Coach Pierce was on the radio yesterday and he made some mention about Bazemore and Timmy having beef but that he didn't know what it was about since he wasn't here then. He said that Bazemore told him that it was personal between he and Timmy Jr. Did you all ever hear of anything between those two? I do believe that if Bud hadn't given Bazemore that ridiculous contract we could have kept Timmy Jr. The way Timmy has been lighting Bazemore up--the beef is one sided.

It was Jeremy Lin because they also talked about the asian american event he had after the Hawks game on Saturday.

Did anyone catch the comment that Nique made about Lin. He said that it was always a dream of Lin's to come over to America and play in the NBA and that he was a good international player. Jeez, Lin is an american who was born in California. WTF was Nique talking about??

Why is that we never see Len or Dedmon at the 4 spot with Plumlee as the C. Seems that would be an effective lineup especially since Dedmon/Len can shoot the 3 ball. I hate seeing Dedmon out there shooting threes when he is the only big man on the floor. A miss nearly always guarantees the other team gets the rebound. Same with Len. Plumlee is no push over on defense.

Seeing how the league is right now where everyone us launching 3's--I remember how we used to scream "no" whenever Josh launched one up. Now look at our players Spellman, Len, Collins, Poythrees, Dedmon, along with guys like Randle, KAT, Porzingas, Blake Griffin, Draymond, Paul Milsap, etc. The 3 for the the PF is common place and is encouraged. The Atlanta Hawks version of Josh Smith probably would demand a near max contract today. I don't know what happened when he left us but was he ahead of his time? I remember telling my wife that if Josh Smith hits that 1st 3 pointer you will not be able to tell him shit!!!

Maybe we can get involved with Kent Bazemore before he comes back to earth.

Huerter appears to be the kind of player who will do whatever the team needs him to do to win. I like that. He is no slouch on defense and will rebound, bring the ball up etc. he is the kind of player you need to win championships. Who would have ever thought that he would be in the game at crunch time? Just think about the fact that he hasn't really had a scoring outburst yet but is showing other dimensions to his game. He has earned his minutes and is very skilled.

I rewatched the preseason games and the 2 regular season games yesterday and it appears to me that we are not running any type of recognizable offense. It appears that we are playing street ball out there on offense. has anyone else noticed that or is it me? Pierce only seems to speak about defense. I noticed this in the summer league but I chalked it up to being summer league. We may not have any structured offense on this team.

It's not like we are trotting all rookies out there. We have players who need the minutes, You can only get experience by getting experience. In my opinion, Spellman or Poythress should be starting until JC comes back. It serves no purpose to have Carter out there chucking up shots when someone else could use those minutes. Are we that devoid of talent where a 42-year old is in our starting lineup. Unless we are tanking or something, there is no reason for carter to be starting or playing significant minutes.

I came to this post looking for help with my problems in the bedroom not to discuss the Hawks!!!! I must have misread the title!!!

They are getting the tank off to a proper start.

In this soft azz league there is no way anyone gets 2 legit goons on one team. No way.

i was watching the game last night and between watching Spellman and Poythress I started wondering when was the last time we had a legitimate goon on our squad. Was it Zaza? Man are we lucky enough to maybe have 2 this year?

"Right now" and "Which may never improve"---sounds nothing like won't ever improve. get some where dude!!!

You guys are over exaggerating my original post. I only said that he reminded me of White Chocolate that way he plays now. I never once said that he would not improve or that his shot would not improve. I never said that. I stand by what I said. You guys are too sensitive about this. Whether you liked the pick or not he is a Hawk now and we should all want him to succeed. I was not a fan of the pick until I realized he was a pure point guard and not just a scorer/chucker. I want him to succeed. I tell you this he has too especially if Doncic blows up. It the trade involved any other team other than the Hawks it would not be a big deal to the media---but you know how the media likes to kick us around.

Right now with his poor shooting which may never improve the NBA player that he resembles the most is White Chocolate Jason Williams. He could not shoot for crap, had suspect defense but possessed good court vision. This is a the type of player he is today. I don't know if he will ever be as efficient as Steve Nash or as good as shooter as Curry, but as of right now he is the black white chocolate or would he be the half black white chocolate or the half white white chocolate?

Maybe it's me or does he appear to be out of shape? He looks like he has put on some weight since SL. His arms are not as defined either. He looked pudgy. He was sweating like a hog after just a few minutes in the game.

I know it's early but after listening to Coach talk about Bembry and to see how he played............is it possible that he can make Bazemore expendable?

is the book already written on him or could we make him better? He put up 8 and 8 last year and just turned 25. i don't see Dedmon ending the season with us honestly.

I mean we forget how awful the East is and just because Lebron isn't here that doesn't mean the East still doesn't suck. I look for Cleveland to still make the playoff possibly 4-5 seed. Don't be suprised if we sneak in. I am calling it now. We are not the garbage that the media makes us out to be.

this is what you have to be careful of. They had a good young nucleus with KAT/Wiggins and here comes Butler wanting to be the man and he was. There is resentment between KAT/Wiggins and Butler.

I have had it since Friday. Anyone who purchased the Anniversary Edition was able to pick it up Thursday.

They are solid.

He must be your cousin or something. What position will be play in the nba? I can name a lot of players that can dunk but could not do anything else. Don't let the fact that he is going to Duke fool you. I can also name a lot of players that looked like future allstars at Duke who sucked once they got to the NBA. Stay away from the kid---other than being athletic he offers nothing to help a team.

Man this guy is a bust waiting to happen. I solidly stand behind that claim. Anyone can produce when the entire offense is designed for them to shoot as many times as they want to. Having said that Ressler will probably want him drafted for ticket sells.
