The HAWKS should wage locker-room bets amongst themselves to provoke good play. There’s nothing better than a little internal competition for the overall good. Michael Jordan & Bulls did it. Jack Tatum &
George Atkinson of the Raiders did it. Josh should bet Marvin a $1,000 for every point he gets taking it
to the hole( and vis versa ) blocks, rebounds, steals, etc.

I’m just saying, it kills me seeing the HAWKS revert back to old BAD habits & as professionals
you have to do whatever, to get to the next level.

undisputed Champ!, Horford isn’t as naturally talented as several centers in the league, Bynum being one of them. But as we all agree, he’s a PF and has to play out of position. This will be the HAWKS weakness for most of the year, but tonight they need to show that it won’t keep them from winning the game. Haywood played well at center against the HAWKS but it didn’t stop them from beating Washington. They need to focus on rebounding as a team the entire game. No more two HAWKS standing around while Kobe rebounds the ball right in front of them.

GO HAWKS!!

Sekou, Did you even watch the game? Yeah Teague played well in the 4th qtr when he entered, but he didn’t come in for Bibby & provide the spark. Zaza came in for Bibby with more 4 minutes left in the 3rd qtr right after Bibby just hit 2 long 3-pointers. At this point, Hawks were only down 12 points to the Lakers, Bibby was gettting hot & more importantly directing the offense & not turning the ball over. After that substitution, we had about 8 turnovers in the remaining 4 minutes in the 3rd qtr. & thats when the lead ballooned to 20+ points. At least get your facts straight when trying to paint the picture that YOU want.

Look for Andre Miller to back down Teague or Bibby in the post, because Miller has a very good inside game for a PG.

I look for Marvin to hve a good game because he is playing close to home, and that always seems to get him that little extra motivation/aggressiveness.

One good thing for Horford is that Oden’s inside game is not as good as Bynum, so I dont think the Blazers will force feed Oden like the Lakers were doing with Bynum.

Je Je – Did you really say that Bibby has bigger arms than Al????
Dude, what the hell were you looking at? Horfords arms are huge.

(I did notice that Bibby’s arms looked bigger this year, but Dude…really?)

Once again for all of you who don’t know…the Hawks have gone as far as they can go with Woody at the helm….PERIOD…END OF STORY!!!!

ILL-logical,

Josh lacks range to work as a jump shooter. His averages are good when he shoots within the range he his comfortable with (he actually has a kind of sweet stroke around the hole).

Dantley had a very fluid mid-range game with excellent and elegant body control, something which seems to have become out of fashion. Josh does not have the body type to do it. Paul Pierce springs to mind as someone who has that type of mid-range game (amongst all other things he does well on offense).

Tayshaun has a lot better range than Josh and defensively he is more mobile. I don’t think Josh would be able to stand up defensively against the more mobile SF.

The best comparison could be Gerald Wallace, however, Wallace is smaller and also more mobile than Josh. Also, since he is not involved in what could be described as particularly successful bball, I would not call this comparison as very flattering…
