I"m guessing coaches have been tracking it some but its a major chore to track it on 80 to 100 hoops a game vs. 2-8 for hockey.

That was totally a travel.

Didn't know Millsap was out. That will make it tough. Ayón should be able to get some put backs i hope. Can't wait for this game. Kudos on the thread and the hilarious opening line.

What in the hell? Is he not married, have an entrourage, a neighbor, a tailor? Who let him out like this. What is this Dorf on basketball?

Ayón: Your left pit does stink but wait till you smell your right hand.

I was really impressed with him. Granted its just one game but he has some skills. So far I just can't believe that Cartier and Ayón just fell in our laps.

I think the deal was we gave him good money on a short deal. He saw that if things go well its a good place to play, if not he isn't stuck laboring for the jazz for 4 years again.

The east sucks will be the excuse.

btw. i was just joking around jaybird since you know more about sports than most of the guys i know. Sarcasm: fail on my part....again.

Damn man. I guess we're saving for that new stadium, lol. That's pretty good money for his age. Still would have been nice since we don't seem to have anyone else who is a big game pitcher. Maybe we're bringing back Freddy Garcia.

That may be and i may just be a curmudgeon i'll admit that. But we have had a super bowl although its been a while. Having the baseball team move out of town will be a bad thing for Atlanta though. I think it will also be bad for the Braves as they chose a ridiculous location. I've also seen more interest in the Braves from young fans intown the last two years than i have, well ever. I know they're maps say that's not important but i think they are very wrong.

This is what i expected from Cheeks. I'm guessing he allowed Josh to go crazy so he could show him the err of his ways.

Just a girl, little 'ol you. I can't say i've seen much crazier than that on a game winning play. Truly a miracle play.

Every Heat game is on national tv and they do lose a few. Early in the season i think things are more level but we'll see. Horford, Milsap, and even Ayón should be able to have big games but guarding Lebron and Wade will be a big problem. Hope Cartier and DMC are ready.

Despite the Falcons posturing all those things would still come to the GA Dome. I love the Falcons but i'm not a big fan of the new stadium and the Braves will be complaining and begging for transportation solutions about a year after they move in. And the state will probably help them now that they aren't in Atlanta.

i guess i didn't back up far enough in this thread but i've thought Dennis has looked real good for the most part. NBA players are damn good. He's not an idiot. He knows he has to learn a lot and get used to the speed and size and skills of his opponents. While i think it was ridiculous that folks thought he'd be better than Teague right out of the gate I do think he's shown to be a better nba PG than acie, salim, and even jordan crawford. I'm seeing little chance Ferry trades him and he should be a solid contributor before the year is over. Mack looked great against the Knicks but let's face it the Knicks weren't trying to defend very hard.

To me this is exactly why Woody is such a bad playoff coach. Bud went to the tape and said hey here is how you exploit these guys and here is how you shut them down. Woody just does the same thing game after game regardless of what the competition is doing. In his defense, could you stock a team with more head cases and one dimensional players.

Man that would be the best. To get a lottery pick without actually being in the lottery. We need to pull hard for the Nets to tank. Unfortunately there is going to be too much tanking competition in the East. The nets have too much talent to be THAT bad.

I saw Greg Maddux against Curt Schilling in a game that lasted i think an hour and 50 minutes. Braves lost 1-0 and Schilling had 17 strikeouts i think. It was a terrible horrible game for a braves fan but still a hall of fame matchup that you don't see very often. I was at Chipper Jones bobble head night last year which was friggin an awesome game for the braves and chipper.

What's the big deal about Asik. As i've seen other's say this is a guy who has been an nba starter for a whole one year and now is a malcontent because the team added a player at his position who is 10 times better than him. Doesn't sound like a guy i want to trade a bunch of assets for. Especially when he doesn't bring our most serious need which is a scorer.

Are the Falcons still playing? Can we have a do over on which Atlanta team we give our tax dollars to. I prefer the playoff one that plays 10 times more games.

There was a lot of summer and pre-season discussion on this board about Dennis already being better than Teague. Geez. That's not looking so good is it? Every player has some weaknesses. Teague is ballin. He's scoring different ways. He's hitting his guys with good passes. Just because he's not throwing behind the back or high traffic bounce passes doesn't mean he isn't a good distributor.

The game is on sportssouth as normal according to hawks.com. (in addition to nba.tv)

You know that was my first reaction until I saw that he's been out 10 months. That seems about right. Rose has made everyone's recovery expectation get out of whack i think. Still I hope he's comfortable because it he's guarding it that's when you get hamstring and other injuries right?

You mean you think they will try to make the playoffs? I wouldn't put it past Charlotte to try. Philly i think is smarter than that and i just don't see where the Bucks have anything other than a good coach. I've been wrong plenty. Although never about the Wiz. Every year people predict the Wiz will be good and I say they will suck. They've made me look smart on that so far.
