Posted by: J-mill on September 29, 2007 10:04AM EST This is the winning attitude I'm talking about!

Posted by: byron parker on September 29, 2007 2:04PM EST this is how your team should set the tone for the 2007-08 nba season and shock the world and the NBA and believe that the Atlanta Hawks can compete with anybody on any night

Posted by: Markos on September 30, 2007 6:42AM EST Dedication, endurance, and a swagger will help the Atlanta Hawks rise to the occasion and become one of the surprise teams this 2007-08 campaign. They're talented, but they need the attitude to win.

Posted by: Elizabeth aka "Fan Mom" on September 30, 2007 11:49AM EST Playoffs...Here we Come !!!! Were ready to prove something this year.

Posted by: Keona Harris on September 30, 2007 1:34PM EST If ya'll keep on working hard then ya'll will be a better team.

Posted by: Tyrone on September 30, 2007 4:51PM EST You people are idiots if you think the hawks will be any good

Posted by: Juno on September 30, 2007 5:36PM EST Tyrone, when the Hawks start surprising people this season dont feel too bad when you're itching to jump on the bandwagon.

Posted by: tramoski on September 30, 2007 8:29PM EST JUST REMEMBER THAT WE R GOING TO HAVE AN OUTSTANDING SEASON THIS YEAR!!

Posted by: RYAN on September 30, 2007 8:41PM EST yay

Posted by: Feldy on October 1, 2007 2:26PM EST This is our year for the playoffs!!!

Posted by: DeeT on October 1, 2007 3:21PM EST I am very prond of the Hawks thus far...they are putting themselves in a postion to have a successful season this year!!! And with this kind of motivation & determination, they WILL have a successful season. I'm so excited that I am looking foward to the 1st preseason game!! Go Hawks!!!!!

Posted by: Melvin H. on October 1, 2007 3:53PM EST I've been a die-hard Hawks fan, even through the losing seasons. I'm proud of the moves that they have made thus far, but this definitely has to be a breakout year for the ball club, considering all the talent they have on their squad. They saw how Esteban Batista played during the FIBA games, that could be their best-kept secret, well it's not a secret considering how well he played during those games. Good luck Hawks!! If I could afford season tickets, i'd be at EVERY GAME!! Been one the bandwagon since i was 5, NEVER JUMPING OFF!!!

Posted by: Pete on October 2, 2007 7:58AM EST That's is great to see them getting together like this

Posted by: ALEX on October 2, 2007 11:18AM EST YO SON MA BOI AL HORFORD IS IN DIS TEAM SON ITS GUNNA B SICKNASTY DOGG.. BUT IT WOULD OF BEEN BETTER IF HE WOULD OF WENT TO ORLANDO!!!!

Posted by: 412 on October 2, 2007 11:44AM EST This year will be different than the rest. With a healthy Joe Johnson and great gaurd play, The Hawks shoud make some noise. The big guys have to bang and everyone play their part. We will see what happens.

Posted by: Sam on October 2, 2007 5:36PM EST It's nice to see this kind of motivation. This team is going to have success and will wake up some other teams in the league!

Posted by: Emile J Worthy on October 2, 2007 8:54PM EST You get out what you put in! Fly Bird's!!!!

Posted by: Dee on October 3, 2007 1:23PM EST Man the hawks is gon set it off next season,,,,,look out for Josh smith!

Posted by: jloofatl on October 3, 2007 2:36PM EST The boys look good. I cant wait til they get on the floor at Phillips. They have made good moves in the off season. I hope the coaching staff can keep this team motivated and fired up throughout the season. With all the weapons that we have there is not way we cant go to the post season. I cant wait to see what Josh Smith is going to do and interested to see what the Rookies going to put out also. Hope Sheldon can bring April 2007 back to November. I have my ticket to the first preseason.

Posted by: MC Smith on October 3, 2007 10:20PM EST I think the Hawks should be better with their new editions. I think at worst they should challenge for a playoff spot, they even have thinking about leaving the Falcons as season ticket holder and buying Hawks tickets.

Posted by: Smooth on October 4, 2007 8:18AM EST If everyone come into camp in great shape, and learn and "PLAY" their role on the team, play great individual and team defense, Phillips Arena will be Crunk playoff time:)

Posted by: wangchaofeng on October 4, 2007 8:25AM EST I am your chinese fans.I hope your term will get more successful!

Posted by: J-Smoove on October 4, 2007 11:28AM EST Ye man the Hawks'll be killin it. J-Smoove'll be dunkin 'n blockin all season, Acie'll be runnin the floor, JJ will be shootign the lights out, and ofcourse Fro, Marvin and the rest will shine aswell. I'm lookin forward to this season baby, A-T-L J

Posted by: Dr.love on October 4, 2007 12:56PM EST this is how teams should start if they keep doing this it means alot of blocks and alot of fastbreaks!!!!

Posted by: Matt on October 5, 2007 12:02AM EST We need structured workouts. Not random pickup games. Where's the training staff the team pays so much money for? Winning teams plan everything to the t. That's what's been lacking in Atlanta and I'm afraid this will be another disappointing year at the end of which great players end up in great teams just like what happened in the past.

Posted by: Dan on October 5, 2007 3:42AM EST Good to see, keep it up.

Posted by: JS20 on October 5, 2007 6:40AM EST now Atlanta have two decent rookie guards one is good at clutch shooting(ACIE) , one is tough on defense (JAMAAL). JJ is going to have easier load on point guard plays. ACIE can easily be 1 or 2. can't wait till season starts

Posted by: Louie on October 6, 2007 7:01AM EST Godbless atlanta.. this is it!!! Its ur time to shine this season.. juz believe in ur selves guyz..

Posted by: Anonymous on October 6, 2007 12:29PM EST ZAZA IS THE BEST!!!

Posted by: Josh on October 7, 2007 11:58AM EST I really hope that the hawks are good... I have loved the Hawks even though they havnt been doing so good, they keep getting better and better and now with Horford and Law we will deffinatley be a very strong team in the east! watch out everyone the Hawks are coming!

Posted by: Maliek Thom on October 7, 2007 3:29PM EST da hawks and i are looking forward 2 a good season so joe johnson needs 2 keep himself healthy, and key players need 2 step up,J.Smoove,J.chill,aj,salim,and zaza

Posted by: Fred Smith on October 8, 2007 11:34AM EST Its bout time dat we r gettin da recognition dat we deserve cuz I've been tellin everybody those boys r gonna be great in a few years jus wait, a few years has finally arrived their all goin 2 see what I wuz talkin bout goodluck men lets have a great year cant wait.

Posted by: Kuzac on October 8, 2007 12:16PM EST Im not normally a Hawks fan, but now im looking forward to the Hawks upcoming season since the signing of Jamaal Tatum. Im from SIU and Ive been a huge supporter of Jamaal Tatum. The Hawks have really signed sum1 special in JT!! Good Luck JT!!! Good Luck Hawks!!!

Posted by: emirrrrrrr on October 8, 2007 1:16PM EST ı love thıs game this season mvp memo okur

Posted by: Rod on October 9, 2007 7:28AM EST This extra workout is a great, I just hope you continue to do this as the normal to condition yourselves this season. The Hawks have a young team so I look forward to seeing them out running a lot of teams and winning more games, especially the closes ones. Chemistry is the key, just trust each other-GO HAWKS! Congrads on the preseason win.

Posted by: Michael Boggs on October 9, 2007 11:59AM EST no ones better than my atlanta team thanks to the new acie and horford, go joe johnson and marvin willams, wit childress, no one is better than the only Atlatnta Hawks

Posted by: leo on October 10, 2007 12:00AM EST al horford pa lante

Posted by: frederick on October 10, 2007 5:44AM EST this is the year my bragging about the hawks pay off. i been saying they will make the payoffs for 3 years. go hawks go make my lies true

Posted by: Adrian on October 11, 2007 3:34PM EST Lets go Hawks. Playoffs here we come.

Posted by: Anonymous on October 11, 2007 7:07PM EST finally a championship coming to atlanta! congrats boys

Posted by: Gareth on October 11, 2007 11:30PM EST I think whoever runs the point this year, they have to go in with the attitude of looking to distribute before setting up their own shot. The hawks have guys from the 2 to the 5 who can put the ball in the bucket, all they need is a 1 guard who is willing to deflate his own stats (and own ego for that matter)in order to get the ball to the other guys, especially on the low blocks.

Posted by: Duncan on October 12, 2007 7:29AM EST hawks champion 07-08

Posted by: Steven on October 12, 2007 11:38AM EST Went to the Charlotte game last night. The Hawks look great! This team is going to be something special. You can tell they've been working hard. See you at every home game this season, and post-season. That's right, playoffs baby.

Posted by: Kelso on October 13, 2007 1:51PM EST I have been a huge supporter of the Hawks for years and I have never been more excited for a season to start than I am this year. Early season workouts? That's why we are going to shock the NBA this year.

Posted by: Finn on October 14, 2007 6:34PM EST Dont get fooled by all the hype.The Hawks are an ok team in a mediocre conference.Anything less than playoffs would be unacceptable this year.

Posted by: Big b on October 14, 2007 7:27PM EST I am your biggest fan Joe Johnson and josh smith i hope i get to get your atoghraph 1 day and get a picture with you

Posted by: Anonymous on October 15, 2007 4:24PM EST zaza is the biggest loser in the worlddddddddddd

Posted by: jeff on October 15, 2007 5:36PM EST Hey Jatinder, get a life. Michal Vick is on his way to jail- How can he rule the marijuana smoking dog beater! you get what yo deserve. Go Hawks!!!

Posted by: just win on October 17, 2007 4:57PM EST it about time, playoff time or at least compete they dont have to win a playoff game jus make a appearance.

Posted by: johnny on October 17, 2007 5:54PM EST Hey guys, please quit using the f word it is real offensive to me. If you have nothing good to say keep your mouth shut! Thanks! Go Hawks

Posted by: Anonymous on October 17, 2007 11:58PM EST i did a poll and we all agree he is the biggest loser. DSL mouth.

Posted by: ron on October 18, 2007 11:15AM EST shelton William seem like a wast pick because as he had shown like the rest of those player that come from Duke never turn out to be anything he never know how to finish a play ether he's walk of lose the ball because he not playing with conforedent so it time for the hawks to trade him for a big man a center I would like to know what Billy Knight is going to do with him

Posted by: Terry on October 21, 2007 12:03PM EST I would like to say go hawks they will win 65 games this year

Posted by: J on October 21, 2007 9:17PM EST 65 wins is strong, I give'em 43-49 wins and a playoff appearance. Horford will turn a lot of heads and will be the player we needed in the post and the kind of spark we hoped Marvin to be in year one. Good perimeter play and solid post play and a very solid defense will help the team to the 6th or 7th playoff spot in the east. They will be an exciting team to watch as well.

Posted by: playoffdreamer on November 1, 2007 8:52PM EST hawks will not be in the playoffs. They will be the cellar dwellars of the east!! hawks suck big hairy donkey dick!
