New Jersey will vote on changing its medical marijuana laws that could make it easier for sick children to gain access to the drug.
The Assembly is scheduled to vote on Monday, September 7 and according to Ken Wolski, Executive Director for the Coalition for Medical Marijuana in New Jersey, the change would allow alternative treatment clinics to have types of cannabis mostly likely to help patients with different conditions.
The measure would also eliminate a regulation that allows licensed dispensaries to grow more than three strains of cannabis.
Advocates say that will allow growers to provide different types of marijuana that could help people with specific medical conditions, including children.
Wolski said research has found that different strains can help with different conditions and symptoms as some can control nausea and others can control pain or reduce convulsions.
Last month, Governor Chris Christie issued a conditional veto and agreed to end the cap on the number of strains that growers can provide and to allow them to sell edible forms of marijuana to young patients.
However, Christie struck a change that would have let sick children get medical pot with the approval of just one doctor, just like adults. Now, they will need at least two doctors or more in some cases, to sign off.
The state Senate has already adopted the governor's version and the Assembly is will now vote on it. If the Assembly passes the bill, it goes back to Christie for his signature.

Can we prove Aristotle's "Prime Mover":Everything that happens is caused by something else?Then what caused the first cause?
The cause of the universe might be eternal, thus eliminating the need for a cause. As people have accepted the Big Bang Theory, so this objection has fallen out of favor.
It is worth pointing out that time is an aspect of the universe,without the universe, there is no time. It has existed at every point in time and that at no point in time has there been no universe.
1.Everything that exists or begins to exist has a cause?
2. Universe began to exist therefore it has a cause "the first cause" or was the matter already present that caused it?
4. If it was the first cause then what caused the first cause?
Closing Statement from Sunny Qureshi
The Debate was a mixture of philosophical and scientific arguments presented by members.
The question still remains unanswered as both schools of thought were inconclusive on the God or no God debate.
The problem is of the fact that both atheists and theists are both opposed to each others "belief". Even in science, hypothesisation which is a kind of belief that has not been proved exists.
This debate and other debates will remain inconclusive unless and until a Collaborative stance is not adopted by the two.

João PintoFeb 22 2012: Before answering you I just would like to say that this is a great talk you brought up and is a question that is been "bothering" me for a long time. Sometimes I asked if no one ever tought of that.
To me it's a very trouble question. I mean, let's face the Big Bang Theory. Where did it come the heat and the material that originated the explosion. We know that material and energy doesn't disappears, it transforms, renovates (Law of Conservation of Matter and the Law of Conservation of Energy).
If we face the The Circular cycle it stills doesn't answer our question. The Universe didn't started with matter and energy already created.
I can't even answer my self and I doubt that anyone can. It's very hard to even to talk about it and explain how we think about that.
I now leave another question;
Having such a hard question, do we need do know the answer to this problem like many others questions, instead fixing and working for other problems that are real and possible to solve in our own world?
Feb 22 2012: Thank you Joao Pinto for your comments in the Debate, I believe we all have a purpose in life, for some it would be fixing problems of the present, and for some understanding life's purpose. And yes this is an unending analogy but understanding the cause can help us learn our purpose of life. I wonder may be this life is just a "Trial" in which at least i do not want to end up on the wrong side.
João PintoFeb 23 2012: I agree with you about our purposes in life, but I figured it out that we give our own purpose to our lives, we give sense to them. We choose our ways and decide what we want to do and how we give our contribution to mankind.
And the "trial" in this world you mentioned, that´s quite a problem, I ask myself the same thing.
Feb 23 2012: I´m just saying that everything has a cause. If we face the first cause, the starting point, what was the cause of that?
Ex.: It was A that created the universe, and it was B that created A, and it was C that created B, etc, etc.
Every cause has is own cause. How is it possible that the first cause has been originated with no cause?
Feb 23 2012: Thank you Sr. Pinto! This is what I have been saying too. First cause makes no logical sense. The problem is not in the answer, it is that the question is incorrect.
Whenever you have a cause, you always have an antecedent cause.
So for instance, the big bang theory. If all matter was glumped together in some gigantic mass that blew apart and became the universe, how did matter get that way? Maybe matter blows apart and re-aggregates in some big bang cycle. Maybe matter just keeps flying into infinity until it runs into some more matter from some other big bang to aggregate once again. Even in the big bang theory, there would have to be an antecedent cause.
As I said in a previous post for those that believe that God is first cause. As if by magic, it must be God.
Both explanations (God and big bang) are very similar to a child's response when they do not completely understand yet. Both are part fantasy.
Feb 23 2012: @ Mr. Brown. So? Those books were written by people with the wrong question too. Just because something got printed doesn't make it true. Just look at tabloid rags.
Unless, of course, you assign belief to those books and then we are back to the fantasy part.
From a previous post of mine:
Jan 14 2012:
Creation stories have been around since the dawn of man. Because no one was around when the world was created, we can reasonably be sure no one really knows how it all started. Because no one really knows how it all started, humans developed creation stories. These creation stories became a way to explain to outsiders what the values, morals and beliefs were of the people that created the stories. When two groups of people came together in the past, the exchange of creation stories was part of the diplomatic exchange as different peoples got to know one another.
Feb 26 2012: Dear linda we understand your "cause and effect theory" being a " Circular theory" meaning that the cause and effect occur on that which has always existed so there is no need for the "first cause theory". This would include time. But there is usually a time delay between cause and effect,. Circular time is such a large circle it only appears linear from our viewpoint. I hope this clarifies people "who believe that God is first cause. As if by magic, it must be God." as per you.
By the way how can you say/speculate or know the "creation of stories by people" with regards to religious books? Whats faith then? or even Blind faith for that instance?
Feb 26 2012: "Whats faith then?" I have been trying to figure that out for a long time. If you find out let me know. I am continually amazed at what people believe. Perhaps it helps them make sense of the world.
For instance, the idea of circular nature. That is a very ancient understanding of the world and frankly, for me, the only one that makes sense. But for some people, it makes sense that God created the earth in seven days and they believe it.
I guess faith gives us structure to chaos, the Illusion of control.
I would not say that I believe in circular nature. It is just a theory and one that makes sense. I am always looking for other theories and enjoy the exploration. Understand also that in the past, creation stories were just stories. Nobody actually believed in any of them. That is a recent phenomena.
Feb 28 2012: @ linda "Who wrote the Bible" is a question that can be definitively answered by examining the biblical texts in light of the external evidences that supports its claims. 2 Timothy 3:16 states that "All scripture is inspired by God…." In 2 Peter 1:20-21, Peter reminds the reader to "know this first of all, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, … but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God." The Bible itself tells us that it is God who is the author of His book.
God does not leave us with just claims of His divine handiwork in the Bible, but also supports it with compelling evidence. The design of the Bible itself is a miracle. Written over more than 1,500 years by vastly different writers, yet every book in the Bible is consistent in its message. These 66 books talk about history, prophecy, poetry, and theology. Despite their complexity, differences in writing styles and vast time periods, the books of the Bible agree miraculously well in theme, facts and cross-referencing. No human beings could have planned such an intricate combination of books over a 1,500-year time span. Bible manuscripts (remember, there were no printing presses until 1455) have survived despite weather, persecution and time.
Feb 28 2012: Interesting Franciz. The book itself says that it comes from God. So I can write some stuff down and say that it was inspired holy work coming from God and you would call the exact SAME process blasphemy.
Oh I agree completely the book is incredibly old. And people were able to copy very accurately because they took their work seriously. A scribe was a pretty important guy to be and had a work ethic.
And the whole no human can plan a 66 chapter book thing. Actually there were entire counsels that planned the book. The council at Jerusalem. The council at Nicea. Couple more that I forgot. They went through it with a fine tooth comb. 'This we keep, this we get rid of.' In fact, I think there may be some records somewhere documenting the process. I don't follow that closely.
But Egyptian hieroglyphics were too. So were Mayan. And some of them claim to be from some god too. And they were pretty consistent. I am sorry but your compelling evidence is not so compelling.

The proposed high-pressure natural gas pipeline that National Grid wants to install along Service Road has drawn the attention of the school committee.
The committee has voted to send a board member to a hearing with the Energy Facilities Siting Board later this month to speak in favor of moving the proposed pipeline.
At Wednesday night's meeting, committee member Nancy A. Crossman said that the board should be concerned about the pipeline and the safety risk it poses to students in the Sandwich schools.
"We have buses that travel this road, the Service Road, every day with our students, hundreds of students, multiple times a day," she said. She also noted that the high school is nearby, as is Corpus Christi Church, the evacuation center for the schools in the event of a disaster.
Several residents spoke to the committee about their concerns over the pipeline.
School committee chairman Andrea M. Killion said that while student safety should be a concern of the board, the role of the school committee is to set policy, and the pipeline is not a policy issue.
Member Marie A. Kangas responded that the school committee needs to be an advocate for the students.
"If there's an issue that can affect our students, I think we need to get out there," Ms. Kangas said.
Daryl A. Crossman of Telegraph Hill Road noted that the buses and the safety of the school children riding on those buses is "within the purview of the school committee."
Mr. Crossman is Nancy Crossman's husband.
He also noted that "a number of parents wait outside their homes for their children coming home from school."
Robert J. Doherty of Noel Henry Drive also worried about the safety of students traveling along Service Road in school buses.
"This a serious thing for the town. The last thing the town wants is a headline in The Boston Globe that says 25 school children killed in Sandwich from a gas pipeline explosion," he said.
Kathleen E. Shaughnessy, who lives on Service Road, told the committee that she has a granddaughter who will be attending kindergarten at the Wing School in the fall. Ms. Shaughnessy said that the Energy Facilities Siting Board hearing later this month is to "choose the most cost-effective and convenient location for National Grid to install its pipeline."
"We need someone there to speak to the safety of our children," she said.
National Grid has proposed installing 23,000 feet of a 20-inch gas line that will begin at the Spectra Energy Station across from the intersection of Route 130 and Service Road, and runs along Service Road into the town of Barnstable. The gas line will be laid on the north side of Service Road, about 15 feet into the buffer between the road and the Mid-Cape Highway.
The proposed construction has angered some residents who are concerned about have a high-pressure natural gas pipeline located so close to their homes.
On February 28, the Cape Cod Commission gave its approval to the project. During that meeting, some residents mentioned the natural gas explosion at a restaurant in Kansas City, Missouri, in mid-February that left one person dead and more than a dozen others injured. Other residents mentioned that there was a gas leak in their neighborhood last Thanksgiving Day that trapped them in their homes for hours. Many said they were concerned that if a gas line exploded, they would not be able to escape.
The Energy Facilities Siting Board has scheduled a hearing on June 26 in the auditorium at the high school to hear from the public on the issue of the proposed gas pipeline. The next school committee meeting is scheduled for that same night. Ms. Crossman asked that the board either reschedule its June 26 meeting so that board members could be free to attend the Energy Facilities Siting Board hearing, or that the board agree to send a representative, preferably the chairman, to the meeting to express the committee's concerns about student safety.
Ms. Killion said that she had no problem with the board sending a representative, but she felt that her main responsibility is to attend and monitor the school committee meeting.
Committee member Travis M. Andrade told the committee that when he arrived for Wednesday night's meeting, he was skeptical that the location of the pipeline was within the committee's purview. He said that his training in the Army Reserves has taught him to always consider risk assessment, which is two-fold: likelihood and severity. Mr. Andrade noted that the incidence of deaths caused by pipeline explosions in the past year is very low compared to other reasons, which means that an explosion is unlikely. Severity, however, would be high, destroying the town's ability to operate, he said.
"It's unlikely but it's severe and that's enough that people should be concerned," he said.
Mr. Andrade offered to represent the school committee at the hearing, with the provision that anything he says at the hearing would have to be approved by the full committee first.
The board voted unanimous approval to have Mr. Andrade represent them at the June 26 hearing.

NEW YORK (AP) - New York City residents, get ready to recycle again.
The city Sanitation Department announced Friday that it will resume picking up paper, cardboard, metals, plastic and glass for recycling Sunday.
The collections were suspended after Superstorm Sandy so the city could repair some recycling centers and assign sanitation workers to pick up storm debris.
On Sunday, the city will pick up recycling from places where it's usually collected Saturday.
Regularly scheduled Monday recycling will be picked up this Monday, though the day was originally scheduled as a holiday in observance of Veterans' Day.

Arthur Hellman Quoted in Washington Post on Judicial Confirmation Battles
Pitt Law Professor Arthur Hellman was quoted by the Washington Post in an article on opposition to some of President Obama's judicial nominees by members of the President's own party.
One nominee who has aroused opposition is Michael Boggs, nominated to serve on the federal district court in Atlanta, Georgia. According to the Post, Boggs "supported keeping the Confederate emblem on the Georgia state flag; backed measures that would have required parents to accompany a daughter to an abortion clinic if she was younger than 18 and would have posted the names of abortion doctors and how many procedures they had performed; and voted to ban same-sex marriage."
Hellman said it is rare for a district court nominee to inspire such opposition because such judges lack the power and reach of circuit court judges.
"You have three red flags there in one nominee, so it creates this huge controversy," Hellman said. "These fights are more important to the outside groups than to the senators, but because they're important to the outside groups, they become important to the senators."

Plan Ahead for Hurricane Season
Hurricane season started this month, and it is important to be ready for the worst if you live in an area that can be affected by hurricanes. NOAA's Climate Prediction Center is predicting six to ten hurricanes this season and half of them are predicted to be a Category 3 or above. Make sure you and your family are ready with these tips from FEMA:
Create an Emergency Kit:
Look around your house ahead of time to know what things should be in an emergency kit such as a flashlight, first aid kit and water and food for up to three days. Get a full list of recommended items at www.ready.gov.
Discuss a Communication Plan:
When a hurricane strikes, you may not be with your family. Having a plan ahead of time will allow for less panic during a storm. Decide on a way of communication, where you will meet and make sure everyone knows what to do in case of an emergency.
Track Storms:
The National Hurricane Center can help you track storms online or on your mobile device. Stay alert to know what is coming your way.
Be prepared for hurricane season with more tips from Ready.gov.

While the Route 79/Braga Bridge Improvements Project is by far the largest and mostly costly transportation project in the region, others ranging from Plymouth Avenue reconstruction to Interstate 195 resurfacing and bridge replacements over the Coles River and over Route 24 in Berkley will keep work humming and challenge drivers over the next year.
Kevin Cassidy, Massachusetts Department of Transportation Dist. 5 chief construction engineer, at a recent Route 79 public forum, briefly outlined and updated five other key projects ranging in cost between $4.1 million to $10.5 million.
All five projects are active in Greater Fall River, requiring combinations of lane shifts and driving modifications, now and in the future, Cassidy said.
Among two particularly unique ones includes the superstructure bridge replacement over the Coles River in Swansea that requires crossover routings of traffic over the I-195 median, starting late this summer.
The $10.5 million project involves removing the entire deck system, including structural steel beams, and replacing them with new steel beams and a prefabricated concrete bridge deck.
The work will be done first on the westbound side late this summer to early fall, and on the eastbound side in the summer of 2015 with a completion date of Sept. 19, 2015.
For nine-day periods this year and next year, a portion of I-195 westbound, then eastbound, straddling the Cole River, will be closed. Motorists will be routed to the opposite side where there will be two-way traffic, and then back over the median into the regular traffic flow, Cassidy explained after the hearing.
Using the breakdown lane and expanding the three-lane highway to four lanes, two in each direction, during the nine days of the two phases, will accomplish that.
Crews will be working 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to demolish the existing bridge structure and install the new one over those nine days, Cassidy said.
Construction is beginning now to install the first crossover from the westbound side that will be used late this summer. When the westbound bridge is complete, the crossover road will be removed.
"We'll do it all again next summer," Cassidy said, referring to the crossover from the eastbound to the westbound lanes and bridge replacement over the river on the eastbound side.
What will be especially unique with replacement of the Padelford Street bridge over Route 24 in Berkley is that what's normally an 18-to-24-month project will be completed in a scant eight weeks, Cassidy said.
It will be done in such quick fashion by prefabricating the bridge units in Fort Miller, Pennsylvania, and trucking them to the site for installation after clearing and utility relocation work is completed, he said.
Detours will begin the last week in June, after the school year is over, by closing Padelford Street and detouring traffic onto the Route 24 North Main Street interchange in Freetown and the Route 140 interchange in Taunton.
Page 2 of 2 - The $5.6 million bridge project work will be in process through July and August, with reopening and removal of detours in late August, Cassidy said.
The other three local projects Cassidy updated were:
• Plymouth Avenue reconstruction and related light signal work. The $7.3 million, two-year project is about half-completed. It involves road rehabilitation from Pleasant to Slade streets, including curbing and sidewalk work and rehabilitation of 10 signals along the stretch, currently being done. Daily lane closures continue, with one lane kept open. Completion is scheduled for April 2015.
• I-195 resurfacing and related work on guard rails and barriers, from Government Center for approximately two miles easterly, including access ramps. Pavement milling and paving is underway at night, with a June 23 completion date on the $6.2 million project.
Motorists will see nightly lane closures for milling and paving between 7 p.m. and 5:30 a.m.
• Seekonk to Dartmouth traffic and guide sign replacement on I-195/Route 24. Sign replacement on I-195 from the state line to Exit 11A in Dartmouth, and Route 24 from the state line to I-195. The $4.1 million project should be done by May 15, 2015.
Motorists will see lane closures during the day and both lane closures and rolling stoppages at night to install overhead signs and structures.
Cassidy said District 5, which encompasses southeastern Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the islands, is an active one with 85 construction projects underway. He said the $197.3 million Route 79/Braga Bridge is nearly five times the cost of the next largest project, the $41 million Lagoon Pond drawbridge replacement between Tisbury and Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard.

Social Anxiety Disorder
Social anxiety disorder is a psychological condition that causes overwhelming fear of situations that require social interaction or performance in front of others, such as public speaking. The fear often triggers physical symptoms such as blushing, rapid heartbeat, and trouble concentrating, and it may interfere with activities of daily living.
A person may fear almost all social situations or just a few specific situations. Treatment includes professional counseling and sometimes antianxiety medicines or antidepressants.

1. Companies that We Recommend Strongly. VERY SOLID ****.
2. Industry Stalwarts - Companies with Extensive Experience -- Mostly with Good Reputations. ALSO SOLID ***
3. Not Recommended - Open and Operating Companies with D to F ratings at BBB (or deserve special inclusion). TREAD CAREFULLY. *
4. New Companies - Since 2008 -- NOT QUITE SURE YET. **
5. Dead Tax Resolution Companies - R.I.P.
How do we reach our conclusions when rating tax resolution companies? Our research and analysis is based on a few things: first, what clients or potential clients share with us about their experiences of these companies, second, what their BBB listing tells us about the company and third, what I read on the internet about the company - discounting of course the nature of internet complaints. Naturally, we have a self-interest to portray Washington Tax Services, our company, as the best. But we truly try to resist this bias as we review these companies. When we find tax resolution companies that genuinely seem to serve people and provide value to them, we want to acknowledge them.
1. Companies that We Recommend Strongly****:
1. Washington Tax Services, Seattle, Washington, since 1989 --
Call us -- 1-888-282-4697
This is OUR company. Our website is HERE We are 25 years in the business of tax resolution and representation.
Washington Tax is:
1. Affordable
2. Experienced and Knowledgeable about the Most Complex Tax issues.
3. WATAX has an Efficient Tax Resolution System Designed to Take Good Care of our Customers.
Our A + BBB record is here: BBB record - Washington Tax
2. Instant Tax Solutions, Idaho/Santa Monica, since November 2008.
Call them at 1-888-246-2999
You might recognize Instant Tax by their strong presence on the internet. The good news is Instant Tax delivers on their promise. Their customer service infrastructure is Four Enrolled Agents and four CPAs and a support staff of 32. It is clear to me that this company is guided by integrity and honest practices. Their BBB record verifies that: BBB listing Also as fellow Northwesterners, I have personally met the owners and I know that they take their client's best interest at heart. Here's their Website.
3. Tax Defense Network Jacksonville, Florida, since November 2007.
Call them at 1-855-233-4232
Tax Defense Network (TDN) has the enviable position of being - in my opinion - the best internet marketer of tax resolution services in the U.S. They also are a company that clearly is in this for the long haul as demonstrated by sales representatives who conduct ethical and honest interviews with their potential customers -- rarely overpromising to get the easy sale. Their solid BBB record is also indicative of their commitment to good service BBB record - TDN. I have spoken extensively with management of TDN and they impress us as a very well-oiled machine. In fact --they have an actual office - which researches every case to determine if the cases are viable - before money changes hands (!). They only take on cases in which they can provide value and cases that they don't take on they forward to the appropriate company or professional that will. That kind of quality control is awesome to see in this industry.
TDN markets itself better than anybody. I can't verify this - but I think that TDN is NOW the largest company in the U.S. specializing in tax resolution. The fact that they have grown to their massive size and maintain quality control is not an easy feat to pull off. Here are some of the websites where clients find TDN: Tax Relief Center IRS Tax Settlement Tax Relief Alternatives or thru a Consumer Reviews site: Consumer Tax Reviews Site. The Consumer Reviews site is not their entity. However - as they are ranked #1 - there is obviously a special relationship between the two. On a final note - TDN charges a premium for their good services, BUT with the quality of their service - I can't knock them for that.
2. Tax Resolution Industry Stalwarts - Companies with lots of Experience and Mostly Good Reputations
3. Not Recommended --- Companies with D to F Ratings at BBB (Or who deserve special inclusion)
4. New Companies - Since 2008 -- The Verdict is Out
5. Dead Companies: R.I.P.

According to NBA.com, a little over 6 days and 14 hours remains before the NBA deadline is up. Normally, most Atlanta fans would half-heartedly lament the lack of rumors surrounding the Hawks, or talk of unrealistic trade proposals. Not this year. Since when is a winning record and a mere 1 game out of 4th place in the East cause for such alarm? Since when does a guaranteed playoff spot leave such feelings of gloom and doom?
Do we as Hawks fans not appreciate the team's 34 victories in 55 tries? Or is it something else?
Good teams do this, Good teams do that…
It has gotten to the point where nearly every Atlanta win comes with a handful of caveats. Well, at least if you're reading the blogs and what not. But it's not just local fans and media. It's everywhere. Why? It's now just about who you beat. It's also about who you don't beat. The Hawks may have a better road record this season, but they are 6-13 against teams with winning records. Needless to say (and I'm going to say it anyway), this does not bode well for the postseason. Good teams compete well against other good teams. The Hawks have not done that this season, for the large part. Good teams find a way to overcome injuries to regular rotation players. The Hawks have done that this season. Good teams know their identity and their gameplan. The Hawks act like they can only remember this for a game at a time, and sometimes only for a quarter at a time. Are the Hawks a good team, or simply one with a winning record? Like all things, this is debatable. But it's going to be hard to argue 6-13. It's just not what good teams do.
As usual, there isn't much going on out there about the Hawks and who they might like to acquire. The lone bit of noise being made has to do with alleged interest in Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ramon Sessions. It's hard to see how Sessions would make the Hawks instant or even eventual Eastern Conference Championship contenders, and adding him is a subject of some debate as well. While some stat experts can show that Sessions has issues on defense, could he really be worse than Mike Bibby or Jamal Crawford? Interestingly enough, there isn't much being said about his offense, which certainly has its moments. The Hawks aren't likely to get better at the point guard position through trade or free agency, but maybe that's not the bandaid they should reach for right now. Maybe they should focus on having a guy who can drive the ball to the basket, find his teammates when the defense collapses, and shoot from where he knows how to shoot. Is it the total package? No, certainly not. But with Bibby's lack of penetration and Jamal's lack of "makes his teammates better", maybe the Hawks should settle for solving one problem instead of continuing to strike out on two of them. Is Sessions worth the pursuit? Can the Hawks do better? What do YOU think?
Rock the boat, don't rock the boat
The only thing worse than a dejected fan is an apathetic fan. If Hawks management and ownership can't see this, then they are blind, deaf, and dumb. But that's precisely what is happening. Gone is the team that defended home court with a zeal not easily matched last season. In it's place is the same guys, but the passion appears to be missing. Larry Drew says the team has become too comfortable. Is he not part of this comfort level? General manager Rick Sund needs to rock the boat. He needs to rock it hard enough that the occupants think it's going to capsize and begin holding on for dear life. But, this is not Sund's way. The problem is that the entire organization seems quite well lulled to sleep. Even the finger pointing has all but stopped (sans Al Horford's recent post game comments about not getting the ball enough). Perhaps nothing is worse than having one of your team captains say that everything is alright, when so many things clearly are NOT alright. Don't tell Drew, but I think some of the players (too many of them) are still drinking the koolaid. Things only get worse after the all-star break. The Hawks only managed to sustain a single winning streak of longer than 3 games this season, and the schedule has been rather favorable. What are they going to do against all these winning teams that are coming up?
Time to rock the boat, Rick Sund. The occupants are mostly asleep, and the ship's captain looks like he's contemplating abdication.
So will the Hawks stand pat once more? Will they make any move of significance? Does anybody in the front office even care? We'll know soon enough.

The rediculous idea that JTeague can't shoot the 3, or is a below par shooter from the perimeter, is a perfect example of people believing what they hear others repeat, rather than doing any research and thinking for themselves. Here's a perfect example of that: BIBBY(TEAGUE)
2PTFG% 43.8%(43.3%), 3PTFG% 44.7(40.0%). Somehow, this extremely lame and unjustifiable excuse has been put in the minds of those looking for any lame excuse, and is being repeated to promote Bibby and crush Teague. Otherwise, how can anyone continue to believe that a .5 difference in 2PTFG%, and a 4.7 difference in 3PTFG% makes Teague an awful shooter and Bibby the absolute bomb? WHERE'S THE DAMNED LOGIC?
All that's needed at this point is for LDrew to stop being an excuse making A$$ and give Teague the same opportunity that Bibby's been given. Except in Teagues case, it will be an opportunity to show what he CAN DO, while Bibby has used his opportunity to consistently demonstrate what he CAN'T DO.

Another trade I proposed on the other blog, which would really shake things up…is Josh Smith and filler for Nene and filler.
Nene can play Center, which would allow Al to play PF full time. And Josh would instantly become Denver's best PF (and I think his game would improve under George Karl).
Nene has a player option for next year, and would probably not want to stick around if Denver trades Melo and starts rebuilding, so Denver might trade him too.
He is injury prone, so maybe Denver can sweeten the deal a little bit, although they would still have to work out another trade for a Center.
Another option I thought about was Chris Kaman (who is expendable due to the emergence of DeAndre Jordan). But Kaman is just as injury prone, and I think he has 2 years left on his deal, whereas Nene only has one.

Saying the Hawks are a Ramon Sessions away from moving into being a real contender in the east is like saying Donald Trump is only a casino away from sweating Bill Gates on the billionaire list.
It might be a minor improvement, but it doesn't move the meter.
If you believe that then you probably believe the only thing that is stopping the ASG from being great owners is getting 100 more paying fans/game.
This is Sund rocking the lifeboat while it is locked into position on a cruise ship.
No hate for Bibby. How much did you really expect from him? Has he gotten worse since last year? I see the problem as no improvement from Teague, Joe & Jamal having a (temporary?) performance decline, limited success on the off season strategy of min salary big men, no real bench improvement beyond Wilkins who was only added due to more injuries/health problems this season.
I still give more credit to Orlando for taking a risk to move up than standing still with a group they didn't think could win. This isn't NASCAR where you can win a title by coming in 3rd every week. This is the only excuse I'll give Sund–if he cannot make a significant improvement, there's no need to trade for the sake of doing something.
Back to the shadows…
February 18th, 2011
1:25 pm
I think Sund does care because his job is on the line in the long run but it's ownership that seems not to have their head in the game. I don't see the Hawks making any big moves and LD isn't going anywhere anytime soon. For the most part what you see is what you get with the Hawks and from a fans perspective there is no real hope in sight? The Hawks will probably win 48 – 50 games and make playoffs as 4th or 5th seed but nobody including the Hawks believe their is much hope for a deep playoff run. So what you get is players playing for their paychecks and nothing more and money can only motivate so much.

Good points all but Hawks only need two players… strong PG and a real, center sized center that can run. After that, they should stick to an up tempo game and use the half court game less – Hawks have consistently shown they are best in an open court game. Drew needs to MAKE Josh stop standing in the corner and move him around. Joe needs to accept his role as the leader or handle the team…why let Horford do it? If he can't, move him and his contract and use what you've got.
Play on if you want to stay on!

When the Hawks hired Billy Knight, he was the least expensive hire available. When the Hawks hired Woody, he was the least expensive hire available. When the Hawks hired Sund, he was the least expensive hire available. When the Hawks looked for players, they look for the least expensive hires available.
See a pattern?
February 18th, 2011
1:40 pm
Some radio reports out there say that the Nets and Nuggets have a greed a trade… just waiting for Melo to agree to the contract terms. Once the deal gets done, I expect several trades to pop in the next few days. Guys may be trying on different uniforms during the AS weekend (it would be kind of funny to watch Melo start the game with a West uni on and finish with the East squad).

So Derrick Rose scored a career high last night, huh? Who was checking him, Bibby? Surely some other slow-footed PG. Quick PGs never give up a lot of points.
February 18th, 2011

OBRIEN-The point is, Jordan isn't playing at all, no matter who he's playing behind. Here's the bottomline. He's young, he's a rookie, and it appears that LDrew seems to share the same stupid bias that Woodson had toward players that fall into this category. We have those who are stuck in the past with their constant references to who we COULDA, SHOULDA drafted.
But the fail to factor in the fact that if we had drafted DWilliams, or CPaul or BRoy, we definitely wouldn't be seeing the All Star performers we've seen over the last few yrs. After all, they too would have been inexperienced rookies sitting on the bench and definitely receiving the WOODY TREATMENT. Woody felt CPaul was too small and DWilliams was too plump, and with JJ playing ahead of Roy, he would have gotten the WOODY TREATMENT as well.
From the time of MWoodson's first draft to the present, we've developed only 4 players, and 3 of them or current starters, PF JSmith, SF MWilliam and C AHorford. The 4th player was swing man JChildress. The approach Woodson used with these players was to give them plenty of mins, let them make mistake, and develop as they learn from their mistakes. As a result of that approach, we have one 2 time All Star(AHorford), one All Star caliber performer(JSmith), and one of the NBA'a best 5th scoring options, and who plays good DEF. And JChildress develop into an annual challenger for the 6th MOY award.
The approach Woodson chose for his guards, which is being repeated by LDrew, is what I call the WOODY TREATMENT, and has yielded absolutely nothing. The Hawks are in the 7th yrs since Woodson was hired, and we're still having serious problems at PG because of this absolutely STUPID and UNPRODUCTIVE approach. The only thing we've managed to develop, from using the approach towards rookie guards that Woodson started and Drew has continued, is more of the same unresolved problems we started out having at PG.
February 18th, 2011

The hawks should have started Teague a month ago. Then they would have had enough time to see if he can run the team. If not then make the trade for Sessions.

I couldn't agree more with you Mr. Strickland. That ole saying "doing the same thing and expecting different result" applies to Drew and his handling of his young guards.

DAP01-I wouldn't consider JJ THE LEAST EXPENSIVE HIRE AVAILABLE, nor would I consider MWilliam, ZPachulia, MBibby, AHorford or JSmith as the LEAST EXPENSIVE HIRES AVAILABLE.
LDrew, along withRSund and the ASG, must stop making excuses and start making changes, and they have about a week to get it done. Here's what I see as the difference between MWoodson and LDrew.
1-LDrew actually gives a damn about the OFF, which seems to be about the only thing he seems to give a damn about, and MWoodson openly admitted that he didn't.
2-Woodson wouldn't acknowledge recognition a problem even if he knew it existed. LDrew does acknowledge his awareness of a problem, but while he'll offer up potential solutions, we usually end up getting little more than lip service and excuses.
3-LDrew has proven to be a bit more flexible than Woodson in his willingness to make adjustments and utilize his bench.
Other than these 3 issues, I don't see enough of anything else that significantly separates the 2 HC's.
February 18th, 2011
2:43 pm
It is a fair question to ask why Josh Smith is camped-out on the 3-point line when he is playing PF. In contrast, do you see Horford camped-out there when he's playing PF? No, Al is at his sweet spots. If Josh is out of position then it's the coach responsibility to point that out and make adjustments. If he doesn't, then LD should share the blame for Josh's ill-advised shot selection. Often I wonder does Josh really see LD as his HC or just a continuation of Woody's assistant playing the HC role. Perhaps that assistant coach rapport is still there and has not been broken to explain Josh consistent defiant of LD's instructions.
February 18th, 2011
2:46 pm
KS: I agree, my point should have been that the decision makers are always the "cheapest hire".
Where is this franchise headed?
February 18th, 2011
2:49 pm
So LD has yet to really assert himself as HC respect to Josh Smith (it's seem). This falls in the area of leadership or lack there of.
February 18th, 2011
2:55 pm
The Truth, Josh shoots 3s because he wants to. Al doesn't want to (yet). Evidently the head coach of the Atlanta Hawks is unable to dictate the shots his players take… so he is at the mercy of their wishes. We should all be grateful that Zaza and Twin and others don't want to take 3-point shots.
February 18th, 2011
3:19 pm
The problem with the Hawks is we should have kept Mike Woodson. How can you fire a coach that have improved every year. We are what we are. A second round team. Well, we were last year. Now we are a first round team. Not to mention, we wont win as many games as we did last year. Drews job will be on the line early next year. When we are sitting in 8th place midway through the season
February 18th, 2011
3:20 pm
"so he is at the mercy of their wishes."
That maybe "The Truth" but the coach control PT
Ideally, you would think one action (shooting ill-advised or untimely 3's by the player) would be synonymous with a reaction (allocation of PT) which is controlled by the coach. But since this team is not the ideal NBA team with so many subpars on the bench, perhaps LD hands are tied. On a better team with a good bench, such repeated defiant actions by a player would land him in the doghouse.
February 18th, 2011
3:24 pm
Woody hired LD to be his lead assistant. While that doesn't mean that they agreed on each and everything, it likely means that they have more in common than not. Imagine that you are offered your dream job and need to hire a staff of people to ensure your success. You may hire people who have different perspectives to get a good diverse opinion but my guess is that you would share more in common than not. Over the six years, it is certainly possible that they could have "grown apart" and differed in some of the key elements of managing the team, but there was something in the DNA that brought them together initially. Anyone who expected something radically different shouldn't blame LD, they should recognize the error in their own thinking. Woody came from the Larry Brown coaching tree. The ASG hired someone from Woody's personal branch. If you wanted a head coach who would play rookies even while trying to win 50 games and secure homecourt advantage, then you aren't likely getting that from the Larry Brown tree. Some of y'all seem mad that the tiger has stripes when you should be trying to figure out why you would expect a tiger NOT to have stripes.
February 18th, 2011
3:58 pm
So AJ, all that you are saying is the Apple doesnt fall far from the tree. That is true. Ill give you that. My problem is giving up on Mike Woodson after this man brought us from the gutter. (10 years of losing) But the Thrashers made the same mistake years ago when they had a good team, Now look at them.
February 18th, 2011
4:00 pm
PLEASE trade Josh and Zaza to the Timberwolves for Kevin Love and Darko. A front line of Darko, Horford, and Love would destroy every team in the East except for Boston and they better be ready to play! Then send Bibby and Jamal to the Suns for Nash. Without Bibby, JJ might move a little and he would have no more excuses. Nash could teach Teague how to play in the NBA and Jordan Crawford could begin to develop a little with some playing time! Either deal throw in Marvin if needed! Please Rick get us some players who show up every night and earn their dollars! By the way if the Knicks panic after the Melo deal send them JJ for Galinari! That would sure free up some cash!
February 18th, 2011
4:21 pm
Atlanta gets:
Monta Ellis
Golden State gets:
Josh Smith
If you listen to the ESPN podcast The B.S. Report with Bill Simmons, then you might have heard him mention this trade in one of his recent podcasts. But honestly, this is a fantastic trade and the crazy thing is that it really helps both teams.
Each guy is making around $11 Million this year, so they could be traded heads up for each other and according to the NBA Trade Machine, both teams get better after the trade. Atlanta is predicted to win seven more games and Golden State is predicted to win three more.
February 18th, 2011
4:37 pm
Guys this is not fantasy basketball. The Hawks are not going to make a major trade. Josh, Al and Joe are going nowhere… Other trades may include us taking someone else's trash for out trash. Also, it was time for Woodson to leave, but as AJ says, hiring LD is an extension of Woody except for the great "motion" offense….
February 18th, 2011
4:40 pm
If the Melo deal goes through, I think Denver will have a firesale, and alot of dominoes will fall. However, I dont think the Hawks will do anything regardless…
As for LD and Woody, I thought it was interesting that at his press conference, LD said (and I might be paraphrasing) that as an assistant, all you can do is give suggestions to the HC. And then the HC decided what he wants to do. So he was implying his suggestions were being ignored by Woody.
And I can see some of those suggestions being play the bench more, get the team to pass more etc. Unfortunately, we have lost games because LD left the bench in there too long, and the motion offense goes away in crunch time, and we get jumper happy.
(imo), LD is only a minor improvement over Woody (so far).
February 18th, 2011
5:16 pm
Veteran Fan, why would we trade away players that have been to 3 straight playoffs, for players who may never make the playoffs. Also, THE TRUTH, Josh Smith is needed more than M. Ellis. Marvin and Za Za need to go. The Hawks messed up by not getting Shaq. He could have cleared up 4 needs.Fans,a center, Horford moving to the Pf, and Josh moving to the Sf.
February 18th, 2011

Get Roddy Beaubois from the MAVS.Dude can play
February 18th, 2011
5:22 pm
DAP01-That's a darn good question.
To elaborate further on my earlier comment about people who listen to others and ASS-U-ME, rather than doing reseach and finding out for themselves, are only looking for excuses.
We continue to hear the claim that JSmith and JTeague can't shoot and should be prevented from taking 3's. Well, here are the facts:
1-JSmith's 3PTFG%(348%) ranks THIRD(3rd), behind MBibby's .447% and JTeague'S .400%, among all Hawk players that have taken more than 1(ONE) 3pt attempt.
2-JTeague ranks 2nd in 3PTFG%, among all Atlanta Hawk 3pt shooters.
3-JSmith's 476FG% ranks 2nd, behind AHorford's 568FG%, in overall FG%.
So why in the devil would anyone have a problem with JTeague or JSmith shooting 3's, or shooting period for that matter? AGAIN I ASK, WHERE'S THE DOGGONE LOGIC?
February 18th, 2011
5:33 pm
Ken Strickland,
Thank you for posting that.Josh smith has up his overall game a lot.IDK WHAT these bonehead fans be talking bout he needs to stop shooting.He is usually wide open or at the end of the shot clock.How is a wide open shot a bad shot i ask again?
February 18th, 2011
5:50 pm
I have figured out why we don't move forward and make needed changes.
We have lost our basketball expert, because no way does any team do what this team did in the offseason and be content with those moves.
Gearon nor Sund are experts, so don't expect them to all of a suddenly light a fire.
February 18th, 2011
5:50 pm
"Get Roddy Beaubois from the MAVS.Dude can play" –
If they can get that guy, he can go!!! He is third string, but I will trade Marvin for him in an instant!! The salaries may not work, but the Hawks need to make them work.
February 18th, 2011
5:51 pm
Zaza and Twin camped out at the 3 point line – the vision of that is priceless.
J Smoove's stubborn, dog-headed approach to the game is his biggest drawback. While him being headstrong has paid dividends in him developing a decent long range game, that same stubbornness has kept him from attacking the rack, posting up defenders, and crashing the boards when his camping out from 3 and spreading the floor have proven ineffective…I recall before opening day, J Smoove telling the media he would stick with the midrange and not many 3's – so much for that. Horford needs to continue to harp on his lack of touches. Raise some Hell in the locker room – respectfully, as a true leader should. Its an issue that needs to be addressed and resolved.
February 18th, 2011
5:55 pm
Man Man you are right about Josh Smith shooting 3s. The problem is, he is a inside out player and not an outside in player. A lot of his 3s are bail out shots. Take that thang to the bucket and get folks in foul trouble. When he take 3s, Horford is left inside to grab rebounds by himself. Josh needs to be on the boards. Thats the same problem my high school coach was having with Derrick Favors when he played at my high school. He thought he was made to shoot 3s. But he soon learned the value of driving to the basket
February 18th, 2011
5:57 pm
Ellis for J. Smith also goes on the list for DUMB trades. Guys again, the Hawks have to get a project and turn it into gold. Again Beaubois is the third point on Dallas. Thabeet only plays garbage minutes. Give up the exception and Marvin and we have a great deal! We are not getting 'a center ie Dwight Howard' for ZaZa, Etan, Wilkins, blah, blah, blah… just because the Hawks are playing Al out of position. Again, this in NOT the biggest need. In order..
Although by addressing 3, you can fix two. We need a defensive minded center to block shot, defense and rebound, that is why I am high on the 7′3″ Thabeet. Memphis is as mad at him, blowing a 2nd round pick on him. This deal makes the most sense. Also for all of those who have given up on Teague. A couple of seasons ago, Mike Conley was looking like a pure bust. He is looking better every year and I bet by next year he will be considered among the top point guards.
February 18th, 2011
6:06 pm
To The Game has Changed The rest of the eastern conference is getting better and we have not improved! If the goal is to make the playoffs, then of course stand pat, because there are enough weak teams to let you get in! But if the goal is to contend then we are in a world of trouble! LD said it best when he said they are complacent and comfortable! Teams rise and they fall, you must keep your eye on the prize to make sure your team is rising! This group has peaked and make too much money for the results and the fans know it! Josh wanders the floor and has never developed a consistent game because he refuses to work on his weaknesses(refusal to box out, ignoring his defensive assignment to sneak around and block shots, arguing with the officials on every call, inability to pass effectively, free throws, and outside shooting). He is a gifted player without being a true professional and it hurts the whole team! JJ is lazy and unmotivated period. I have never seen a player with his size who plays below the rim when we need his size and Bibby feeds into his problems by only passing to him. By the way how many playoffs has Nash been to versus Bibby and Jamal? Darko is not great, but he does have the size to contend with Shaq, Boozer, Noah, and Howard when we need it and he does have an offensive game. Kevin Love is incredible with a complete game and an intense rebounder, brings it every night! Galinari for JJ frees up a ton of money to either draft or attract a center in the off season and he is a similiar type player, who would shine with Nash for a couple of seasons. The point is it is time to put a team on the floor who works hard every night and contends! No one expects us to win a championship, but it is vital being a fan to CONTEND and this team does not!!!! Also, to Ken Strickland, if you think 34% for three pt accuracy or 47% for a strong forward when the center who doesn't shoot beyond the free throw line is at 57% is great for Josh then you do not realize his potential if he played like AL!
February 18th, 2011
6:33 pm
Teague and Josh are left wide open for their 3s. Teams dare them to shoot those. JJ, Jamal, Bibby, and to a lesser degree Marvin/Mo generally have to shoot them with a hand in their face. That's because other teams recognize that they can live with an uncontested 3 from Teague or Josh. They can't live with an uncontested 3 from the other guys on the Hawks who shoot them.
To Teague's credit, he does not usually give into temptation and pull the trigger on the 3 unless it's late in the shot clock and he's wide open. You can't say the same about Josh. Which is why teams are giddy that he started off the year shooting sufficiently well from deep, because now he thinks he's a sharpshooter from out there and is actually shooting MORE of them now (2.7 per game so far in Feb) than he did earlier this year (1.3 in Nov) despite the fact that his 3P% has fallen off significantly since the new year (.302 since the new year and .211 so far in Feb).

The Game Has Changed
"Josh Smith is needed more than M. Ellis"
Agreed, I just posted that link to inform bloggers about the chatter around the league. So that is not my recommendation. I have been and still am a fan of Josh, but his obsession with proving he can shoot is both a blessing and a curse. Yes he shoots 47.6% FG and 34.8% 3PT from the perimeter, but that's not the flaw. The flaw is the 52.4% FG and 65.2% 3PT he misses (not to mention his high TO ranking) come during critical times in the game that cause the team a setback. His quest to be a "one-man" hero is the source of the problem. He said it himself that he is out to prove to all the EC coaches that they made a mistake in not selecting him on the All-star team. I like the cause but I don't like the effect.
February 18th, 2011
6:53 pm
@ The Game Has Changed and Niremetal, do you think Smoove will ever get it? Favors 'got it' in highschool!
@ Big Ray – the proverbial 'boat' needs a rockin'. I am ultimately open to regime change. Drew treats defense like Woody treated offense – Dumb and Dumber…but realistically I am open to acquiring Sessions and of Thabeet. We could relegate Bibby to our resident assassin off the bench and 2nd unit floor leader eventually. We could nail Zaza or to the pine or ship export him to Memphis. I wanna visit his eatery next time I am in Atlanta but his game has regressed – not even a 1 star.
February 18th, 2011
7:00 pm
Glue – not nail Zaza to the pine. That did not read right.
February 18th, 2011

Imagine that you are offered your dream job and need to hire a staff of people to ensure your success. You may hire people who have different perspectives to get a good diverse opinion but my guess is that you would share more in common than not. Over the six years, it is certainly possible that they could have "grown apart" and differed in some of the key elements of managing the team, but there was something in the DNA that brought them together initially.
Your efforts to compare the various components of the business of basketball to your experiences in other walks of life are consistently amusing and interesting, but rarely on-point. First off, the head coach doesn't have exclusive say over who his assistants are. The front office usually has more than a little something to say about that (just ask Doug Collins in Chicago or Phil Jackson when he got to LA). For the "grown apart" thing, it's clear you aren't very well-read when it comes to basketball memoirs. Everything I've read (and the few guys I've talked to who've been in the business) indicates that the exact opposite of what you indicate is the rule – you far more often see coaches hire guys with different strengths and different philosophies, and then watch them "converge" to a single philosophy for coaching the team, rather than bringing in a bunch of guys who already share the same DNA or however you want to put it.
If you're a guy like Jerry Sloan, Larry Brown, Don Nelson, or (since '05) Phil Jackson whose been in the business 20 years already and is pretty set in stone about their philosophies, you tend to see more of that. But that's the exception, not the rule.
Woody hired LD to be his lead assistant. While that doesn't mean that they agreed on each and everything, it likely means that they have more in common than not.
You ever read Seven Seconds or Less, More Than a Game, or Breaks of the Game? Head coaches often, if not mostly, hire assistant coaches precisely because they bring a different perspective to the table. D'Antoni hired two assistants in Phoenix whose offensive philosophies were quite different from his – Gentry was in the Flip Saunders "let the offense fit the team" mold (which is why he has coached both half-court and transition teams) and Iavaroni preferred a half-court oriented system (and focused more on defense anyway – something that D'Antoni has admitted he doesn't know much about). Same with Nate McMillan/Dean Demopoulos/Monty Williams and Doc Rivers/Tom Thibodeaux/Lawrence Frank. Phil Jackson had Charley Rosen (who was his philosophical twin) as an assistant when he first came to the CBA, but went with on-court assistants (notably Jim Cleamons and Frank Hamblen) who brought a different philosophy – they eventually filled in each others' gaps and now say they generally are of like mind, but that wasn't the case when they first started together.
Coaches usually don't go out and hire coaches who think like them. More often they go out with the specific intention of finding assistants who fill "gaps" in their self-perceived knowledge and philosophy of the game.
February 18th, 2011
7:08 pm
I have not given up on Smoove yet either. I am just frustrated with the 'effect' of his quest to be Mr Everything.
February 18th, 2011
7:24 pm
NIREMETAL-You're right about both players taking wide open shots because they are usually wide open. But isn't that when you would prefer them to take those shots, and wouldn't you say they're doing a pretty good job of making them? They're certainly doing a better job than the majority of their teammates.
Any Hawk player that wants to get involved in the OFF, and doesn't have excellent ball handling and/or one on one skills, usually has to position himself above the key if he wants to receive a pass from Bibby, since he won't initiate the OFF below the 3pt line. That usually leaves 3 options, 1- a long drive attempt to the basket, or 2-a long jumpshot, or 3-no chance to score.Bibby doesn't make anything easy, or easier, for his teammates, especially on DEF.
I don't see a trade of any kind by the Hawks. The ASG wants to let our expiring contracts expire and wait for the CBA to be resolved before committing to any roster moves.
February 18th, 2011
7:37 pm
I doubt any trade will be made, but they have to make a change. START JEFF TEAGUE
February 18th, 2011
7:38 pm
HAWKS FAN IN NOLA-If JSmith took a passive attitude towards his involvement in our OFF and how it's being run, he'd most likely end up becoming another version of MWilliams. We don't have a PG that distributes, creates easier scoring opportunities, especially anywhere near the basket, pushes the ball or the tempo, attacks the DEF or his man, gets to the FT line, or makes teams pay when they double team.
If we acquired a PG that could do all of those things, plus consistently play anything that even vaguely resembles DEF, we'd instantaneously become a far better and more consistent team overall.
February 18th, 2011
7:46 pm
AG-While I'd love to see Teague become our starting PG, I'd be content to see him get more mins more consistently. Starting him would at least guarantee a chance he'd play more with the starters, and help with reducing the problem we've had with falling behind early when teams are successful when targeting Bibby. Drew has to get it through his obviously thick skull that he can't continue trying to hide Bibby's numerous liabilities, limitations and inconsistency, which forces everyone else into playing what amounts to 4 on 5, and on both ends of the court.
February 18th, 2011
7:48 pm
+ Shoot-first point guard with quick first step who likes to drive to basket.
+ Outstanding college shooter who struggled to adjust to pro 3-point line.
+ Hyper, high-risk, gambling defender; blocks shots but fouls far too often.
The mutterings from the Hawks after the season were that Teague needed to play more, but I wonder if we were watching the same guy. While he certainly showcased the talent to create shots and defend the position, and he distributed the ball decently enough, he couldn't put the ball in the basket.
As a shoot-first point guard, that's a problem. Teague placed 66th out of 71 point guards in TS percentage and nailed only seven 3-pointers all year, which was unexpected after he hit 44 percent at Wake Forest a year earlier. The hope is that he can turn the corner in his second season, and if he does, the point guard job awaits on a silver platter for him.
Teague also needs to calm down on defense. He excels at blocking shots from behind but lands in that situation far too often because he's beaten so easily. He also rated third among point guards in fouls per minute, which is unacceptable for a starter.
This is what Hollinger skinny on Teague. His stats have improved over last year, and he is shooting 40% from 3pt and 43% overall.
February 18th, 2011
7:56 pm
Okay, if LD does not make changes after the AS Break, his press conference will be the same (except maybe a loss to the Lakers)
"Didn't defend the pick and roll very well, settled for two many jump shots, went away from what was working for us".
February 18th, 2011
8:20 pm
I must say, ALL of you guys have made valet points. I agree with all except Teague starting. (AG) I just feel for the first time since 98 we are in shooting distance of taking it to the next level. To make progress you have to make changes but all changes dont equal progress. Sund needs to make a splash soon.
February 18th, 2011
8:27 pm
If u dont make a trade you have to make a change. Do you really think Teague will do WORSE than Bibby?
February 18th, 2011
9:06 pm
Sund must be ready to pick up the pieces when NJ looses the Carmelo sweepstakes. NJ needs Joe and the Hawks need cap space. Trading Joe will change the team culture. Trade everyone you can, except Josh/Al/JC2.

Video: Perfume x Rally-X - "Dream Fighter (Rally-X mix)"
It's been a long while since an update and while Chris and I are enjoying our summer break, that corrilates with being straight up lazy. But as one major bass guitar princess once said, "Don't say 'lazy'", I'm back momentary for a quick update.
In relation a previous post, hype for upcoming release for J-pop idol band Perfume's second album, Triangle (⊿), is sparking some creative videos on Nico Nico Douga. This one stick out because the already catchy "Dream Fighter" is mashed up with the music to 1980's hit arcade classic Rally-X. The video is also interesting in that it's formated in the fashion of a Nintendo DS and even has a Perfume video playing on the bottom screen (though it's Computer City and not Dream Fighters). Good job to Parmy for creating this video and check out some of his other stuff below:

So I just finished my LAST FINAL of my second year…
That means my long summer break begins… right… about…. NOW. That also means my internet access is going to be limited for the next few months, so our legion of fans are just going to have to rely on my posting co-host DJCream for a majority of the posts for a while. So for now, I leave you all with Scribblenauts: my favorite game shown at E3. It's such an amazing concept and it seems like it's executed to perfection.
Scribblenauts is a game for the Nintendo DS that lets you type in any object (not licensed things or obscene things. Sorry penis lovers.) and the thing you typed in spawns in the game for your character to use. The main goal of the game is to collect stars in each level, but in order to do so, you have to type in items that can help you get that star. Tree in your way? Type in "flamethrower" and burn it down. Cthulu creature fucking you up? Summone "God" to destroy that mythical beast. It's hard to really explain so just watch the video above.

Life size RX87 gundam completed
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise. What better way to get the party started by creating a 1/1 scale of the iconic RX87 gundam?
The project was announced back in March and the actual construction went on from April until it finished this week. The life size gundam model is located in Odaiba and will be up for display until August 31. It's faith afterwards is unknown at this point (maybe fend off N.Korean attacks).

Video: IdolM@STER - Night Flight
It's been a while since I last posted an Im@s video. Anyways, this new one is from famed producer WakamuraP, it debuted #3 on the daily rankings for games. Insipration for this overnight sensation comes from the song "Night Flight", the fourth single off Perfume's upcoming album Triangle (⊿)
There's two things I really love about Japan right now. 1) IDOLM@STER. 2) Perfume. Whenever the two of them collide in an iM@SHUP, good things usually happen. This one is no exception.

FFXIV trailer impressions
Yesterday, I said that I wasn't interested in E3. Truth is, I lied. I watched the Sony keynote this morning and got on IRC to chat it up with other gamers following the event. When the Final Fantasy trailers hit the stream, everyone and their otaku mothers where dropping their jaws. For the record…
