  1. They aren't Milwaukee or New Orleans who have basically zero playoff experience or veteran leadership.

    Give me a break.

    This is not the bs BK team from early in the regular season.  I'm as guilty as anyone of underestimating this team.  I was disappointed with the Hawks performance after the game 1 win until someone on the board pointed out ,on another thread, how much BK has improved since they acquired Thaddeus Young.  

  2. When's the last time some of you have been to a game? It seems like some of you should spend more time supporting the team and less time questioning the fans who do.

    The notion that fans are bandwagoners if they participate in a chant you don't like is incredibly off base. The 6th man section usually starts the ATL chant and thats the most dedicated fans you will find. We are all bandwagoners if they are.

    If I had my way all those people would be banished for life.  Most of those people are from Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida anyway.

    An argument can be made that Hawks fans should be thanking Johnson. Besides getting a 2013 first-round pick, a condition of the trade that sent him to the Nets allowed Atlanta to swap first-round picks with the Nets this season, meaning the Hawks will select 15th rather than 29th. The trade exception they received helped them land Kyle Korver. If that's not enough, the Hawks also have the Nets' 2017 second-round pick. That certainly sounds like something worth cheering about, but there's a slim chance Johnson will hear any of that on the road in this series.
  4. I have to say I really hated all the Joe booing. He has been a good Hawk for many years (probably one of the best ever, sad to say). Sure he was overpaid but what was he supposed to do, say no to money? I think this makes our fan base look bad.

    I thought it was pretty dumb.  Joe was traded so why in the hell is anyone booing him.  Save the silly booing for the man who paired him with this list of PGs

  5. At what point did I say I found no joy in watching the Hawks?  If that were the case, i wouldn't have watched 90% of the games over the past 30 years.  I watched the game with my kids and at times, we were all dancing and screaming in the living room - especially on those late clutch shots (and pretty much any time Korver hit a 3).  I enjoyed the game and I'm happy we won.  

     

    I am not happy with the way we won and I'm concerned about playing that way vs. better teams.

    That is the thing some don't get.  Even Teague said as much.  That was not championship ball yesterday especially considering the Hawks are a #1 playing a #8.  They better play more fluid on offense or this dream season will come an ugly end soon.

  6. Moose earned minutes.  I know Bud's love affair with Pero will never die but damn, we all witnessed Moose outplay Pero down the stretch.

     

    oh yeah

     

    we won!
