Comments on: Short and Sweet http://hawksbasketblog.com/2010/05/10/short-and-sweet/ The Official Blog of the Atlanta Hawks Sun, 19 May 2013 19:00:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Hawksfanman http://hawksbasketblog.com/2010/05/10/short-and-sweet/#comment-981 Hawksfanman Sat, 22 May 2010 04:57:10 +0000 http://hawksbasketblog.com/?p=954#comment-981 Hawks need to make changes this season first off I heard Jeff Teauge is plannin on working hard this summer good because he has potential, we have two options either start over(trade joe jamal and smoov) and try to rebuild around AL which I dont think is a bad Idea, or work with what we have which isnt my favorite idea but is most likely: first off all current players must work on their game and conditioning this summer, 2nd make a smart draft choice(someone who will immeadiately impact us positively) and 3rd snag whatever good free agents we can find: Im thinking we sign Gilbert Arenas who will probably be bought out, unfortunately resign Josh Childress, sign joe back for cheap(10 mill), then draft solomon alabi, who will struggle but is way better than Jason Collins, then sign back Joe smith and try to sign Tyrus thomas. though idk if we could

1:Arenas/Teauge
2:Johnson/Crawford
3:Williams/Childress
4:Smith/Thomas
5:Horford/Alabi/Morris

But that line up happening is unlikely and it still has flaws so If we rebuild which I think is a better Idea we will probably be alot better Which means everybody is up for trade except AL i want to say smoov to but he makes it hard for the hawks to get a good center (Because he cant play the three) I like him hes a good guy and all but in the playoffs he was walking down the court when he got mad soooooooooooooooooooo. trade every body get some potential players and DP’s and well Se what happens!
Go hawks

Sure we are blowing our chances at a great post-season, but are we already forgetting the huge improvements we have made over the past 5 seasons since we went 13-69 in ’04-’05, not to mention posting our best regular season record since the ’96-’97 squad.

Coaches motivate players, players motivate other players, but how can a team stay motivated unless they known their fans are there for them? There are a few teams in the league that seem to excel year over year even with coaching and player changes taking place, but the one thing those teams have in common each year is a fan base that attends their games win or loss and doesn’t take every loss or blown series as a chance to badmouth their own team.

I have attended countless Hawks games over the past decade and will that change because they have had a bad post-season? No, I’m a fan and fans support their teams year in and year out. Do I want drastic coaching and/or player changes during the off-season? No, there are no quick fixes, we have made progress, and I’d rather not go through the ’99-’07 rebuilding era.

Stay positive and good things will come, continue to be negative and you’ll always be disappointed.

Go Hawks!

His comment on Saturday that he didn’t care whether the fans showed up or not is inexcusable. I’m a true Hawks fan and without season tickets have been to 20 home games this season. What a slap in the face dude!

These guys play like they don’t want a championship, they look like they ready to go home.

Joe Johnson is not a leader a leader on the court would help motivate and push these guys to play as a team and play hard.
