I am in a sour mood after the losses to OKC and NYC.  Who is to blame here?  The players?  Coaching staff?  Management/owners?  No superstar?  I'm left searching for answers.  Personally, I tend to lean towards the top of the food chain.  Let's have a round table discussion about the our beloved ASG.  I'll keep this short and sweet.  Please post ONE word you would use to describe ASG.  One word, one word only.  No explanations are needed.  Have fun!

If Chris Paul and Paul Pierce are really hurt, who is going to take their spot on the roster?  Who gets to decide?  If I'm not mistaken, I think it's the Commissioner.  Who should get those spots?  PP has a forward position and CP3 has a PG position.  I would love to JC and Smoove, but there is no way in hell they'll allow that many Hawks to represent the ASG.  Jeff Van Gundy said he thought JC should have gotten a spot on the roster and I tend to agree, but for motivation and reassurance, Smoove needs this more than JC.  Who do you think they'll pick?

Every time the Hawks play, I like to visit the blog sites of the opposing teams. More and more I see comments about how people like to watch this team play.  I think this is evident by more nationally televised games.  I even saw this on the Celtic's blog after our last game.  So what do you guys thinks?  Is it the highlight dunks of Smoove?  Is it Jamal's killer crossover?  Is it Joe's silky fall away jumper?  All of a sudden the national media is paying attention to the Atlanta Hawks and I'm curious as to why that is.

I was looking at blogs around the league and came across a youtube video of fouls that were called "incorrectly" on Boston during our last meeting.  Since when do the Atlanta Hawks get all the calls?  I'm not quite sure what teams they've been watching lately, but it's sure not Atlanta.  Boston has enjoyed the benefit of elite status for some time now. It's written in the rule book somewhere that Boston, Cleveland, and LA get all 50/50 calls.  Enjoy and try to keep the foul words at a minimum.  Lol

It appears that Acie Law IV will be reunited with Flip Murray.  Acie was traded yet again, with Stephen Jackson, to the Charlotte Bobcats.  Not quite sure what the GSW are doing, but I'm just glad it's not us.  I'm not quite sure what Captain Jack was looking for, but I would guess that it wasn't this.  I guess we'll have to wait until our next meeting.  We owe them a whipping!

Let me start off by saying that these predictions really burn me up.  But the one in particular that got my juices boiling is the one by Chris Sheridan.  He seems to believe we'll finish 7th in the East.  WTF!!  I left a couple of comments to show my displeasure with the piece.  BTW John Hollinger is being the usual Atl hater.  I wouldn't expect any less of him.
