terrynoonan Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 They did! They also joked about us being for real at the end. Saying they had to give the love now because we might be done by the end of November. Monster Mash said we should have been a bankable win. I know he was bankable for about 20-50 missed games a year.

sick_five Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I saw that. It was all about the Cavs and nothing about the Hawks. The Hawks will have to continue to win and open eyes before they get any kind of respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland is supposed to beat Atlanta. They made the 2nd round last year and the hawks won 26 games. That's just a fact. But I knew they would. ESPN to me has become as bad as MTV for music. Their weekday games are awful and boring. The games have become more boring since they moved to ESPN for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sick_five Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 NBA Fast Break just gave thw Hawks some props for... DEFENSE baby! Legler gave Woodson a lot of dap for the defensive mindset this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnybravo4 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Yep we were basically the lead story on Fastbreak. I have to pinch myself. Now if we could only get a game on our hometown TNT. FSN feeds suck..I feel like I am watching a H.S game on PBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IonSen88 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Oh that PBS shot was a little harsh. I like their coverage; not the best, but pretty solid. I'd still take TNT over them ... Maybe we could finally utilize our HDTV sets for Hawks basketball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Check the budget for PBS, where the games are shot from, etc. Considering all tthat, they are MUCH better than the network guys. Still the laughingstock of the network guys. They talked about, not how the Hawks won, but how King James and his team were so great and played so well and lost in the end because the King missed a free throw. I don't care if THEY think that Cleveland just lost the game, as had the Bobcats in the previous one - Hawks still get credit for a -W- on the scoresheet. We're STILL a joke to the national media. This will continue UNTIL Atlanta can sustin this defensive, winning type play for an extended period of time. Hopefully we can. Then, when we get MW back, it will be like setting off a booster rocket to the Hawks !!! KEEP IT UP HAWKS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Sothron Posted November 8, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I've said this for too many years now: the national media loves to use Atlanta and its sports fans and the Hawks as a running joke and it will only stop when the Hawks win a title or at least become a consistent playoff team.

VDiLetto Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Who cares what the media thinks, just keep winning baby!! Screw em. There will be room on the bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_quest Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 It is odd how we received this mantle. The Hawks were in the playoffs consistently in the 80's and 90's. Then we have a couple bad years, gut the team, and all of sudden considered to be a woeful wasteland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me if we only put 9,000 in the Omni for all those years the Hawks would have been in Charlotte by now. No shot at PBS but doesn't it seem that all FSN games are hazy? Even in other markets. Maybe it is my TV. I have a 55 inch projection HDTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted November 8, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Its not just your television. There's some sort of haze or film on the cameras and it looks hazy. Did anyone else see the Yahoo sports recap of the game? Whoever wrote it not only trashed the Hawks about five seperate times in the piece they also said the Hawks have had "decades of futility". What.the.hell? Did I sleep through the 80's and up to the last 90's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just lazy, and another reminder that sports journalists shouldn't be considered journalists by any stretch of the imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Wretch Posted November 8, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 It is downright LAUGHABLE... They literally show nothing but LeBron highlights, to include his FT miss, until T-Lue's shot with 6 left in regulation. We get one shot by Joe in OT, "and the Hawks go on to win it..."
