Northcyde's Corner

If you haven't seen the Warriors lately, they're as dangerous as ever, as the Boston win on Wednesday proved. And once again, some Hawk fans can point to yet another guy that Knight passed on. With Salim Stoudamire being treated like an Al-Queda operative by Woody these days, the guy that BK also had his eye on in the 2005 draft, Monta Ellis, has EXPLODED like a nuclear bomb in Feburary.

In the past 7 games, Monta has averaged a whopping 26 ppg, 5 assists, and has shot an incredible 63% from the field. Every time an opponent misses a shot, they're immeadiately looking to get the ball to Ellis, who has turned into an HGH-version of Spud Webb. He quickly pushes the ball up court, and either takes it to the rim, or takes the 15 - 18 foot jumper.

For the Hawks to win, they MUST neutralize Ellis, and prevent him from taking over the game in short stretches. This is also setting up to be a potential nightmare matchup for JJ. There's no way he can stay with Ellis. Josh Smith must stay out of foul trouble tonight, so that he be a shot blocking presence all night.

Our saving grace tonight, may be to constantly go after Ellis on the defensive end to get him in foul trouble. Your mission tonight JJ, if you and Woody choose to accept it, is to post Ellis up as much as possible and quickly go at him. This message will self-delete in 5 seconds. Good luck Hawks.

We Need A Win!

Viva La Hawks!

Their big man is out. That means we are screwed. Seem to always lose when our opponents starters are out.

[gsuteke]

catches a nut every now and then.

My game thread revolved around Mexican gangs, putting a fence around Oakland, and keg stands.

Thank God for Northcyde!

Perhaps next week we can combine the best of both worlds.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Niiiiiiice. Very nice.

Note to Hawksquawk: This will NOT be an evry game occurance. I enjoy the old Teke threads. But on those days in which he may need a relief pitcher, I'll throw my 2 cents in every now and then.

Monta scares the ish out of me tonight, especially with no Law.

Our past success against Golden St usually comes from when they start to get 3-point happy. Monta is changing how they attack people these days, with his pushing of the ball and his dribble penetration to score.

Like the commercial says, he's the fastest player in the league. He and Baron are a very dangerous offensive backcourt.

We just can't fall in love with the jumper tonight.

[gsuteke]

for clarification:

My intent was to incorporate Northcyde's thoughts and my humor.

However it wasn't happening tonight.

One is not a replacement for the other.

LOL . . hopefully it won't go as bad as the planned Best of Both Worlds Tour, featuring Jay-Z and R. Kelly.

Why isn't Kells in jail yet? At least Michael Jackson didn't get caught on camera.

[gsuteke]

check your messages and tell me if I was right!

LOL keep in mind I would have spiffied it up a bit

This could be like a perfect storm for him. Bibby and Law are out, the Warriors play fast and this could easily be a blowout.

[gsuteke]

I don't even want to watch this game.

Law and Bibby are confirmed out?

Although if he is limping like he did against Sacramento he's useless in there.

[exodus]

Someone said earlier that they heard on the radio that he wouldn't play.

Thanks guys - I liked it - especially the big-balled squirrel pick. We should be totally screwed in this game so watch out - if I were the Woodster I'd cut Salim loose and see what he can bring. I'd use Mario too. Spread those minutes and hope for success. If we play them conservative BDavis will probably flat kill us.

[NJHAWK]

If you look real hard at the Warriors logo it looks like a goose stuck inside a bronze statue.

OT: Somebody named Wallace went down in an nba game and had to be taken off on a stretcher. I caught the very last of it and couldn't even make out the uni's. I may be wrong on the last name but I think I'm right - the way they seg'ed into the Ben Wallace mini-interview.

[gsuteke]

here is one of the pics I was going to use tonight but balked on

I'm trying Ringo. I'm tryin'

[gsuteke]

and this one...........

Good Night............

[DJlaysitup]

You did right - she is thick-waisted. Need that "hourglass" figure. She looks like a girl who works out a bunch and bought herself some t!ts. IMHO. (unless you are related to her of course - then it was probably just a bad angle).

Now the second one.....

[Plastic Man]

Is Stephen Jackson playing for the Warriors? He was out last game with a bum ankle.

Yeah it was Gerald Wallace of the Bobcats. He was elbowed by Mikki Moore.

[DJlaysitup]

Game coming on soon - anybody watching? I'll hang around the chatroom if anyone shows up!

Nevermind - Chatroom appears to be dead (at least for me).
