  2. Every time I turn around the Hawks are breaking some franchise record. I am not sure how many we have broken this year. I just wanted to know if we have broken the record for most broken records.
  3. Actually I had a similar experience albeit a more positive outcome. I must say I don't fit the Desired demographic = young 30's white guy, family with kids, not afraid to go downtown, good job with disposable income, etc. I am a black male 43 family with kids I take my sons to the game for father son time I have a good job with disposable income. I am not sure if I am too old or being black excludes me from the desired demographic. My brother also fitting the a for mentioned description shared this experience with me. My brother and I purchased full season tickets. I also purchased a half season package for the same season for two seats in a different section. The reason why was because my brother and I would not attend every game together, when I let him use my seat I would use my half season seats to go to the game with my son or my wife. Now to my experience. I too was made many promises like I would be given extra tickets when I wanted to bring my son to the game with my brother. Or if we both wanted to bring a date we would be given extra tickets maybe not in our seats but the tickets would come at no extra price. Of course these were handshake deals part of his sales pitch. I was told that if I did not use my tickets I could use them for another game. I was told that I could choose my games on my half season tickets. No comes the time to cash in on my promises, my handshake deals. When I ask for tickets to bring my son and wife to the game I get a memory loss as should be expected on a handshake deal. Each time I tried to cash in on my promises I had to renegotiate the terms and the results were less than standard I was promised. When it came to extra tickets it would be to the least popular game meaning I could not choose which game. No I knew it would not be a Miami or Laker game but at least let me choose the day. when it came to my half season tickets I found out that my choosing games came as a coin toss or a take turn pick for lake of a better description with another purchaser. Meaning to pick my games I had to take a turn then he took a turn then I until all of the games were gone. luckily the other guy was not prepared and I got all the games I wanted except for one. Mainly because I only had one criteria, and that was to have weekend games as apposed to him trying to pick popular games. I just did not like the promise of picking my games as if it was just that. Tell me up front that I have to pick with someone else. Like I said all of my promises were met I just did not want to pull teeth to get it done. Atop of that he asked me for other favors in exchange for originally promised favors. in summation I think I will adopt the idea pre-purchasing my seats at the beginning of the season. The only benefit I really saw from the season tickets was having tickets for the preseason and playoff games. That was 3 seasons ago and I have not been incited from the barrage of calls to purchase season tickets again. I just go to the games that fit my schedule. Since I am a Hawks fan it does not really matter who the opponent is anyway.
  4. He went to SA got hurt then to the D league. That was it. I had hope for him. I guess I have just been hoping for one, any one of our draft pic's to turn into something for us. I was such a Huge Josh fan (both smoove and Chills) because of that. I was even a Marvin fan for a short while.
  5. yeah it has been a while since I posted. I am on here almost everyday. I am usually at work so I don't log in unless I want to post. That is a Salim Stoudamire jearsy. I guess I need to take a pic in an Al horford Jearsy. He seems to be the only one to stick around. Non of the other jearsy's that I own are relevent anymore. Accept for, of course #21.
  6. I just don't wanna deal with any more Speedy errummm Craig claxtons.
  7. JT for me. I heard that there was confusion with the coach giving direction and some players demanding the ball. I think with JT having one director and one directive he would be much more effective, confident, agressive and willing to do more. I have loved watching him grow and I believe that we have not seen all there is to see yet.
  8. Yeah first Hendu was my dude. Then he singed that contract and was never the same to me.
  9. I am going to have to agree with Salim with honorable mentions of Al Henderson, Chris Crawford and Ken "coach can I at least sit on the bench?"Norman
  10. I became a season ticket holder for the first time this season thinking that a repeat of last year would be the worst that we would do. You are asking me if I would be happy with what I consider the worst that we could do...... I have to give a strong no. Anything other than superseding last years performance would be considered sub-par by me and a disappointment in becoming a season ticket holder.
  11. Oh yeah I forgot about that. I was at the game so it was kinda hard to tell what happened. But it looked to me like boozer tried to stomp AL. Then Al kicked him. What happened on that play?
  12. This makes to most sense to me yet AHF As PO'd as Woody had me most of the season. I don't think we really saw woody's potential. It is hard to coach when people don't listen to you. Yes that is his fault too. I just think he made a bad choice in befriending the players, it came back to haunt him in the end. It kept him from making the right decisions when it came to sitting JS down and putting an elbow in his neck for doing stupid stuff. It kept him from taking people out of the game when they needed to be taken out. It seemed to be no repercussions for wrong doings by the players. I think if he had the respect of the players and himself he would have been able to make better decisions. He then would have had the opportunity to become a better coach.
  13. I'm in 118 row K. Been to 20 games plus game 2,5 and now 7 of the series.
  14. I would not mind if you brought the background players and logo out just a little. It is a little difficult to see. Otherwise I like it.
  15. I guess that's why we don't get out in the open court and run. MW is trying to keep the 7 men that he plays from being tired. I wonder if he knows that if you mix in your other players you could rest your 7 men from time to time. I mean whats wrong with putting Law in with 4 starters. It would not hurt us that bad and it would give someone some much needed rest.
  16. I am not a Facebook or Myspace Junkie so I may be a little confused about the terminology But here goes my suggestion. I noticed two things on Facebook. One there are a lot of Hawks fans out there looking for places to talk about the hawks. How many of them are failure with Hawksquawk I don't know. To there are always things to become fans of. I.e The hawks, Atlanta. Which both have an abundant amount of fans. I was wondering if it is a way to make Hawksquawk something to become a fan of on Facebook and/or Myspace. So that when I join all of my friends and friends of friends that are hawks fans will see this and join. Just another way to promote Hawksquawk. Especially this summer. After this series there will be a lot of new people trying to find ways to talk about the Hawks and jump on the bandwagon. Just let me know so I can link it to my Facebook some kind of way.
  17. My question is this. Will he qualify for the Playoffs or Offs as he puts it on tweeter. And will his salary only matter for the two games + the Offs. If so I think we can afford his salary for 15 games. Yes I know wishful thinking on the 15 games but hey we can all wish.
  18. Now that's what I am waiting for. It amazes me that we are not having sell out games so late in the season. A guaranteed playoff spot. High potential for home court advantage yet when I go to the games I can move down to the empty seats below me during 3rd qrtr. Whats the deal.
  19. I have 4 tickets to the Orlando game sec 308/L/9-12. I am willing to take any offer worth my time to take them downtown to will call. Even the barter system. Just PM me with an offer.
  20. I did not know that. I will do that from this point fwd. By the way how does it help when we click the link?
  21. I am sure you know this is not a fair statement right? I mean if I go out on the court right now and make 10 for 10 would that make me better than all of the NBA players? Lets give the man credit for something. He runs the floor, Hard. He gets beat up in the lane ( they are not fouling him on Jump shots). He is probably tired buy the time he gets to the line. Outside of him taking his 20 sec I am sure it is pretty hard to calm down and focus at the line. Probably in practice he can hit "7/10" Bit translates in a game a little different.
  22. I am just glad that woody will have to learn to use other players. This is the reason you play your other players during the season. So that they will be ready to step up for games like this. But since they have a lot of DNP's it makes you worry about games like this.
