WHO WOKE UP THE HAWKS ??

[Gray Mule]

What ever happened at half time, the Hawks need to

have more of it on hand all the rest of the season!

Some of the things we might expect after this game

as we look at what happened.

Say what you will about these players that come up from

the Development League, they come to play! We now

have another one in Benjamin. He stold the show last

night, along with the heart of some Hawks fans. What

an effort! And, he just got here. If he keeps this up,

he has found a home.

Glover started and showed why he is here. He played

like he belonged on the floor with the starters. Expect

a lot more playing from here all out.

Could it be? Glover and Nazr as starters with Newble

and Theo coming in off the bench? Nazr gives the

Hawks a big man under the goal on both ends, and

his scoring isn't bad either. {Makes Theo more

expendable, if Hawks want to trade, too.}

Last night, the effort was there as it has not been for

quiet some time. Sure, this was a loss but it was a

loss that we can feel good about, not like the one

against the Bulls -- Don't remind me of that one.

Hawks really needed a win. More than that, they

needed an attitude adjustment. They didn't get the

victory but they sure had a different attitude. Playing

like they did after the half last night, this team

could and, I believe, would be a playoff contender

right now. Is it too late? Yogi Berra said it best:

"It ain't over 'till it's over." But, it's a long, hard fight

from where we find ourselves right now.

from where we find ourself now.

Some people dismiss Nazr, but he was our C for the 2 seasons Theo was out and we liked him a lot. His Dis questionable, but he's good enough to be C on just baout any team, that is , unless you want your C to be as effective as Duncan, Shaq and Co. where just about any other player is secondary on the scoring end. Nazr was hurt and he finally is gaining some of the mobility he had and his shots are going in, sometimes with authority. He's no scrub. Glover, well, besides JT, he's my man! He used to throw some good 3 pt. in college and he was supposed to be the Hawks' 3 pt. threat. If he stays healthy and ocntinues to improve, he may start for this or another team some day. I personally like someone like a Jalen Rose as a starter with someone like DG (glob) or Ira coming off the bench. DJ wa supposed t be our man at the 2, if not him, we need ourselves a Rose type of player who can bring it! JT could be that player. He has the talent (And the darn bad passes and turnovers - he may want to talk the wife into leting him bring the baskeball into the bed with them; that is the only thing he hasn't tried). PEACE.
