Come on now, Boris can PLAY. The only time the Suns were competitive in last year's playoffs were when they got desperate and started running their offense through him late in the series. And he was a STAR when they ran the offense through him in the playoffs a couple years ago with Amare out. Those of ya'll that are hating on him (because we gave him away for no reason) need to step back and recognize the guy has some serious talent.

I never saw Boris in the post when he was here. Of course some here (not directing this at you) would surely be able to come up with a good excuse for that. after all it is a players league and the coach doesn't have much effect on anything.

:D I agree! (do I detect a small hint of sarcasm?)

I never said Diaw was a bum. He is a good defender and a very skilled passer....however he is unlikely to ever play as well over the course of a full season as he did in 2006 regardless of if he's starting or not.

I hated Diaw when he was here but clearly a better coach could get more than 4 ppg out of him. He isn't a 4 ppg player.

I am watching the end of the Cats-Bulls game right now. The Cats are up 105-101 in ot. they only scored 79 against us even though Diaw got off. Okafor has 19/12 with 4 blocks.

The Knicks have averaged 108 ppg in the 5 games since they played us. they only scored 95 against us.

The Hawks are 7th in the league in opponents ppg and 8th in the league in opponents fg percentage even though Smith missed 12 games.

Diaw is an okay piece. He's not worth anywhere close to $9M though. Just one of many screwups by the Suns over the past few seasons and look where they are now.

Return to Atlanta Hawks
