And Kimmo banged one of the crossbar too.

I apologize for the white guilt comment. Knew it was dumb when I was writing it and did it anyway. Point still stands though. No one is in need of rescuing here.

people seem surprised a young team came out of the locker room and played the first 10 minutes at home of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final like they had rockets up their asses. There is no way they would have been able to keep that up, and the Hawks knew it. TB is a really good team and the Hawks knew they would need…

dude, you should really get that white guilt checked by a doctor. A picture of a person is not racist. This is not a caricature of a goofy native or a screaming savage; it’s just a drawing of person. I see this as very similar to a Trojan or Viking and very different from the Indians, Redskins, and Fighting Irishes of…

Is tallon still down in FL? That guy loves taking bad Hawks money.

this needs more stars.

All valid points. Thibs could take a lesson from Pop on how to manage the regular season, and Thibs doesn’t take lessons from ANYONE. Still, there seems to be a pattern emerging with Reinsdorf owned teams not being able to keep winning coaches because the GM’s want total compliance (Del Negro, Thibs, Ozzie).

I know Tom is a crazy person, but there have been too many stories of upper management acting insane (Pax in particular) for me to have much faith in them. Remember when Pax punched Vinny Del Negro? It seems like this organization has a big problem on its hands.

I’m really hoping we can add 20 to that list.

I didn’t think it could get dumber than the NHL waiting so long to release the conference final schedules, but the NBA takes the cake with this non-sense. You have the reigning MVP vs the best basketball player on Earth and they take all of the momentum out of it.

I almost wish I wasn’t a Hawks fan for this series. The stress is too much. I’m ALMOST enjoying the Tampa Bay/New York more just because I can enjoy the great drama without the constant risk of heart failure.

Keith makes so many great smalls throughout the game. He breaks up so many fast breaks with a quick stick.

by the way, this is some FANTASTIC kinja

yes, third all time in wins and 2 cups, but I’m sure Savvy is his equal behind the bench. I mean, great players have consistently shown to be as good as Hall of Fame coaches, so you’re right.

hey now, leave me out of this.

So which is it? First you (incorrectly) state that there is no global climate change, then say it’s cyclical. Pick one.

that’s great Kinja!

you sound EXTREMELY bitter towards your wife. And you’re right, you should absolutely treat your wife with love and affection all year around, but to suggest that having a special day to do more for her is wrong is crazy. If you don’t like hallmark cards and cheap ass gifts (as I do), do something else. I bring home…

then your problem is your marriage, not the holiday

You are correct, you should treat them well not JUST on those days, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing something a little extra on a special occasion. You could be awesome all year around but if you’re an asshole on Mother’s Day, you’re still an asshole.
