Hawks update, this weekends picking contest continued and Veterans Day Tribute

So the Hawks start out 6-0 and everyone including myself is feeling good about the team and the new offense. I am not going to bash them everytime they go on a losing streak and play poorly but I am going to call them out when they play this bad. Im sitting here with a good ole fashioned American BrewHAHA and watching them get absolutely drilled by the Bucks. I mean this is an absolute ASS kicking. Brandon Jennings is playing like no one is guarding him, Joe Johnson with his typical unassuming 13 points where you can barely tell he is even playing and Josh Smith turning the ball over everytime he tries to make a move to the basket.

I know it is early on but this is starting to turn into the Hawks under Mike Woodson. Lots of standing around watching Joe dribble around doing nothing to take a bad shot and hope we might get an offensive rebound. I know this is only 1 game but Im hoping it doesnt escalate into something more. I was pleading with the Hawks management to let Joe walk and resign Crawford to a 3 year deal. That would not tie our hands with the contract Joe signed which is just obsurd. You could make Jordan Crawford the off the bench scoring weapon and have some money to make a move down the road.

As I am writing this Jordan Crawford is looking like an offensive freak. Jeff Teague is pushing the ball everytime he gets it and the Hawks look great. To bad they were down 29 going into the 4th! Another beef I have with the Hawks offense is when things start to get dull and the shots arent falling we need to push the ball like madmen. Every starter is young and can run. You have maybe the best finisher in the league in Josh Smith yet I see the Hawks consistantly walking the ball up the court.
