woody:”smooth”!!
josh:(shrugging his shoulders),then he said aloud,”it was a good play,what do u want me to do”??
and then josh turned his back and went on about his business..

spots like that lets me know that he still has that rebellion in him against his coach and that his coach is one who is not confrontational nor is he one who will get in his players face and let them know,”im the coach”!!

it might not mean nothing to a lot of u,but,the small things like that really enlarge the big picture in what is really going on..

You are right as far as getting Josh, Al, Zaza on the at the same time, that would be an interesting experiment. Two power forward and a center.

We looked weak in the paint last night. We controlled nothing under the basket.

“We do have two big bodies in Rando Mo and Collins that may get more burn as we play against weaker teams.”

I would have loved to see them get major minutes last night. It was clear from the third quarter that we were not going to compete. Id like to see Mo, and Collins split 15 minutes a game, regardless of who we play. If we pay em lets play em. At the rate its going now they wont be ready for the playoffs. Lets get them some burns…

The Hawksta, I feel you. Its funny how you can tell a young man what to do, yet he always seem to do what he wants to do any way. Josh? straight from high school. Marvin? 1 year of college then straight to the pros. If you have raised children then you certainly have learned patience. Some times you have to repeat the same things over and over and thy still don’t get the message. The stand off between Josh and Woodson was a classic dad/son confrontation and Woodson hit it for a home run. In part that’s why Josh is better today. Every person has strengths and weaknesses. One of woodson’s strengths is player relationships. The players respect him. Hes earned it.

thats my problem with woodson..the development of our young players..and,i hope u did what i did and look at the minutes averaged out of the young guys of da hornets since game 1..

unlike our young guys,they do get minutes,and byron scott was developing his young guys and his bench before he got tanked,and now u see with playing time (and not being thrown into da fire like our guys) just how valuable getting these guys in early and often in the beginning of the season pays off during the long haul..

42 minutes for joe tonite..5:25 for teague..zero minutes for collins,and morris and othello again was inactive..

why did we get two 7 footers and they are constantly on da bench?? neither to come in, giving us an advantage by having horford and smith at the forward spots and a true center in da middle to give us a “BIG” lineup!! Why not??
Before u ask me, why??

i got a very serious question to ask you guys..what are we gonna do,god forbid,if crawford goes down?? we’re gonna be stuck with the same situation as we have the past few years..with the exception of us having flip murray,we will have no type of scoring off of the bench..if bibby is out for a while,we all know that crawford is gonna start..but,if we had been playing teague more and getting his feet wet,then we still could have crawford come off of the bench..

now u all see why i said that even if we did draft chris paul that he would not be the player he is today..he would be rotting on the bench with woody as his head coach..right now im panicking,because we have a situation that is coming up and we’re not even preparing for any situation to come at this team at all..no contigency plans what so ever..this power ranking at #1 will be a thing of the past in a week..watch and see..the powers that be will have us at number10-15 after we lose a couple on the road and at home..enjoy it now people!!

if you all are satisfied with mediocre basketball,then we deserve what we get and we deserve the early exits in the playoffs of this team..im not satisfied..i want our team to have the advantage everynite they step on the court!!

ILL-LOGICAL-there’s nothing wrong with your thinking, but having a dominant center that can bang with the big boys doesn’t always work and isn’t necessary to win a NBA title. Last yr, the Phoenix Suns had that same idea about needing a dominant center who could bang with the big boys in the playoffs, allowing them to have AStaudemire do some damage at the 4 and 5. Well, they got Shaq, the biggest banger of them all, moved Amare to the 4, and quickly failed to even make the playoffs for the 1st time since the 03-04 season.

If fact, the Hawks once had that same idea. They signed a dominant center named Moses Malone to bang with the big boys in the playoffs. I guess we all remember how that turned out. I’m certain you wouldn’t call BWallace, BLambeer, NMohammad, WPerdue, BCartwright or even WBynum dominant centers. Yet, the Pistons, Bulls, Spurs and Lakers still managed to win NBA titles with them. We didn’t get swept by the Cavaliers last yr because they had a dominant center, and the Lakers didn’t defeat the Magic because WBynum was more dominant than DHoward.

Yeah, I on hope those refs do come around; sooner rather than later. With our upcoming December schedule, we are going to need at least a level playing field. I mean, clearly, they do not want us to have a Merry Christmas:

Sat 19 @ Chicago
Tue 22 @ Minnesota
Wed 23 @ Denver
Sat 26 @ Indiana
Tue 29 vs. Cleveland
Wed 30 @ Cleveland

We can’t sleep on Chicago on their court as they are a scrappy bunch that plays hard like Houston. Denver and Indiana will look for revenge on their court as well. We may be the only team in the NBA that plays Cleveland in back-to-back games. If the Hawks are not sharp playing 5 road games over the holiday, it could be a humbling experience.

Jeezuz…… A DRMARYB sighting, Well Well Well if it isnt Ms. Chettah Thongs – Richbrave and Doc are sum where sweating profusely LMAO

KevinA, I think most people expect us to have a good season. It seems we are now playing for the off season. Assuming we get there healthy, and make it to the semi’s and finals, the game will break down to half court. The key will be how we represent ourselves in the post. Can we create our own shots and finish on offense and on D can we protect the post real-estate and control the block. Many think we can be forced of the block and out of position. Position is everything in defending the post. Can Horford MAN the post after 82 games and a playoff run? Id like to have another center for the purpose of holding fort. I like ill logical’s thinking on this point.

We do have two big bodies in Rando Mo and Collins that may get more burn as we play against weaker teams.

I would still like to see ZaZa, Al and Josh play together.

You never know maybe around the trade deadline the owners will give the ok to go into the cap and get a big center from a team that is rebuilding and out of the race.

If we have the year you talk about maybe next year FA bigs will be willing to come here for less money if they think they have a chance to play for the ring.
