yeah gordon is not going anywhere whether he likes it or not. they would trade pargo but not gordon. gordon doesn't meet our needs anyway, especially if we keep lue. at least dre miller is a true pg.

i watched the whole game on league pass. had to put up with heat commentators all game. marv got game just needs more consistent minutes and can't pick up cheap fouls early. zaza played timid.

patience! marv avg 22 min; paul avg close to 40 min. marv just needs consistent playin time. if we lose AL then marv's numbers will dramatically increase all around. we haven't even seen the real marv yet!

that would be great for us but there is no way the Clips are givin up Livingston. they would trade Cassell before Livingston.

we can't rely on jump shots all season. i'd like to see more /slashing/ and an increase in FTA. what is up with 'melo gettin 24 FTA? that's 5 more than our whole team! he's not MJ!

we need a true pg that thinks pass first. someone who can penetrate and dish to set up easy buckets cuz we have athletes who can finish. i think we need a physical presence inside more than anything. between lue/ivey/jj the point can be covered for now. we're undersized and can't rely on jsmoove alone to get stops. zaza is tough but doesn't have the body to hold anyone in the post.

and i'm so glad the refs didnt bail out 'melo at the end. in the first half we came out of a timeout with an oop for jsmoove and from that point on he played with confidence. those easy baskets give him adreniline and seem to "elevate" his game. again, he only gets credit for 1 block but he changed many more; still pickin up cheap fouls though. HAWKS FTA: 19 'MELO FTA: 24

i tried but it wont let me use the same email address

could someone please change my username to Plastic_Man

agree. i luv smoove but he has to learn to protect the rock! his handle is still shaky but i think its just a lack of confidence. at least he isnt hesitatin on his open j. we dont have any great passers but we gotta get him easy buckets. he started off slow but picked it up. we coulda used Zaza on the boards but Smoove played well as 4/5- he held his own against c-webb n dalembert.

i think if were losin Al we gotta get a real good big man to help Z. Ivey n Lue are doin fine at point right now, but neither is a FT starter. and if we get a startin PG Lue or Ivey will go. and rod thorn is a prick- always wants more than what he's giving up (i.e. kmart for 3 #1 picks).

yeah there were the stupid turnovers but they seemed to make up for them on D. i was there and although Smoove only gets credit for 3 blks, he altered many more. they were scared to go up on him. chillz with 4 steals and 3 highlight dunks. TLue gettin booed all game only fired him up. Iverson was floppin like ginobli/vlade all night. if i can see that from the nose-bleed level why can't 3 refs see it on court? over half of JSmooves fouls this season never actually happened. we needed more from JJ in second half

in philly tonite (wearing my j_smoove jersey of course). it was even worse in person! hawks get NO respect from anyone. i shouldn't be suprised b/c this has happened to us too many times going back to last season. we had 'em. Al couldn't be stopped. read the postgame report on sixers.com. Mo Cheeks speaks of getting "breaks"- even he knows. our tenth loss by >10pts. the bad calls started early and never stopped. FTA: ATL-18 PHI-35

i wanted this trade to happen pre-season. i was freakin out when i heard rumor celts were dealin PP for these 2. dre is an ol' skool pg who doesn't care about his ppg (he doesn't/can't shoot the 3). he's smart, makes big plays and is SO underrated. surround him with our young athletes this would be a fun squad to watch. al will be gone to FA, so gettin a healthy Nene is just a bonus. nene's got plenty to offer he just needs minutes. with kmart n camby frequently hurt al would get his PT. chillz could compete with dermarr to start
