Title: Dont sleep on my Hawks!
Post by: the.SET on November 09, 2008, 08:08:56 PM

yea yea I know its early in the season, and I know they havent really played anyone accept NOH, but we are 5-0. J-Smoove is hurt so we gotta prove we can beat some good teams coming up in the schedule without him. Of course the Celts are the favs in the East, but I think we can be a big player in the East as well if we keep up our defense and JJ keeps playing like an allstar. 8)

Yeah they've surprised the hell outta me! Looking real good early on! They play my Bulls on Tuesday though so I'm hoping we got your first loss to hand to you then.  8)

And dont sleep on JJ's defense. Because his game is so laid back, he doesnt receive recognition as a great defender, which he is.

BTW, what a pickup Flip Murray has been so far 8)

Murray + Evans = Perfect replacement for Childress.

If we had a dominate (defensive) center that would move Horford to PF and Smith to SF, than we could be unstoppable in the East. I just worry that we are a tad too small to be a threat when it counts.

I think they're better off with this small line-up...they like to run a lot.
