Plastic Man

How many championships has Bowen won? You can't teach that. Leadership was an issue last year in the playoffs.

no in this case it doesn't apply. bowen is washed up AND dirty.

i'd like matt barnes instead.

to me the biggest difference is that we KNOW Acie sucks on our team but don't know it yet with Teague.

i don't KNOW that...but what i DO know is woody sux so don't hold your breath on teague.

the moves we made so far smell like mediocrity to me. some things we'll need to get to 2nd round again:

--healthy squad (duh)

--crawford to play enough to allow rest for bibby and jj

--marvin re-signed and a chip on his shoulder

--smoove sticking to his strengths

--horford more aggressive/bigger arsenal in the paint

--RUN WOODY RUN

i was actually hoping we didn't re-sign zaza (even though i like his game). we need more of a post presence on both ends off the bench and i think zaza is limited considering the money he will make.

The thing that worried me about Acie before his rookie season was his shot. His mechanics on his J looked strange to me in college.

When i went to a game in person and watched him shoot my fear was confirmed. His 3 pt shot is a total knuckleball. If i got in a shooting contest with him i would beat him easily. I wouldn't even need to practice.

i agree his shot was not pretty coming in as a rookie, but i thought this past season it was much improved.

The biggest difference is Teague is excited to be here. Law on the other hand from day 1 I never got the impression he was excited to be here. Horford was very excited to be here from day 1. The Hawks were bad at the time excuse doesn't work.

i remember acie being excited to be here. he just got stuck in that pile of crap salim left behind in the doghouse. even when acie got his 2 minutes of run he still had that crap stuck to his shoes.

Sorry for raising this thread from the grave, but I found this:

since Phillips is not an airport i'm not a big fan of the whole "ATL" abbreviation; besides that i like 'em.

:worshippy:

Those two and realgm.com

ugh. these sites are so frustrating. one night kobe is "going to play in Europe"; next morning he's "headed to the Knicks"; after lunch he's "signing a lengthy extension with the Lakers".

i prefer to just read the breaking news articles and brush off the rumors. seems like the biggest and best deals come out of nowhere. realgm updates their headlines frequently.

I dont care who makes the all star game, Mike Bibby is the best offensive pg in the east.

during warm-ups yeah i agree.

i give zero credibility to a twitter account. i'm concerned with the injury history but forget all the drama Amare can play.

wow some of u act like acie played major minutes and repeatedly failed to produce. i'm trying to remember one game where acie DIDN'T break down the defense and make things happen when he got his 48 secs of run. he actually tried to penetrate unlike our other guards. hope he has a great year and lights us up every time (but we win). woody u SUCK!

Aaron Brooks is 6 foot 160 and also Allen Iverson... 6'2 175 is not that bad...

yep...toughness is the important thing.

Let me guess GEARON AND THE SPIRIT BLOCKED THAT ONE LIKE THE CALDERON DEAL !!!

ellis wasn't expected to be very good at the time. going back even further, we could have drafted him instead of Salim.

whether we have a high pick or not i still get into the draft. there's always a chance of someone slipping or a big trade going down.

Watch he turns into Chauncey Billups all of a sudden.

it's very possible. he has improved his shooting and showed he can break down the defense without getting much burn here. one thing Woodrow is great at--killing the confidence of a young player. with Nellie he will put up solid numbers.

if we got felton for marvin that would be amazing.

yeah...for CHARLOTTE!

Marvin and Smoove for Bosh.

not worth it.

J-BATTLE hahaha...another classic probably not far from the truth.

Marvin is overrated and has already peaked as a NBA player. The time is now to trade him.

Are you BK? I know he's a Pitt guy.

Pittsburgh's Sam Young could easily fit into Woody's system

I agree they would work well together...in the NBDL.

This thread is laughable. Marvin is getting severely underrated on this board. Just because he's not a "me first" ball hog looking to do it all doesn't mean he can't play. Take those bs stats and shove them upinya and actually watch a game for once. Marvin is the real deal on both ends of the court--duck butt and all. He'd average 20+ PPG if we ran "iso Marv". We'd be foolish not to re-sign him.

Its the same team except Felton isn't as good as Bibby is.

yeah...bibby is better at getting beat off the dribble and chucking instead of penetrating.

Remember when we could have traded the #3 and #11 pick for Amare?

Was that ever a real deal that we screwed up or what?

We can still do it...in a way: Al/Speedy/Mo for Amare

Hawks/Suns trade

I know this isn't likely (salaries?) but i'd like to sign a few of these guys instead of Bibby n Zaza. Here's my (uptempo) wish list:

Felton/Acie/Ivey

JJ/Flip/Rio

Marvin/Barnes/Moon

Smoove/Bass/Solo

Amare/Gortat/Morris

Marbury looked good with the Celtics.

what is YOUR definition of good?

NJH i'm with you on this one.

this was not the refs and i want the magic to win. nelson should not be getting minutes right now when skip and aj are available. why mess with chemistry? nelson is not in game shape...he clearly struggles on both ends. he pretty much ran into kobe's elbow as kobe was passing...should have double teamed sooner or just stayed on fish. dwight can't hit a free throw or even finish inside unless he's open for a dunk. turnovers and poor perimeter coverage down the stretch will not get you a win.

yep,one of the most boring highlight reels ever. Nothing but easy dunks.

...and some serious swiss cheese defense.

i think we can get someone with TH's toughness in 2nd round. i'd take either of his teammates before him.

The rim clearly started moving when Gasol touched it before the ball came down. Anyone who has ever played basketball anywhere knows how hard it is for a ball to go in when the dam rim is vibrating. Also wtf is JJ Reddick doing in the 4th quarter of the finals much less ot?

i'm with you...on both of your points. he touched the net and rim.

redickulous.
