Al's version of mixing it up. Its just that most players mix it up in the opponents face, guess that makes Al a contrarian.

Now they are saying Howard should not have been ejected?   NBA is a joke.

Apology not accepted.  You've been around long enough to know better, sir.  Consider this your first technical.

On a serious note, that's unacceptable.  Those refs should be suspended or censured or whatever.  That's either a conspiracy or a blatant lack of an understanding of the rules by those who're supposed to be experts.

Heck, why didn't Budz or the players know there's a distinction between technical types?

For Alice, thas a game.

For Dwight, thas a bad quarter.  Boom.

Also, I have a public service announcement to make.  Can we never ... ever refer to that player as "boss" again?  Never agin.

The most important fact, we here at Hawksquawk tend to forget:

Boston has far superior fans to the Atlanta Hawks. 

That is enough for the former center from Atlanta to be extremely happy.

Why should any of this other stuff matter?

Their replacement center, D8, I gave a hard foul and (He!, He!) lost his temper

and got a tech. for his effort.  Then, I strutted down the court, stirring up our

superior fans to back me up.  Wonderful!

Life is wonderful in Bean Town.  The late Ali proclaimed it and now I claim

the alternative fact for my own, "I am the greatest!"

I'd be lying if I say I'm not disappointed, and I'm one of the most optimistic posters in this board.

If he doesn't make a power-up in PO, then I would say that he would become a very bad contract at this rate.

One of my least liked Celtic player in a long time. Huge disappointment. I really want to root for him badly because he's a nice guy and chose our franchise when so many teams were going after him but he just flat out stinks right now and is soft.

He's going to be run out of town on here after the Playoffs. I just don't see him outplaying any of the potential bigmen we face...

Totally completely regret signing him...HUGE fail. 6 points(yuck), 6 rebounds(meh), 5 assists(Meh). 3-9, i mean dude is an average role player getting paid superstar money.

Hey Matt, can you ask her if she got the call-back from her Basketball Wives audition?  'Cause I'm sure she's put feelers out on getting onto that jonze.

Or did they think they've missed the mark on the whole sister-wives thing?

Quote

After the Celtics lost to the Raptors last week, Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe wrote the following:

What was even more demoralizing was the performance or inactivity of maximum-contract power forward Al Horford, who attempted five field goals in 30 minutes and finished with 8 points and five rebounds. On a night when the Raptors were squeezing Isaiah Thomas like a lemon, sending three defenders at him or inviting him to penetrate only to be gobbled up by two big men, Horford was rather passive.

Quote

There are two problems. Horford tends to fade into the background with Thomas on the floor, and he isn’t really equipped to carry the load. 

Quote

But he’s also just 13 of 37 in clutch time situations, per NBA.com. He’s not a go-to weapon, which is something Boston may need down the stretch. 

Quote

Horford’s a software upgrade that increases efficiency across the board. But he doesn’t increase production by significant amounts.
