I had season tickets for a couple season but dropped that year before last. But this guy, That's dedication right there. Dumpster fires usually have much cheaper admission prices. Good on you my man

I appreciate the kind words, and while I do go to every home game, I can't take credit for spending the much higher than they should be ticket prices to get into the arena on gameday. I get in as part of the 6th man section, which brings with it the perk of free tickets.

Tbh if not for the section I wouldn't be watching this dumpster fire from home. This is looking like a 25-win team (might be a generous estimate) which charges 45-win team prices for tickets (mostly due to the renovations I suppose).

Bembry was great but made a lot of costly mistakes late.

:D

[b][/To be this exciting, to carry a game into overtime and still hold on to our place in the standings, just WOW!

Grand daughter wants Moose gone. I feel that way about Blazeless. But, on the other hand, he assures the Hawks
that they keep their place in the standings.

As bad as we look, or as good, how many NBA teams can say that their second unit is just about as good as
their starting five? Hawks have three main men out with injuries, yet life goes on. Hawks may trade away
some of these players for draft picks OR young, underused players.

Not wishing my life away, but, next season, hurry and get here!!

What was that horse gallup thing Baze kept doing? I did not care for that.

Good and bad that Cavanaugh and Taylor are better than several of the guys we've signed to 2 year deals.

Been watching Dennis more closely on D and he really isn't doing very well. I think the league has learned that you can out muscle him.

How is being in the 6th man section? Had lower bowl season tix for like 4 seasons but the yearly price hikes were just too much. Ended up giving them up 2 years ago and just been catching them on the radio/tv. Miss being at games but don't really want to pay what they are asking for where the team is right now.

A long time ago. He can sometimes slither by picks to avoid contact but get a shoulder, a slick offhand, or get him on your opposite hip and you can effectively negate any pressure he exerts.

This game and last game I've noticed that other players besides Dennis is bringing the ball up court - I wonder if Bud is relieving Dennis of having to initiate EVERYTHING. With Bembry back it certainly helps.

Hello Cavanaugh, Bye Moose.

Agreed, I like Bembry's feel for the game. Moose always seems like he's going to turn the corner into a solid backup and every year there is a flash of it and then nothing, half the time it's like he's not even there. Cavanaugh has exceeded my expectations in every possible way this year. Hope we can continue to grab cheap underrated players and put them in a position to succeed.

It's some of the most fun I've ever had as a Hawks fan, I look forward to it every single home game.

He's 3 of 11 from 3 so far this year, not great but not 1-19 horrible like last year.
