Don Nelson: “What I’m trying to do is set the table for the next guy so he’s got a better team than I have this year”

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Don Nelson got his wish and so did a lot of people in Golden State.  Stephen Jackson is no longer a Golden State Warrior.  Why would a team that is so bad trade away the guy that was arguably the team’s best player?  And why would they do it when ...

Mike Woodson and the Atlanta Hawks are Flying High

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

If you were to go back before the start of this NBA season and think of some of the title contenders I bet you didn’t have the Hawks on your short list and I don’t blame you. For so long the Atlanta Hawks have been so bad, but they have ...
