Hold on.... If I'm not mistaken... Didn't JSmoove take the ball off the dribble and dunk the ball on the Celtic's a series or two earlier. All possessions in a game this close, with this amount of time should be penetration plays to get either a foul or easy score.

So many lay-ups by the Clippers... Hawks are flat-footed.... Reaching.. Trying for Steals.. and are getting beat to rim and on the boards.... Ding-Ding-Ding..... Class is in session.......

I would move JSmoove, Acie, Speedy, and a pick. What many fail to realize is that many player's improve their play when that have a chance at a fresh start on a decent team. Look at many players that the hawks have moved in the past that went on to be star's on other teams.... Remember one player can make a different in the attitude and confidence of a team.... Amare would influence the Hawk's big men step up their play....... You can combine JSmoove and Acie's numbers for the season and they would not come close to Amare's numbers...... We finally would have a big man to run the offense through rather that Joe at elbow holding the damn ball all night..... Last night show's that when given the opportunity, other players like Marvin can and will step up their game...... It is my belief that this move would re-energize the fan-base here in Atlanta......

I'm curious to know if anyone has any footage of a Hawks practice. What comes after "Guys two lines lay-up drills.... Maybe Josh and JJ have a dunk and dribbling expo for the team... Woody probably practices calling time outs... and everyone else stands at the bench area and practice how to be seen not heard.... The Hawks show no offense cohesiveness at all...... I would like to see a scrimmage between the Hawks and a team that runs the Princenton Offense type sets... They really are sucking tonight.. against the heat...... We can't stop Wade from penetrating the lane..... not even when we try to trap....

ALL, TAKE A MOMENT TO BROWSE..... I'm sure you will enjoy the ride... :magnifier:

Campster are you serious...... JSmoove simply doesn't get it.... I don't see any improvement in his overall game at all..... I question his work ethic... Okay yeah, he got injured ... I will give you that........ But when you look at the way he approaches each game..... He never try's to impose his will on a team....... He show's a glimpse of his true ability....but many times only when he's pissed off.... or when someone has given him a hard foul in a earlier play.... Many times he gets caught up in one on one battles... that he seldom wins.... his basketball IQ isn't the greatest..... If he hits his first shot from the perimeter .. its going to be a long night..... If anything I see regression in his game from last season..... Everyone says he's young..... so what ....... we are paying him millions to do what ...... produce..... the D-league is for players that need to develop their skills....... Josh has to look himself in the mirror and ask himself am I putting in the work to become the best player I can be........... Look at Dwight Howard, Amare' Stoudemire, and Chris Bosh (1 yr at GT).... Does anyone remember how small and frail Chris Bosh was his rookie season..... All of these players have improved over the past years...... Josh still looks like a rookie most nights....... Coaching has a major role in his failure to progress his game, but Josh has to take it upon himself to get better, much better.

Usually the home town fans leave when the home team gets blown out the water.... Oh damn...... Orlando has hit a 3 to start the second half...... and Atlanta answers on the offensive end with getting their shot stuffed..... I digress....... on this mess...........

I personally would make there *ss stay on the court and do lay-up drills... They haven't played much defense nor generated much offense, no shot have been contested. So they all should be well rested. DAMN BUSTERS!!! HOW MONEY MUCH DID WE GIVE JSMOOVE again?

When it's time to determine if the hawks make the playoffs or not....... And they come up 1 game short.... Will we look back on loses like this one and say........ If we had only won the games that we should have won.... we would be in the playoffs.... THIS IS WHAT CAN RUIN A SEASON .... A SEASON OF HIGH EXPECTATIONS.......

I GUESS THIS IS ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE ESPN'S SPORTSCENTER..

Missed the OT... But just as well.... Hawks deserved to lose this game........ No excuse to lose this game....... Once again.... no killer instinct.......

If I see one more "BONEHEAD" play by Josh Smith, I'm going to shoot someone... Who makes a 2ft bounce pass with 3 defenders in the paint......... GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Devin Harris has embarrassed almost all the hawks players by himself... He just JJ his 5th foul.... They are running the hawks into a frizzy.... Speed under control kills....... This has been a painful half to watch.....

Damn, I turned away to watch the Sugar Bowl... and the Nets got the lead down to 6... Just awful...... I see J_Smoove up to his old tricks from the outside.......KLANK!!!!!

If you were Mike Woodson, do you start the 3rd with your starters? Give your Bench a chance to hold or build on your current lead? I would suggest to begin with the starters and after 8 minutes into the 3rd qtr if you still have a big lead. Let the bench finish them off.....

I have posted a few treats in my gallery... Be Sure to visit the Candy Shop :vacation1: Enjoy!!!!

Would you make changes to the starting lineup? Would you change the offensive sets (plays)? Bench Minutes? More or less for certain players Play more man or zone? Would you Run and Gun? Would you be willing to get in the face of Star players, when your directives on the are not followed? We all have expressed opinions on how different we would do somethings with the team. Well Coach, here's your chance.... Let's start with your pre-game speech to the Team in the Locker Room..

I would love to see a game where the Hawks dominate the teams they're suppose to beat. This is a sloppy game.... Wish I could say it was a good defensive battle... Fouls, Technical Fours, Brick shots, and just pure sloppy play has dominated this game...

Kids...... you classify guys that play college ball as kids..... When you are paid to play.. you are a professional..... Yeah, lets not hold the hawks to a higher standard..... Set low goals... and you shall achieve them......MORE EXCUSES FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY...

I express my thoughts about the game and the team and all you can do is be insulting.... And you call me a joke..... Keep it moving.....

JUST CALLING IT AS I SEE IT...... THEY ARE UNDERACHIEVING........ HOW MANY EXCUSES ARE WE GOING TO MAKE FOR THEM.... THEY'RE PROFESSIONAL BALL PLAYERS.. YOU MAKE EXCUSES LIKE THEY ARE LEARNING HOW TO WIN FOR FRESHMAN BALL PLAYERS IN COLLEGE... BASKETBALL IS NOT A HARD GAME...... ENOUGH WITH SUGAR-COATING THIS TEAMS PROBLEMS........

THE HAWKS are once again, who we thought they were....... A BUNCH OF HIGH PAID UNDER-ACHIEVERS THEY LOOKED COMPLETELY LOST AT TIMES ..... MAINLY DURING CRUCIAL GAME SITUATIONS... JOE JOHNSON DRIBBLING THE DAMN BALL FOR MOST OF THE SHOT CLOCK, THEN PASSING IT TO JOSH, HARTFORD, OR ZAAZA AT THE ELBOW.... WTF... SO MANY WASTED POSSESSIONS........ HOW THE HELL DO YOU RUN A OFFENSIVE PLAY, WHERE YOU HAVE 3 GUYS ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE FLOOR AND GUARDED BY ONE DEFENDER.. MIKE WOODSON NEEDS HIS ASS KICKED.... JUMP SHOTS... JUMP SHOTS... JUMP SHOTS... THAT'S ALL THIS TEAM KNOWS.... YOU CAN COUNT THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE HAWKS TO THE BALL TO HOLE WITH AUTHORITY ON ONE HAND... SIMPLY PATHETIC...... SICKENING......... LAST YEAR WAS LAST YEAR.... THIS TEAM NEEDS A WAKE-UP CALL...... AND THEN THERE'S JOE JOHNSON..... CLANK... THE ONE TIME WHEN NO ONE WAS GUARDING HIM..... HE MISSES A CRUCIAL FREE THROW...... AND HE'S THE GOTO GUY.... LOL...... BRING ON COLLEGE BALL AND MARCH MADNESS.... AT LEAST THOSE KIDDS PLAY WITH HEART..... THESE OVERPAID BABIES .... ARE A JOKE...

I believe you are right..... Definitely a coaching error.....
