Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted November 10, 2011 Moderators Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 http://dimemag.com/2011/11/seattle-atlanta-to-throwdown-in-the-best-game-of-the-lockout/ I suspect it might not go down if anything gets settled on the lockout before Saturday the 19th, but anyhow... Jamal Crawford and Lou Williams are promising something different. Seattle and Atlanta are two consistently overlooked hoop hotbeds. But now we’ll have the chance to see which city is better. Expect it to be heated. Expect it to be real. As we broke in Smack last night, Crawford for Seattle and Williams for Atlanta are organizing a REAL GAME. Not a showcase, but a real game, or at least that’s what the organizers are telling us. It’ll take place at Morehouse College on Saturday, November 19. Doors will open at 2 p.m. with the game starting an hour later. If you plan on being in the Atlanta crowd, I’d suggest getting there extra early because this one is going to be hype. How hype? It would’ve been dope even until news broke today that Dwight Howard will be playing for Atlanta. Now it’s on another level. Here are the two sides’ lineups: ATLANTA Dwight Howard Louis Williams Damien Wilkins Derrick Favors Anthony Morrow Joe Johnson Jeff Teague Josh Smith —– SEATTLE Jamal Crawford Nate Robinson Isaiah Thomas Spencer Hawes Jon Brockman Marvin Williams Terrence Williams Will Conroy Lou's promo: http://proam.eventbrite.com/ For some of those taking the bait and heading to Forbes, there's supposed to be a discount for college and HS kids that bring a school ID (discount code on the event page above). ~lw3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brokentree Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Will Conroy and John Brockman must have #*$# themselves then they saw their names on that advertisement. Even I don't know the #(*$ they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyRoc Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 That's the best team Seattle could put together ? Also Joe isn't from Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted November 11, 2011 Moderators Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 That's the best team Seattle could put together ? Also Joe isn't from Atlanta. Neither is Teague. Seattle should at least pick up Ray Allen and some other former Sonics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted November 11, 2011 Admin Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Neither is Teague. Seattle should at least pick up Ray Allen and some other former Sonics. I am sure Shawn Kemp is available if he will put down the sandwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Seattle should pick up the other Josh Smith just to have extra fouls for Dwight if this is indeed "a real game" This also has to be the first pro-am that Marvin is participating in leaving only Rodney Stuckey as the only self hating Seattle-areaite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted November 12, 2011 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Brilliant!!!!!! Think about it.... Get Howard used to playing with Joe, Teague, and Smoove.... That's the future of Hawks Basketball. Howard goes free agent next year. If the lockout passes this year, Marvin will be Amnesty... If we can get another owner, the time is right!!! Dwight Howard comes Home. SHOUT OUT TO the Hawks players for being Brilliant!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Diesel Posted November 12, 2011 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Oh, that's what it is... I mean why else would you add Joe and Blink to the team? Neither are from Atlanta. No Toney Douglass? No Rondo? NO JJ Hickson? NO Jodie Meeks? Not even a Josh Powell? Randolph Morris? or Al Thornton? I see what's going on? We're going for D-12!!

Might as well. Do you want Josh Powell in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted November 12, 2011 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 No, I'm saying that there were other players from Atlanta LiKE POWELL and they are not in the game but Joe and Teague are. I'm not mad.... Let's convince Dwight to come on home... Hell, after Seattle, let's take on NY. Then Philly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted November 12, 2011 Author Moderators Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 What's 'Shard been up to lately. Seeing him and Joe on the floor at the same time will probably make some agent's head implode. Can B-Roy go for five minutes? Martell Webster? ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawksFan87 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 it's gonna be cool to see teague, joe, smoove and dwight playing together. Hopefully smoove has been talking to him all summer about coming home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators AHF Posted November 14, 2011 Moderators Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 It would be cool to see though I generally like the idea but that would be a massacre. If they actually tried, I doubt the Seattle team would be within 40 points after a full game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Moderators Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I'm guessing Team Seattle agrees with you... either that or the flight estimates came in... New Venue... New Opponents! http://proam.eventbrite.com/ Now it's "New ATL" versus "Old ATL" (No idea what that even means). And the game has shifted from Morehouse to Atlanta Metro College on Metropolitan Parkway. I'm guessing Jamal Crawford's foundation pulled out as a beneficiary. Players ATL Dwight Howard, Lou Williams, Josh Smith, Derrick favors, Anthony morrow, Joe Johnson, Jeff Teague, Damien Wilkins + More To Be Added. I see Trey Thompkins, Travis Leslie, and Marshon Brooks on the "new ATL" side. Ouch? Favors and Teague have to at least be on that "new" side to help them out. Afterparty at Mansion Elan for the grown and... well... http://t.co/xS0xKAXQ (Dwight, Joe, Josh, Teague, Damien, Favors, Morrow, are the "hosts," for whatever that's worth) ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Marvin probably pulled out due to a scheduling conflict with a thesis presentation and we all know Team Seattle is not going to run without its best guy, kids be damned.
