  1. In the d league he shot the three at a decent clip 37.5% I believe. I think a couple of seasons with the Hawks shooting coaches and his three point shot will be serviceable. I'm all for having him as the backup point if he gets his 3 pt shooting down.
  2. Draft three super stars ? I'd take that every day.
  3. The Hawks can move the pick. I know that for sure. I'm not sure if it's up to 2021. I believe it's 2020. If it doesn't convey by 2020 or whatever, the Hawks get second rounds picks.
  4. Uhh it won't be the #30 overall pick. The Hawks can move to pick up to 2021 I believe. Will the Cavs be that good in 2021 when LeBron is 36? God forbid LBJ decides to leave before then. Then we may have a #11 pick. Anything can happen. It was well worth letting Korver go and getting any kind of first round compensation for it.
  5. I believe a good cheap back up for Howard next year will be Festus Ezeli. He can rebound and block shots. He's coming off knee surgery so he'll be cheap. Give him a cheap two year prove it deal and hope his knees hold up.
  6. I believe this article is referencing the Hawks exit interviews on Saturday. Dwight was not saying he was pissed at the organization. He was saying he was pissed off because the team lost and wished he could contribute more. He did have piss poor bodily language during the interview which I attribute to him being upset about the loss. At this point, Dwight needs to get whatever ails his back fixed or just except that he'll have a reduced roll. Bud is not trying to pacify Dwight or his ego.
  7. I'm proudly rooting for every Western Conference team the rest of the way. Pop needs to go out and get his 6th!
  8. I believe the plan was to bring back Horford and Howard and shop Milsap for draft capital. Horford blew that up. The man was talking with Isiah at the All-star game about playing in Boston. I'm sorry, but he already had 1 foot and all his rebounding out the door. Bud was giving Al exactly what he wanted, a move to PF. Al decided to leave. We've debated this endlessly on this board, The conclusion is Whoreford wanted to be a Celtic. What the Hawks did was offer him the average salary of the his contract with the Celtics for 5 years, which is more than any team could offer him and was more than fair
  9. Let's not blame this season on the front court. The problems with this team last year and this year is the back court missing open shots. When Howard was on the floor they missed open shots when they were off the floor they missed open shots. We need a wing, besides Dennis, that can get his own shot and knock down the open three at 40% plus clip. If we get that, the offense will be fine going forward.
  10. Give it to them. We have several other teams first round picks in the next few drafts. High risk high reward.
  11. Is Giles a good defender? I'm on the Patton band wagon. We need a center who can score inside and out, cab guard the pick and roll, and defend the perimeter and paint. I'm not sure if Patton is all that, but he does have the scoring ability the Hawks lack.
  12. I'd take that one year rental of PG13 as long as we keep Prince. If we can get him without giving up Prince, them I'm all for it. That one year rental will probably put this team at a minimum in the Eastern Conference finals. We see what Sap and Dennis can do in the playoffs offensively, if you add PG13, the Hawks will have enough scoring (as far as starters) to match up well with most teams in the east. There's other smaller trades the Hawks can make with all their trade exceptions too to fill out the rest of the roster. I'm not one for tanking, tanking still hasn't helped the 76ers, Braves, or whoever else you can name. The GS warriors were a dumpster fire for damn near 20 years until they hit draft goal. I'll pass on that mess.
  13. That's all you need to know if PG is going to be moved around the draft. I hope the Celtics don't come to their senses and use their draft picks for him. The thing is, even though the Hawks have back of the first round picks, they may be willing to give up the most for PG. The Lakers will probably wait on him to become a free agent. Paul Georgie to Altantie. Not sure if you guys, remember the Todd Gurley to Atlantley...lol
  14. I just realized it! Her voice is like Roseanne's.
  15. The sad thing is, she is not worse than the lady at the Toronto games who counts down every possession like the players can hear her behind. Seven, six, five,....I just want to throw something at her.
  16. Literally just saw this! Prayers to you and your family @JayBirdHawk!
  17. Yup. Opinions are like butt holes everyone has one and they stink. I guess you're going to ignore those 11 dimes he dropped yesterday. Again, everyone was standing around and during some of the breaks, you can see Dennis and Sap getting on to the other players for not moving. If you're going to be upset with a 23 year old point guard, who just went 5 -6 on three, dropped 29 pts 11 assists and ONE turnover. You're never going to be happy. I just don't get you people. The offense moved better with second unit? Well that second unit score all of 24 pts on terrible shooting because they were missing wide ass open shots. I guess you'll be happy if Dennis passed the ball to players who were missing left and right and the Hawks get blown out by 30. Then you'd say, Dennis is an idiot. Why didn't he drive to the basket and try to score more instead of passing it to people who were missing all game? He can never win in your book. I'm objective. When Dennis is bad, he deserves to be criticized. Last game was not that case. He literally played like a top point guard in the league. If you consider John Wall a top point guard in the league, Dennis actually outplayed him yesterday. Therefore, yesterday, Dennis did play like a top guard in the league. I'm done!
  18. If they stop pandering to the large markets and shunning the small markets which actually have more viewers, they wouldn't be crashing and burning. Sorry those people lost their jobs though. We shouldn't hate them, they were just doing what their bosses told them to dol
  19. He did move, but Gortat was holding his arm. If you were watching foxsports south, they showed it on the replay and bob pointed it outl

    He needs to go

    Very reactionary. It's his first playoffs with major minutes. He needs time to figure it out. He hit some big shots this game. Dennis has me feeling good about the Hawks future. When the stakes are high, he plays his best.

    He needs to go

    No one is paying Hardaway $16 - $20 million. He'll probably Get $9 - $12 million a year.
  22. To answer your original question apparently they have a 32% chance of winning the series now. Per the jackbutts over at PeachTree Whoops. I'm glad I found Hawksquawk, because those dudes have gone completely off the edge with their negativety. Win game 5 and that goes up significantly
  23. Now that there is only one day of rest between games, this may actually catch up to them. I don't think it'll show up until the fourth quarter of each game. Coach Bud has not played any starter more than 36 minutes per game which is great for the playoffs. Now if the Hawks were going against Cleveland, I'd say play Milsap and Schröder 40 minutes a game.
