I am reformed. Might as well cheer for these guys. At least until the last month of the season when we need to tank to keep our lottery pick!

He likes KG.
He likes Foye.
He likes Torii Hunter.
He likes Bryant McKinnie.

Yes, as a matter of fact, he thinks we should trade yelp to yelp for yelp plus a 1st yelper.

It's taken me until now to gather my thoughts on this team. It'll be interesting to see the rankings from the different sources next Monday. We're definitely going to be middle of the pack.

Looking at it from Mwithers' view - this is a great thing. Playing the right way and creating a culture of winning is what keep teams like the Spurs on top while we're on the bottom. Perhaps this is how we begin to create a winning culture. I look at the Hawks and I see an org that toiled in obsurity like we have but suddenly turned it around by playing the right way and having some things go their way. We are a far cry from a playoff team and I wouldn't put money on us against Memphis in a seven game series. I would, however, say that there is a noticable difference in the past two weeks. McHale has obviously made that difference. Duh, Foye's not a full time PG. Duh, McCants has yet to figure out how to be an NBA player. DUH, Love shouldn't be playing 8 minutes a game. He's not a magician, he's simply making logical decisions, something we're soooooo not used to seeing!

Roundhouse on the other hand, is not an advocate for what he percieves as an illusion of competency. I can't disagree with it - to a point. Foye still has had 1 year and a half of mediocrity, it's silly to think 10 games makes a career. Additionally, at this point, outside of Al, Foye, and Love (maybe), it's not so apparent if any of this roster has any business being in any rebuilding plans.

The Daddy thinks there's some middle ground to be had. Foye is looking great (On offense). The best part for me is that I don't really enjoy AL a whole lot. This may give me another legitimate player to oust him in the elimination game next year.

Lastly, if anyone spews another word about "if we get the top pick it'll be stupid to pick Griffin we're already set there....blah, blah, you're stupid, blah" I'll cut my own achilles tendon and step in front of a moving box truck. The man is clearly the number one pick. To have valuable trade assets is a GOOD THING. Whether it be AL, Love, or Griffin - we'll get a piece to put in an area where we suck. This would preferably be at PG. So don't bother me with this tomfoolery every again. Thank you.

No need for me to get down, I'm cheering for us to win. That was a great victory, we looked like some semblence of a team out there. This wasn't your normal "beat the worst team in the league" win, we actually looked good out there. I think we can finally beat a team with a winning record one of these days.

Foye's playing really well right now, perfect time to trade him!!

Just kidding...kind of.

Yep, two games from now against Miami. Perfect team to beat... winning record, eastern conference, no scoring bigs on the roster to victimize Al Jeff.
