Ambot kinsa na.. Murag ang taga TNT na nga tig photoshop nila.

Luoy bitaw ang Hawks, gi boohan sila sa crowd halos tibuok game. Can't blame them.

Although pagka human sa duwa they got some applause from those who stayed in the arena.

Most likely.

Woodson has kept the Hawks at a steady improvement throughout the years... from 13 wins in 04-05 to the latest 53-wins. And he has kept the same game play for the most part, or eventually stuck with it:

- iso Joe
- switching defense

The thing is, this type of offense is good for the regular season pero when it comes to the playoffs, coaches can figure out their play and make adjustments for the next game. For the Bucks, pilde jud to ang Hawks kung naa lang si Bogut because coach Skiles has figured out Woodson.

As for Johnson, it's a good thing he refused to sign the contract extension kay aron sad maka-huna2x ang front office kung siya ba jud ang kinahanglan sa Hawks ron. I'm just hoping for the management to start spending cash to turn this team around... and it starts with hiring a new coach and get depth.

I know Woodson has taken this team to where it's at right now, but I think somebody has to take it to the next level now.

^^ oh well who could that next guy be? the one who will take the hawks to the next level...

[inc-pankz]

maypa mag ilog mong bush, haha

^^ oh well who could that next guy be? the one who will take the hawks to the next level...

I'm hoping they try and lure Celtics defense guru Tim Thibodeau. At least try lang unta ug samok2x ba. Wa ta kahibawo, basin mokagat diay.

Nets Have Received Calls About Harris



If the Nets land the first overall pick, and in turn Kentucky's John Wall, current point guard Devin Harris might become available.

Although New Jersey hasn't ruled out playing the two together in the event they draft Wall, president Rod Thorn has already received calls about Harris.

"I can't lie about it," Thorn said. "I've had calls about that."

The Hawks, Heat and Pacers may have interest in Harris.

Sund: Players Need ‘Another Voice’ After Six Years of Woodson’s

Goodbye Woody

The Hawks decided not to offer coach Mike Woodson a new contract.

Woodson coached the Hawks for six seasons. The team improved its record in each of the last five years, including a 53-29 record this season that was fifth-best in franchise history, but GM Rick Sund decided the team needs a new leader.

“It was a hard decision,” Sund said. “When I analyzed and looked at it, I went round and round. Finally I think it got to the situation where the compelling thought is, ‘Maybe change is good for everybody.’ That happens quite a bit in the NBA. Maybe the players need to hear another voice, and maybe Mike needs to talk to another group.”

“It was rough starting out, but everything was smooth sailing a couple of years ago once we finally figured out what we wanted out of each other,” Josh Smith said. “You just hate to see somebody you came in the game with leave like this.”

---------

Six years. I've watched the Hawks grow and improve after a 13-69 season that struck me the most as a Hawks fan. Woodson has kept the Hawks atop the Eastern Conference in the regular season in his last two years.

It's all been good Woody. I appreciate the work and all. It's just so bad that it will all come down to this. But it's time to move on.



The bar has been raised and change is imminent.
