I don't know if the Moderators are the only one's that can post official threads, but I didn't see one so I just posted one.

I just found out that the hawks apparently got their a$$ kick by the Jazz, from waht i hear marvin started out well but cooled off when he got into it with Hoffa, Salim started out slow but started getting hot in the end, and the worst news Shelden are first pick, play non-existent tonight.

final score
utah 98
atl 76

lets hope we can rebound tomorrow.

You can't really blame it all that much. This jazz team has a load of young talent and on the floor at a time the jazz could have a lineup of williams, dee brown, brewer, millsap, arujo. Salim struggled on both ends because he was playing against Deron Williams.

I'm not suprised that Salim struggled running the team, he's not a p.g he has TO MUCH of a scorers menatlity, Last season everytime I saw him touch the ball, I was afraid he was going to throw it up with 3 player in front of him.

Key players:
Shleden 8pts 5reb 2stls 1blk
Marvin williams 23pts 4reb 14-18ft
Salim Stodamire 20pts 4reb 2ast
solomon jones 5pts 3reb 17min 7 fouls

Atlanta got outrebounded 41-20? That pretty much says it all. Good showing from Marvin though.

[ATLien]

Yeah, great showing from Marvin. Why was Araujo trying to fight him?

[ATLien]

From DraftExpress..

Marvin Williams - Was the best player on the floor for the Hawks tonight and was involved in a pair of incidents with Rafael Araujo. In the first quarter Marvin anticipated a pass and stole it and appeared to be going up for the dunk at the other end. But Araujo had hustled back and just as Marvin was jumping Araujo catches his arms and the ball at about waist
height. This caused Marvin flip over and land hard on his side. Because it was a dangerous play Araujo was assessed a flagrant foul. In the second incident in the 3rd quarter
Araujo cut the hoop and is rewards with an excellent pass. And he goes up to finish and his fouled and loses the ball on the way up. However on the way down he swipes his hands down in a way to knock Marvin Williams to the floor. Marvin Williams bounced back up and tried to go after Araujo but was restrained by his teammates. Araujo was assessed his 2nd
flagrant foul and ejected and Marvin was assessed a technical foul. The crowd blamed Marvin for the fact that their local favorite had been ejected and became hostile. They booed when
ever he touched the ball and jeered at him whenever play stopped.

In the author’s opinion the first play was clean play, but a hard one. But the second has no explanation other then it was a dirty play that has no place in basketball.

In the 1st half Marvin Williams took advantage of his quickness and athleticism to drive the ball into the paint on every occasion drawing fouls and scoring. He was also aggressive defensively.

In the 2nd half he began the same way but after the second flagrant foul he seemed to get passive, until he was called to the bench and spoken to by the Hawks staff. When reinserted to the game he returned to his aggressive mindset.

Marvin had trouble all night when asked to play power forward as he was overpowered, but he played very well as a small forward.

Shelden Williams - Shelden had a quiet night. He got into position and was fouled on a few occasions and managed to make some free throws. His rebounding and defensive presence was poor at best.

Salim Stoudimare - He hasn’t lost his excellent stroke from long range and was effective driving the ball. He struggled to contain Deron Williams but did good job on Dee Brown.

Solomon Jones - He displayed his hustle and athleticism coming up with several rebounds and running the floor.

Nothing's absolute. Shelden will get help from Zaza and especially from Josh Smith in the real games. Summerleague's just for fine-tuning; I'll bet he'll get serious when the games actually meant something.

Damn, Marvin.

[ATLien]

From DraftExpress..

"Marvin was aggressive again tonight and went an impressive 15 for 15 from the free throw line. He ended up with 25 points by driving the hoop, pushing the ball in transition and staying aggressive for the whole game. The crowd still booed him every time he touched the ball and cheered whenever a call went against Marvin. He had a little trouble dealing with Rawle Marshall's speed at first but he adjusted and played excellent defense for most of the game. Marvin's ball handling and athleticism have made it almost impossible for defenders to stay in front of him without fouling."

I saw alot of those flashes from marvin this past season, him being a P.F and with his ball handling and quickness, he was able to do beat his defender easily and do what great scorers do and that's get to the line and he even makes his freethrows I see why scout said he has tremendous potiential.
