Can we just cut Sheldon now? Please? God he sucks

Shelden clutch! Point and foul!

assist by horford.

[o.iatlhawksfan]

Millsap pts and foul, Shelden shoots, full court shot, and almost makes it. Hawks lose.

Horford looked impressive, Law struggled, but made some good passes.

Freaking Shellhead. Good for nothing he is.

I'm thrilled to see Horford already playing well. He's going to be a nice addition I think.

ESPN...

WHO'S HOT: After hitting a ho-hum 5-of-14 from the field in his opening Revue game Friday, Atlanta big man Shelden Williams was on fire Saturday.

The No. 5 overall pick from the 2006 draft finished with a 23-point, 11-rebound double-double in 30 minutes against the Spurs and made a tidy 10-of-12 shots from the field.

"I thought he was a little bit more focused [Saturday]," Drew said of Williams, who led all NBA rookies in both rebounds per game (5.4) and double-doubles (eight) this past season. "He seemed to play a little bit more under control. Didn't look to force as many things. He took what the defense gave him. And that's how he has to play. He can't be one of those guys that's looking to always create for himself

ATL, you suck

is that allowed? :biggrin:

by the way, i still think your team was stupid for picking him 5. you're even stupider though if 1) you don't give him more than a year to prove himself and 2) think he'll ever be anything more than a solid role-player.

[ATLien]

well 1) stupider isn't even a word and 2) this doesn't mean much since it's still summer league and he is supposed to be better than his competition. I still say ATL should cut him.

Any reason why Horford didn't start Game 2? 9 rebounds off the bench isn't bad..

At the very least, Atlanta should have someone representing them at the Rookie/Sophomore game for the first time since 2004..

I heard he tweaked his leg, during practice, but nothing serious.

Good game by Shelden, Horford did well, coming off the bench, and I Law, starting off slow, but I still think he'll pick it up.

FINE! More stupider. And it's a summer league game for goodness sakes. 8 rebounds is pathetic. He should have at least 15. CUT HIM!

Didn't he come of the bench in game 1 also? He just play more minutes in game 1.

I know its summer league and its ultimately meaningless, but would like to see the guy from Gonzaga get some more burn. Raivio has looked great in limited minutes (including 10 points vs. the Spurs Saturday) and it wouldn't hurt to give him a longer look.

What's everyone's thoughts on Jarrius Jackson, the other undrafted senior guard? He certainly hasn't filled up the stat sheet and he's been getting A LOT of minutes.

I wouldn't worry about Acie Law IV. By most accounts he is a fearless leader -- his shot will eventually start falling when he gets used to the differences between NBA ball and NCAA ball.

Yeah, I just don't know how great their chances are of making the team..

The Hawks have quite a few small guards already on their roster so I don't think Ravio has a great shot. However Jackson might as Atlanta doesn't really have a back-up SG to Joe Johnson.
