This is coming from a long time Hawks fan and defender and I hate to be a negative Nancy, but I think none of the following have helped matters for the city's pro hoops franchise:
1. Trading the face of the franchise, Nique, in the middle of a tremendous season with title potential (helped in part by a certain MJ trying his luck swinging a bat).
2. Draft history. As much as everyone can get behind Horford and Smoove, it will be years and years before people forget about CP3, Deron, Roy, etc. etc. etc.
3. Total meltdown against Orlando in last years playoffs.
4. JJ's perceived attitude by fans after that Orlando series and ensuing huge contract offer and signing just weeks after.
I've found myself, for the first time in almost 20 years of die hard support, not really caring about this team. I hope they figure things out. However, I've started feeling what I think many in this city already feel as far as the Hawks go...nothing.

I agree with all of that. Im a big fan as well but its embarrassing. I recognize that this isnt the biggest basketball area but its not like the product on the court is complete garbage. The Kings are putting out garbage and they have good fans. The Warriors arent very good and have great fans.
