		<description>NYB,

You sound like you have a wonderful family. On that, you get an A+, however, you&#039;re still a scrubb in basketball knowledge. Big difference between 6-0 and 11-3. Best start in 12 years. We&#039;ve been #1 in the power ranking for two weeks in a row. We&#039;ve added Crawford and Joe Smith, Josh is playing within himself, we&#039;ve been relatively injury free and the entire world &quot;believes&quot; we&#039;re for real.

Last year, we were injured going into the match up with Cleveland (even though we had no chance anyway). This year we are much better and I haven&#039;t heard anybody outside of this blog mention the need for giving Teague more minutes.

I label you a scrubb because you are a Woody &quot;HATER&quot; with no facts to back it up.

		<description>i own 2 homes,im married,3 wonderful kids,business owner(but times are kinda slow),so,if you would listen to the lyrics of TLC&#039;S &quot;NO SCRUBBS&quot;,a scrubb i am not..

lets go back to last year mr.samuel..
and the hawks were in 1st place,and we were 6-0..
since then..they went .500..

so your point is..........what???
ohh,did i forget that we took the heat to 7 games,and we were shut out in round 2 by the cavs..and didnt&#039; even put up a fight or looked competitive untill the bench came in,in game 3 @phillips arena..and nearly brought us back..

they played well,AC,GARDNER,OTHELLO HUNTER,but,if they had been playing during the season and jelled somewhat in games played instead of practice minutes,then who knows what and where would have ended up..

we,maybe would have at least won one game SIR!!

I SEE U ARE HAPPY WITH MEDIOCRE..WELL,THE NAMES MENTIONED ALONG WITH ME ON YOUR RESPONSE ARE NOT!!

IT SHOWS THAT U ARE A BANDWAGON JUMPER,AND YOU DON&#039;T KNOW THE HISTORY OF THIS TEAM NOR THIS COACH..

YOU ARE JUST LOOKING AT THE RECORD NOW,JUST LIKE MOST DID LAST YEAR WHEN WE STARTED OUT 6-0,THEN WENT 34-34,LMAO..

YO,WHEN U JUMP OFF OF DA WAGON..STAND UP CAUSE I&#039;LL BE DRIVING BEHIND YOU AND I WANT U TO BE BENT OVER SO I CAN PUT THE HOOD ORNAMENT IN YOUR REAR...</description>

		<description>NYO,

With that post, you&#039;re officially a &quot;Scrubb&quot;, in the same class as honest abe, Ken Strickland, Clyde and the rest of the Woody haters here who refuse to acknowledge what&#039;s clear for all to see.

The Hawks are in 1st place and Woody is their leader. Add it up. You guys are making yourselves look more and more stupid by continuing to question the COY. Maybe when we drop a few notches in the Power rankings but right now your weak as_ arguments hold no water.</description>

		<description>Samuel says,&quot;why change and risk losing if your GM is unwilling to give you an extension. Would you?&quot;

and that point too,has already been brought up..
if your willing to go with the flow,and not do nothing to your lineup,scheme,and just players play and make your gm get looked at as being the one who brought them in but u don&#039;t do nothing to make them over perform and make your gm look like a genuis,then u know what? he deserves to be fired just for that..

your gm brings in a proven starter/scorer that comes off the bench in crawford,a crafty vet as in joe smith..re-signs bibbs and marvin,drafts a PG for the future that you still slack in developing,and you start off 11-3??

no buddy..you are supposed to be 14-0..
we had the lakers game,but you let that slip away into a outscoring 3rd qtr. of 34-18..we were 7 for 23 on 3 pointers,and the teams that beat the lakers do it inside-out..start with the banging with the big boddies that SUND brought in,instead we go for the 3&#039;s often and early especially in the 3rd of that game..


GM rick sund, is not particularly watching the games you are winning woody,he is watching the games you lose,and how u are losing them and when do you actually catch on that the game is getting out of hand..dats right,your reflexes..
you see,when you have vets in the game,then you can let them ride off of a staved attack or 4-6-8 to zero runs,and they know how to bounce back..but,you don&#039;t know how or better yet when to pull them to the side and see what they don&#039;t see because they are too much in the game..

just telling them to crash the boards is not enough..
in other words,ADJUSTMENTS..
they come too little and always too late..
even if we go to the nba finals with this team,its gonna be in spite of woody..and even then,he is gonnalose his job..

sund knows that this is a home fav team..and most of the victories will be at home..
its how u play and lose on the road he is looking at..
he is asking,
&quot;are they playing on the road like they are winning at home&quot;?

if not then,&quot;what are we doing different at home than we are on the road&quot;?

then,&quot;why aren&#039;t we at least consistent on the road,like we are at home even if we lose,why not the same confidence and level of play as when we are at home&quot;?


and guess what woody??
it starts from the top..
not the spirit or rick sund sir..
YOU!!
it will look pretty embarassing if we lose you to a firing even though we are in the playoffs..and your excuse will be what u did with this team over the past few years..
when u could have done more with your entire team,and show that u can develope players,and make them better..

your gm and others who are watching you,don&#039;t want to hire a coach that you have to tell what to do..develope bench,etc....
they want u to assess your enviroment and then proceed to tell them whats wrong,whats right,and what you can and will do..

so,if your thinking that u can walk into another situation and ask them to look at your record over the past 4 years and they will be impressed,they won&#039;t..

they will look at your starters,and then ask,what did you do with the rest of the team because it was your starters who carried you..

i know,i would be shrugging my shoulders too woody..</description>
