If the Hawks manage to win 50 games this year, I wonder if the Hawks will acknowledge the job that Billy Knight did during his tenure with the Hawks. Think about it. The work that Knight did couldnt have been that bad if it produced a 50 win team. On the other hand, should the Hawks fall short of 50 wins and finish in fourth place in the Eastern Conference, that is still an improvement from finishing eighth last year and just getting into the playoffs. Knight was right.

To everyone saying we are a better team without Marvin: I coldheartedly disagree. However, I do think that we’re a better team without Marvin IN THE STARTING LINEUP. But to say that we are a better team without him on the team is ludicrous. My Hawks Playoff roster: 1st team: Bibby, Evans, JJ, Josh, Horford. 2nd team: Acie, Flip, Marvin, Solo, Zaza Defensive stopper: Mad Mario

Paul Revere, make that 4.5 games, not 3.5.

Lol at Paul Revere. Funny how Boston can lose 1 of your key guys and cant beat Milwaukee, Miami, Chicago, Orlando, or Detroit. Hmmm??? You just better hope and pray that KG or Pierce dont go down before the Playoffs. Reason being, the Celtics LAY DOWN when somebody’s out. The Hawks STEP UP. 6 in a row my friend. And you should be worried about catching Cleveland, who’s suddenly 3.5 games ahead Boston. And btw, you wanna talk about hanging on to something. Boston has 1 foot on the #2 seed, and the other one on a banana peeling.

Blast, funny thing is, we woulda took Oden if the ping pongs balls had’ve bounced our way. And everybody on this board would have been estatic, except me and a few others. His health has always been a concern of mine. And I never thought he’d develop any offensive skills whatsoever. With that said, I wish him the best. I’d really like to see how he would pan out, if healthy. And btw, THANK GOD FOR HORFORD!!!

You Atl fans kill me. You gripe back and forth about nothingness. You are holding the 4th spot in the east by the hair on your chinny-chin-chins. Beantown is the big bad wolf and we are going to blow your arses out of the water.

Garnett is scheduled to come back around March 21st, just in time to beat the crap out of you all on March 27th!! I can’t wait to read this blog on March 28th and hear y’all cry about how KG used Horford. LOL!!

Go Celts!!

It seems some of you aren’t reacting with your emotions/attotide and not your intellect. WHERE MARVIN, OR ANY PLAYER, WAS DRAFTED IS FAR LESS IMPORTANT THAN WHERE THEY RANK WITHIN THE HIERACHY OF THEIR TEAMS OFF. Marvin might have been the 2nd player drafted, but he’s been the 4th option in Woodson’s OFF, behind JJ, Bibby and Smoove. However, whenever he’s been featured in our OFF, he’s put up the kind of across the board numbers one would expect from even a #1 pick in the draft. Anyone that feels Marvin is that valuable, do a little research and tell me how many players that are 4th options in their teams OFF that have produced at Marvin’s level.

Some of you are too hung up on numbers or stats alone. That focus would eliminate outstanding players that have become Allstars and HOFer’s based in large part on intangibles. Players like Centers Bill Russell, Ben Wallace and Bill Walton, Forwards Dennis Rodman, Paul Silas or Guards TR Dunn and Jason Kidd, just to name a few, wouldn’t be held in such high regard if they were judged based on their scoring alone.

Don’t get me wrong JJ and Bibby are ballers, just an oopportunity for a little more balance.

Ariose, your comments support the point I was trying to make. Feed the studs down low and the JJ, Bibby shooting percentage will go up.

Sam, I see his improved driving ability, the three point shot and improved defense. Marvin is rarely asked to be a scorer. But remember the game he had 20 pts from the foul line? Marvin is a great team player and does not look for stats. JJ and Bibby could learn a little from him and defer to the front court.
