		<description>Sports Fans of Atlanta, find another sports writer to follow.  As this writer knows nothing about the game.  Or if he does know the game, he must have a hidden agenda.  I am an avid NBA fan just visiting your wonderful city.  But I made the mistake of reading this newspaper article that was criticizing the past years performance of Mike Woodson.  I was shocked.  In my opinion, Woodson has done an outstanding job and here is my opinion, why I think so.  Simply said, his record has improved every year, from not making the playoffs (which the Hawks did not do for many years prior to his arrival) to round 1 last year (taking Boston to 7) to making the 2nd round this past year.  

Now here the most important part, he has accomplished these successes with basically the same team.  In fact, very possibly, they could have gone further had not been for the injuries suffered last playoffs, most notably by Marvin Williams.

So what does this idiot reporter expect, to go playoff-.less one year and directly to the finals the next?    Woodson is a seasoned NBA coach whose training came from over a decade in the NBA and who was trained by some of the most prestigious basketball minds ever in basketball (Bob Knight, Larry Brown) not to mention the various coaches that Mike Woodson has worked or played for in the NBA.  

So Schultz sports readers,  you should find your basketball news from another source.  A source that is willing to give you an unfiltered version of Atlanta pro basketball.  This Schultz guy has either been jilted by the NBA or Woodson and is willing to further his own personal by writing articles that further his own personal agenda.  Or he is simply just another idiot that has no knowledge of the game.  

Just before I sign off, I will give you another example of why this guy Schultz doesn’t know his business.  During the year last year, there was a well publicize spat between Woodson and his star but young player, Josh Smith.  This spat was basically a minor incident that should never had made the news.  But that being said, this idiot Schultz took the position supporting the young Josh Smith.  What is really lacking on the Atlanta team is team leader within the players themselves.  What would have happened on a Lakers or Bulls or Celtic championship team of years past,  is that the team leader (player, not coach) would have nipped that conflict in the bud very early and basically told Josh to bluntly “put a cap on it”

But the current Hawks players are silent leaders, as a result this conflict made it to the public.  But how do you take the side of a player with only a couple years of NBA experience, no college experience, fundamentally challenged and immature over that with Woodson credentials? 

 I’m not saying the Hawks should trade Josh, but please recognize, he needs many years of training and gametime experience to develop.   Also keep in mind, he is very inexperience and does not yet know what is needed to win an NBA championship.  Championships that Mike Woodson has already accomplished in his basketball career.

So, as I said before, I was just passing through your wonderful city, and read this silly article.  Shame on Shultz.  

I hope you Atlanta Fans can see that Mike Woodson is doing a good job.   And now I frequently go and see Hawk games on my visits when possible.  And today the games are good games because the Hawks now can play with any other team in the league.  

So distance yourself from taking the views or reading the articles of this guy.  Remember, it’s one of 2 things that are behind these articles.  He simply doesn’t know the game or he’s just another bitter jilted member of the press and is not willing to give a real and fair assessment on Hawks Basketball.  He is a fiction writer.   Either way, he cannot provide  you real and actual information on Hawks basketball, because he is not an insider.    That may be why he is angry.

		<description>if this was new york the ny post would have drove him out 2 years ago,last season was his first winning season. he doesnt get along with his players except jj. his offense is pathetic,the one thing i hate is getting blown out of a game early which happens way to much &amp; i blame him for this. our offense has no flow,no ball movement. i dont think our defense is much better.we win because we have good players. i do not think that jj is an allstar, i think he has to play within the flow of the team. i think in the last two seasons that he has regressed. i also blame woodson for this. i cant stand how we play offense with no ball movement</description>

		<description>Dos Hawkquis, the Hawks could replace Woodson with a high school coach for a lot less than Woodson is costing them now.  ANY coach can tell the players to just give it to Joe.  Maybe, Sund should trade Woody for a player to be named later.</description>

Sorry, no can do. But you can contact Truth Serum. He might be able to help. But don’t tell him you’re white. You might get gibbered at, then chased around the yard with a sharp stick.

Look smart alec, I understand that you are a fake black man who pimps racism to get your jolly on. Im white and I know that counts for something with you. I just want my job back. Keep up the hate on Coach Woodson and then when guys like Mike Vick or O J  ask you who do you think should be the coach you plug and play my name see. Its a complicated scheme that can be between you and me see...</description>

		<description>Jeff Shultz, I am still waiting for you to post your resume. Be truthful on why you are not with your previous employer. I would also like for you to list your salary for each job and tell me about any accomplishments and achievements. Please note any recognitions . Let&#039;s even discuss how you received your job at AJC. (Probably networking with a friend or another former co-worker. I doubt very seriously that AJC recruited you and said &quot; Oh please Mr. Jeff, will you come and write stupid things to spread poison and negativity in the community. We need someone to be as disruptive as possible because foolishness is what we want to market.

Sure , I would love to have lunch with you. I just so happened to solicit a pay raise and a job committment based on what I did last year and guess what &quot;I GOT A RAISE AND A COMMITTMENT !!!&quot; GO FIGURE !</description>

Are all these guys that disagree and are tired you your attitudes truth serum? I see how you deal with your problems. Get real.Im sorry if you disagree. But you guy have been spewing this garbage for over a year now. Its old and it stinks. Lets move on.

		<description>Ken Strickland, 



Thanks. Normally, I don&#039;t like to get into religious topics with people, but that misuse was just too much. I can deal with the name-calling and statements that show a lack of cognitive development or capability. I deal with that every day on the job. What gets me is how you or anyone else can be a racist because we aren&#039;t in love with Woody....when we&#039;ve openly campaigned for guys like Marvin Williams, Josh Smith, etc. Correct me if I&#039;m wrong...but aren&#039;t those guys black as well? And I don&#039;t know about you, but I&#039;ve had this dark skin since 1977, when I was born with it. 

One of this country&#039;s founding fathers said something that applies here: &quot;A fanatic is a person who won&#039;t change his mind, and won&#039;t change the subject.&quot; 

I think we&#039;ve both established that while we don&#039;t like everything about Woody, we would still rather see him succeed with this team, than fail with this team. The failure of one is a failure for all. And we&#039;ve also both stated that Woody more than deserves an extension if he can continue to experience success this season, particularly if this team narrows the gap between us and the Big Three. Only a person both blind and consumed with hatred would miss all the things we&#039;ve discussed on that subject. 

And I think you&#039;re right: a true multiple personality doesn&#039;t have any idea about their other personalities. 

That would explain the post by &quot;Just checking in&quot;, now wouldn&#039;t it? Strange how they both post exactly the same way, context, form, and everything. 

I&#039;ll bet if you looked at the IP addresses of both posters, the number would be the same. 

As for Snowman, well...everybody needs friends. Even crazy people.</description>
