  1. Of course you shouldn't expect the same. THe Hawks aren't doubling ticket prices across the board that I know of. If the Hawks were putting an across the board 20% increase in ticket prices and lowering payroll then I'd think you would have reason to complain. But just because they have tickets that cost more than you would like to spend in my mind doesn't mean you should expect the team to pay the luxury tax.

    I'm perfectly willing to increase my investment in the team, if the team invests in itself. If they have to pay the luxury tax to compete, then that’s what they have to do. If you want to be frugal, don’t go into the entertainment business and don’t ask me to splurge on your product.

  2. drzachary- If you don't like worrying about financial considerations I suggest you start following leagues with no salary cap and just find the most popular team as they can afford to spend more than everyone else. I like it that the NBA makes it more difficult to just keep spending and spending to improve the team. If the NBA didn't have the luxury tax then I think the Hawks would have no chance at all to ever win a championship.

    I mean its not your money so you might as well wish for a 200 million dollar payroll and for the ASG to pay an extra 130 million of luxury tax money. I just don't see the point of it so I'll only criticize the owners if they are passing up something that makes a real difference for the chances of the team.

    Shortly after the team resigned Joe, I got an email from my season ticket rep., who wanted me to upgrade to floor seats directly behind the visiting team's bench. For me, that would be more than a 100% increase in my investment in the team. Should I not expect the same?

  3. Sevin the game comes on the next morning at 10:00 AM on NBATV for Direct TV. I just did a search for Atlanta Hawks on the direct tv search screen and I was able to schedule all 5 game to record on my DVR. The scheduled times in the article don't match up with Dircet TV's schedule. In general they come on the next day in the AM.

    Thanks, I'll search and set the DVR.

  4. I almost never post (as you can see from my reg. date & my post count) since I don’t have much time to argue with so many of you that I disagree with, but I do visit the site at least once daily. I’m in my forties and have lived in Atlanta since I was a small child. My first Hawks game was at GA Tech before they built the Omni but I didn’t become a serious fan until about 15 years ago. Never played basketball a day in my life but I did play both types of football in college. I’ve worked in the entertainment industry most of my life and had the pleasure of coaching for a living (not basketball) for a couple of years.

    I’m married with 2 kids, both college athletes and love watching them play. I love watching Futbol (that’s soccer to most of you), The Hawks and Falcons and don’t have any interest in baseball or hockey. Unlike many of you I don’t think BK has done that bad of a job, but I think Woody is a nightmare for most young players and would do better with a more experienced team. Love the site!

    It's easy to try to point a finger at Shelden, but the truth of the matter is Shelden only played a little more than 1/4 of the game. The true damage took place against Smoove. Fouled Smoove right out. It really says that Smoove is not a PF.


    WOW!!! You've got to be in either politics or PR. That is true talent.

    I caught far from everything, but some of the comments he was making about Shelden made it sound like Shelden would have to earn a starting job. I may have heard that wrong, though. Did anyone else hear what I was hearing? That was around 8:3something.


    He did say Sheldon would have to earn the spot but he also stated that they are hopeful that because of his maturity he's ready to assume the starting position.

    I also noticed that when he talked about depth, he mentioned everyone but Grundy and Edwards and I'm hoping that means Edwards will be going with Al. He also mentioned Solomon and said that he wouldn't have any pressure and would have time to develop. Does this mean NBDL for him?

    Were gonna be able to sign someone for more than one year.Ya'll should know this won't take affect because it's BULL.Don't get too worried about this one year stuff,actually don't be worried at all.


    help me out here man. why not?


    From listening to Bernie yesterday, he seemed to be pretty hopeful about both the NHL & NBA getting involved in this (I would assume from a legal standpoint), since both leagues were more than mildly upset.

  8. Has Batman played any at center? I thought he's been subbing at the 4. I went to the 1st game and he DNP and I've listened to pieces of each of the others and I thought that he'd only played 4.

    Same with Marvin. Has he played any 4? I thought only 3.

    I hope I'm wrong on both accounts.
