Hawks prediction of Foxsports

[Russ]

I know this means nothing but it's a read:

Atlanta Hawks

Sure, the Hawks roster has been almost totally overhauled. Trouble is that the selfish, over-hyped players who were shipped out of town have been replaced with more of the same.

Antoine Walker has dead legs, a shoot-'em-up mentality, and no interest in playing defense. Boris Diaw couldn't fill the basket if he had a shovel. Tony Delk's erratic shooting will keep both teams in the game. Kenny Anderson's prime is a long-lost memory. Predrag Drobnjak is a stiff.

The Hawks' only genuine player is Al Harrington. Give him enough space and touches and he can score against anybody. This is the season where Harrington establishes himself as an All-Star.

But so what? Only the presence of the expansionist Charlotte Bobcats will keep the Hawks out of the Southeast Division's cellar.

Young players to watch: Rookies, more rookies, and nothing but rookies

That could be all true. However, I think that as the year progresses, we will see chemistry from Walker/Harrington. I think that we will see good play from both Childress and josh Smith. I think that for the most part, we will show improvement and be in the game late.

Selfish, over-hyped??? WALKER ISN'T SELFISH, YOU STUPID FOXSPORTS-COLUMNIST BASTARD! Also how does this moron think that He's overhyped? He's a good player and just because BK is excited to have him on this team means that he is being OVERHYPED??? Note to FoxSports-Columnist(or whoever wrote this garbage) : GET ANOTHER JOB!

Agree with everything but Walker is more a GENUINEplayer at this point than AL is....

we may not be playoff material but this guy can shove this up his azzcave...

Under young players to watch there is no mention of Josh Smith when almost everyone at this point is seeing this guy as potentially the biggest surprise of the draft.

This is typical for 'experts' nowadays. It sounds cooler to trash a whole franchise than to give real analysis. I can't remember the last Hawks player that was truly hyped. Its one of the things we've been missing.
