Terry forced to be honest about this Hawks

If you're Jason Terry, once the Hawks poster child for hope, how do you resist that urge? We're talking about that urge to stuff one of your extra-long sweat socks down your mouth to keep you from saying what you really believe about this mess.

The answer? You just tell the truth from your perspective, and Terry sees a mess.

"It's one thing to be optimistic, but then again, you have to be a realist at the same time," said Terry, the Hawks' fifth-year guard, struggling as much as his team. This time, he was just another guy behind the superior likes of Bob Sura, Chris Crawford and Jason Collier. He paused, adding, "It's just been a stressful year, man. I know my play hasn't been up to where my expectations are for myself. And then, with the team not doing well . . ."

He didn't have to finish.

It's a mess.
