^^^ What's wrong with taunting? It pumps up the team when a guy does something like that. Of course we don't want Al to step over the line and get a T, but I've got no problem with him talking a little trash to keep himself focused. Personally I love Al's swagger on the court, and I hope he keeps talking.

I like how we are playing right now. Props to hoopsguru for realizing that this team was not falling apart as many of us felt a couple of weeks ago. I guess coming back home really does cure all of our problems.

so do i, the attitude he brings to the team is pretty invalueable.

Its laughable that people are calling him the hawks 2nd best player tho. He might devolop into it in the near future. But isnt yet, and hasnt been all season. not even close to the 2nd best this season.

Can the Hawks win a game without someone saying Josh, Marvin, or Joe need to be traded?

Nope that's not possible
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.

I'm fine with screaming, trash talking, even the flexing thing. The problem is when he points at people when they get dunked on. He does get T'd for that and it fires the other team up. It's no more productive than arguing with the refs.

I can only remember Horford getting T'd once for the pointing thing. Surprisingly. I agree it's kind of a lame, though.

Can the Hawks lose a game without someone saying Mike Woodson needs to be fired?

No, but at least those complaints usually make sense.

You can't read a thread on this board without seeing someone saying that Woody needs to go.
