Sekou snapped! He’s usually pretty level headed and calm. And he posted this at 1:52 AM. Must be tough getting sleep when you cover the Hawks.

Sekou with that fire. Love the line about spraying lysol on trash.

Kings/Hawks game is free for students tonight for some reason…

Gotta get someone at the game, I suppopse.

Sekou didn’t write that, it was Blog-Z.

Khalid Salaam says:
Please hawks take my sixers out of their misery. We don’t belong in the playoffs.

Feb.27 at 12:53 pm

Whistler says:
Well Khalid, it seems you do

Feb.27 at 12:56 pm

Co Co says:
We Hawks don’t belong in the playoffs either

Russ Bengtson says:
As someone who’s been reading Marc Berman’s (NY Post) and especially Frank Isola’s (NY Daily News) Knicks blogs, that stuff seemed almost tame.

Khalid and Co Co, to quote Geoffry from the fresh prince: It’s a tie, you both lose.

Russ Bengtson says:
And pretty much no Eastern teams besides the Celtics, Pistons, Magic, Cavaliers and maybe the Raptors BELONG in the playoffs. But as long as they’re gonna have this system, someone’s gotta go.

Feb.27 at 3:44 pm

Krayzie Bone says:
The Raptors are suspect.

Feb.27 at 3:44 pm

Jukai says:
Why don’t they just let some bottom tire western teams compete in the eastern playoffs?

Feb.27 at 3:49 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
It’s all about changing the playoffs to The Sixteen. It’s not biased towards any particular conference and just places the 16 teams with the best records in the playoffs. What could be more fair than that?

Feb.27 at 3:50 pm

Jukai says:
Damn man, I’ve read some of Isola’s too.. but some of that Hawks stuff was downright harsh.

Feb.27 at 3:51 pm

Krayzie Bone says:
They may change it when the bring in the euro division

Feb.27 at 3:52 pm

Krayzie Bone says:
Agreed Russ

i’m quoting myself from another post: “the best way to do this really is just to do league wide 1-16 straight up, but that will completely kill the concept of conference, and as we all know, stern loves to stick to the rules 100% and exclaims ‘die non-conformists die!’”

its always gonna be hard to actually want to win in a town where second place equals the championship… http://pitlanta.blogspot.com/2008/02/corruption.html

Young C says:
The idea of The Sixteen makes so much sense that The League wont possibly use it. Thinking of the Blazers getting a higher draft pick than the Sixers make my stomach turn. Theres no reason a team with as much talent as the Blazers should have a pick higher than the Sixers unless they owe it to them via a trade. This is part of the reason why the west just keeps getting stronger and the east just keeps sucking…u know, besides the sucky eastern conference GMs.

albie1kenobi says:
didnt’ even think about the lottery picks situation. good call Young C.

If the Hawks simply wore these (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESEX:IT&item=170197379373&_trksid=p3984.cSELL.m315.lVI) disgusting uniforms they’d reverse their fortune by matching their hideous play with equally hideous uni’s. It’s the magnets friends…it’s the magnets

hursty says:
young C, thats a really good point. keeping the conferences just makes it easier for itinery and travel though.

hursty says:
regardless if houston drops out then i think that for some reason will get a top 5 pick. call it intuition.
