When Hawks last beat the Spurs in Texas

[jerrywest]

* Nique played for the Spurs.

* JJ, Bibby & Crawford were in high school.

* TD was in Wake Forest and David Robinson was out for the season with injury.

* Hawks started Mookie-Smith-Corbin-Laetner-Dekembe.

* Josh, Marvin & Horf were in elementary school.

It ends tomorrow night if the Hawks bring their A game!

* and Zaza was 25 for real in 97.

I actually never got that criticism/joke. For a guy who's 6'11, he doesn't exactly look ancient for 25.

Also, he was born in the USSR. For all their other faults, the Soviets were very good at recordkeeping. They liked to keep damned close tabs on the population. They had a complicated internal passport system, etc, and you couldn't do much of anything if your various identity documents didn't match.

Zaza must have been 13 or less when he started his pro career

Have the Hawks ever swept the dreaded Texas Triangle?

Dude, lots of Euro teams (including Ülkerspor, the team Zaza was with) have associated junior teams for players not yet old enough to compete in actual Euroleague games. Rubio and Darko were both 15 when they first joined junior pro teams. I think Sabonis was 13 or 14. It's not at all unusual.

I got my answer, looks like it was 1990-91

12/4/1990 Hawks 113 Rockets 110 (Woody didn't play for the Rockets in that game, although he was on their roster in his last season)

12/5/1990 Hawks 110 Spurs 108

3/15/1991 Hawks 127 Mavs 117

Hawks were only 43-39 by seasons' end, while the Spurs were Midwest champs (55-27), the Rockets were 6th in the West (52-30), and the Mavs had fallen off (28-54) after losing Roy Tarpley.
