You all really think Atlanta is that much more talented than the Raptors, player personnel-wise?

The reason why the Hawks are so good right now is a systemic thing. Culture. Approach. Discipline. Where does that come from? Who is in charge of that?

Casey has mental constipation. His head is suited for rock pounding. And I pity the rock :(

This season has "lose to the Cavs in the first round" written all over it.

It's truly perplexing that so many on this board valiantly defend Casey. It's been clear for years that he's not strategically capable of being even an average coach at this level.

Fans need to start booing or cheer real hard. This is unaceptable, giving up 3 easy 3s.

We're scoring 2s while they shoot open 3s. Lmao.

We're not going to beat New Orleans either. I've lost a bit of confidence man, sad times.

Yes.

Horford, Teague, Korver, Milsap are all better than what we have.

The sad part is Casey probably hsa team watch Lou perfect his iso chucks in practice. We are so easy to gameplan against....

Our team defense is so trash. Ive never seen a team fall for so many pumpfakes.

I'm convinced; they're the Spurs of the East. Horford is a Duncan clone. Teague is a Parker clone. Korver is a Manu clone.

It's not even strategically where the main issues are. It's the culture and approach of the team that needs a change.

I know we are not playing up to our potential but instead of completely blaming this train wreck on the Raps maybe we should be giving credit for our loss to a superior Atlanta team who are shooting lights out. Atlanta deserves to be #1 in the East.
