They're both talented players who entered a winning situation with a guy that seems to make every player better no matter who you are....Mo Williams and Daniel Gibson played like All Stars when they were teamed up with LeBron in Cleveland. Leaving the Knicks is the best thing that can happen to any player.

Lebron doesn't make everyone better, he just makes everyone's min and max impact in a certain range that limits some players but makes others seem better.

I admire your optimism. I really do believe you are the most optimistic Hawks fan on our forum.

I wish we had Ivan Johnson.

Not even going to bother with the ignorance on General board. I'm sure everyone left and right is bashing the Hawks...eff them.

We are already playing against the refs...the shooting amazingly from 3 doesn't help.

Just remember that they're almost all either bandwagon fans or their team is worse than ours by a massive margin.

Cavs just look really loose and confident. They think they're playing with house money.

Oh, we aren't winning this game, but a run is coming...mostly because this is basketball.

My optimism comes in me still thinking this series goes 7...depending on our health.

There it is :lol:

It's alright, I'll take a 60 win season and a first ever appearance in the ECF.

Here's to this off season and hoping we can make some improvements :beer:

Just have to build on this going forward. Last year we lost in 7 in round 1 and this year we won 60 games and made the conference finals. Playoff experience will help, but we still need a consistent go to guy for the playoffs in order to take that next step. A little size wouldn't hurt either as much as I love Millsap.

What a surprise, the bench mob outperforms the starters. They're pretty much the only ones who still run the system.

Was really hoping we would get a chance to draft Myles Turner but looks like it won't happen after that Nets purge in the last second.

Same here, I love Turner. I still think some good value could fall to us at 15.

If we're going to play like this, we might as well not even go to Cleveland.

azuresou1 · Post #237 » by **azuresou1** » Sat May 23, 2015 2:38 am

I'm not convinced a lot of our guys think they can even beat Cleveland. They sure don't look it.

Bud has gotten completely out coached and his stubborn refusal to move off non production people is just unfathomable.

Regular season COTY has so much to learn about post season play.

Mike Scott can't play defense

You guys need to rid yourselves of zeros like Antic and sign some cheacp rebounders/shotblocker replacement like Aldrich. Your rebounding is the main thing holding you back.

Well, other than your team's inexplicable switch to iso ball in the playoffs. What the hell happened to the ball movement?

I think what killed us was having the players all making the allstar game. They all started feeling more me instead of we, and I think that that might have been why. All the non allstars have played well besides pero who just sucks and Scott who's really streaky.
