I'm fine with Hinrich starting. Just saying he'll also slide to #2 sometimes.

Hinrich is backup 2. Smoove plays a lot at SF. I think we need rebounding and outside shooting.

Actually I agree, as long as he's not going to be a bad influence on the team with his possible history of drugs. I just couldn't resist the opportunity to be facetious.

Why wouldn't you get this guy? He shoots 100%! Seriously, these video clips that only show made shots and great plays are fun to watch but too misleading. I remember after watching Josh Powell's last year I thought he looked pretty good. Glad this guy has an MVP at least!

Diesel, I think this is our new owner!

Agreed - it's not socialistic. Socialistic would mean everybody on the team gets the same salary regardless of performance. I think some objections are: somewhat discourages team play ("I want to be the #1 player" mentality, or # 2, etc) peer rating could be seen as unfair (rate your friends the highest). I would combine a peer rating with a mgt rating with a media rating (33% each). Also Lebron would make the same as Joe - wait, we already have something more extreme than that! Overall, great thinking but I think it's too radical for both sides to approve - especially the players.

I'm glad Shaq retired. Could you imagine? How much did Salley weigh coming out of GT?

Comment on ESPN says he is up to 230 pounds! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you mean positively or negatively?

That's a good one! No way that happens (or if it does he' s shooting 40 shots a game).

But Jamal doesn't ...

Great reply, campster. Thanks!

Congratulations, Hawks! Sounds like you guys came out and were really playing ball. Great game! What happened during the comeback? Who was playing for the Hawks when the Nets made their run? Not much output for Teague. Hollinger says he is playing scared again (thanks to Drew).

Did Drew not play Teaugue last night because he felt Teague made him look bad? Was he upset that Teague hogged the ball a little, even though he tells him to be aggressive? If Drew didn't let Jamal play point and Hinrich / Teague split point guard time 32/16, how much would that help? Will Drew's preference of Crawford over Teague cost him his job, especially when he doesn't play Teague much in the playoffs? Did Drew go with only 7 players because he feels they need to play together and get more accustomer to each other?

This could also be calling out Josh, who continues to take more and more shots. Maybe Joe doesn't like that.
