well i too have been inpressed with jc2, and we have no one else that can get you instant scoring off that bech but jamal, mo evans has been abismall. their are some nights we need extra fire power their & at least drew is giving teague enough time to sniff the floor. teauge should be able to get us at least 8 pts. a game with the time he gets coming off the bench, i say if he cant do that by midseason i say replace him with jc2

what else concerns me is joe doesnt even take the ball to the basket anymore. i see him pulling up on fast breaks even when its 2 on 2.

well i think larry drew was right in his post game interveiw,"something is going on off the court". are they involved in too many wild orgies,are they partying too hard.i now we could use some guards that can break down a defense and has some balls like jordon crawford. i say shake up the lineup a little and start sitting guys that dont show you any heart. i would give josh powel marvins spot and have mavin come off the bench. just down right enbarrasing the hawks should be playing GA.STATE. our 120 million dollar man is gutless for 120 million he should be stroking jumpers like garnet and that little leprikaun nate.

anothwr thing that i noticed thats alarming, on the fast breaks even when its 2 on 2 he does not even try to drive to the basket anymore. AGAIN I ASK HOW LONG IS ACCEPTABLE SLUMP FOR 120 MILLION DOLLAR PLAYER on your team. their is a such thing as a quiet 20 pts. joe should be able to back into 20 pts. by accident.

i am usually the first to critcise so let me be the first to compliment. i like what lary drew is doing. jj is not playing 39 minutes, i see our big men passing from the high post to take advantage of easy scoring oppertunitys. i like the fact that even though teague hasnt scored, he is giving him some playing time so he doesnt totally loose confidence. but he is taking advantage of what teague does offer right now , which is a quicker tempo and quick hands on defense, he just recently chipped in for7 pts. the other night. you can see his confidense building, if he could just give us 10 off the bench. i also like the fact that he is investing time in josh powell. he may not give us much on the defensive end, but that got is quick in the paint on the offensive end. i feel if he could ever get into some offensive rythim or find his niche in this offense we will benefit greatly.WOODY really held this team back and may have retarded their growth despite what the record says.

if we are not championship contenders, we definately cant afford to get rid of the only highlight reel we have.all the great performers we have and he is the only one with a major commercial that puts us on the mapp.

i am tired of all the excuses for jj a 120 million dollar man ought to be able to get you 20 pts. a night. im afraidt to think what might happen if we loose jamal if we constantly got to wait to allmost the end of the fourth qt. for joe to warm up. well how long is acceptable for a shooting slump to last for the superstar of your team b/c 2 yrs. ago joe acctually went 2 months without scoring 20 pts.

well i can say this much at least he will be able to dunk on fastbreaks unlike zaza, we need a center that can complete putbacks and explode off the floor for a dunk when he is up under the rim , not pump fake and hesitate like a bunck of stuck gears like zaza. it looks like this guy could giveus an NENE type effort. And i agree with that one poster, we spend 100 million for jj and then want spend anextra 5 million to help round out the team (that allso could have went for a coach with a good name)

like i said i could se paying joe 17 million for 3 yrs. just to say thankyouy but for 6 , are you kidding me, joe needs to grab his balls and get on out of town. we give him the max and hes acting like a child that got the wrong color bike for christmas.

i cant complain about the pick im just glad it wasnt damien james, but what are we doing with new jersey now that we have a guard we are going to need a 7 foot goon.it semm like the bigs are yarners in this draft they sure are getting picked late.

loking at the youtube whiteside looks like he could be a poormans dwight howard with a litlle mor bodywork and alabi doesnt look as bad as a stif that i am reading about.it seems he could do something for us in the paint if its no more then being a 7 foot goon. its better than just relying on zaza.

yea go figure RON ARTEST won game 7 and the boston celtics turn into the atlanta hawks in the last 5 minutes of the game trying to run iso to make the big shot.would perkins stoped LA from getting all of those offensive rebounds i dont know, but rasheed scored on the offensive end.

well its like JOSH SMITH SAID"now that we have a coach, we got to convence free agents to come here." thats why we we needed a coach with a name to peek fan intrest and free agents even if mark jackson has flopp written all over him, how much more of an influence would we have if we had him as a coach with free agents. its sad i saw no air time at all for a larry drew hire on sportcenter. its like asg pickedup a dull pair of clippers.its like they got a 500 dlr. paint job at MAACO.

the babitt and paul george picks are slated to go way b/f we pick but if by chance they fall, there is nothing wrong with them but i think picking up lance stephenson looks more realistic especially if joe is gone.

well according to everybody iam listening to around here , hiring a coach is a crapshoot and everytime i listen to a huddle all i hear is a bunch of RA RA speeches maybe coaches are overated and its all about talent, that being said i still think the hawks need to at least hire a GOOD name just to keep the fan base interested. AVERY, MARK JACKSON, BYRON SCOTT, hell even DAN MARJOLE.

the hawks really have nothing to get excited about according to mock draft b/c SOLOMON ALABI is slated to go to minesota a pick before us and word is he is worse off than thebet right now in his developement. then they have us picking damion james at SF whom is very atheletic and a rebounding force but nothing else translation ( might as well keep marvin). however i wouldnt mind gambleling on the shooting guard lance stephenson a pick behind us especially if joe leaves.

i was one of smooths greatest allis and was behemethly against trading him but i would give him up for a brook lopez. i dont know about the other guys.

when it comes to discussing joe johnson GM,s have got to be pulling moneybags off the table and putting them back in the vault and saying "NO I JUST CANT DO IT"!!!!!!!

if you want a revalution the only solution is evolve, got to evolve, got to can woodson to start for some one who could make the besy out of his roster than just let them rust on the bench.

i have defended keeping smotth but after looking at some of his lack of hustle plays i say trade himto the suns to see if you can get brian lopez for him. but we must get a good not great center for him, and joe jonson i was at least saying give him17 mil. a yr. for saying thankyou but i get sick in my stomach even giving him 15 after this i might give him 15 and 3 yrs. i couldntgive him four or five yrs. at that price, jamal has carried the team in most of the games.

well thats the same thing i sugested insteade o wasted space for randolp morris and mario, lok what delfino did to us.

well they deserve it they should be laughed at, people who dont know the hawks ought to be asking how did they make the playoffs with an undersized center and nobody atheleticly big coming off the bench and slow pont guards that can only skip the the ball up the court.

MR. SUND YOU NEED TO TAKE OUT AN ADD IN THE ATLANTA JOURNAL and issue an oppology b/c you saw deficiency before the trading deadline boston were champions and didnt stand pat millwaukee is a smallmarket team and didnt stand pat. i stillsay this we are very fortunate that they were down 2 major stars if you ask me that is the only reason why we came out victrious from the bucks. what was your upgrade you cut one of our bigs for mario west, woooooooooooo!!! as for joe johnson i was talking barbershop fodder and the guys now say they wouldnt give joe too much more than what he is making right now, again i say put17 mill a yr. on the table just to say thankyou and tell himmto take it or leave it. he probably would fit better being a side kick (playing robin) along side rose. even thouh i know loosing him would mean rebuilding but hey lokking at this series its eitheir tear down and rebuild or continue toexperiance beat downs like this in the secound round, a team that will tease us to only give us a limped erection at the end.

well thats why all bullhorns needed to be pointed in sunds direction i hope we dont score 50 pts. so it can really speak loudly that the product is woefully ineffecient b/c sund could have gotten us quicker at point guard by the trading dead line. i trying to figure out how did the bobcats get all those fouls on howard and we are supposed to be slightly better than them but we register none against him. i also want to know how bis it when the whole hawks team is in a slump josh smith is the one that usually lead the box scores yet we are allways frustrared with him and want him traded, the only way we can give up josh smith is if we are getting back a center like the caliber of a brook lopez. MEMO TO WOODSON AND JOE JOHNSON ISO PLAYS WILL NOT WORK AGAINST ORLANDO, kick ball from side to side and then whomever open will have to hit that jumper it is our only chance

well we have a breif receipe on how to beat them, of course they need to have an off shooting night i allways thought if we could just shade dwight on the offensive end when our players go to the basket would work but then again something that worked the last time we played is have horford make10 footers to bring him from out under the basket and we have to get off our azzes to haras their 3 pt, shooters.
