CrawDaddy

Unadulterated hatred toward ATL fans.

The other issue is that Marvin was the 4-5th option or so this year when he was in the game with Joe, Crawford, Smoove, Horford, etc... Assuming Joe leaves, he automatically becomes the 2-3rd option. If he doesn't pick it up in that scenario, he's confirmed as a bust.

With all the speculation surrounding JJ signing with the Knicks, more and more talk has been about a possible S&T. Thought we'd get a topic rolling on the subject to see if anyone had any thoughts. I don't think it's possible with the Knicks, since they don't have anyone close of equal value (hell, they don't even really have anyone under contract, much like the Heat) . I've heard a Joe to Washington for Gilbert rumor, but I definitely don't see that happening. I've also seen some possible Joe to Chicago for Deng/filler talk, which makes more sense to me, although is still less than palatable for me since I think Deng's skill level is about the same as Chillz, albeit they fill different roles.

In response, I propose the following: Trade Bibby for Deron Williams Trade Marvin for Kobe Trade Smoove for Durant Trade Al for Dwight Trade Crawford for Lebron Starting 5 Williams Kobe Durant Lebron Dwight

YAY! WE LOST BY 40 AGAIN TONIGHT!!! WAY TO GO FELLOWS!!! CLAP CLAP CLAP Give me a break. When your team deserves to get booed, you should boo the hell out of them. I think this series clearly falls into that category. If as a player you don't want to get booed, show us some guts and effort. I don't mind losing, but lose competitively and show some heart.

Fixed this.

Sothron has it right. It ain't the players folks. We have no offensive system, other than the pick and roll, which we use sparingly. Otherwise, it's all ISO and jump shots from the guy that has the ball when the shot clock is running down. A middle school coach could have watched the Charlotte series and saw that Larry Brown told his guys to go to the hole no matter what. Forget it if Dwight blocks your shot. If he fouls you 40% of the time, he goes out of the game, and everything opens up. Instead we took a thousand jump shots last night when everyone is cold. No roster is perfect, but we have a pretty damn good one. Fire Woody. Hell, fire Woody and hire a middle school coach - we'll be in much better shape.

Amen. Nail on the head.

C'mon folks. He's terrible. Faced with any adversity, he sucks. No Joe, and it's over. We still have no offense, 5 years later. There's a reason he doesn't have an extension. Sund watches the games.

Fire woody. This is easily fixed. Get a coach who can adapt to the game. Woody hasn't a clue. For all of you that thinks he does, you just became a hawks fan in the last year or so. Our coach is a joke, our squad is actually good. Time to get someone to maximize talent.

Fire woody.

This thread is a joke right? Obviously you have never played or coached basketball before (and if you did, you sucked at it). When woody institutes some semblance of an offense, then we can revisit this ridiculous subject.

Yes, we shot badly. But woody continued to do what he always does when we play badly - he shortens the bench. In the second half, despite the fact that bibby, Joe, and craw couldn't hit anything, woody fails to play teague, and runs with the same crew that is ice cold virtually the whole second half. Woody continues to be a joke, and we will never truly be competitive until we have a real coach.

Clearly some of you guys just became Hawks fans. We haven't had an offense since Woody came to Atlanta. It's always ISO Joe, ISO Joe, and then maybe a Smoove lob play thrown in after a timeout. Bibby, while it has been insinuated in the past but never shown to be the actual case, runs our offense. With him, we at least have a semblance of movement, passing, and hence, easy baskets. Without him, what did you see? ISO Joe, ISO Crawford, ISO Joe... Woody is still a joke. I am very happy with our start this year, but Woody is still a below average coach.

I love 'Nique as a player. But I would rather stab myself in the eye with a pencil than listen to him on the telecast. He is brutal. Why oh why did we let Smitty go?

Ha. Awesome. Hadn't thought of that. Hawks v. Hawks Lite.

I hope this is a joke.

If Woody is still here next season I will be boycotting until he is canned. I understand losing to the Celtics, but his strategy (or lack thereof) and sub patterns continue to frustrate and baffle me. I really don't understand how Acie plays now, but isn't good enough to play during the regular season. Don't understand.

Quote: LOL you are really clueless if you think KG EVER plays with half hearted effort, especially in the playoffs. It's not as if KG had to really do anything tonight. Seriously, they know they're going to win all of these 4 games. There is no pressure to produce. These are warm up games to them. Like I said, Smoove can't even contain David Lee a likely career role player. Your argument is stupid here. KG is clinically insane and never gives half hearted effort. Smoove is the best help defender in the league, albeit an average man to man defender. We're all pissed about the game, but who pissed in your Cheerios this morning?

This feels like an exhibition game more than a playoff game. How many turnovers do we have?

Quote: Quote: its easy i dont see why woody havent gotten it yet. u put salim n for joe at the begining of the 2nd un til the 7:00(maybe earlier if it gets out of hand) and put acie in for bibby at the 3:00 of the first until the 8:00 of 2nd im a genious Stoudamire still has a very low basketball IQ and doesn't know when to shoot or pass. Law on the other hand has a relatively high BB IQ so I would just rotate him in and use childress in the back court when Joe is resting. Um...Salim knows that he should shoot all the time. There isn't enough time to pass. Nonetheless, I bet Woody plays a total of 7 players throughout our series with the Celts. Salim, Solo, Richardson, and others will never see the floor. Bibby and Joe will play 45 minutes a night. Write it down.

Joe. Easy answer. He came here with the promise of help, which he finally got in the form of Bibby. I am also happy for Smoove and Chillz. I could care less about Woodson - we got here in spite of his ineptitude. BK too for that matter. I agree that I am happy for DW. I am least happy for the owners. They suck major balls.

I'm betting he doesn't follow through. He promises to coach, but he doesn't. He promises a haircut...I bet he doesn't.

Quote: This guys is unreal..... http://www.ajc.com/blogs/content/shared-bl...t_at_losin.html I thought hometown writers are supposed to be "for" their teams? What exactly is wrong or inaccurate about the article? Dude, we have sucked for a decade now. Should he be writing a glowing article about a team that might not even make the playoffs? We have been rebuilding now for ten years - if this were New York or Philly, can you imagine the coverage from the media? This isn't bashing - this is the truth.

We might not make the playoffs because of Woody. That might actually be better for us in the long run.
