		<description>hahahahaha - I think what Ken is trying to say is the Hawks got better inspite of Woodson;  he is therefore not worthy of the # 9 ranking in the coach of the year poll last year, and should be fired. I&#039;m not ready to call Ken a hater, just sick, demented. I apologize for him for the verbal assault on your mother. Often times that&#039;s what confused and twisted children do when they have a lot of hate and anger inside and lack the proper social communicative skills to express themselves as adults.
Do what many of us do and just look past him. For the record I don&#039;t think he has played b-ball either.</description>

		<description>NO21=TOP50-you are a perfect example of someone desperate to make a point by weakly challenging someone else&#039;s comments. You seem to be trying to convince yourself, as well as anyone dumb enough to believe your crap, that you actually have a clue? You either twist the facts, or someones comments, in order to make that point. THE HAWKS AREN&#039;T A CHAMPIONSHIP CALIBUR TEAM AT THIS POINT, SO WHY TRY TO DISCREDIT THE IDEA OF ORGANIC GROWTH BEING A FACTOR IN THE HAWKS STEADY IMPROVEMENT BY COMPARING THAT GROWTH TO THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS LIKE THE LAKERS AND SPURS? 

If ORGANIC GROWTH isn&#039;t a factor, as you seem to think, how do you explain the Hawks going from last in the East with only 13 wins and passing all but the top 3 seeded teams? It&#039;s not like the teams we moved ahead of didn&#039;t draft, make FA acquisitions and trades to upgrade their roster. THE PLAYERS THEY DRAFTED AND ACQUIRED JUST COULDN&#039;T MATCH THE OVERALL ABUNDANCE OF ATHLETICISM, VERSATILITY, ORGANIC GROWTH POTENTIAL AND TALENT OF THE YOUNG GUNS BK BROUGHT ON BOARD. 

Everyone, including distractors, knows our frontline starters, Marvin, Smoove and Horford, can and likely will get a lot better. That&#039;s especially true if Woodson modifies his OFF, and OFF philosophy, to accomodate their specific talents and skills. At least twice since the 13 win season, 60-70% of the Hawks roster has been turned over. Yet, because the core of young guns has been maintained, along with their steady improvement, both individually and collectively, it&#039;s been possible for us to progress steadily and move past everyone except Boston, Cleveland and Orlando, with a limited bench and without making a lot of trades and/or adding a lot of star calibur FA&#039;s. OH, and we&#039;ve also managed to improve without adding a bonified superstar like DWade, LJames, DHoward, KGarnett or PPierce.</description>

		<description>At age 25  Josh will be better than Al.
At age 30  Al will be better than Josh.
At age 35  Al will play for mid-level and Josh will play in Chinese league.
At age 45  Al will be an NBA coach and Josh will be in the AA - not a high school coach, Alcoholic Anonymous.

Well at least they will be millionaires.  I will be dead.</description>
