Not to sound like I don't know anything about the Hawks. I just want to know who are the players that are still contracted hawks and how will the expansion draft affect us. I know we have JT, Alan Henderson, Chris Crawford and I want to say Boris Diaw. Just trying to stay abressed as to what is going on. By the way will the expansion draft before the regular draft or will it all happen at the same time.

So am I to understand that the biggest reason that we did not resign DJ is because we did not have a spot for him. I find that hard to believer.

Yeah I am kinda partial to DJ also. I did like his style of play and I am glad to see he has a second chance even if he does not stay long. Maybe he will manage his money better and by a maxima instead of a benz.

I guess no one is chatting tonight?

I don't think it said he asked to be waived. It says he agrees. If you were given an ultimatum I think you would agree to the choice that affects you least negatively.

How do you watch the Hawks games. I am up in Knoxville Tenn. for a few weeks and I have seen one hawks game. Do we get the Turner south games the upn games or fox games. Let me know because before I moved up here I did not miss a hawks game.

I guess we need to resign him to another multi year multi million dollar deal huh. Just like the last time he played well.

Mike Stinger Glen for Sir Charles Or Kenny Smith. Maybe the games would be a little more exciting. Even better Steve Holman. They just don't make me feel good about the Hawks. I am not sure what it is. They have the information but not the excitement.

I thought the biggest reason they were putting a team back in NC is because of the fan base thats already there. Will it really be that hard to get fans out in NC? This is not Atlanta we are talking about here.

How does the expantion draft work. How does each team choose who they leave unpretected. Is there a rule as to who you can leave unpretected. Can a team leave thier worse player unpreteded and keep all of thier good players protected.

I might just spend money to go to this game.

There used to be a time that when you recieved a good old fasion a__ whippin you were so embarrasad that the next time you had a chance whomever the victome was you made them pay for it. Where did those days go. Its like getting raped then deciding to do [censored] movies so everyone can see it. Do we even have any shame. Do we even know what it means or feels like to hold our heads up. Are we so used to looking down that a slight tilt fwd feels like up. I will continue to remind you guys to keep your standards up high. We started this mess 6 years ago because we were tired of the second round. I refuse to settle for a playoff spot simply because we have not had it in a while. I say beware of the okeydoke.

Well first you would have to make sure that no one has free tickets. Then you would have to make sure that no superstar comes to atlanta I.E Shaq, kobe, labron ect. You would also have to refund all the season pass holders. Thats just the "Hawks fans". Now you would have to ask the other 80% of the game goers not to support thier teams I.E the knick fans the philly fans and so on. I think you have a pretty big battle to fight on that one.

Am an awful fan for hoping for a blow out. I mean after that 7 points I was hoping we only made like 30. I guess I wanted something to wake somebody up and do something. I was hoping we break some record besides having a player that gets his shoots blocked more than anyone in the nba. I guess someone had to hold that title but why us?

If we could trade Mr. Stotts (Title intentionally omitted) do you think we could get any offers? Do you think he would take his job more seriously? Do you think we would get any offers? I guess what I am trying to get at is; Does Stotts make the decisions he does because of lack of talent or lack of concern. If he is sure that the owners believe the players are the problem and his job is secure then he can pretty much do as he pleases. I could go on and on but it’s just a thought.

Either Dickau is not a good player or Stotts is not a good coach. Yes I know we question Stotts abilities however you would have to be a special kind of dumb to have much needed skills sitting on the side line when you are loosing 80% of your games. To top it all off you would be sitting on someone that plays the position that you are weakest in. You would also have to question your 3 Captians. This would cross out the purpose of a captain if you can't come to a coach and say hay this guy is good we could use him more often. I would have to say with all these people watching Dickau, he must not be showing anything good. From this side of the fence I say we keep him where he is. Even though I don't think we could do much worse with him on the floor.

Do you think we would loose what 70 % of our games, oops I'm sorry we are already doing that.

Tru we understand your pain. In the past Reef has made bad decisions. It is easy to carry a negative past with you. It is hard to see when someone has improved when we are still loosing. And if you are like me I don't pay much attention to stats. I watch ever game. I know that his contribution does not seem to help however you must know that all teams do their homework. They watch tapes. They know if we make Reef look bad then the team looks bad. They focus on Reef. It makes him look bad because he is so easy to pick on. Not to say anything bad about the supporting cast it is just everyone knows that reef is the nucleolus and if we stop him we stop the hawks.

We now have the worst Record in the NBA.

Guys listen to yourselves. We are complaining about the same things we were complaining about last year, and the year before that and yet the year before that. What’s the deal? Did we make the same mistakes or is it we don't know what we are talking about. We have fired two head coaches yet we are complaining about the head coach again. We have traded many point guards however we are complaining about this one. I know you get my point but what can we do about this. We have two choices we can show up and support the team or we can give up and show them that we are not going to support this anymore. I remember someone talking about a boycott. Might not be a bad Ideal if we could get the whole city to do it. You would have to understand the season ticket holders. I know if I had already paid for my tickets I would go. But if they were the only ones there and they were not supporting concessions I think we could get someone’s attention.

I don' t know what I want anymore. Since we have been loosing (below .500) We have fired two coaches and a President, We have traded every player but "Can du", We have promised you greatness, We brought in bad boy superstars to show you that we are willing to try anything. We have tried everything but filling the stands. I wonder what would happen if the hawks played a sell out arena night after night. Not just any sell out crowd but one that would actually cheer for the home team. What would happen if the new owners lowered the prices so that the less interested and or the less fortunate would be able to join us in a night of fun? I know I would go to more games if the prices were lower.

What are they trying to accomplish by playing BD? Are they saying we need to play him to win? That we need him so bad that we will risk his injury to play him so that we can do what? We are still loosing. So why not just let him rest and get right? Maybe we could use him the second half of the season. Lets play 500 ball for the second half so that Stotts cans save his job and we have the same problem next year. Ok I am rambaling I am upset. You get the point though I am sure.

It is getting Pretty hard to be loyal. The only good thing is now the 3rd qtr is the good qtr when it used to be the worst.

Yes CHORO I am waiting for that moment. I might just burst out in tears.

The players are not pointing fingers at each other. I don't mind player aginst coach so much as player aginst player. As long as the players are not pointing at each other we have a chance at playing as a team.
