The closer the time gets, the slower the clock seems to

run -- Wasn't so bad there for a while, lots of things

going on -- But now we wait -- And wait ----- And -----

Hawks "On Paper" team looks great - especially to the

impatient fans of Atlanta. We want to see what the team

really looks like on the floor, not just "On Paper!"

As always, health is our main concern - Can we stay

injury free for the season? This, more than any other

thing, has been the reason for our poor seasons just

past.

Adding two all stars to a team that was capable of playing

some pretty good ball in the second half of last season

when we got some of our veteran players back from I.R.

makes our mouth water.

Some say we got Dickau at a bargain and he is what

Hawks need to back up our "STARTING POINT GUARD"

Jason Terry. Others say he is not very good and that

too many other teams passed him up since we got him

as the very last 1st round pick. He looked pretty good

in summer league, but, that WAS only summer league.

Will "Big Dawg" fit in with the present roster or have

we acquired "Another Ryder?" Most of the fans that I

have read have posted good stuff about "Big Dawg"

and believe in him. I hope they are right. Some have

declared that they will now become Hawks fans!!

DerMarr would be a senior this year if he had stayed in

school! "Give him three full seasons to mature" and

then we will know for sure what we have. Remember,

he has had only two seasons here, so he has another

full season to grow, according to the Hawks plans for

him when he was drafted.

Theo -- All star

Big Dawg -- All star

SAR -- All star

J.T. -- Starting point guard {Got that, everyone!}

DerMarr - - Still growing into the player he will become.

Chillzatl -- Let's get ready to rumble! I'm ready!!

Enough talk and speculation already !! Get the show

on the road!

But, alas, we must bide our time until the calander says

that the season can begin. Until then -------------
