The Bottom line

[Wurider05]

Every time we lose a game you whine and moan about we need to trade JJ, we need to trade marvin or smoove. We lost last night because he just couldn't overcome our bad first quarter and was in part due to turnovers. Our guys except for JJ stepped it up in the second half, but yet we don't hear about that. Marvin-Smoove-Horford played pretty good last night. We lost last night because:

1. We could not execute when we needed to down the stretch. When we get into situations where Smoove is getting alot of touches you can expect alot of turnovers.

2. We only shot 39 percent from the field. (JJ was horrible)

3. AI got an ass of calls.

4. They hit their free throws (34 points from the line)

Our problem is COACHING and we need to get a veteran pg if they are not going to let Acie get major minutes. I doubt that he will ever have as many turnovers as Smoove so what is the harm of letting him play so we can see what he really can do. Woody is doign the same thing to him that he has did to Smoove and CHillz and that's pulling them when they make mistakes.

The Bottom Line is that you are mostly right. The problem IS coaching, and this team will not go anywhere or do anything of significance as long as Woodson is here.

The Bottom Line is that Woodson won't be fired until AFTER the season is over thanks to our inept owners.

The Bottom Line is that Acie SHOULD be starting, or at the very least, be getting the BULK of the PG minutes. We won't know what we have if Woodson keeps planting him on the bench every time he makes a friggin mistake!

The Bottom Line is that these players are not stupid. They know they have the talent to do big things, but they are beginning to realize that these "big things" will likely never materialize as long as Woodson and the ASG continue in the status quo.

The Bottom Line is that a shakeup in the roster may indeed be needed, but the likelihood of such a profitable and reasonable trade IN-SEASON for the Hawks is relatively low.

The Bottom Line is that even if these Hawks make the playoffs, they will be bounced out in the first round under its current leadership.

The Bottom Line...? Before the Hawks can improve, Woodson MUST be let go. It all starts with him. Period.

I am pretty sure everyone acknowledges that the teams biggest on-the-court problems are bad coaching and the absence of a good point guard. There are definitely other problems though, including the absence of a low post offensive threat and lack of size.

Perhaps the real problems though are crap management (i.e., BK and his draft blunders) and crap owners (i.e., worst ownership situation in professional sports).
