I am so happy this happened. My favorite two Hawks are gone. Now I don't have any interest in this franchise which is not much different than it was when I moved to ATL in 2002. 14 years later and they are still lying to there fans. Bud has a system? Yeah right, we were a below .500 team in Bud's first year. The players are still the system. Ferry was already caught in his BS. Bud had a DUI right after signing with the Hawks. There was really a competition between Teague and Dennis for the PG position and Dennis won? That trade Teague for nothing worthy of noting in the draft was really smart? Volatile Dwight and Dennis. We really have a culture change? No, these guys are used car salesmen.

I said to myself that I was going to make one last post on this site if and when Teague was traded so that Dennis could take over but my energy has left me with this poor trade. I will simply state that there was no competition between Teague and Dennis; it was more like controversy. Finally, I will not do it on this site where people argue just to argue, but I contest anyone that says Teague has peaked with facts.

Good win. Happy we survived Bud's bullshit. The average person works 5 days a week, 8 hours a day in a row in this country. Don't agree with this type of stuff but moving on.

The refs and ourselves

That's what women say when I tell them they were the best I ever had. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MbxH3HIVas

Celtics are a much better team than the Sixers. They just beat NO the other night by 8. Without Horford and Korver who is possibly the key to our offense I think the Hawks will get just what they deserve for disrespecting the Celts

Never happened.

Al takes the 2nd most shot on the team.

Horford is not really having a good year. His rebounding has been pathetic for the most part. Hopefully he refines the Horford of 18,8 or more on a consistent basis in the 2nd half of the season.

Sticking to my guns. There is a block button if you want to dismiss me. I have used it a couple of times.

The other guy being dismissive and irking you is not bothered by you being irked. He also stated up 30 going into the fourth it would be fine to put Payne in there. The other guys point was well stated and obvious. Payne is not ready so don't put him in there until the game is decided.

Listening to your opinion on the Hawks players and basketball in general vs listening to someone that actually knows what they are talking about is like comparing reality to fantasy.

Nice game for Al. Sure he will not do it when we need it though.

no

You are one step away from my shit list. Tone it down.

Why Not Ohio St? They got to the final four but there is no way they beat Alabama because they are not that good and really don't deserve to be there. Ohio St 42 Alabama 35 Final score Well, there is zero chance they beat Oregon. Oregon is simply too explosive and talented for them. Yes, this is true even though they just beat the number one rated team in the playoff system. Ohio St 42 Oregon 20 Final score Why can't we be Ohio State? The team that everyone doubts the whole year? Why do we have to go getting cocky, taking the Alabama, Oregon, approach to be the superior team with the superior talent? I am noticing threads popping up by people calling games like this against Philly AAU games. Are we supposed to be happy with a coach that is so cocky and unprofessional that he throws games by pulling multiple players for rest just because you have four games this week? We should not be happy this at all. It simply sends the wrong message. We are not Alabama or Oregon, we are not cocky and blessed with superior talent. We are Ohio St, the underdogs no matter how many games we win, how professional we are, how good our coach is. This is not a Ohio St moment. This is a Alabama, Oregon, moment. VS.

The last and only game Payne played in was the Bucks game that we got destroyed in. I happen to think that was our most unprofessional game and playing Payne was part of the unprofessional attitude that was exhibited in that game. He looked totally lost and out of sync like the whole team. Why play Payne tonight? Because the Sixers are not that good. That is the only reason. That is also the wrong attitude and approach to take. Don't take any team lightly. Payne is not a rotation player. If it is a 30 pt blowout going into the fourth play him, other than that he should not be out there.

Philly is more likely to beat us than Payne, Jenkins, Moose, etc. playing. Threads like this are silly and I hope the Hawks don't take this unprofessional stance or they will be the laughing stocks of the league tomorrow night.

He is a stretch big but that does not mean he fits, kinda like the Payne mistake

He was always a bad pick.

Wall is definitely a better individual player but I am not sure he is more of a winning player than Teague in this system. If Teague had to be the undeniable best player of a team, he will look much worse than Wall.

Yes one day, we will lose

Good team win. Dennis and Jeff were a little off in terms of scoring the ball and Jeff was not making Wall go left all the time, but other than that we were fine.

Don't see how they got a 20 pt lead not playing well defensively
