im pissed,cause i thought u could have gotten further..
i don’t want to go Any further because my heart And emotions for the hawks would get in the way,and i would say things i would regret later..

so,i’ll reserve my comments until i have time to cool down..
A few things i heArd on 790 that i know im agAinst is..
1.i dont’ wAnt to get rid of bibby,i’d like to keep him for our half court gAme that will pick up stArting next year..
2. i do,do,do wAnt woodson out of here..
3. i made A comment on one of mr.bradleys blogs before the season started, about how the players go elsewhere with other coaches to work on their games during the off season..this should tell us all something about our coach and his staff..true some players do this on other teams,but,we had everyone who did do some kind of workout during the offseason,doing it with someone else..thats not good..

4.i want to keep josh, flip,bibby,joe,horford,marvin-only if they get him more involved into the offense when joe is also on the court..
And especially gardner/hunter and they have to play more!!!
And,unlike most of u,i think randolph morris would be a good sub for the center position,i would keep him..

mario west-no shot whatsoever but good defense/solo-because he is too soft to play center/mo evans/speedy-bless his heart/marvin williams-only because he is injury prone but i think he will be a good player and come close to being an all star for someone,and head coach mike woodson all have to go…every last one of them..

i see the starters And subs as
bibby-law
jj-flip
horford-power forward from draft
josh smith-othello hunter
center from free agency-randolph morris
gardner has to be put into the mix,i don’t care how u do it,at the sg position..he is that good..
the biggest question mark is acie law..next season,will be the year he comes in as the no.2 point guard and spell bibby..regardless of injuries in the past,we will know what he made of come this november..

we’re gonna need 5 players..2 free agents at center and power forward..And,3 more rookies to draft to take over as replacements for bibby,joe,and either flip or josh smith after come at the end of the ‘09-’10 season..

wanna know who i like??
1.At power forward–
One of the more improved prospects in the country as far as production goes, Gani Lawal is having a strong season for the Yellow Jackets, leading his struggling team in scoring, rebounding, and field-goal percentage, while more than doubling his production from last season. The 6’8 athletic power forward’s offensive role has expanded, and while he still would be described as raw in many areas, he’s shown improvement in quite a few from last season. There are not many players in college basketball who offer his combination of length, athleticism and activity level at the power forward position, which makes it fairly easy to envision him developing into a useful complimentary NBA player as he develops down the road..

2.At shooting guard–Robert Vaden-UAB

Birthday: 3/3/85 NBA Position: Shooting Guard Class: Senior Ht: 6-5 Wt: 205 Hometown: Indianapolis, IN High School: Cathedral Team Site Profile Statistics
NBA Comparison: Keith Bogans
Strengths: Deadly three-point shooter with quick release … Unlimited confidence from beyond the arc. Gets in a zone and is truly unconscious … Can catch fire very quickly and is hard to cool off, just ask Kentucky who he scorched for 28 second half points including seven 3-point field goals en route to a 79-76 win at Kentucky Has a solid midrange game and uses pumps and fakes well to free himself up Terrific free-throw shooter at >80% for career Has solid size for his position Field goal percentage is in low 40’s but because over two-thirds of his field goal attempts are 3-pointers, its not a major concern Moves well without the ball and gets to areas in which he can get a solid look at the basket Has a calm demeanor. Plays very mature, composed, not easily rattled … Has some leadership skills … A solid athlete though nothing off the charts …
–Weaknesses: Can be too reliant on the 3-point shot, making him too predictable and easier to guard Should improve his ball handling skills and look to attack the basket more Needs to cut down on turnovers Developing a balanced attack of an inside/out game would be beneficial and would enhance his great shooting abilities….Plays in the lackluster Conference USA which besides Memphis doesn’t really have a high level of talent to challenge him Lacks great foot speed both laterally and his first step off the dribble His lack of great lateral speed could inhibit his ability to guard shooting guards on the next level At 23 years of age is two years old for his class (mainly because of year he had to sit out because of transfer rules) As a shooter he is definitely NBA caliber, he just needs to work on rounding out his overall game to maximize his potential for the next level…

THATS ALL I GOT..
WHO WOULD U LIKE TO SEE IN A HAWKS UNIFORM NEXT YEAR???

So much for your “validation” of Woodson as the Hawks’ coach. If anything, Woodson showed that he couldn’t get this year’s team to come close to the play of last year’s team, which forced the eventual champ Boston Celtics to 7 games. In a series with Cleveland, Atlanta lost all 4 games by double digits, including both at home, where the Hawks beat the Celtics 3 straight last year. We could argue whether this year’s Cavs’ team or last year’s Boston team is better, but what is clear is that this year’s Hawks’ team didn’t play near as well against the Cavs as they did against the Celtics, but then this team has been woefully inconsistent throughout most of the year, despite having a better record than the year before. If beating Miami were to serve as validation for the job Woodson has done for the Hawks this season, then the Hawks would have been a much sterner test for the Cavs. The fact that the Hawks lost to the Cavs in 4 straight games, all by double digits, including 2 losses at home, shows that the Hawks’ series win over an undermanned Miami team, was nothing but fool’s gold, not validation of anything!!
