Hold on.... If I'm not mistaken... Didn't JSmoove take the ball off the dribble and dunk the ball on the Celtic's a series or two earlier. All possessions in a game this close, with this amount of time should be penetration plays to get either a foul or easy score.

Tonight is more proof of the HAWKS lack of a inside game.... MAKE THE TRADE FOR AMARE NOW!!!

So many lay-ups by the Clippers... Hawks are flat-footed.... Reaching.. Trying for Steals.. and are getting beat to rim and on the boards.... Ding-Ding-Ding..... Class is in session.......

I would move JSmoove, Acie, Speedy, and a pick. What many fail to realize is that many player's improve their play when that have a chance at a fresh start on a decent team. Look at many players that the hawks have moved in the past that went on to be star's on other teams.... Remember one player can make a different in the attitude and confidence of a team.... Amare would influence the Hawk's big men step up their play....... You can combine JSmoove and Acie's numbers for the season and they would not come close to Amare's numbers...... We finally would have a big man to run the offense through rather that Joe at elbow holding the damn ball all night..... Last night show's that when given the opportunity, other players like Marvin can and will step up their game...... It is my belief that this move would re-energize the fan-base here in Atlanta......

I'm curious to know if anyone has any footage of a Hawks practice. What comes after "Guys two lines lay-up drills.... Maybe Josh and JJ have a dunk and dribbling expo for the team... Woody probably practices calling time outs... and everyone else stands at the bench area and practice how to be seen not heard.... The Hawks show no offense cohesiveness at all...... I would like to see a scrimmage between the Hawks and a team that runs the Princenton Offense type sets... They really are sucking tonight.. against the heat...... We can't stop Wade from penetrating the lane..... not even when we try to trap....

ALL, TAKE A MOMENT TO BROWSE..... I'm sure you will enjoy the ride... :magnifier:

Campster are you serious...... JSmoove simply doesn't get it.... I don't see any improvement in his overall game at all..... I question his work ethic... Okay yeah, he got injured ... I will give you that........ But when you look at the way he approaches each game..... He never try's to impose his will on a team....... He show's a glimpse of his true ability....but many times only when he's pissed off.... or when someone has given him a hard foul in a earlier play.... Many times he gets caught up in one on one battles... that he seldom wins.... his basketball IQ isn't the greatest..... If he hits his first shot from the perimeter .. its going to be a long night..... If anything I see regression in his game from last season..... Everyone says he's young..... so what ....... we are paying him millions to do what ...... produce..... the D-league is for players that need to develop their skills....... Josh has to look himself in the mirror and ask himself am I putting in the work to become the best player I can be........... Look at Dwight Howard, Amare' Stoudemire, and Chris Bosh (1 yr at GT).... Does anyone remember how small and frail Chris Bosh was his rookie season..... All of these players have improved over the past years...... Josh still looks like a rookie most nights....... Coaching has a major role in his failure to progress his game, but Josh has to take it upon himself to get better, much better.

Usually the home town fans leave when the home team gets blown out the water.... Oh damn...... Orlando has hit a 3 to start the second half...... and Atlanta answers on the offensive end with getting their shot stuffed..... I digress....... on this mess...........

I personally would make there *ss stay on the court and do lay-up drills... They haven't played much defense nor generated much offense, no shot have been contested. So they all should be well rested. DAMN BUSTERS!!! HOW MONEY MUCH DID WE GIVE JSMOOVE again?

When it's time to determine if the hawks make the playoffs or not....... And they come up 1 game short.... Will we look back on loses like this one and say........ If we had only won the games that we should have won.... we would be in the playoffs.... THIS IS WHAT CAN RUIN A SEASON .... A SEASON OF HIGH EXPECTATIONS.......

I GUESS THIS IS ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE ESPN'S SPORTSCENTER..

Missed the OT... But just as well.... Hawks deserved to lose this game........ No excuse to lose this game....... Once again.... no killer instinct.......

If I see one more "BONEHEAD" play by Josh Smith, I'm going to shoot someone... Who makes a 2ft bounce pass with 3 defenders in the paint......... GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
