ ~lw3

Good tidings and cheer among the point guards this season, as reported by one of the Langs (Greene, at HOOPSWORLD): http://www.hoopsworld.com/nba-am-jeff-teague-laughing-off-pressure http://www.hoopsworld.com/nba-am-derrick-rose-bulls-agree-to-new-deal ~lw3

Sounds like 'no'. There are a number of appreciative comments among the Twitterverse, including a twitpic or two of the gift cards, although #notsureifplanted ... ~lw3

Fans will have to cheer for a guy they villified in recent years, having signed Reggie Evans according to Marc Spears (Yahoo!) on Twitter. Of course, ONLY after shipping Kaman out... ~lw3

Somebody, check the egg nog... ~lw3

A superduperstar can up the worth and attractiveness of a franchise so that someone with real money (and, perhaps, a clue) will want to pry it from a lousy ownership group. See Reinsdorf, Jerry [1985] and the lawsuit-laden, stuck-in-the-mud Chicago 'spirit group' (including Steinbrenner and Lamar Hunt) that couldn't sell out even with a prized rookie Michael Jordan marqueeing Chicago Stadium. Reinsdorf canned then-GM Rod Thorn within a week of buying the team, and set in motion (with new GM Jerry Krause) the championship-quality moves that made the Bulls DA BULLS. ~lw3
