You must be “Joshing”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sure, Joe Johnson’s team-leading 29 points in nearly 45 minutes of play was crucial in the Hawks’ defeat of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday night. There’s no player on the squad that Atlanta rallies around more than their All-Star guard.
But check the stat sheet, and notice what swingman Josh Childress accomplished in his 25 minutes coming off the bench. Twelve points on 4-for-4 shooting from the field and 4-of-5 free throws. Five rebounds. Three assists.
All of that contributed mightily to Atlanta’s nine-point margin of victory. Besides Childress, the only other points coming from reserves against Cleveland were the three scored by Acie Law.
So, Hawks fans, are you secure in knowing you’ve got a solid sixth man, or what? Do you like the role Childress is playing? Or, for the Hawks to stay at or above .500, does he need to do more?
Don’t just savor the victory. Sound off

How would you fix the BCS?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
University of Georgia President Michael Adams is advocating an eight team, seven-game, single-elimination tournament run by the NCAA, using four of current BCS bowls as the quarterfinals.
The plan has been met with sheer enthuthiasm and skepticism.
Fourteen of 30 university presidents contacted by the AJC flat-out reject the idea, with only five embracing it.
What’s your take? Yea or nay? Have you got a better plan?
