  3. Garrett Siler...waived by Utah Flash?

    WOW

    Chris Gay of the Augusta Chronicle who has been following this dude for years went out of his way to email me last week out of the blue to tell me Siler was going to be an Atlanta Hawk next season.

    He told me Siler had a commitment this year but ownership wanted to save money and carry one less man.

    1 +1 = 3 here it seems. Somebody has some 'splaining to do.

    Lots of 'splaining....

    What exactly has he been "dead on" about?

    Um, if I have to explain it to you it's kinda sad. But if you insist....Marvin not deserving a contract extension?

  7. Hawks-76ers

    Teams are adjusting to Josh going to the basket all the time now. I think it's one reason why he's finding it tougher to score inside compared to him seemingly scoring at ease at the start of the season.

    Or it just had to do with Samuel Dalembert .

  8. Would the Orlando

    With the way Orlando shut us down in the 2nd half, only Lebron, Kobe, Bosh, or someone in that mold could have kept us in it. Definetely not Chilz.

    Orlando didn't shut anyone down. Hawks simply couldn't make a shot. Orlando's defense had nothing to do with it.

  13. Guess our final record.

    in Homecourt

    I know, it's a little early, but I would like to gauge exactly what everyone thinks this teams potential record can be.

    First, state what you think the Hawks final regular season record will be. Second give a reason that would 'in your opinion' substantiate your view. Feel free to also write how deep into the playoffs you think this team will/could go.

    Okay, I'll start first....

    Regular season record: 58-24

    Although we have gotten off to a fast start, I see us coming back down to earth a little bit. One reason I feel this way, is I think it's nearly impossible to avoid injuries as a team and at some point we will probably lose at least a few key pieces. Hopefully it's for a relatively short period of time though.This is a tough and well balanced team, but our January schedule is going to be really tough and I think that will contribute to a slight fall off. I do feel that we are going to make that leap to be one of the top three teams in the east, with Boston being the odd man out. I see it finishing; Orlando, Cleveland, Atlanta, Boston.

    I think we can make a deep run in the playoffs as long as our fast break offense and points in the paint keep up at this torrid pace. We will be a very tough team to beat come playoff time and I don't think there will be any team that will want to draw us. However, if we wanna take that next step and be title contenders, our defense MUST improve. If we can curb our defense and continue our points in the paint, we'll certainly be in the conversation for Eastern Conference Champs!

    Oh yeah, one other thing, Hawks fans need to show up to the games and make Phillips be a place no one wants to play--we need that playoff atmosphere!

  20. Mess without Bibby

    in Homecourt

    Posted

    I was kinda skeptical when Bibby said during the summer that he ran all the plays. After tonight's game, I'm really believing that he is the field general and Woody just lets him run what he wants to run.

    It's sad really. This team could be a lot better if we didn't have to rely on ISO Joe.

    I mean what does Woody expect? He play Joe 45 minutes last night, they took a late flight and we clearly see the results. Joe had no bounce in his step whatsoever. Sad.

  22. We must beat the Magic.

    in Homecourt

    Posted

    The quality of play on court is looking more and more like last years team. Yes. This team isn't going to have the best record in the NBA before long. This team will have the same basic situation as last year by the end of this year.

    Were 11-3....THE SKY IS FALLING.....BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  24. Who could beat the Hawks

    in Homecourt

    Posted

    Teams with defensive bigs and shooters will give us trouble. That includes some sorry teams too. Teams like Charlotte, NO, and yes Boston. We dominated Boston because we out rebounded them... it will take that kind of effort everytime we go out against those type of teams. Our strength is in our rebounding and our shot selection. With that, here are the teams that will give us trouble:

    Lakers,

    Celtics,

    Bobcats

    Orlando

    NO

    Here's some maybes:

    Cavs

    Sactown

    Portland

    Milwaukee

    Houston

    Philly

    Denver

    Healthy NJ

    Still, if we get hot, there's not many teams that can stand in our wake.

    New Orleans???
