Well it's just a first game, but yeah they played well and also Kevin Pickney was good. Speedy looked good too, he was quick and had like 10 assists.

[Kimsey]

The dude's name is Kevinn Pinkney not Kevin Pickney.

Not directed toward any one specifically, I couldn't find info anywhere.

man that sucks,but hey we're looking good.Richardson is hitting everything,he knows how to move really well on offense. Mario even hit a long jumper from the corner. Acie looks like a mature PG,Speedy looks great. Luke Jackson has looked pretty good too. We've been sharing the ball well. Basically the offense looks better than Woodson's lol

they should look great against that competition. here's hoping that JRich finds his stroke and by starting with the team from camp finds a place for himself. Would love to have a cinderella story.

The inaugural game of the 2008 Rocky Mountain Revue commenced with a contest between the Atlanta Hawks and the Dallas Mavericks. Both teams played somewhat tentatively in the first quarter, Atlanta finally cracked it open with a crowd pleasing alley-oop dunk. The first quarter ended with the score 28-21 in favor of the Hawks. Atlanta increased their lead to 14 points midway through the second quarter largely due to the impressive play of seventh year veteran guard Speedy Claxton.

The Mavericks were still in summer vacation mode during the first half which ended with the Hawks leading 51-38. Atlanta’s Jeremy Richardson led all scorers with 15 points; Shan Foster was the leader for the Mavericks with 9. Speedy Claxton led the assist category with 4 and his teammate Jeremy Richardson contributed 3 assists to the effort.

The Mavericks returned to the second half a little more organized. With 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter the Mavs made it a game, cutting the Hawks lead to 4 points at 64-68. Third year player Gerald Green out of Gulf shores Academy led the charge for Dallas in the 3rd with 14 points. The Hawks appeared to be a bit confused offensively at the end of the third quarter, but still maintained the lead a 72-66.

Early in the 4thquarter Atlanta’s Luke Jackson; 4th year forward/guard out of Oregon, stretched the Hawks lead to 82-70 on a three pointer assisted by Acie Law. Law took it coast to coast in the final two minutes of the game for an easy layup which cemented the eventual win for the Hawks.

Jeremy Richardson led in scoring on the game for the Hawks with 21 points; he also contributed 4 assists and 4 rebounds. Teammate Luke Jackson finished strong in the second half, with 20 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals. Gerald Green led the Mavericks in the points category with 20 including 2 three pointers; he also contributed 2 assists and 1 steal to the losing effort for Dallas; 89 – 74.

Looks like Richardson, Jackson and Not-so-Speedy impressed.

Not such a good outing for Law. Mario`s impact cant be seen from a boxscore.

[DrReality]

It would be a a good mix to see Jackson make it and resurrect his career and maybe Kwame. Helping them make it and them helping the Hawks to the next level. maybe it's like the "Basketball Whisperer"

[WraithSentinel]

Seeing as we missed out on some good role players this offseason. If Jackson can make the team it might offset that. There is a spot on this team for him.

[Swish]

I've said it before I'll say it again- Kwame/Jackson could be the final pieces...
