Is this a real thread?  What is that “T word” you used?  I think recent history suggests the Hawks will grant Dennis a few visits to some teams and then a week later just outright cut him.

Was right on the money in 2015.  One game off last year so I fully expect me to nail it again this season.  

Official prediction:  29-53

No later than May 1, 2018 the Hawks are looking for a new head coach.

Was off on the record a bit.  Gave them too much credit.  I nailed the second half of my prediction though!

LOL, you must didn't watch the games yesterday.  Golden State's defense was magnificent.  I think it'll be Golden State and 76ers or Toronto.

Cleveland is going to struggle.

The entire eastern conference is ripe for the taking for Cleveland...again.  Boston is a joke without Kyrie.  Toronto is struggling mightily with Washington.  The Sixers are most likely the only hope to keep Cleveland out of the finals.  

Philly has some quality veterans who are very key to their success.  Especially in the playoffs.  Two were on the Hawks roster and I believe they got nothing for Illy and Belly.  

My personal rooting interests lie with Milwaukee.  Love watching Giannis and hope he stays with them for awhile.  The Sixers are fun to watch as well.  I would like to see Milwaukee/Minnesota in the NBA finals.  

What I think will happen is Cleveland and Houston meet and the Rockets ultimately prevail.  The Warriors are vulnerable and not healthy.  

Lance Stephenson never change!!!!

Wild ending in Boston to close regulation. Only to see Milwaukee collapse in OT.  Pacers pounding Cleveland early on.  

Golden State spanked San Antonio with ease.  Not a surprise.  Toronto and Washington was exciting for a bit.  The Wizards can ball as we witnessed last year.    The Raptors are a different team and that bench is great.  I can see Washington pushing this series to six games though.  Philly destroyed Miami.  Didn’t watch much of that.  AD and the Pelicans upset the Blazers in Portland.  Didn’t see any of this game.

So what did this win do for the Hawks lottery situation?  It looks like they are 4th as of right now.  Orlando is going to lose tonight and by all accounts the Hawks should be no worse than 5th at the close of the season?  

So are the Hawks locked into fourth or fifth pick based on the standings or what is the likely scenario?

Much ado about nothing.  Schlenk hates free agents and spending money unless it’s to spend money on a player who plays for another team, but collects a paycheck from the Hawks.

They were the 3rd seed in the West before Butler got hurt. Please Jesus let the Hawks get that level of trash soon.

Thibedau is a poor coach.  The Wolves are still bad defensively, have no depth, or consistent shooting from the perimeter.  The Hawks will win just as many playoff series as your beloved Wolves too.  

Suns have this thing mastered.  That was impressive last night.  

Wolves are trash, but will make the playoffs.  That schedule down the stretch is laughable.  

Watched about half the game and lol at the players the Hawks are trotting out there.  People need to pump the brakes about KAT being a hall of fame player too.  He literally carved up a d league roster last night.  

Denver sucks and Minnesota has an easy path to the playoffs.  

What is a Damion Lee and why is it starting for the Hawks?

Damn idiots!  Winning last night not only hurts their draft pick, but also my wallet.  Parlay was 2/3 complete until this game went south.  

I have seen next to no games this season, but it’s hard to justify paying a guy who puts up meh numbers on a bad team.  He seems like a quality big, but anything more than a 3/30 million extension is too much imo.

What do we know now?

literally never heard of the players the hawks got today.

Yeah I don’t understand what’s BS about it either.  I am sure the Bucks asked if Dennis was available and the Hawks said yes or no.  If, yes then I imagine Milwaukee floated some sort of package and the Hawks said no thanks.

Would only be worth it if when he is introduced each game that DJ Khaled song comes on....

”Welcome to the Hooooood!”

Who gets all the blame now that Love is out?  Gotta be Korver, right?

Think the Clippers are getting a good return on Blake.  Bradley is a good two way player and Tobias is still young and already very solid.  Blake helps Detroit, but that’s a lot for a guy who doesn’t do enough to help his new team out.

Nasty injury.  Hope the kid recovers fully.  He is a perfect fit on that team too.  Good defensively and can hurt you on offense if you allow him to.  Wonder if they look at Bazemore now?

Good to see the Wizards find their footing last night!
