That is an uncanny resemblance. Funny as can be. I laughed my head off. Thanks for digging that up. Made my day.

You just made my point. While YOU would only trade Al for Gordon straight up, Chicago definately will not. That is why I suggested the trade as being Al/Salim/Delk for Gordon/Piatkowski/Sweetney. This trade might actually have a chance to happen. Trades usually only occur if both teams initially feel that they might be giving up too much.

It is definately going to take more than just Al to get Gordon. And to get salaries to match up, it would probably end up being something like Al/Salim/Delk (or Edwards) for Gordon/Piatkowski/Sweetney. Someone needs to check the salaries for me, but something like this is the only way that we will get Gordon. You call me insane; that is funny. Go to a Bulls board and see if offering anything less doesn't get you laughed off the board.

I like Salim, although he is a chucker. But it sure would be nice if we could trade him with Al and maybe even Delk to Chicago for Ben Gordon and filler. I really think Gordon would be the perfect back court mate for JJ.

Posted this in the other Chill vs. Iggy thread but it got locked. I think it is relevent so I will post it again. Here it is: ____________________________________________________________ "I think something that has not yet been mentioned is a comparison of the leadership qualities of these two players. Just looking at stats, these players are very similar. I know some have said that Iggy looks much better in person, but even so, these guys are not that much different. I think back to the quotes I have read recently on this board, particularly the one by Esteban Batista about how Chill is such a good guy. Chill is a leader on this team. I think he will be a team captain next year. With Iggy, I am not sure what his leadership qualities are. I will admit that just looking at these guys on the court, Iggy might be slightly better. But overall, I will take Chill all day long because he brings the intangibles to this team. We need a leader and I think we have drafted one.

This is a very good post/article and I enjoyed reading it. Although Paul has played great, and I sometimes almost get sick to my stomach thinking about passing up on him, I think that Marvin will end this debate soon (i.e. by the middle of next season, provided we trade Al at the deadline this season). When (hopefully) we trade Al, I do believe that Marvin will start to become our #2 option on the offensive end. It will take some getting used to, but with a little time (by the middle of next season), I have a feeling that some on this board (and many of the haters around the country) will have no choice but to admit that he is going to be a star. Hey, I could be wrong on this, but I am a hopelessly optomistic Hawks fan that sees a player who he honestly believes will break out sooner rather than later. PS--for the people that think I just want to trade Al for food items, please understand that I think we need to get soemthing in return. Even so, I think that trading Al is pivotal for our young player's development regardless of what we get back in the trade (unless it is another tweener forward).

Ivey might not play great (maybe not even good) all of the time, but he definately deserves more minutes than he is getting. The offense seems to flow better with Ivey in the game. And the defense is MUCH improved when Ivey is playing. The starters seem more comfortable with Ivey in my opinion. I like Lue okay, but it really bothers me watching him run the same pick and roll play (often multiple times) on almost every possession. And then I have to watch his man go past him on almost every possession. It gets old. He is a good backup when he is scoring points, but I do not think he deserves that many more minutes than Ivey. Give Ivey the credit he is due. He definately deserves ~20 minutes a game. And I, for one, would like to see how he handles finishing out the game. The end of game lineup I would prefer would be: Ivey Johnson Childress Smith Marvin/Zaza Anyways, just my two cents.

I saw it about a month ago with my girlfriend. We both rated about a 6.5 out of 10. A lot of ethical questions were raised by this movie for sure (I almost thought I was still in class the way we critiqued this movie after watching). As for the entertainment aspect, I thought that the story line was interesting. Also, the action and twist near the end were good. Anyways, thats my take. I do need to plug "Narnia" too, I thought it was an excellent movie. 9.5 out of 10.

I was very excited about Lue's play tonight. He completed molested the Cleveland point guards. No one could contain him tonight. That was great. The whole team played great, too. I am sure that most (if not all) of this has already been said, but I have not had the chance to read. Mostly, I just wanted to let Exodus know that I was proud of his boy. Hopefully Lue, and the Hawks, will continue this great play. Oh yeah, Childress has been playing great too. Go Hawks.

Exodus, I hope you know I am just giving you a rough time.

I am beginning to believe that exodus might really be Ty Lue. This is so sad. Mainly because I have to keep reading threads that constantly defend Lue even though he is not that good. And also because Lue has to come to Hawksquawk to defend himself against fans. So sad. PS -- please end this madness.........and have a corndog. Oh, I am sorry, that is Dr. Zachary. My bad.

You guys were very close to me then (just a few rows back), as I was sitting in Sec 122 Row P Seats 9-12. From left to right was my girlfriend (20yr old beautiful redhead with a red Hawks fleece), myself (21yr old white dude with red Hawks T-shirt), BeeSwatter (30 yr old dude who was wearing a Joe Johnson jersey), and another friend in a hooded sweatshirt. My girlfriend and I were both cheering and making use of the Thundersticks for most of the game. Sorry I missed everyone, but we kind of got caught up in the experience and I ended up not having a chance to look for everyone. It was a great experience and we all had a lot of fun. Thanks Mr. Levenson, we all appreciated the opportunity.

1. NO intensity 2. NO desire 3. NO plan

Maybe we can get lucky and have one of the Hawk's scouts find you like we did Bat-man. We really could use a coach that seems to actually have a plan. Seriously, though, I like the idea and hope that eventually someone will smack Woody in the back of the head (figuratively, of course....no need for any violence) and he will start coaching with some sense. And again, excited about November 10. I am pumped up!!! Getting ready for this game makes me want to get out my old "Jock Jams" CD. "Pump up the jam, while your feet are thumpin'......etc, etc."--Jock Jams Oh yeah!!!! Hope you all are ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I worked at a Long John Silvers/A & W for over two years, but we never had corndogs (although we have not had those because of being a "dual" restaurant. I do know the onion rings are really good, though. Tough start to the season, but come November 10, we are gonna be krunk. I am preparing for a win. Check out my signature, we all need to go with this mindset. We need to be pumped. Okay I am finished being excited, now back to studying.

I think that this is a good point. Having a couple of "regular" guys, in my opinion, makes a complete team and helps to keep everyone in the right mindset. Unfortunately, Jason Collier seemed to be that player for the Hawks. I hope you are right that Bat-man is one of those "regular" guys. Oh, and by the way, I am really excited about November 10. Season starts tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in a good mood this morning, so I will hop on the bandwagon. That would be great it we could start off good for a change. I am just glad that we finally get to watch the team on TV. Win or lose, I will still be happy (but it sure would be fun to rub it in to everyone who laughs at me for being a Hawks fan, HAHAHA!!!)

What about San Antonio? Coach Woodson made the comment just a few days ago when he was talking about trying to win in the preseason that SA had a second team that could start for about any team in the league (I paraphrased this of course, but the article is in the AJC). Just my two cents. Oh!! I am very excited about the Clippers game, by the way. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Sec 122 Row P Seats 9-12

Does anyone have any insight about what is actually going on with "Lost"? I like the plot, but I am not sure if I am actually getting everything that I should be getting so far. Also, it seemed like the commercials were not as bad this week........or it could have been that I just did not notice because I was studying while watching the show.

You are right, they were kind of annoying. There was just something about those two together that made watching the games more fun. It is like someone you know that always does/says something goofy that makes you want to slap them in the back of the head. After being around them for awhile, though, they just grow on you and if there not there you miss them.

Rathbun and the Stinger were the best combo of them all. It would be great if we could get them together again.

I have actually watched multiple episodes of "Over There". I usually only watch if I am not tired around midnight, so I don't think I have seen every episode. It is a good show. There is something about the story that keeps me watching; it is kind of weird when I think about. Oh well, time to stop thinking and get back to studying.

Yep. I am also a big fan of the show. The only problem that I have is all the commercials. I am actually considering taping the show from 9-10 and watching it from 10-10:15 (after fastforwarding through the commercials, of course).
