The next move is going to be the hardest for the fans.......we have to be absolutely dreadful for a year and pray CP3 and D12 dont sign with anyone else.

I actually like Stephen A. There are more than enough boring, lets just give the stats, guys on tv. I want a few guys who arent scared to step up and give their opinion, kinda like Herm Edwards. If you want stats just listen to Stuart Scott, he has enough meaningless numbers for 3 lifetimes. Only thing worse than a stat reader is the guy who never gives you an answer one way or another, just always right down the middle playing both sides. If you have an opinion then state it, dont be scared of the repercussions.The Quite Frankly show was actually pretty good. He actually asked questions that werent your standard beat reporter questions. Him and the guests seemed like they were having real conversations, not the same variation of interview athletes give all season long.

Because your superstar is not supposed to just give you a solid game. We cant rely on this guy for crap when it counts. This season Josh Smith took the next step to being the best player on the team.

They were joking during that part of the show. Barkley was laughing and saying how nobody but a fool would believe he tripped into him and it was accidental. Shaq just kept trying to be an idiot saying he was bracing himself while falling, he was laughing while trying to say it.

So in the seasons he put up 28+ points, 5 assists, and 6 rebounds a game he was the reason the didnt team didnt achieve more? You think he should have put up 40 a game? I think you should look at that Orlando roster real quick.

When you sign 2 max contract players that doesnt leave room for many other quality pieces so when one of those max contract players falls off the earth what can you do? Off the top of your head can you name the 2nd best player on those Orlando teams? Darrell Armstrong? A broke down Penny? You cant ask for more than 25, 5, and 5. T-Mac gave you that numerous times in his career, JJ never has and never will.

LOL at T-Mac not being a legit superstar in the league.  If the Grant Hill situation didnt completely waste his years in Orlando they may have been able to do something. Also i hate to say it but he is right, he should be getting more minutes.  He is the best option we have coming off the bench and should be getting more time than Marvin. I was actually disappointed that he came here. I knew he had something to offer but on this team and with this coaching staff there is no way he would get a good chance to show anything.

We will know where we stand after February. Our schedule wont include all the weak teams we have been playing. We only play 4 games against teams under 500 where in January we played 10.

Look at our February schedule, if we take care of business in that month then they will have choice but to talk about us.

Lets hope these arent the old Hawks who havent seen a team too bad to lose to.

So Smoove asked someone he isnt good friends with to be the best man at his wedding?

You said and i quote "for all we know they cannot stand each other off the court". Now if they couldnt stand each other why would they always be hanging out together at each others events?

They both recently cohosted a benefit bowling event that was all over the news in Atlanta. Matter of fact most of the charity events that Howard hosts, Smoove attends.

How many teams would be 2-0 with 2 blowouts if their first 2 games were the Nets and Wizards? Im guessing a lot. Well this Wizards team also lost to the terrible Nets. Thats all that needs to be said about the Wizards. I dont want it to seem like im hating on the team already. I just want to see this team go through some legit competition before i make a judgment.

Lets not fall into the same track that Falcons fans have where you beat up on very bad teams and think you are world beaters then when a good team shows up you get smoked.
