    Its an insult to Rodman and Sheed to compare them to Artest. Rodman never attacked fans, and he was a key component to a lot of championships. Sheed may have gotten T'ed up a lot but what teammates have anything bad to say about them.

    Artest is a great player but he has nothing to show for it.


    wasnt sheed the one who intentionally threw a ball the length of the court right at teammate ruben boumtje boumjte's (sp?)head?

  2. yea i saw it last night as well. great movie. The scene of them traveling to the island on the boat was wayyyy too long in my opinion. but peter jackson always makes long movies so i expected it. The stampede scene was probably my favorite.

    Shock,

    When Marvin has a 21 minute, 4 point, 2 reb game and he goes home and sees Chris Paul having a 18pt, 7reb, 7 asst, 4 steal game...

    Does he call you over to give him a back rub and to read him a story?...blah blah blah etc


    The difference between our posts is that mine demonstrates how absurd your argument about marvin having no hunger for the game is and calling you out on your trade scenarios that everyone laughs at. On the other hand, your post was a piss poor attempt to "one up" me on the comedy scale. nice try though.

    Look, i agree that we probably should have picked paul. He is NBA ready and a legitimate star in the making. But just because BK made a mistake, im not going to make marvin the scapegoat for this thing. Just because he isnt putting up paul-type numbers doesnt mean he should be mentioned in virtually all of your trades, or that you should give people are hard time when they come to marvins defense. Have your beef with BK and say he should be fired, prognosticate who the new gm will be, etc.

    and lastly, have fun in your 200's section by yourself, ill look back at you while im sitting 5 rows back from the court with my girlfriend.

    Barkley said (on frankly speaking) that all superstars have an edge about them. He said that Bird, Magic, Micheal, Himself, McHale were all the type of guys who would slit your throat to win (paraphrased; actually, Stephen said it and Barkley continued the conversation)...

    Point is that Marvin doesn't have it. I just don't see the competitiveness of a superstar in MW... He may have some tools, but the main thing is that drive and determination. Honestly, is Marvin HUNGRY? Has he ever been Hungry? NO. Right now, Marvin is where he wants to be and for us (fans of the Hawks) that's a tragedy!


    Hi, my name is Diesel. Im an f'n idiot because i claim to know the inner workings of marvin williams mind, body and soul. Basically i know these things about him because i have an uncanny knack for reading between the lines when he is quoted in print. I also have a super-duper 2000" plasma that helps me to understand and identify marvins facial expressions when he is on the court. On top of this, i post about 250 asanine trades daily. Ive been bitter that marvin doesnt shoot 100% from the field, record quadruple-doubles, and date eva longoria. Because i mean, damn, chris paul right now is better than oscar robertson was in his prime!

    Woody has been put in a bad situation to coach his first team. I don't know if he will be a good coach with the right personnel around him or not. When news of the inner sanctuary of the lockerroom become public, it's time to find someone new who can coach and keep team business; team business.


    I haven't heard of locker room problems. When did that come about?


    a few games into the season, marvin got very upset after a game when he drew some heated criticism from woody inside the locker room. I think alot of people thought it was smoove, but actually it was marvin.

  6. well guys, ive been in san antonio the past few days on a business trip and got to see the spurs in action against the miami heat. I showed up at the sbc center near the end of the 1st quarter and was able to scalp a ticket for 10 dollars about 25 rows back from the heat bench. First of all, i realize that the spurs are the only professional team in san antonio and that they are the defending champions playing against a shaq-less heat team. but the place was sold out! and it was a playoff atmosphere on every possesion. the buliding was electric and it was something im not accustomed to being to so many hawks games. it really opened up my eyes to everything the hawks are not. watching the spurs and heat play, it really opened my eyes that the hawks are NOT a team. both teams ran plays on EVERY possesion. Generally, there were at least 3 to 4 passes every trip down the floor. Now i know that we are the youngest team in the league and that it takes time for chemistry to come together, but we can only lean on that crutch for so long. Obviously our team has NO game plan and no identity. To me, this reflects on the coach. Ive been behind woody since day one, but watching these two teams proved to me that i was wrong. Guys, woody just isnt the guy for this team. Its not that he isnt a good coach, its that hes a rookie coach who has been thrown into a situation that could possibly be the worst situation for him. Granted, BK could have made better picks and trades since he has been here, but this teamisnt as bad as our record shows. I truly believe a more experienced coach could get a whole lot more out of this team. I understand that management doesnt want to give up on woody or the season, but the longer we wait for a light at the end of the tunnel, the more it may hurt our players in the long run. Im not a gm, im just a fan, so i honestly dont know what is best for this team, but i definately have an opinion, and i think this team needs a new coach.

    but hey......it's his time.


    But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket.

    simply put: Brilliant

    Thanks nick for the highlight of my online reading for the day!

  8. What i like most about Marv is how fast he makes a decision to do something with the basketball after he catches it. He already has a plan of what to do with the basketball and where the defense is. Hes a smart, quiet kid.

  9. Ive heard alot of people call him "big john", but can we please give this guy a funny nickname? He just has this hilarious "man...i just woke up" catatonic, droopy expression 24/7. He always seems like he has "bed hair" (drobjnak suffered from this on occasion) and just looks sloppy in general. Ok squawkers, lets hear some nicknames...

  10. Salim is by far my favorite Hawk. His game and my game are almost identical. In high school i was an undersized sg with a very quick release and high 3pt%. We also have similar attitudes on the court. These past 12 games ive been sort of living vicariously through him, kind of like those crazy parents at their kid's t-ball game. lol

    another guy id love to have is udonis haslem. who would ever have thought he'd be a stud? with walker getting so many minutes, when shaq gets back i wonder if haslem could be pried away...


    I think Haslem has his numbers because of Shaq. If he was paired with Jason Collins i dont think he would be any better than he was with atlanta in summer leagues. Shaq was getting tripled teamed and it was leaving haslem with alot of open looks under the basket.
