Kinda juiced about this announcement.... isn't it getting late in the day to announce a press conference? Or is that the plan... maybe they're only intending to put out a press release?

Fear the bun.

Yep.

NBC writer gushes... mind you, just after slapping around BOS for their lack of effort making them the worst defensive team in the league so far.

UPDATE: 10% into the season... In our 6 wins, our opponents have scored only 19, 14, 14, 13, 27, and tonight, 19 in the last 12 minutes of the game. So, 5 of 6 held under 20 points, and overall about 17.7 pts average in the 4th quarter. Good golly.

I've only been able to watch the Sixers game and the Kings game, so I'm needing your insight... as I look at these box scores with my jaw unhinged at the TO numbers.

(In my best Foghorn Leghorn voice... ) I sayuh, I sayuh, why not this for a mascot? Go College Park Chicken Hawks!

Crossing my fingers that there's an interim location planned until they get the arena built. And, seriously... who builds an arena for a D-league team? Anyone? That seems a little extreme, no?

I'm told that's a consideration, and also, they're thinking of naming the three point line for longtime College Park resident Josh Smith. That's what my sources are telling me, anyhow. And I assure you they're great sources. I have only the best sources.

Evidently, the Lakers read this thread and took offense. (You see what I did there.)

4th Quarter Opponent Scoring Wiz = 19 pts Sixers = 14 pts Kings = 14 pts I want to see this team become known as for the absolute 4th quarter juggernaut it is capable of being... Hawks fielding the equivalent of Rivera, Eckersley, Fingers, Sutter and Lee Smith... shut out shut down basketball. Let's see where things stand after playing Cavs and Bulls next week.

I will say this... I saw Edy take those free throws Saturday, and thought to myself... or maybe out loud.... "Dang. Where did his sweet shooting stroke go?" It was like he was just slinging them up there. It kinda startled me b/c I've always thought that was a real cause for optimism, ie, that he was so fluid.

I was thinking Blake signed to play overseas.

I said this last season. You could be right, but at least last season, I was wrong. His defense, in particular, improved.

Don't think it works that way @macdaddy. My understanding is that regardless of who he would play for, us or otherwise, it reduces what we owe him on the original contract.

I still think we'll be on the phone with Jack's agent as soon as there's any certainty about the Scott situation. Either Kelly or Scott eventually won't be here, and a 3rd PG will.

Flabbergastededededed. I honestly don't get it, as I really felt certain Edy was in a position to develop like never before, from going at it every day in practice with Dwight. How to read this? First thought.... Moose is now a full-time C. Second thought... Kelly is the new insurance against Scott's exit... and for that matter, he's Scott's replacement until further notice.

To be clear, production-wise at the same stage of career, the two are comparable.

... over at Peachtree hoops. http://www.peachtreehoops.com/2016/10/30/13470184/hawks-vs-sixers-recap-mike-muscala-thabo-sefolosha You guys might remember... I'm a big Moose fan. Just in case you forgot... Zaza plus a point or two, minus a rebound or two. :) Just occurred to me, maybe that's b/c one of my best friends while at Marshall is/has been the PBP guy for Bucknell the last several years, and I think he told me once that he's been lurking the board ever since we drafted him.

I can agree with a lot of that... think there's some overlap in this and what kg01 said.

I'm glad, yet, I'm very conscious that we've really only done so far what should be expected given the offenses we've so far faced... right?

There's win one for the Gipper.... and now, win one for your Gussie!

So anxious already to see Bud give him 10 minutes.

I was like "dang, you made me tear up at that presser, don't be making me tear up again about Grandma!!!"
