    With our team this year who knows? I just hope next year with a full offseason of Snyder he figured out a way to make our roster work with whatever changes we make over the off season

    I just dont think he is an issue and is a plus for the team. Hes a hardhat work pale guy with great leadership skills. Every team needs that so why get rid if him probably for next to nothing. Id say Hunter is more of an ups and downs issue and he is more injury prone.

    His worse play seems to be directly related to his finger issue. Hope he gets surgery on it.

    Yea probably that, Anderson and Justice were clutch I loved Matt Ryan but he should have audibled a run in the SB.
  5. swanlee
    Yes but pretty much different teams with different players. I'll give props to Smoltz himself but many teams he was on choked in the spotlight.

    Been an ATL sports fan since the late 70's, was born and raised here and have had to deal with our teams either outright sucking like the 80's or things like the 98 and 2016 super bowl, tons of Braves chokes over the years in post season and a Hawks team destined for mediocrity besides the Glorious Nique Years who still did not win it all. I've seen stars fold like lawn chairs and ATL teams collapse at the most crucial times. And while I still love the stars we've had over the years I do not recall us every having a rising superstar like Trae who not only performs under the spotlight he actually seems to play better then more pressure he is under. And ironically everyone outside of the ATL hates him and think we will trade him. Yea screw that Trae is the real deal,

    As annoying as this season was this win pretty much seals it as a positive for us. Miami play-in win was awesome, Last night was amazing AND we hired Snyder for 5 years at least. Being so Mid all year was frustrating but I have 100% confidence in Snyder and from wat I've seen the team has all bought in with him so the skies the limit. Any playoff where we get clutch Trae stabbing the heart of a rival is good to me.

    All Trae does is win under pressure, I would not want anyone in the NBA taking a last second 30 +footer to win a big game besides Trae taking that shot. 28 and 10 are pretty much HOF numbers which he does consistently in the regular season and then add in his under pressure spotlight time performances and he will probably be considered one of the all time greats when he retires. People not only seem to expect Trae to be perfect 100% of the time but they also have a fit when he pulls a rabbit out of hit hat like last night.

    Yea the hair splitting going on is pretty tiring, hey maybe if you did not spend years trashing Trae t not ends you would not feel bad about walking it back when he steps up and delivers in clutch. He is under such a huge and unfair microscope compared to other rising Stars in the league.

    For once on an ATL sports team we have a prime time player that not only does NOT wilt under pressure dare I say Trae NEEDS the pressure to perform at this best. This is pretty amazing, and as he gets older he will adjust to not NEED constant pressure but it is great that at 24 he already performs this good in the Spotlight He is like the Anti Ben Simmons

    I did think it was an over pay to sign Hunter. To many injuries and he does not have that decisive killer instinct that Jalen does and we are better with Jalen and Bey in rotation. Hunter need to stay healthy andvuse his size better and be more deliberate on offense.

    Na, mental health issues are no joke and need to be healed like any physical injury. This kind of attitude will push people off the deep end.

    To me this one win is a fine sendoff and proof that Quinn is the right guy for this team long term. Anything else we do is gravy. With the crazy ups and down ill take a play in win and call it good and be excited for next year.
  14. swanlee
    Maybe but I'd still like a division title now and again and also never a season as mid as this one please. The Miami win was cathartic so its all gravy from this point. We now though have a win where we can point to and say Quinn out coached a well respected franchise. This could be THE game where things not only turn around but Validates Quinn to the entire Roster
  15. swanlee
    Man Quinn is a good coach, seems to be a BB savant at times
  16. swanlee
    I'll give him a year under Snyder and his finger being fixed before I'd trade him, we have more issues and more players to sign before JC is an issue
  17. swanlee
    I said it many times during the year but we are the most 41-41 team ever in the NBA, we are so mid 41-41- had to be our final record this year. Really weird as I think with our roster and with Snyder we should be a 50 win team easily but something is really off with this team and I'm not really sure what it is.
  18. swanlee
    Id be open to moving Hunter if that meant keeping Bey and Murray. Hunter seem eternal mid and eternally nicked up. One of our young core guys I did not want to sign long-term.
  19. swanlee
    I really think both will be keys to our long term success especially now with Snyder running things. Given the contracts they might command can we keep rhem long-term? Also Id still like to keep JC. The only core starter I would not care trading is Hunter. So does anyone think its realistic to most keep our top 10 intact?
  20. swanlee
    So back to under .500 tonight?
  21. swanlee
    Doubt it, think fate will have us at 41 and 41 this year.
  22. swanlee
    pretty funny, it's obvious we will either finish the season 41-41 or 40-42 We are such a weird team
  23. swanlee
    Bummer, maybe AJ will get some time?
  24. swanlee
    Hes even worse on defense and never gets to the free throw line
  25. swanlee
    Thats horrible, would be silly to gut our young roster like that.
