The schedule was released a couple days ago and the game that looks most appetizing is the defending eastern conference champions on Thanksgiving in Atlanta. I couldn’t think of a better way to give thanks then to go down to Philips Arena for this Southeastern Division tilt. Seven times of national TV! I was predicting 5 and I thought that was high. Tough west coast trip starting at the 3rd game that actually ends in Charlotte. Weird.
Hawks and Marvin still have not officially gotten a deal done. But we’re close. I really didn’t think Marvin would end up anywhere else in this economy, but its nice to see we are doing more than just letting him take the qualifying offer.
I’m too lazy to truly finish this post, but check out Jeff Schultz blog on the topic of signing Joe to an extension. I don’t know how much I like Joe, but the fact that this is even a rumor gives me confidence in Hawks management. On the record, I do not think we sign Joe to any kind of extension this off-season.
Update!: Hawks play the Heat in Jacksonville, FL (where I currently live) in the preseason. I’m betting I see the Hawks in action before any of you.
