1st Place Atlanta Hawks going to NY

[Gray Mule]

Your 1st place Hawks take the road Wed.

What a way to tank!

Go Hawks. They are looking better every game. We need to play some better teams to see what we've really got but its already hard to make the case that Ferry hasn't improved this team while at the same time cutting salary and obligations.

Stat du jour:

At this point in the season the Hawks are tied with Miami for most assists per game at 28.

The Hawks are also 2nd behind Sacramento for fewest turnovers per game with 13.4. Sac has 13 TO's per game. Miami is averaging 15.9 TO's per game.

Just remember this, as we go:

NY owner has "GUARANTEED" their fans a victory Wednesday night.

Gotta wonder, did he get all the Hawks to agree to this?? If not, he

might not get his victory, even if they are at home.

ESPN-MSG. The fix may be on unless of course they are trying to get Woody fired.

The game against the Knicks on Wednesday is in Atlanta.

Oops. Thanks for the correction. Still a home game for the Knicks of course.

Sad but true!

Well, Gee! Since it was a "Guaranteed Win" by the NY owner, I mistakenly

assumed it would be a home game for the Knicks.

I recall that, several seasons ago, another team made a guarantee. That one

assured everyone that they would surely make the playoffs that season. We

then discovered that the guarantee was only as good as the team and coaches.

Are the Knickerbockers so good that their owner can "Guarantee" everyone

that his team will win? We know who their head coach is. Does he believe

that Hawk fans will believe that their coach is that great?

I know, they believe that Phillips Arena is their home away from home. Still,

even if they do have a player who "goes wild" each and every time he sees

a Hawk team and scores and scores and scores, are they "That" good?

Woody and friends really have their work cut out for themselves Wednesday

night. Being a national game, with all those announcers propping up the

visiting team, there should be an entertaining game facing us Hawk fans.

GO ATLANTA HAWKS !!

The glass half full perspective is that Atlanta has 30 NBA franchises. This city rocks!

Bud has exceeded my expectations so far. I would hope that if Melo gets hot he will run everyone we've got at him and force him to drive the ball.

Agreed. Last night in 1st half MKG killed us with 16 points. Bud switched DMC on him in 2nd half - Zero points.

Before Miami won yesterday (i.e., when this thread was created), Atlanta and Miami were tied at the top of the division.
