I first got on this site? I was usually the only Al hater. Who else held the opinion that he was an on court cancer?

we had COUNTLESS threads

gsu even had "al harrington = addition by subtraction" in his sig

i said many times i'd rather let him go for nothing than re-sign him

at LEAST half the board held similiar opinion

[terrynoonan]

Yeah, I know, but it's no 100 million for Allan Houston.

[Nicholasp27]

47-38!

keep this up and we'll stay top in nba in defense

raptors board is saying they are playing poorly tonite...another night that hawks' opps are just playing poorly...no correlation whatsoever

jj 20/4 on 9/13 shooting

[terrynoonan]

C'mon man. That's two. Why are you hating if we feel the same?

Why did I get into it on all the Al appreciation threads then?

I think it's probably more like 10 to 15 percent.

[Nicholasp27]

u came in after al was traded...u didn't come in last spring/summer when everyone was saying he was addition by subtraction

i'm telling u it's prolly 50%+ that thought al leaving would help this team greatly

[Johnnybravo4]

I haven't figured out why Raptor fans are so arrogant. What are their glory years? Vince Carter and one playoff appearance?

[terrynoonan]

What about all the "we should have gotten more for Al's value" talk? That's all I've read practically. If you want to act like everyone knew it about Al, fine. It was really only a few. It didn't take me two years either.

[Nicholasp27]

we've been saying trade him for over a year

some people just wanted to get more for the 2nd best fa on the market this summer

but most wanted him gone

they simply wanted more than a mid-1st for him

seriously, look last season and summer, before he was traded and u'll see what people think about him on the team or not

[Nicholasp27]

let's continue the al thing later; we can do a thread search later

as of now, jj has 25 points!

smoove doing well as well

and bozeman forcing jumpball on bosh and then we won the jump

[Nicholasp27]

smoove AND 1!!

he keeps killing any raps' momentum

[Nicholasp27]

lue!

jj to smoove!

smoove with 17!

jj with 27!

[hawkman]

Smoove playing a very strong game. I think he's getting what it will take for him to take his game to the next level. He's hitting the boards and driving hard to the basket.

[Nicholasp27]

this whole team is just pushing themselves to a new level

defending

hustling

rebounding

ball movement

putbacks

passing under the basket

backdoor cutting without the ball

man, i love how we are playing thus far this year (except q1 of philly of course)

[Nicholasp27]

smoove again with a big play when raps try to come back!

smoove may end up getting gameball even if jj scores 40!

[Nicholasp27]

smoove pulls down the board on bosh's missed ft!

[Nicholasp27]

i wanted to keep them at or under 70 after 3 and we did!

let's hold them to 15 4th quarter points!

[terrynoonan]

We've given up some open 3's though. That last look was not good defense. Sooo much better than last year. The D is not a fluke.
