HOME SWEET HOME
by AcieLaw 
Home sweet home. There’s nothing like being home. Home makes everything right. Everything is good. I"m blessed. I dont know where to start. Well yea I do. March 8, 2009, Mackenzi Kaylee Law ya dig!!! 7 lbs 10 ozs and she's a reflection of me. She's even hairy like me. My big homey Hustle said we mixed with Clydesdale, but he a hater. She so little, all she does is eat, sleep, and hiccup lol. I can say it’s truly a blessing to be a father.
Now back to basketball. We have won 5 in a row, and we"ve beaten some pretty good teams too. Just call us the streak busters. We stopped Detroit, Utah, and beat a good Portland team. We play extremely well at home, and all this is without Marvin. If Joe keeps playing like this we will be a problem in the playoffs. We got to get that number four seed. I feel if we host the first round we have a greater chance of going to the second round or even further. This time of the year is always exciting for basketball fans.
Oh. Im doing my college bracket. Congrats to Texas A&M for doing it again. That's my alma mater and all, but I feel like when it’s all said and done Pitt will be cutting down the nets. I wanna know how you guys feel about it. Let me know who will make the final four, who will get upset, and who will win. Til the next time my good peoples..Be blessed.

Also, congrats on winning again. Our team looks like a new team and they are looking like the team that won those games earlier this season. I love the way everyone is playing. Our bench is really helping us win these games with the absence of Marvin. Hopefully we win these next games to solidify ourselves as the #4 seed in the East.
Also, looking ahead in Saturday.....let's beat Cleveland! I felt the refs gave them the game when they came into Atlanta, but we just have to realize that Lebron will get those calls and Joe Johnson won't. We'll have to play extra hard since we're in their homecourt and I doubt the refs will be on our side.
I'm watching the Kings game as I'm typing this and you're doing really good man. By the way, have you improved your range? You've been hitting those three pointers recently. If you continue to do that, we'll be a force to be reckoned with come playoff time. Keep working hard man.
As for my pick for college....I picked the same team you and Josh Smith picked....PITT!!! I just don't think anyone can stop Dejuan Blair and Sam Young. Pitt is just so physical, I can't count too many teams that match up well with them.

Had an inside Track to stopping you guys last year, simple concept during your 7th Game, stop Josh Smith
with a Zone Defense and get him into foul trouble and Boston Wins. Had to help a Friend with an Office Pool.
If I Coached the Hawks during the Playoffs I'd "Start" Josh Smith at Driving Guard which means drive to the
basket and Dunk over all guards, and "demand Josh Smith" to defend the Shooting Guard.
Joe would play Point Guard and dominate all day, doesn't matter who play Forward or Center, someone
debated that "Josh" can't dribble, told everyone at work, what or whom or Guard will stop Josh off the
dribble, they all remained silent. I smiled and worked away, Basketball is very easy to me, find the weakest
player on Defense and dominate. Good Luck in the Playoffs, God Bless you and your Family.
I'm a New York Knicks Fan 4 Life, I live in Atlanta, must support all Atlanta Teams, I Coach Youth Sports
and the disadvantage kids I Coach will someday play on a Professional Sport Team.

and dominate, poor "Joe Johnson" started shooting those "3 threes", told you it was a dumb move.
Whenever you have an 1 for 5 or 6 shooting problem, start driving the ball to the basket, then settle for
easy jump shots in the "Paint" if you miss get your own rebound. "Joe" got Lucky this time, the bench
players dominated the Lakers.
Lakers are a "Great" team with "Mr. Kobe' if you take him out of the Game, they become a easy team to
beat.
Going to Vent a little on "Mr. Johnson" whenever you run up and down the "Court", your legs help you
shoot "Jump Shots", poor Joe had to play Defense & Offense, next time he needs to pace himself and
get the ball to the other "Players". If Joe gets a double team, only a dumb _ss would shoot, I'd rather have
5 assist to my teammate, then 5 missed shots, instead of being up by 10 points and a blowout, now you
put pressure on the Defense with every missed shot. Thinnnnnnnnnnk.
Last time I've checked Mr. Joe Johnson don't get rebounds, it's important to reward the big "Men" who
Box out to get the rebounds. I am Old School, Guards get there points on Defense & Steals. No player
I Coach will ever come down court and Jack up 7 or 9 missed shoots and remain in the Game. Teach my
Kids or Players there's no such thing as a "Super Star". Treat all my Players the same.
Sorry Mr. Joe, it's not the One-on-One show, pass the ball to every player thats open or drive to the
basket. Hawks beat Lakers, that was to easy, they never saw it coming, Hate the Lakers.
On my way to Baseball practice, Later Mr. Acie, take that Advil and start doing "Yoga".

Congrats on your daughter
Quick question though: A few weeks ago I asked you if you think T.O. should be back next season
You said that he should be back
What are your thoughts on the Cowboys getting rid of him?
Keep up the great work and I wish you and your family all the best
Be well my friend,

i would have to agree with you about pitt... they have shown to be a pretty well balanced team and have been pretty consistent when it all comes down to it... great post player, good athletic wings, players that can shoot the 3 if they need be, and my favorite part of the game, good D.. what else could you ask for.. oh i know lol.. mr levance fields.. all of this plus him, i see the song we are the champions and pitt meeting very soon.. BUUUUTTT (yes, there is a but) unc would've clearly had it if lawson did not get hurt and have to sit out so many games hence that loss to floirda *sigh*
but so far, pretty good tourney.. some close games but im still waiting for that one upset!! :)

settle my pain in 10 minutes, I tried everything to stop the pain. Not trying to Promote 'ADVIL" only explaining
it works for me "No Matter What". Can't Coach Youth Sports without the "Pills".
Boston Celtics have a different Team for 2009, let's point out there weakness first.
1. Not a Fast Breaking Team, they shoot to many 3 Point Shoots whenever they're behind by 10 or more.
2. Guards not as Physical as last year, Atlanta Bench Players set a faster pace when pushing the "Ball"
on the "Break".
3. Garnett needs another 3 weeks to get into basketball shape.
Atlanta Strong points in beating the Celtics.
1. I'd, put Mr. Josh Smith on the Wings to drive hard to the "Basket" for easy "Dunks Only", Boston players
will get into foul trouble quickly.
2. Josh must pass the ball to Mr. Horton for the easy Dunks, Josh must pass the ball whenever Garnett
move over to help. Whisper in "Josh" ear to do a Spin Dunk on Garnett, Dunking on Garnett will set the
tone.
3. Mr. Joe Johnson can't do his One-on-One trash, tried that last year and look what happened.
Mr. Johnson has to take High Percentage Shots "Only" inside the paint and dominate Boston Guards.
If "Joe" don't have a shot "Josh & Horton must crash the boards or look for the Layup or Pass.
4. "Josh" continue to be out of position to rebound, "Josh" must concentrate to position himself in "Front"
of the "Rim", whomever gets to that spot will always get the rebound, Mr. Garnett gets to that spot every
Game and intimidate all day. "Josh & Horton" must move Garnett out of that spot, to rebound and fast break.
5. Key to easy Victory, Rebound and push the ball and beat Mr. Garnett and his "Fat Forwards" down the
court. "Josh" talent thrives whenever the temple is pushed at a very fast pace, nobody will be able to
defend "Josh" because Mr. Garnett cannot beat "Josh" up the Court.
6. Hawks Win by 10 points (simple easy concept).
7. Final Note: It's Old School (3-2 Man to Man Defense) will stop the 3 Point Shots. A Big Lead will keep
the Boston Fans Quiet & the Hawks Fans Happy.

i can see why you like pitt. he reminds me of a certain other point guard from a couple years back. haha
coachdj said March 27, 2009
I Coach Defense 1st, Offense 2nd, easy to "Win" with Defense then Offense. Please take them "Advil"
and get back on the Court. Coaching Youth Baseball & Football at Redan Park, my kids Basketball Banquet
is tomorrow, I finished with Basketball "Good Luck" with the Playoffs, I am Confident not Cocky & Hate to Lose. I am New York Knicks Fan 4 Life, waiting for them to Sign a Center (Shaq) next year.
Mr. Josh Smith should score 30 to 40 points tonight with an fast pace game.

1. Joe Johnson (Shooting Guard)
2. Mo (Point Guard)
3. Josh Smith (Power Forward)
4. Horton (Rebounding & Shot Blocking Forward)
5. Jones (Center)
Bibby off the bench as Shooting Guard instant Offense, I'd take Bibby off the dribble and tell my Guards
to dominate him on Offense. Scouting Report don't lie (Sorry). Bigger physical Guards will help Hawks
win on a regular basis until they draft a Center. Allow "Center Mr. Jones" to develop as a starter and
watch what happens. I'd explain to Mr. Jones, you must rebound and block shots & defend on Defense,
don't worry the kid will step up, Horton & Josh will dominate in a Zone Defense to help Mr. Jones.
It's the Playoffs and every victory counts, should beat the Raptors by 20 points with a Zone Defense.
Coach Dee-Jay providing the facts, which leads to Win not Defeats.

basket.
Todays Game against the Pacers is going to be very fast. There Point Guards going to dominate Mr. Bibby
off the dribble, if Mr. Bibby came off the Bench and get into a flow, the Pacers Guards will pressure on
Defense and start fouling him & Joe.
Pacers guards enjoy pushing the ball up the court on fast breaks, to slow them down Mr. Horton & Josh
must get all of the rebounds and hit Mr. Joe with easy fast break layups. I'd tell Mr. Joe to post up
the Pacers guards on a "Clear Out" and dominate all day & watch Josh & Horton for easy "Dunks"
and Mr. Bibby for easy 3 point shots.
Hawks rebounds equal = less fast break points (0) for the Pacers, trust me.
Hawks Win by 20 points and seal 4th Place finish, this game is to easy.
Coach Dee-Jay, Win Now, Worry later.

Everybody talks about last year, I have a predated E-mail before each Win for the Hawks.
Going to remain silent to see how far or how many Wins the Hawks receive while playing Miami,
I can chuckle to myself whenever I read the Boston & Hawks Game last year.
Going to wish you guys alot of "Luck" against Miami, after your 1st defeat at Home, I am going to be
focused on your Game Plan to Win the second Game. Not Wishing a defeat on the Hawks, I see things
your Team will never understand. This is my opinion and being a New York Knicks Fan 4 Life will never
change. I love all the Georgia Sports Team, Coaching Youth Sports in Atlanta is Fun.
Better get healthy quick Mr. Law your Defense is needed.
coachdj said April 20, 2009
Josh was a beast. Great Win.
coachdj said April 27, 2009
and the "Mind" and "Body" is confused on how to "Stop" Mr. D. Wade.
Simple, Mr. D Wade can break down any "Man to Man" Defense which is his strength and the Hawks play
into the "Trap".
The Best Defense is putting Mr. Josh Smith on "Wade" in a 3-2 Zone / Man to Man Defense, this will
allow "Josh" to chase and block all shots in the paint. Never ever double team Mr. Wade, that's the
sucker move. Giving you the Old School Defense to stop all drives to basket, Hawks can't score points
on fast break, Miami easy baskets eliminate Hawks fast break Points and allow Miami to get back on Defense.
Miami packing the lanes with a Man to Man & Zone Defense, Mr. Bibby has to make the 3 point shot,
Sorry "Joe", the Game is Won during the first 5 minutes of the Game, missed "Jump Shots" don't work.
driving to the basket and dishing is the Winning Attitude.
Hawks Win by 15 points, "Josh" must chase and dominate the boards, allow Mr. Wade to come to
Josh on picks and drives, nobody taking Offensive Fouls anymore.
I am Old School, if you drive to the basket, you will get a hard foul everytime, something to remember
next time down the court. Nooooooooo easy basket tonight.
coachdj said April 29, 2009
rest your starters to keep them fresh for the 4th Quarter. This will help Mr. Horton & Mr. Josh Smith to jump
higher to get rebounds.
Mr. Wade going to attack the Rim from left or right "Wings", simple concept to stop him on the wing,
whomever playing at the Top in the 3-2 Zone Defense must drop down and change Defense to a 2-3 to
stop Mr. Wade on any "Layup" to the basket. Mr. Wade back will prevent him from running on the fast
breaks. Mr. Bibby must take him off the dribble and do a stop & go move, everytime Mr. Wade stop
and move the back will give out. Every hard foul will increase pain to the back. Fast uptempo will send
Mr. Wade to the bench early, he's trying to slow the Game down to allow the back to get loose.
Mr. Bibby must set his feet and hit every 3 Point shot, never rush the shot, 10(ten) 3points shoots and the
game is over very quickly.
Hawks win by 20 points.
My Baseball Team is getting better, Hawks better close out this series, going to worry about my Kids
at Redan Park "Only" and leave Basketball alone.
Final Note: Fresh Legs and Defense Win Championship.
coachdj said April 30, 2009
Have to get you "Law", standing around looking to pass, can't do that in the "Playoffs" must take the
ball to the basket and hit the cutters, you're legs or fresh, simply zip past the Miami players to the basket.
I myself enjoy coming off the bench as a Point Guard, I attack the weakest guard unable to play Defense and make him pay. Friend hate to see me enter the game, because the temple will increase to 100 mph.
Mr. Wade back will fail him Friday, time off will tighten his back, the pounding will hurt his back, the extra
minutes will hurt his back, etc. Miami starting to give hard fouls, a quick drive and pump fake will stop that,
and a quick drive and step back move will destroy them all day. Mr. Bibby is all "Clutch" with the 3 point shot, Thank You for starting Mr. Mo, and Mr. Murray power drives to the basket were outstanding.
Hawks win in Miami by 15 points, close this last Game.
coachdj said May 06, 2009
Game 2 easy Win for the "Hawks", to simple, Cleveland has 3 guys that score Mr. James, Mr. Williams, and Mr. D West. Let's talk about the Defense because it's not working.
Mr. Josh Smith or Hawks Center Mr. Jones should follow or shadow, Mr. James, this will shut down the
passes and easy high percentage shots. Mr. James looks to score on "Smaller Guards", Josh will maintain pressure on the "Ball" without fouling and deny the ball coming back to Mr. James.
Mr. Joe can get real physical with there guards on defense, Old School new defense 1-2-2, Josh at the Top guarding Mr. James. dosen't matter if Mr. James goes to the left or right corner, the Defense will remain a 1-2-2 Defense.
Hawks need a "Speedy" big Center to run the floor, there slow _ss center IIgauskas can't run the floor.
Cleveland tall lineup can't defend the 3 point shot. I'd tell Mr. Joe to drive and kick to Mr. Bibby for easy
3 point shots, 10 easy 3 pointers equal = 30 points. Mr. James will try to go one-on-one to catch up
Hawks Defense pickup easy Offensive fouls all day.
On Defense I'd run my Offensive drives to the basket at Mr. James, 2 quick fouls and Mr. James has to sit down, Game over. Hawks win by 20 points.
Subtract Mr. James 34, Williams 21, West 13, (- 68) equal = (Defeat), remember Defense Wins Games and
Championships. Don't worry Mr. Josh will dominate tomorrow on Defense and Flying high above the rim for Dunks and Rebounds. Josh scores 20 points on fast breaks. Mr. Joe must drive and shot layups with his left and right hand. Mr. Bibby scores 30 points and silences the crowd early. Hawks Win by 20 at half.
