Brotha2ThaNite Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Is the Highlight Factor much of a Highlight factory? I know we got JJ with the nice dribbling sometimes, Bibby's alley oops (which over half are to J-Smoove), J-Chill put backs and Al put backs.... BUT THE MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS comes from J-Smoove.... So, what will they call the factory if we trade him? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swish Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Valid point! I think we go to something more like "The Turnover Factory"; "Spirit Factory", "Swingman Factory", or the "JJ Point Factory" if we lose Smoove. Any votes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PureGreatness Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 well, yall should win and make the playoffs even without smoove. but it should be called the "we will be over .500 even with woody as coach" factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnArborHawk Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 One thing we WOULDN'T be anymore is the Airball Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swish Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Maybe the "Bombed Out Factory"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frosgrim Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 The HIGH Factory, becuase you would have to be high to sit and watch the Hawks if the ASG gives up Smith for little in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJHAWK Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Well if they make a good trade using him it may be " The over .500 factory " or the " Smart Shot Factory" or even the " Guard my man Factory" and last but not least how about " The Box my man out Factory".

HawkNJersey Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 a FORD or GM factory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Since Law and Horford's unofficial nickname is "Law and Order", rename the "Highlight Factory" to "The Hall of Justice". Start calling JJ "Judge Johnson", playing off of his initials. His play determines the fate of the Hawks anyway, so the name fits him. I guess that would make Marvin "the Sheriff" . . or better yet, call him "The Prosecutor". Bibby would be "Dime the Bounty Hunter". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uga2006 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 without J-Smoove this team gets scored on at will. Just look at when he's in the game and not in the game. When he's not in the game teams just drive to the hoop with ease. When he's in there even the top tier players think twice before driving to the hole with Josh there. The kid is only 22 and brings more to the table then most players I've ever seen. Yes. he's still a little raw offensively but look at what he brings to the table defensively. Im tired of hearing all this crap about how yall want him traded. If this team doesn't have Smoove then we get ran out of the gym everynight with even the sorriest teams scoring 120 on us.

To be fair his shooting efficiency wasn't bad this year even including that atrocious first month (around the same shooting efficiency as LaMarcus Aldridge who most people seem to be shooting their load over), his man defense isn't elite but it is as good as pretty much anyone else on our team's, and no, he doesn't box out well enough but his defensive rebound rates are above average for a PF and its hard to box out when you don't have another player with the ability to contest shots. I know Smith has a lot of flaws but focusing exclusively on weak points is probably a bad way to evaluate a player considering that Shaq would have more "cons" than "pros" if you were to enumerate them in the above matter.

Im tired of hearing all this crap about how yall want him traded. If this team doesn't have Smoove then we get ran out of the gym everynight with even the sorriest teams scoring 120 on us. That only happens if our GM doesn't bring in a guy that can either defend his man in the post, or doesn't bring in a decent shot blocker. A guy who benefits tremendously from Smith not being here, is Solomon Jones. He's a guy that could become that shot blocking threat for 10 - 15 minutes a game, and during special circumstances where we may need a defensive stop at the end of a game. So say the Hawks can only get a shooter + draft picks in a sign and trade with Philly. The Hawks would still need to go out and get a defensive big for depth. This could very well be your rotation next year minus a Smith: PG - Bibby ( 24 min ) - Acie ( 24 min ) G - JJ ( 34 min ) - Chill ( 10 min ) - Bibby ( 4 min ) F - Marvin ( 24 min ) - Chill ( 20 min ) - JJ ( 4 min ) PF - Horford ( 20 min ) - Solo ( 14 min ) - Marvin ( 14 min ) C - Zaza ( 18 min ) - Horford ( 18 min ) - Diop ( 12 min ) Minutes per player: JJ - 38 Horford - 38 Marvin - 38 Chill - 30 Bibby - 28 Acie - 24 Zaza - 18 Solo - 14 Diop - 12 That's a solid 9-man rotation that could definitely work, depending on how solid a contribution Zaza, Diop and Solo could give us every night. And this isn't factoring in a potential shooter, who could take minutes away from Chill or Law or one of the big guys. With that rotation, you'd expect Solo to see most of his minutes against the running/athletic teams, while Diop would get burn against the physical frontlines. Of course, I'd rather have Smith here. But it's farrrrrrr from the end of the world if our GM does his job and get the right role players in here to round the team out better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDude Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I would call it The Empty Factory...cuz nobody will be in the arena to watch the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillz and Marvin both get there share of highlights. If they didn't then it wouldn't be the highlight factory. But without Smith, it isn't either.
