My Zaza one does not have the cheta print but is equally as cool. via unrealitymag.com

It is time to get serious. We only have around 72 days left before the Hawks open the season against the Pacers on October 28th. We need a count down. Actually I already have a countdown. Every day I take a piece off of a Zaza Pachulia cut out. But we need a communal count down. Last year I did the top 25. This year...well this year there are just too many damn reason. I will need your help, not because I can't think of 72 (of course not....) but more because I don't want to get the best 72. So email me at ptreehoops(at)gmail.com

and now #72....Terrell Owens

I promise, normally, he is wearing sunglasses. via www.espn.go.com

Maybe it is the fact that Micah Hart mysteriously knows he will be at the game five hours before tip off or that he is neither cheered nor booed when he comes on the jumbotron but just sort of acknowledged like he is a backup defense men from the Thrashers, or it could just be the fact that he always wears sun glasses. I don't know, but TO comes to at least ten games a year. And those are ten games involving excruciating attempts to look and act as cool as possible. And I am looking forward to every second of it.

Joe, in the first picture, looks like he’s actually watching TO on the jumbotron.

I've never seen him there

I’ve been to several games and I’ve never seen TO there. Totally off the subject: I saw on NBATV that the Grizzlies are interested in Flip. I hate to see him go. Just my two cents.

you obvisouly are not near the cameras

seriously, i think his publicist contacts the Hawks to tell them he will be there. the more i think about this the more I realize TO should have been higher.

and if flip goes to the Grizz an honest to goodness fight will happen between Rudy Gay, Mayo, and him over who is going to shoot.

I see why

If anyone remembers T.O. lived (and maybe still does) in My home town in Chattanooga Tn. and as I can see there are more Hawk fans than Grizzley fans here so he may have been a Hawks fan growing up and still is maybe this is great it’ll bring in more fans to Philips arena
