Re: Hawks

PERMISSION TO FREAK OUT!

[gunnar hendershow]

Hawks might fall apart if Horford and Johnson hear their names in Dwight Howard talks. I don't know if they should entertain that idea though, if they've figured out defense they instantly become a contender.

[thatshortguy]

Agreed, but do I give up Joe & Al? Hell no.

Do I give up Al? Quite possibly, just don't let him know that.

[rocksta]

I'd give up Joe Johnson in a second if I was them that contract was a mistake.

[DYSI]

So no Deron Williams, Brook Lopez, and Kris Humphries tonight against the Celtics. I don't even want to know how that one turns out...

[Trey]

I don't think anyone is going to trade for Joe Johnson and that contract, it's beyond crippling.

A victory via herculean effort from Sundiata Gaines!

I believe whoever takes on the contract could amnesty him next year.

Let's put it this way. I have tickets to this game and I'd rather eat the cost than make my way through the cold to see the Celtics bench beat the Nets

[Meacon Keaton]

Boston's bench isn't playing. Doc Rivers is going to take them all on himself.

[naiwf]

Watch the Nets blow out the Celtics tonight.

[gunnar hendershow]

The Wizards are absolutely dreadful. They are bad at everything, outside of McGee being able to block. John Wall must enjoy passing the ball to the open man and having him miss the shot with regularity.

[Meacon Keaton]

Should he even stay, John Wall is going to get a clause in his contract for "attempted assists". Because it's wrong to penalize a guy getting the ball to guys so open, only for them to brick.

So Sacramento fired coach, Paul Westphal earlier...

Tough decision IMO... Honestly they couldn't have expected him to take the team he has too far, but I guess they value DeMarcus Cousins more than they do him for some reason as I thought he wasn't too bad of a coach for the Kings...

A 51-120 will damn sure keep your seat warm and toasty. He thought he had clout in benching Cousins, but with no positive momentum backing him, he was toast the moment a promising player went against him.

A one point halftime lead for the Nets is considered a blowout nowadays.

[naiwf]

Going to triple OT in Atlanta because the Hawks don't seem to want to actually beat the Heat sans LeBron and Wade tonight.

[VerbalPuke]

Yeah, I've been watching Atlanta/Miami since the second half, and if Atlanta could just sink some free throws they'd have had this game locked up.

The Midget's probably frustrated watching this game, I'm not even a Hawks fan and I'm frustrated.

[Panni]

The Hawks run the most disgusting offense I've ever seen for a "good team." It looks like everyone plays 1 on 1 street ball instead of actually passing and running plays.
