Everybody, I do an NBA webshow every day. Please check it out! The website is: http://jvnbatalk.weebly.com The YouTube channel is: http://www.youtube.com/jvnbatalk Thanks!!!

I started up a new Hawks blog called "ATLANTA HAWKS: On the court!". Please check it out! You can get to it by clicking here: http://atlantahawksblog.blogspot.com/ Thanks! GO HAWKS!

I really hope Smoove will stick to his words. He needs to stop taking outside shots and start getting inside where he can be a monster!

There is always Pape Sy. He is listed as a PG, and I figure that there is no harm in trying him out. When Teague needs a break, instead of moving Jamal or Joe to the point, we should put Pape Sy in.

I agree. The Hawks are my first favorite team and the Thunder are my second favorite team. That would be an awesome finals series.

We shouldn't start Jamal over JJ in the first round, because if JJ and the rest of the starters are off, then we need Jamal to come off the bench to get things under control.

I will always be a Hawks fan. They could go 0-82, and I would still cheer them on every single game.

I think that this was a good move. Since we lost Jordan Crawford and a first round pick, we could use another young player. And since Al is really a PF, we can always use more centers. I am not at all opposed us signing this guy. He adds another rookie to the team and he has potential based on those highlights courtesy of GameTime (thanks!). I think that Rolle will give us another big man to help contain Dwight Howard in the playoffs.

Kirk is better than Bibby. The trade would've been fine if we threw in Teague instead of Jordan Crawford. Jordan Crawford is now ranked fourth among all rookies in the league behind Blake Griffin, John Wall, and DeMarcus Cousins. This guy is off the charts. He had a 39-point game. Then he got a triple-double. He is great. The trade would've been fine without him included.

I really hope LD draws up some ISO plays for JJ and Jamal come the playoffs. They are so much more effective when you isolate them. In a motion offense, you don't get the same kind of offense from them.

Although Pape Sy didn't score and missed a layup, his only shot attempt, he proved to be a quick, effective player. He came up with a really nice steal and he puts a lot of effort into his game. I hope LD starts using him more. I watched him play in the D-League for the Flash and let me tell you, that dude has a lot of potential.

Jordan is now ranked #4 amongst all rookies in the league. Only Blake Griffin, John Wall, and DeMarcus Cousins are ranked ahead of him.

Has LD finally gotten it together? Four-straight? Wins against Orlando and Boston? Is our team finally getting to where we should be?

This was most definitely LD's best coaching of his career as a head coach. Well done!

BK was better than Rick Sund, but if we're gonna hire a new GM, it should be somebody a lot better than either of them. Yes, BK was better than Rick Sund, but that isn't saying much.

It is sad. ASG was too cheap to hire a REAL coach.

A lot of people are discussing making Jeff Teague the starting point guard. That is why we got Captain Kirk! Kirk is better than JT. JT should not be playing as little time as he is, but he shouldn't be starting over Kirk. Unless JT does awesome in the playoffs, Kirk should get the starting job. JT needs to be getting as many bench mins as Jamal and Zaza. That will allow him to develop into an eventual starter.

In the limited playing time that Hilton has seen since arriving in Atlanta, he has shown some talent. As for Josh Powell, he was playing a lot earlier this season. He had a great midrange jumpshot. Now both of them are getting DNP-CDs practically every game. They aren't inactive (usually if everyone's healthy, LD inactivates Etan Thomas and Pape Sy. They dress, but sit on the bench the whole entire game unless it is a blowout and LD decides to give them some garbage time. They have been playing less than Randolph Morris and Mario West did last season. They have more talent then Randolph. Mario was probably better than either Hilton or Josh Powell, but still! These guys should not be getting this many DNP-CDs. Any thoughts?

Jamal is my favorite Hawks player.

Yeah, unfortunately it is his shooting hand. He is out for the Cavs game.

We don't need to trade Jamal!!! In the offseason, first we need to fire LD and forget about this season. We need to bring in a new coach, not just like promote Bob Bender. Then, we trade Marvin, JSmoove, and Twin to the Wizards for Rashard Lewis and Javale McGee. Look at our lineup then: PG - Kirk Hinrich SG - Joe Johnson SF - Rashard Lewis PF - Al Horford C - Javale McGee

I have a trade idea: Hawks trade: Josh Smith MarvIn Williams Jason Collins Wizards trade: Rashard Lewis Javale McGee How does this sound? Then the Hawks starting lineup could be: PG - Kirk Hinrich SG - Joe Johnson SF - Rashard Lewis PF - Al Horford C - Javale McGee This trade allows us to move Al to his natural PF spot while adding a good, tall center. WE KEEP JAMAL! We have Jamal on the bench as our 6th man. This lineup would be beast!!!

The Atlanta Hawks had four buzzer-beaters last season. A Josh Smith tip-in against the Houston Rockets. A Joe Johnson jumper agoinst the Charlotte Bobcats. A Jamal Crawford three-pointer against the Phoenix Suns. A Josh Smith putback dunk against the Orlando Magic. This season is almost over and we have had no buzzer-beaters. None! What does this say about the Hawks this year compared to last year's Hawks?

Powell played a lot of minutes early in the season and he has a great midrange jumper. He can really help us out at center, so I don't see why LD doesn't play him a lot more often. I was extremely happy when we traded Mo Evans for Hilton Armstrong. He is one of the most underrated centers in the league. He should've gotten playing time too. JT hasn't been playing well since that one good night, so even though I don't like Jamal running the point, I don't blame LD for keeping JT out. As for Jason Collins, we only need him when we take on the teams with really good big men. Detroit is not a game we need Twin for.

I would take Woody back in an instant. LD has proven to be a huge downgrade from Woody. Woody was an above average coach with the ability to run a basketball team. LD is a joke.
