Obligatory Mike Scott shenanigans...

Damn, Teague is looking absolutely jacked.. interior defenses beware.

Both the PS4 and Xbox One are sold at a loss, but that's not what Sony nor Microsoft are concerned about. They purposely sell at a loss to acquire a large install base. Most of the money is actually made in software sales and licensing fees.

What an invasion of privacy, I can't believe this story got leaked. It is relieving knowing Monroe didn't hurt anyone though.

"I don't condone hitting women" well done P- "BUT"

Anyone else notice that Danny Ferry has sort of become a real life Ron Burgandy?

There's nothing inherently wrong or politically incorrect with wanting more draw among demographic groups or seeking out resources to increase interest levels among said groups. It's what advertising is all about. When businesses want more sales, they evaluate demographics and strategize accordingly to accommodate for any bodies that could see improvement. I see no difference in a team hiring a player for marketing purposes and a celebrity being hired to market a product, service, or organization because it has the same effect. This isn't defending Levenson, what he did was stereotype African Americans and viewed them as incompatible with white people. I agree with you that a player's talent and fit is what should decide his signing, but not all organizations have this mindset. Winning basketball is more important to the Mavericks and their owner as apposed to... well, us and our ownership. There is no positive context for our situation, I wasn't trying to imply that. There is no excuse for what was said and I will not defend it. I was simply answering the question you posted as to why the nationality of a free agent might sometimes come into play during free agency.

If you don't think Jeremy Lin's nationality and marketability come into effect during his free agent negotiations, you're lying to yourself.

I'm not sure if someone's posted this already, but here's Kareem's take on Levenson.

Don't expect any love from 2K, last season they had Mike Scott's 3 point attribute at 38..

I'm in the Gwinnett area (around 30 miles from Atlanta) and I try to make it out to ~5 games a season. Between going to school full time and working part time, I can't really find the time to attend more unfortunately. Once I finish my degree and get a real job, the Hawks have themselves a new season ticket holder.

I'm fine with his statement as long as the cornerstones also take the brunt of the responsibility no matter the outcome of each game. None of that "lost as a team" nonsense if this is how he feels.

I would say that along with 'A-town' and 'the A' are the modern versions.

I second that. The term 'Hotlanta' is never used by people ITP nor people OTP. If they were serious about this whole pride thing, they would have 'Atlana' across the chest.

It's the yearly Adidas catalog and it's not a Photoshop as bad as it may look. Here it is in its entirety and an ESPN link spotlighting this year's changes before the catalog was leaked. Pride dropped. The catalog was revised and sent out the day before the Hornets jerseys were officially unveiled thus blank placeholders. The sleeved jerseys are still a go and Portland has already revealed theirs.

Ownership's too cheap and no mod wants to come Atlanta.

This is a great idea. Maybe even make an "Introduce Yourself" forum for the new members.

Oh, it's this thread again... *sigh*

It's a hypothetical, replace Millsap with Josh for the 6 seasons he played here with Horford. The same time table, not just 6 years from the present. Top 5 in offensive EFF.

When did I say anything about next year? If there's someone willing to bet that, let me get some money in on it too. Maybe I could have worded it better, but if you were to replace Smith with Millsap over the same 6 year timetable, Horford/Millsap would reach top 5 easily.

The fact that the mark left after 6 seasons was matched by Horford/Millsap in that short time is still impressive. If we had a timetable of Horford and Millsap over 6 years, I guarantee you could find a top 5 spot. How about we compare the offensive efficiency of Horford/Smith in their first year together with the offensive efficiency of Horford/Millsap in their first 29 games together. Not surprised by the defense, I don't think anyone was expecting more than average.
