Desperate times, desperate measures
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Editor’s Note: Sekou’s blog has been updated by the ajc.com sports staff following the Hawks’ 95-88 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers Wednesday night.
Sekou is likely traveling back from the West Coast and will provide an update once he returns. In the meantime, continue to sound off as the team fights through this difficult period.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
And as the Atlanta Hawks slip further down in the standings and possibly out of the NBA playoff picture, how much more desperate can things get?
Nothing - not the Hawks’ 1-4 record on this regretful western road trip the just ended, and not their 4-11 record in the month of January - points to progress. So tough decisions must be made.
Should the team consider replacing head coach Mike Woodson?
Should the team consider packaging one or more of the team’s so-called “untouchables” (Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams) in a trade to infuse the team with new and/or better talents?
Or should the team take a whatever-it-takes mentality to acquire Jason Kidd, who’s requested to be traded from the New Jersey Nets and will be in town Saturday to showcase his wily skills at Philips Arena.
What would you like to see happen with the team? Do you think everything should remain the same? After all, the Hawks WOULD make the playoffs if the season ended today.
Let us know what you think.
