If TOR wins at CHA, Hawks will be #11 in the East, and deservedly so. 

Birdbrain Hawks.

every time it's the same story, they play well for 40 minutes and then the meltdown. What's happening with this team???

Not over yet of course but... Jesus... 

those wasted possessions really hurt

silly foul. 

 Good first half. Let's see if they can keep it up. Go Hawks!

My goodness. Hali just posted a 27 point, 15 assist, 0 turns in the IST semis.

I think Hali wasn't drafted because he doesn't really have Hawks DNA.

(I guess he saw Draymond in OO like he saw Steph in Trae??)

Yeah that scrub Schlenk really did us in. Such a scammer. He even made coach Bud leave.

Ok, if as you say the team is built wrong, you don't throw out the baby with the bath water for picks that you have no idea where they will fall.  

And as long as we keep penny pinching, we will ALWAYS be behind the 8-ball.

Yeah, sure, but should we stay the course if/when we fail to even make the play-in?

@BrazilianHawk you gotta take the mindset of the outsiders and relax. 

 

Honestly, I'm not one to advocate for a rebuild unless I can't see anything happening that can make the team better. You will find posts from me complaining about Schlenk not extending a contract for 30 y.o. Millsap when the team was decaying after the ECF loss against Bron's Cavs. That team wasn't very good after Horf quit on us, but at least they played with a lot of grit. I don't see it now. The team is really soft and to me there are a bunch of players that don't look very interested in getting any better. And we're getting older. CC and Bogi will be "gone" sooner rather than later. 

I'm very frustrated with the team and the direction it's going right now. We can barely beat the Pistons and the Generals, er... Wizards, I mean. Where do we go from here?

1. These 1sts you get will they be guaranteed top 10 picks? top 5 picks?

2. Do you have faith that Landry and Kyle will hit on the 'next' in the next 3 or so drafts?   or are we in for more Marvin, Chills, Smooth, Shellhead picks? Remember what that looked like.

1. I don't know. Even top picks in bad years could be total busts. The way I see it, we are doomed to be mid for the foreseeable future if we just continue to do what has been done for the last few years. One could argue that its still a young team with Trae and Murray, but I can't see this team getting much better unless one of them (or both) is sent elsewhere. Once in a blue moon they play well together, and even so chances are we lose because of our D. I don't know. This team is build wrong IMHO. We should try and recoup some of the draft assets we sent away.

2. No. After the Luka-Trae trade I have absolutely NO faith in anyone drafting for the Hawks but even a broken clock is right twice a day, so maybe they can get it right in the next few years. Who knows?

Trae, Hunter, OO, Capela all deserve some blame for screw ups at different times but where's that energy for DJ who scored 1 basket in the second half and put up a fourth quarter goose egg.  I mean if we're going to scape goat someone let's start with the guy who supposed to be our #2.

No fcking way. I can’t. I know I said that in 2016 but.. we HAVE THE PIECE IN TRAE. Calm down folks!

I wish we had. That trade might have set us back an entire decade. But it is what it is.

what do you want to do to start over?

I don't think we're in position to even make the play-in if we continue to play this "defense" every single game. Something has to give. 

Whether a total rebuild dealing both Trae and Murray for 3-4 firsts plus bad salary or a retool getting rid of one of them plus some combination of Hunter/Bey/AJ for a decent big + pick, I don't know. This roster isn't capable to guard anyone. 

Boring games with boring endings, I'm sick of seeing we get pummeled in the paint. OO, btw, will NEVER be a decent 5. He can go as well, I don't mind. 

How much longer before we start over? This team is boring as hell. 

Other than JJ, I would be willing to deal them all. 

Hawks might be the most unclutch team in the History of the NBA... losing 99-98 at the end of the 3rd, then this...

Do you really think Trae is going to stay here thru all this mediocracy. He already owns a home in LA.

If they don't turn this around fast Trae is out of here. The Hawks are on the clock. They are closer to imploding than a championship.

Well I don't see any way of getting much better really fast. It that is the case, Hawks should be thinking about trading him to the West coast for a king's ramson while Trae is still happy in the A.   

Just saying.

Only 6 pages... Here we go...

At this point, everyone already knows Hawks are going nowhere this season. 

They might even not make the play-in, so no one is surprised anymore with the pile of crap they're watching nowadays.

Griffin with all zeros again

He's just not good. 

Such amazing defense! 

So far, so good. A nice little run to put us up double digits. 

eh, strange, no one high-fived OO.

GO HAWKS!

I think we're pretty much screwed for the season without JJ, but still. At least Dre has awakened from his deep sleep.

I hope your family is well in the heat.

Thank you! 

Yeah, we're kinda used to the heat during spring and summer where I iive, but it's been a little bit hotter for the last 10 days or so. Hopefully the heat wave will be over soon.
