Team has now won 7 straight. It looks like Hawks fans knew what we were talking about when we had a ton of injuries and covid cases. Amazing, right?

Okongwu has been such a difference maker

He has a ton of potential but he played like garbage for us this season. He had asked for a trade in the offseason and was playing hero ball on offense and giving no effort at all on defense. We're night and day better without him.

What a weird team. It’s like they just didn’t care along with a few injuries.

I watched the Milwaukee game and thought they looked really good as far as matchups go.

It was more than a few injuries. We had as many as 16 guys out with injuries and covid this year. It has been crazy for us. Now that the team is healthy we've won seven in a row.

Besides the COVID 'injuries' which rolled thru the team from Dec 19th to about January 10th, Hunter and Okongwu missed 29 games and Bogi missed 15 games with non-covid injuries.
Hunter and Okongwu makes a real difference on defense.

Another big win for the good guys tonight. I remember some troll on here acting like it was insanity to say that if the Hawks were actually healthy they could beat anyone. Well, gee, I guess they kinda showed that again. 8-1 in our last nine games and the one loss is ONLY due from Trae Young missing the entire game. Hope people got to see the NBA's best point guard put on 43 points on national television against the best team in the association.

They have the 25th easiest schedule the rest of the year which should help. That said its a big up hill battle.

They lack talent. Some decent players plus Trae Young who doesn't play defense but the overall roster is not very good.

They should still make the play in tournament. Washington and New York will chase them but Atlanta should be able to stay in front.

The Hawks failed Trae Young during their 2020 free agent signing spree where they added Bogdan Bogdanovic and Danilo Gallinari. Atlanta fans don't get angry when Trae wants a trade.

hawks are a 1 man team like mavs but trae is worse than doncic. their record accurately reflects this compared to dallas.
both teams will be stuck treadmill unless a pandemic hits every other team.
Doncic will be goat. Lauri will be his sidekick.

they are beating no one in the playin tournament. really pointless to make it when your going to get your ass kicked.
their gm seems incompetent to fail to recognize and trade the whole roster like the pacers. what they are trying to do is internally develop while letting those bloated vet deals expire while banking on okongwu to be an all star. what a pathetic plan not being dilligent.

This thread is a rollercoaster. Hawks go on a streak, sothron bumps the thread. Hawks go on a slump, "haters" bump the thread. :lol:

Sothron is probably the most entertaining poster on the general board right now, IMO of course, probably not for others. He has something to say whether the hawks are winning or losing. It would figure...ask for sothron, and get DRoseChi.
