Cassell and PJ Brown are worthless, Doc shouldn't play either one of them more than spot minutes. I never understood everyone was hyping up these acquisitions.
No their really not. They definitely do have attribute that can contribute to a winning team. The problem is that Doc keeps them in too long, even when they aren't contributing the way they should.
My Starting 5:

PG: Allen Iverson
SG: Paul Pierce
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Kevin Garnett

That last play by Atlanta was what they need to do every time. Boston is doubling the ball-handler, no matter who has the ball. How do you beat that? Quick, crisp passes, and a spread offense. Don't even think about getting close to another Atlanta Hawk on the floor. SPREAD OUT and PASS.

That's why Marvin Williams just got a wide-open baseline jumper.

Maybe it's just me but it looks like KG is actually getting into Smiths head. Or at the very least is forcing Josh to play way outside his comfort zone.

KG needs to stop talking. Too bad he didn't play against Tim Duncan more so he knows his place in the world.

Horford and Smith got only 5 points but 7 turnovers, Joe Johnson looks all alone out there since Bibby just sucks now.

Yup TD sure would destroy KG as evident by what he did to Hornets front court. Seriously, TD is better than KG as a player. TD's the best PF of all time. However it's not like TD makes KG look like 5 year old. Especially considering the fact that when it's all said and done KG could possibly be second on the PF list.

I'm told Josh Howard was seen leaving the Hawks locker room.

Atlanta really needs a coach with any type of offensive system.

We must be the worst road team of all time. The difference in the games is remarkably unbelievable. It's downright (Please Use More Appropriate Word) how bad our offense looks on the road. I mean this is just bad, without JJ we'd probably be in the teens at halftime.

Atlanta needs some shooters. I see why they can double team Joe Johnson is being so affective, because no one else can shoot the basketball.

That should be their mission this off season

Note to Atlanta:

This is not high school, it's the NBA in the shot clock era. 26 point halves are almost impossible to accomplish.

The 76ers and Hawks just do not have half court offenses. Probably why they finished the regular season sub-.500.
