All I can say he is there problem now. I am glad we no longer have to deal with him.

read that earlier somewhere else. Oh, it was mentioned in the ESPN guy chat posted here earlier today.

He went to the Suns and blew up last year. This year it looks like he blew up so far.

Just another guy playing for a big contract?

[Sothron]

I know its not cool or very Christian to say this but I really do hope Diaw fails miserably in Phoenix. Not get hurt...just fall into the routine of never taking a shot and stifling an offense like he did here in Atlanta.

I've always had the feeling that the romance period in Phoenix would be short, and that his contract will be considered a bad deal.

Le' Diaw Le' Pew

...and there are people on this board that still want to blame Mike Woodson for Boris Diaw's failures as a Hawk.

[Dejay]

I'm with you, Sothron. We had to endure a year of abuse as everyone came out of the woodworks to call Diaw the second coming (see Walton, Bill). The man basically sandbagged his talent here when it was badly needed and then decided to break out when he had no pressure to perform and open looks at the basket to boot; that's why I just can't stand him. Even Dion Glover would put up stats in that arena-league style of hoops Phoenix plays (then again, maybe not). I can't wait to hear about him sulking (won't be the first time, wouldn't it?) because he's not getting the 'love' he got a year ago and resembles the Kool Aid man than the All-World caliber player he and the experts believe him to be. Some in Arizona may call it vindictive; I call it poetic justice.

Speaking of Phoenix, I haven't seen our friends around here since they predicted doom and gloom after Marvin's injury (to be fair only one of them was a jerk about things). Interesting that we don't see them when Phoenix starts 1-3 and Atlanta starts 3-1 and when Diaw is sucking it up. I am sure it is a coincidence, though.

keep stuffin' those pastries and truffels, my fine, french friend!

Last year all these people kept saying they would rather have Diaw for $3 million a year than JJ for $20 million a year.

Now the question is, would you rather have a hungry JJ and his 28 ppg, 6 apg, and 5 rpg for $12 million....or a hungry Diaw (get it?) and his disappointing statistics for $9 million a year.

I think the answer is clear.

in the words of Nelson Muntz....."HAWW HAWWWW!"

that's a funny post

[Final_quest]

Maybe something was lost in Diaw understanding slang.

Diaw: "The coaches told me to stay hungry. Bon appetit!"

This was one move by BK that I was totally in favor of from the start. Move a guy who clearly didn't want anything to do with our team for a guy who does. I'll bet that Bill Walton will come up with some excuse for him ('aww, what did you expect from a guy who should've been co-MVP with Steve Nash last year. He played in the World championships and he's just a little tired'). I wonder what he'll say when JJ is in the All-Star game while Diaw is in the stands watching (while chomping on fries, burgers, hot dogs, milkshakes, couissants,....).

[bonethugz]

i always thought diaw could be a very solid role player. of course i didn't expect him to be as good as he was last year. i still have no hard feeling or any feeling at all. if diaw somehow become an allstar(nah that's not gonna happen) later. fine. if he end up suck, that's fine too.
