Premium Member mrhonline Posted January 11, 2010 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Well...okay. Not sure how to react to this. I'd have offered to take Bobby Brown from the Hornets if it were me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP23 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I think we need more of a true PG...more than Mario, but thats just me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted January 11, 2010 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Actually I do know what to say: The Hawks are the laziest team in the NBA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotatl Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I wish that mario had gone over to europe for a year. I think it would have done him a world of good on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachx Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I like it ! JJ and Crawford are going to be bringing the ball up any way when Bibby is out of the game.............and they do is 1/2 the time when Bibby is on the floor. I like the signing and hope his plays allows him to stick ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted January 11, 2010 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 As long as Woodson doesn't play him the same time as Josh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 The one "major" thing that happens with the return of Mario, is that Crawford doesn't have to be out on the floor with the scrub unit during blowouts. This also indirectly helps Teague, because now Woody has the option to go with a Teague - West - Evans backcourt, essentially giving Teague TOTAL CONTROL of the offense, insteas of the partial control he shared with Crawford. As far as West's role on the team, give him his position back . . . as the best 1:30 end of the 2nd quarter defender in the NBA. If Woody wants to "extend" his playing time, let Teague continue to play in the 1st half, but let Mario ger 3 - 4 minutes in the 2nd half. He'll serve as the defensive 2-guard as Crawford runs the point and Evans/Marvin plays the 3. LOL . . having said all of that, it's just a 10-day contract ( 4 games ). If anything, Mario gives us an extra cheerleader on the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin capstone21 Posted January 11, 2010 Admin Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I guess after Robinson torched us they wanted a guy who can defend quick guys on the floor. I don't know if Mario can keep up with the super quick guys though. I would have rathered a true PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnice Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Right, North, I think in the last blowout win(didn't pay no attention to the losses, lol) Joe Smith was playin SF in order for Jamal to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Right, North, I think in the last blowout win(didn't pay no attention to the losses, lol) Joe Smith was playin SF in order for Jamal to come out. I know that is what happened but who cares if we have three Collins and two Joe Smiths out on the floor when we are down over 30 and shooting less than 40%? Woody does; other than him no one. PG or a rebounder is what we needed and as Online said: if the other options do not work out, Mario will still be out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawksFan87 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 he didn't really do much the last few times he was here. Don't think must of his game has changed now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlanta Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 welcome back mario !! his role will stay the same as last year, right? wonder how he'll be subbed in now with teague, crawford, and evans on the team ... but really we could use someone like evans ... watching joe johnson and mike bibby trying to stick with rondo is traumatizing.

RedDawg#8 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Mario will be doing the same thing as Othello was, unless the staff decides not to dress either Collins or Morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlanta Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 when can he start playing for us? and didn't he play in the d-league? how were his stats this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 when can he start playing for us? and didn't he play in the d-league? how were his stats this year? Not sure. Yes. And here you go: Mario West D League Stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlanta Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Not sure. Yes. And here you go: Mario West D League Stats Not bad... not bad at all. But those turnovers per game look scary, and 68% FT? Looks like he's the same ol' same ol' as he was back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameTime Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Not bad... not bad at all. But those turnovers per game look scary, and 68% FT? Looks like he's the same ol' same ol' as he was back then. Seems like he was trying to do to much in the Jan. 9 game. Other than that it doesn't look too bad. Seems like he has improved his passing a lot, is getting to the line at will, and is starting to take more 3's. He has always been a very good rebounder. I wouldn't be mad if he took Mo's minutes. He is a better defender. Edited January 12, 2010 by GameTime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted January 12, 2010 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 He's been playing PG for Maine. He's not a good ballhandler... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
