So I occasionally watch the Hawks

[ugafan6612]

Dawgs and birds! That's all that I hear about.

By the way, what the fuck was a 'Thrasher?'

lol it's the state bird of Georgia. Not very intimidating though.

The team that moved to Winnipeg has a hell of a lot more fan support but that didn't affect the win/loss record obviously.

 

[ugafan6612]

clinched a playoff spot and destroyed Detroit tonight. Gotta get the 5th seed

The Hawks have had a lot of great players. The problem is that we never had 3 or 4 really good ones at the same time.

Hawks owners don't want to spend the money so we have what we have.

Those dunks were nice... but don't look as exciting when they wear those nut hugger shorts like that....

lol yep. ESPN won't show most of them either because it's Indiana

 

[geneh_33]

So - is Indiana going to sweep us or what? Hawks can't play with these guys.

most likely. They are playing very solid and safe basketball while the hawks are just playing like shit

 

[geneh_33]

Yeah, the Hawks do pretty much suck. I wish they would sell the Hawks to ownership that is willing to do what it takes to win a title! I guess I'm just dreaming, though.

Pisses me off that they didn't even try to get LeBron when he was available. He is just what we needed. Just goes to show that current owners just want to make some money and do not care about winning a title. Stupid move because winning a title guarantees maximum profits!

 

[geneh_33]

Well, we did blow them out last night. But we'll most likely drop the next 2.

 

[ugafan6612]

Al won't play that good in this series again and Indy won't shoot 27%. Atleast they finally gave us some calls. Hopefully the refs will do that again tonight to make up for game 2 as well

Yeah, you're right, of course. Horford played really well but I don't expect the Pacers to miss that many shots again.

Well, it was nice while it lasted and at least we did win one stinking game! That's more than I expected.

 

[geneh_33]

Smith had 21, Korver had 19 and the Hawks win again! So we stay alive a little longer.

 

[geneh_33]

Smith is now LONG GONE. So who do we replace him with? Or - why bother?

 

[ugafan6612]

Looks like Paul Milsap is this years replacement until our young guys we just drafted mature

Our draft pretty much sucked. And Milsap aint much better. I guess we will just continue in unceremonial mediocrity. I sure wish the owners would sell the Hawks to somebody who wants to win a title. Or at least compete for one.

At least we still have Horford - for the moment.

I wouldn't say it sucked...The PG we got is supposedly the next Rondo for our future. I think Teague will just be here for now until that guy matures and our Center should bulk up and start in 2 years. Now if we suck this year and get a top 5 pick that'd be great since next years draft will be more stacked.

With the current Hawks' owners that is the best we are ever going to be able to do.

How do you let a guy like Dwight Howard get away without making him a serious offer? Answer= Just ask the Hawks' owners

Yeah I wish Ted Turner or Arthur Blank would buy the Hawks. Dwight could have came here and at least gotten us more fan support, even if he is a big baby now

With him and Horford on the floor at the same time the Hawks would OWN the paint.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Hey guys (& gals?)...newbie here. I kinda pay attention to the Hawks (live in Buford) so I thought I would chime in.

DH...glad they didn't sign him. Solid player but not going to win a title with him @ C. Once you get past his physical presence, too many holes in his game. No midrange game, not a great passer, can't shoot FTs. Bynum is a bigger risk health wise, but should be much cheaper and probably won't have to do a long term deal. Better OFC
