Gray Mule Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hawks are ready for the final push of the season. They have FINALLY filled their roster. They have gone to the NBDL for a center and have recalled their own 2 guard. With 6 more wins already, they are on schedule to push away from the bottom of the pile. In order to reach the 25 win floor we Hawk fans envisioned to begin this season, we need 6 more victories. Anything more than that is pure gravy on the potatoes!! Don't just do something, stand there. Ha! Let's turn things around, starting tonight and do something good!! GO HAWKS !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted March 7, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I'm looking forward to seeing Donta tonight. I would love to see him get many of the minutes that normally go to Salim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJlaysitup Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Yeah I hope he gets a little time anyway. I was hoping to see Lang in a game but I guess it was too early over the weekend. Realistically, I guess he could come and go on a couple 10-day contracts and never get into a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see just how big this big boy is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragitoff Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I just don't see what the deal is w/ Donta. Outside the one game in pre-season, he has shown absolutely nothing. My goodness, he wasn't even a role player in the NBDL! What was he doing? Averaging 4PPG? Hardly enough to think he'll contribute w/ the big club.

Lascar78 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 he was averaging 14/4/3/2 in the NBDL Still, the main problem with Donta is that only hawks' fans think that a mid second rounder is supposed to contribute much. Donta is pretty good,but it seems to me that it's only a matter of time before he's playing abroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He averaged over 4 RPG but averaged 14 PPG, 3 APG, 1.7 SPG and .7 bpg in the NBDL while shooting 57% from the field. http://www.minnesotatimberwolves.com/dleag...smith/?nav=page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swolehawk2 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Lets not give up on Salim just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragitoff Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I stand corrected. I apologize for my uninformed post. Welcome back to the big club Donta! lol. Seriously, I agree we shouldn't give up hope on Salim because he's struggled lately. I wouldn't mind Donta getting some of those minutes, but I wouldn't go crazy and say give him most of them. There was a reason he was in the NBDL all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnybravo4 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hell just give him the 11 minutes Royal Ivey plays per game. I am sure he could run the point just as well...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragitoff Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I don't think Donta could give the energy Ivey gives in those 11 minutes if he had 4 cups of coffee and 3 red bulls before entering the game. Ivey's stats aren't pretty, but he gives everything he's got when he's out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholasp27 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 donta is a defensive player like ivey and he brings energy when ivey and donta are out there together, our defense is noticeably improved i'm looking forward to his return and hope he gets some real mins the rest of this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragitoff Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 With the injuries and releasing of Delk, unless he stinks up the joint, he'll probably stay with the Hawks for the remainder of the season. Maybe he can make a difference for them, if nothing more than a better defensive presence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDude Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Lang is on a 10 day contract. we've had for what, like 4 days already..time's a passing, we need to at least hire him for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible that he's only there for that reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
