    <span style="font-style: italic">Nov 14</span> - He's four starts into his Hawks career and has yet to be on the floor for the final five minutes of any of those games.</p>

    </p>

    That's by design for coach Mike Woodson, who is not ready to turn the late-game reins over to Acie Law IV, a guy nicknamed "Captain Clutch" in college.</p>

    </p>

    "If he continues to be our starter, he will eventually be the guy that brings it home," Woodson said. "But it's a learning process, too. I don't think you just throw him out there and say just 'Go get it done,' because it's not as easy as most people think. But I do want him to know I do have confidence in him." -- <font color="#000000">Atlanta Journal-Constitution</font></p></div></div>

    I'm tired of seeing Lue at the end of the game. He's to much of a defensive liability, and he's not smart with the ball!</p>

    Me too o.iatl, Woodson is making a mistake by having Lue at the end.</p>

    Do you see him being fired if Hawks say don't win that many games by January or February?</p>

    Oh YES! Billy Knight is very close friends with Woody, but his job is on the line this season. The Hawks ownership, want a significant improvement, and if Billy wants to keep his job, he'll have to cut him loose.</p>
