ATLHawks3

Wait, you saw him put on lotion in the post game interview?

And I thought that Nets team was going to get exposed against them. Well, I was wrong. They played as a unit and ran the heat out of the Barclays Center.

Terrence Ross and DeMarr Derozan are 2 guys I would go after.

Lol it's just 3 games.

I'm confused............

As long as he play's solid defense, and is a good hustler, he's alright with me. Anything he provides offensively is a bonus.

Same as Nogueira, they want him to get minutes and develop more in Spain before they bring him on in.

You could tell from last night that Dennis has no confidence in his offensive game. I would love to see him slash more and get some points for himself.

Watch out during the trade deadline. You never know......

And the funny thing is, these guys haven't even learned all of offensive and defensive plays. And I agree with you, I'm happy the team played so well offensively, but as the season goes on, I'll be even more happier when their knowledge of this defense kicks in.

Al Horford was really why we lost this game. He wasn't present offensively, he wasn't rebounding the way we are used to seeing, but he did play solid defense with 5 steals and 4 blocks. You can see this team is going to be heavily dependent on Horford, if we want to win alot of games. Overall, the team played well. Carroll and Martin are looking to be the best steals in free-agency. Milsap displayed his plethora of offensive tools. And we saw an agressive Jeff Teague! Let's regroup and focus for the game Friday against the Raptors.

Jeff Teague has arrived.

How's Evan Turner looking now?

Teague has been so agressive. We need this from him on a night to night basis.

What other ways can we acquire a superstar? Trade? Unlikely. Free-Agency? Doubtful. Drafting? Likely.

Yeah I can see that. But I would understand more if he was that gritty, blue collared guy he was coming out of college. I say believe in the "system" as in accepting the title of becoming a number one option on the floor. A guy who knows what do to do when the ball swings around to him. I agree, he's been really good for us over the last 6 or 7 years. But instead of complaining about this team, why don't you spend those few extra hours in the gym working on some of your weaknesses? I wish the best for Al, but if he doesn't believe in the future of this team, then what's the point of keeping him as a franchise centerpiece? I don't want another "Josh" situation, and if this was what he really said, then we need to ship him out of Atlanta, while his trade value is still high.

No one is really discussing the Elephant in the room. How do we get a superstar that can turn this franchise from middle of the pack, to contention?

And they're rankings is a bit wacky.

They have Dennis that high?

Lol, this is by far the best thread of the year.

It's still sad that loyalty doesn't mean a thing in the NBA.

I do both, which is where I think a true fan should be.

Either way this is my team, and I'm gonna stick with my team.

LET'S GO HAWKS!

There's nothing wrong with that. Some people still like the idea of this team "Staying Competitive".
