I’m telling everyone on this board now if you don’t want to be disappointed again find a new team to support I’m finally going to stop taking these disappointments after disappointments. Only thing is I’ve got 3 teams in my sites to support one is Minnesota, OKC, or Spurs.
At least all 3 have better upside and are more entertaining to watch that this crapload of so called players.

The only way the Hawks can come back in win the series is get out and run, like they did back in 07. When they did run last night they got easy baskets. Josh, needs to stop trying to lead the break, give the ball to Teague and fill the wings. The offense has to keep moving, when Joe gets the ball, guys need to cut, and not stand around waiting for the pass for a jump shot.. Defensively, Teague and Hinrich need to tighten up on Rondo a lot more. I think Joe is having to work too hard on defense trying to guard Pierce. Marvin, u got to give me something on the defensive end at least.
****************
Are you out of your mind? Come back? Win the series? Where do these ideas even come from? These delusions?
We’re not winning anything. Haven’t you been watching? Until we’re rid of Josh Smith, this team isn’t going anywhere. Ever. How many more seasons of the same thing does it take to get that obvious point across?
Any idiot Hawks fan who pays one dime to go to that “game” tomorrow night deserves exactly what’s coming….a massacre. But at least it will put this joke of a team out of the playoffs so we can sit back and watch the other unheralded teams, THAT ACTUALLY SHOW UP AND PLAY, give it a go.

Who is the Hawks all-time leading assist man? Who is the coach of the Celtics?
The Best Leader the Hawks ever knew coaches the Celtics not us.

Man it’s funny that people will try to place any blame on Josh Smith for this bullcrap of a team.
We’re lead by the most overrated overpaid piece of sh*T player the league has ever seen been selected to 6 all-star games only because the east has no SG’s besides D-wade.
Yet you say this is Josh Smith’s fault you know what if Josh leaves fine, but I won’t watch the crap show that MR. ALL STAR WANNABE JOE JOHNSON will put on.
All blame should be directed to the 120 million dollar overrated man he was overrated when he began to disappear in the playoffs.

The Hawks need to break this team up and build it around either Teague and Horford or Teague and Smith. I would try to trade Joe Johnson to any Western conference team or the Brooklyn Nets for cap space, players and draft picks. I know its wishful thinking on my part but this team has reached its ceiling already.

This basketball season is almost over. I welcome that, the constant and painful reminders of WTF are they doing will slowly dissipate. When the draft comes I am hoping to see Josh traded for a mid to late 1st round pick. I know for you “JOSH” fans that statement is a crime but it will be the best for the HAWKS. Marvin is Mr. Amnesty as soon as the season ends. By letting those 2 players go will be beneficial for the HAWKS as far as; salary cap, getting a future bright spot and picking up some good talent with what remains on the roster. Hopefully the HAWKS will get a player with a basketball IQ for Josh because he is pitiful. There’s more to the game then fantastic dunks and points. Joe, Ivan, Zsa Zsa, Al, Jannero, Willie Green, Jason and hopefully T-MAC for another season along with a good draft pick and free agent and the HAWKS could be solid. Anything could be better then a premodonna who thinks he’s a guard, great shooter, turn over KING and all for self and I don’t have to mention a name, I just want to say byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee JOSH and don’t come back and take Marvin with ya.

The Hawks could have the number one pick in the draft and two picks in the second round every year for the next three years and in five years they’d still be right where they are: losing in the first or second round of the playoffs. If you think this team’s problems can be fixed by getting rid of one or two of its most productive players you know nothing about organizational management.
Until this team is sold or the ASG actually turns the team over to someone who cares what happens this can only get worse.

I have not read anything on the blog since before the game.
Matter of fact – I quit watching two minutes into the 2nd half.
When I heaped praise upon our team after game three;
I immediately followed with:
‘` they will surely disappoint`’
meaning: they are still the Hawks.
Now a couple or three points concerning what pisses me off:::
1. TBS announcers jumping on the 1st chance to announce;
‘` this is *embarassing* for the Hawks.
2. Pierce & Garnett [great players] diminishing their greatness
by showing the world what giant turds they really are.
*note – in my day someone would have put a stop to their **crap.
** diarrhea of the mouth.
3. Obvious Stern set-up;
biased offiating so blatant that even a caveman could spot it.
*** read Donaghy`s book !
Boston shot the lights out & Pierce was unbelieveable,
however the disparity in the way the game was called was apalling.
Further;
making an old school purist like myself wish for a Detroit Bad Boys
pummeling to take place on Pierce and Garnett`s collective ………..
head & groin.
We never had a chance:
Fire Stern !

I still don’t think Drew is the problem, at least not the biggest problem. The cold, hard truth is that you don’t win championships without superstars in this league. Really, you need two of them (the Mavs last year were an exception). The Hawks don’t have one.
LD guided a team to a 40-26 record that, after Horford went down, had pretty pedestrian talent. Joe and Josh are solid, but neither is a top-15 player in the league. Other than those two, it’s a roster of pretty unheralded guys.
Someone compared LD to Spoelstra. That’s right on the money. Spoelstra’s teams were pretty average until LeBron and Bosh showed up, and unlike LD, Spo actually DID have a superstar on his team in Dwyane Wade. I think LD, while he may not be perfect, has proven he’s at least as good as Spoelstra. That may sound like faint praise, but I don’t mean it to be.
It’s easy to scapegoat the coach, but everything we see tells us the NBA is a player’s league. The problems we have under LD are the same ones we saw when Woodson was here. What’s the common denominator?
The players.

Something is definitely wrong with this team! It lacks heart, pride, and back bone. Joe may be talented, but he is not the leader he’s being paid to be! I’m sick of seeing this team implode when in the spot light. Blow it up and lets start over. I know we will have to suffer through rebuilding but we are suffering any way. Like I always say to friends all around the country…it’s hard being an Atlanta Sports Fan and each year I’m moving closer and closer to the edge! The Hawks suck…blow them up and start over!

Oh by the way, I forgot about Jeff, he’s a keeper and as far as Joe Johnson is concerned the HAWKS did pay too much but it’s better to keep him now and get what he does bring to the table and he does bring a good meal more then not.

Game 4 the Hawks should go big..
PG- JT
SG- JJ
SF- TMAC
PF- JOSH
C- AL
Josh outletting to JJ or Teague can speed up the tempo. The ESPN crew said time and time again that this line would create so many mismatches in favor of the Hawks. I feel bad for Marvin but he should not be getting more than 15 minutes per game. Joe can pull some amazing stuff out of the hat but that whole dribble dribble BS wont cut it when the Celts defense is set. Josh..wow..i was upset how he played the whole game yesterday he simply looked bothered and it seemed that he threw in the towel way early(that Rondo to KG back door was proof) I believe the Hawks will push this to Game 7.
PS I HATE PAUL PIERCE!!THAT ARROGANT FOOL

Mookie, if the HAWKS could obtain a lottery pick for JOSH that would be great but in reality those teams see the same thing that we see and a team in sore need of talent will take their chances on the lottery pick but a mid to late round pick could yield promise. JOSH and his talent are on the decline rather then moving upward. He could help a team needing someone to rebound and play defense but then will he listen to a good coach. I think not an he will eventually be buying the “pine” time under a good coach. The HAWKS need to get what they can for him now.

At mid-season I was ready to Ka-boom !
Not anymore !
Also – Trading Josh may be one move that *’`could`’* be made;
it is not necessarily the best ?
I have brought forth the very same scenario.
But;
unless we can get the # 1 pick [translated] Anthony Davis
then perhaps anything else would be a crapshoot.
# 2 pick with Thomas Robinson becomes a 50/50 proposition
then after that = the law of diminishing returns.
Amnesty or trade for Joe is an absolute Must !
If someone would trade anything for Joe it would allow
the use of the amnesty clause for ‘`Marvin the useless`’.
Under LD Josh and Teaguer do not have the best -team- chemistry.
However, with a -new- strong coach Teague and Josh
would be a dynamic co-exist, including AL.
Currently the Jeff & Josh dynamic is at odds.
Josh has had a terrific year -but- he still must continue to mature,
he still must be reigned in, and he`s got to work on fundamental basketball.
Teague is getting there;
but he is Barbosa / Jet Terry[w/o the jump shot].
What a great combination he would be guarding the [1]
while in tandem with a SuperDuperStar pg … namely:
Steve Nash;
must come to the Atl !
Ridding ourselves of Joe & Marv would help to solve the
‘`monetary problem`’.
Nash would sell tickets and jersies !
He [Nash] would turn Josh & Al into ‘`Marion / Amare`’.
Also Zaza into ‘`Gortat`’ offensively !
-which leads me to-
Signing:
Omer Asik (overpaying a bit if necessary)
*[a perfect tag team partner for Zaza]
**[two Big tough nuts for the [5] position] !

That`s it for now, gotta go.

@ Joeygt1
Do you realize why people always say blow this up it’s because we are a city actually state of mediocrity you know from UGA, GT, Falcons, Hawks, and Braves.
At least with the likes of GT and UGA it’s much tougher to get to the Championship because what 125 others teams are trying to get there too plus before now there was no real playoffs lol.
With the Hawks, Braves, and Falcons though we have no real excuses there are only 30 to 32 teams in their leagues and not only that they’ve all been to the playoffs before with only 1 out of 3 getting a championship long ago that’s the Braves.

Yet you say this is Josh Smith’s fault you know what if Josh leaves fine, but I won’t watch the crap show that MR. ALL STAR WANNABE JOE JOHNSON will put on.
All blame should be directed to the 120 million dollar overrated man he was overrated when he began to disappear in the playoffs.
******************
And anybody who doesn’t believe that Josh Smith isn’t one of the MAJOR PROBLEMS with this team, I don’t know what team they are watching.
If you hate ISO JJ type of ball, you have to equally hate Mid-range shooting Josh Smith ball. One slows down the offense, the other leads to a missed shot and an empty possession 75% of the time.
If you blow the team up, BOTH have to go, because if you just keep one of them, they’ll continue to play the same way.
And another thing. Just like it is wishful thinking on my part to see JJ get to the FT line more like most superstars in this league do . . it’s wishful thinking that Josh Smith has a post mismatch against 6 – 7 . . 235 lbs Paul Pierce, who plays stronger and frequently plays the 4 vs bigger guys. The other thing is if Josh is even WILLING to play in the post like that?
The way Drew’s offense is constructed, is almost based on what the Celtics do. Move the ball around until you find somebody who can get a good mid-range shot. Problem is, none of our shooters are even close to being as accurate from mid-range, as the Celtics.
Mid-range shooting for the series:
Johnson: 38% on 16 attempts . . ( 24% of shots are mid-range jumpers . . 39% of shots are in the paint or at the rim )
Smith: 26% on 27 attempts . . ( 50% of shots are mid-range jumpers . . 44% of shots are in the paint or at the rim )
Teague: 0% on 9 attempts . . ( 17% of shots are mid-range jumpers . . 60% of shots are in the paint or at the rim )
Now what the hell is wrong with this picture folks?
You got our non-shooting PF taking 1/2 of his shots from mid-range . . while our PG is damn near living in the paint, with 60% of his shots coming in the paint . . while JJ, who is actually shooting around league average from mid-range, isn’t even taking that shot often enough, instead, settling for way too many threes and bricking them.
Teague is the only player on this team who has been offensively efficient for the most part, and has the highest win score/per 48 minute number on the team out of those 3:
Teague: .154
Johnson: .066
Smith: .044
If those guys ( Johnson and Smith ) are going to be that inefficient offensively, they better be selling out defensively. And when you don’t sell out defensively, things like the Game 4 blowout happen.

Well see ya Ray. Don’t let the door smack you on the (( bleep )) as you go.
While most of us are upset about last night, the majority of us are not ABANDONING this team. So go jump on the OKC or Spurs bandwagon. Just as long as you don’t come back to the Hawks, if by some chance they do turn this around.

Starts with ownership and runs down through to these all about me players. Been a ATL fan in all sports since 1969. Ownership has killed every team that has graced the ATL area up until Mr. Blank, man really does want to win. Just keeps hiring the wrong coach….Braves had Cox who had the old school theme of waiting for someone to hit a threerun homerrun.. Got out coached in four series , falcons, hawks, thrashers and flames all lack the desire to push themselves to the limit to win. Torre took the national league style to Yankees and won big time, do the little things that win games, Ted had deep pockets and gave Cox and John all the free lance they needed, mode bonehead trades and we are still paying the price for…Hawks Are sad simply because ownership cant get along and agree on anything. Joe Johnson is not and was not worth the draft picks and money they gave up tp get it him. Smith gonna do anything he wants, and the rest of the of our socalled power forwards just stand around and watch. Keep drafting power forwards please…love watching our players play flat and look forward to the off season has they always do. Just settle for making the playoffs seems to be the main goal for ALl of our sports teams. Could be why the ATL only has one championship, and it rated has the worse pro sports town in the World…

Don’t be blaming the damn coach when it’s obvious to everyone that the players are the ones not getting the job done. Phil Jackson couldn’t get this team past the 1st or 2nd round. As long as the Hawks are owned by the people that own them they’re going to struggle to get the best players and will have to overpay the ones we do get (Joe Johnson).
I use to think all we needed to do was win and then we’d get the players… well after 5 seasons making the playoffs in a ROW we still aren’t getting the players. If you had a choice of places to work the one with the shaky ownership would be the last one you choose to work for!! So:
Woohooo way to go…. we reached our potential AGAIN way to go Hawks… This is as good as it gets people learn to embrace it!!

Folks, forget about any bust up of the roster, forget about any big trades or free agent signings (Dwight Howard), forget about bringing in a new coach (D’Antoni), forget about the GM getting fired. Nothing of significance will happen because the ASG has no clue what they are doing. In hind sight we would have been better if Belkin had won out right from the start. Without competent leadership at the top this franchise will continue to flounder.
And anybody that wants to bash Atlanta as a lousy sports town, come live here for a few years and witness first hand the crappy ownership that we have been saddled with and the inferior product they try to push on us, and then tell me you are going to spend your hard earned money to go watch said product, instead of doing one of the 20 other things you could do with that money. Hmmm, do I want to pay to support my college sports teams, or the Falcons (who’s owner is a single entity that has proved he wants to win) or even the Braves who at least have proved to be a professionally run organization, or pay for my kids to play any number of sports, or go play golf at any number of great courses all year because the weather is great? Or do I want to pay for overpriced seats in a decent arena that isn’t being maintained to witness a crap product owned by a group of lying rich boys that have already run one franchise out of town with their ineptitude? The answer is easy.
It is just sad how the ASG/Hawks management has screwed us fans.

What’s really sad is that Mike Gearon will be coming out next week trying to tell us all how the team really had a great year and we should be proud of how they battled and exceeded the ownerships expectations, what with losing an All Star like Horford for almost the whole year and losing a great player like ZaZa for the playoffs. Hey, Joe Johnson made the All Star team again, and Josh is really a great player who should also have made the All Star team but was just snubbed, and Teague is an up and coming star PG. And Marvin, what can we say about Marvin?
Just so nobody ever forgets, the Hawks drafted Marvin over Chris Paul (or Deron Williams).
