For now. Getting Smoove off the books gives us more cap space and gets rid of a guy who no longer wanted to be in Atl. Addition by subtraction.

2009-2010 Interesting Stats: The ATLANTA HAWKS Are..... 12-3 when Jamal Crawford makes 3 or more from long distance. 10-2 when Mo Evans plays 20 minutes or more. More evidence to support the "Mo Evans should start over Marvin" theory. Nice compilation of interesting stats.

Rome is such a boob. Amare going to Cleveland would be great for our potential 2nd round matchup. Stoudamire is a huge liability on D that the Hawks could exploit to the fullest.

I was behind, so I made my own Friday double header by watching the Celtics game from Monday then the Suns game from last night. I was dozing off towards the end of the Suns game, but wound up coming to when we were down by 4 with a minute to go. I would like to publicly retract all of the negative statements I had for Crawford after we let Flip walk. I still love Flip, but Crawford is an amazing upgrade. I think it's time I purchased a Sund #08 jersey.

I disagree. Tonights game will set the tone for the next few games which include Boston at home, @Orlando and @Boston. We have to come out and play well tonight to generate momentum going into this weekend.

Technically, I'm a Washingtonian, as I live in Camas. However, I grew up in Athens, GA and have been a Hawks fan ever since I could comprehend what basketball is. Link to a great documentary regarding the former Seattle Supersonics: http://www.sonicsgate.org/movie/

Zaza. I'm not counting athletic ability in my vote for favorite. Hands down, that guy's given me more reason to cheer uproariously. His game is so sloppy, but he never backs down. He plays the essential bruiser-type role (ie: Bill Laimbeer, Dennis Rodman, Kendric Perkins, Martian Gortat, etc) that comes in to grab rebounds and defend the interior against bigs like Shaq. Watching him go nose to nose with Garnett was a defining moment for the Hawks this decade. That moment let everyone in the east know we demand respect and we're the next permanent fixture in the conference playoff picture.

I just got done watching the game on my DVR. I wound up getting the Cleveland feed via NBA League pass, and after putting up with 2hrs of Lebron jocking, had to watch us blow the lead in the 4th. I hate the Lebron love affair. If I have to hear one more thing about his birthday, I'm going to vomit. Best Sports Illustrated quote of recent memory, "If Kobe was 6in shorter, he'd still be a world class athlete. If Lebron were 6in shorter, he'd be a member of Jay-Z's security detail." Did anyone else hear one of the announcers on the play right after the shot clock debacle? All I heard was him saying something about Woodson complaining about how we lost some time, "but who cares!" as the Cavs took the lead 101 - 99 on that Varajeo behind the back bank shot. What a terrible way to start off New Year's Eve.

Zaza owns a stripclub in his home country. I heard him and Bendina went halfs on an upscale club after their record went platinum.

Greg Oden should be removed from the list. He's actually 65 years old.

I'd say 32-20. That leaves us on pace for 50 wins this year.

I just downloaded the mp3, planning on letting it bump in the trunk :) http://www.link.ge/file/49556/Bedina-zaza-pachulia-Emi-Tamashi.mp3.html

Doesn't being aggressive imply attacking the rim? In the game where he went off for 29, Marvin buried a lot of 3s and long jumpshots. I'm with AHF -- I'll believe it when I see it.

Much better than Allen Iverson's attempt at rapping.
