atlhawks1

i never liked josh smith. he represents what a basketball purist hates, a athletic all about me player without fundamentals or a team concept.......( carmelo anthony is another)..

something about intangibles that pero brings............lmao

the league and networks can change what gets televised if they want to. they already did it with that atlanta vs detroit game. they wanna continue to market PLAYERS, not teams......thats how the nba has always been.....

exactly what i said. brand does more in ONE possession than pero does the whole game.......

not a knock against elton brand, but its bad when he is your best 5 coming off the bench............

but was he better than payne?? and to be honest, brand has looked better when given the opportunity. pero sucks big time.......

somebody PLEASE tell me WHAT is it that Antić is doing that made the hawks feel like they didnt need payne. please, somebody, tell me SOMETHING......lmao.........this is ridiculous.........

like i said, he is the hawks version of the falcons biermann.......a coach favorite who is taking up minutes from better players........

bring it. anytime you hear announcer bob rathbun say " and Antić hoists a brick " , its time to rethink your center position.......lmao

Lets keep this real. The Hawks, like ive said over and over, are a PURELY built jump shooting team. The low post is a after thought. Pero supporters say that " he brings the intangibles that coach bud likes." " he spreads the floor". He brings intangibles alright. He intangles the hawks into letting other teams stay in the game. Last year, without Horford, and with a young team still learning the system, we still almost beat the Pacers in the playoffs. Problem was, Pero shot us out of winning that series. The things that people say he can do, he is NOT doing. Dude hoisting bricks. Misses one on nothing layups. Is terrible on the fast break, and thats if he gets out and runs at all, doe not block shots. Dude is in the way and coach bud, for all he has done great, and he has, the ONE mistake thats gonna bite the hawks in the butt is keeping Pero in the rotation and not going out and at LEAST getting a big that can rebound and defend the paint. Ive seen enough of the Hawks to see what they are about. If the shots are falling, they CANT be beat. If they shoot average to poor, you got your chance. The reason is obvious, they cant rebound or defend the paint. Too much pressure is put on Millsap to hold down his scoring and trying to rebound. Horford as we all know has never been a true center. When you watch the hawks games, like last night, they have to work themselves into a shooting groove, while the other teams are starting to destroy the inside of the hawk defense for easy buckets. Lets hope this boo boo by hawks management doesnt bite us in the playoffs because im tired of Pero being in the rotation shooting bricks. Teams dont even defend him anymore.....

the pero counter: 1. hoist 3 point bricks. check 2. bad pass that gets intercepted. check 3. blows fastbreak easy layup. check 4. misses one on nothing layup. check

is pero still a hawk? if so, the bucks got a chance. lmao

pero for the brick attempt at a layup that gets taken from him........ THIS is what i posted in the trade section. THIS is why i said the hawks are feeling themselves thinking they gonna jump shoot their way to a championship. THIS is why i said they need balance on offense by having a interior game and shouldve went after a big that can operate in the middle and rebound. i said it in the trade section and im quoting myself: " exactly. his scrub play ALLOWED indiana to stay in that series. you can ignore it all day, but the hawks are a JUMP SHOOTING team. for the last two years, anytime they have gotten into trouble its because their jumpers werent falling. this means that if they cant hold the paint down and rebound and block shots, etc. they lose. so, if you GONNA GO WITH A CENTER THAT SPREADS THE FLOOR, he better have a higher shooting percentage than pero. i rather the hawks have some balance, somebody who can hit the boards and REALLY do that dirty work they need. teams have figured atlanta out, which is why they have lost what is it, 3 or 4 of their last six. to beat atlanta, you dont chase them around on defense, you let them shoot the jumpers and defend the paint and work the boards on offense. thats how memphis beat them. "

" he bricks it " lmao another pero brick....... exactly........lmao

let me see. pero Antić: 1. hoist brick that hits NOTHING.........check 2. bad pass that leads to a steal........check

i want them to make the knock out move THIS year, while the east can be had.

EVERY team in any sport has a weak point. you know exactly what i mean. teams have figured out that IF they gonna beat the hawks, its in the paint. its no wonder this city has ONE championship in 50 years of pro sports.......same ole same ole......it like these teams allergic to REALLY winning. going to the playoffs is nothing. its about chips........

spud webb..

exactly. his scrub play ALLOWED indiana to stay in that series. you can ignore it all day, but the hawks are a JUMP SHOOTING team. for the last two years, anytime they have gotten into trouble its because their jumpes werent falling. this means that if they can hold the paint down and rebound and block shots, etc. they lose. so, if you GONNA GO WITH A CENTER THAT SPREADS THE FLOOR, he better have a highter shooting percentage than pero. i rather the hawks have some balance, somebody who can hit the boards and REALLY do that dirty work they need. teams have figured atlanta out, which is why they have lost what is it, 3 or 4 of their last six. to beat atlanta, you dont chase them around on defense, you let them shoot the jumpers and defend the paint and work the boards on offense. thats how memphis beat them.

when horford went down last year, pero was the difference in us losing that indiana series and possibly going further with a team that still hadnt mastered coach bud's system. i know basketball. been watching basketball since lenny wilkins supersonics, hubie brown hawks,etc. in fact, tom mcmillan ( played under hubie brown with the hawks) is the type of player that you are talking about. can stretch the floor and pass the ball........

if sylvestor stallone can get a statute for a FAKE rocky character up in philly, then dominique wilkins can and deserves a statute in front of phillips arena............

spread the floor so that he almost always wind up hoisting a brick.. we can bring moose in to do that. ANYBODY can run out to the wing and hoist a brick........get real. Antić is the hawks version of the falcons biermann. coach favorite taking up a spot that can be better used......

thats not what im seeing. im seeing a team getting beat on the boards........

but when i suggested we TRY and get mason plumlee in the trade section, i was clowned. look, i know the hawks are not gonna get plumlee and i know my scenario was just something i put out there, but the hawks need to do SOMETHING. sap and horford have never been rebounding or rim protecting machines. they need help and im tired of the Antić " has value" crap coming out of coach bud's mouth in reference to Antić. Antić needs to be on the END of the bench. bring moose in or get somebody else to take up that freed up roster spot. we dont need yet another wing, we need interior help. if horford gets into foul trouble in the playoffs, well.......get another big.
