scottt Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Had we won last night, many on this board would have been planning a championship parade down Peachtree Street. Sure, we played like hell last night, and at this point Boston is a better team than are we. Lets not forget that this opening schedule has been brutal. Frankly, I am OK with a 2-3 record at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnArborHawk Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Definitely. We weren't supposed to win any of the first 5 games. I said at the beginning of the year, I'd be pretty happy with 2-3. Anything more than that and I'd have been ecstatic, but remember this is already better than we're supposed to be, and chances are we continue to get better.

TheDude Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Overeact is the name of this board. Win one game, we are the best in the league. Lose one game, the entire team sucks. It's like we've got walking bottles of emotion around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted November 10, 2007 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Other than the inevitable "Woodson sucks" comments, I've been fairly impressed with how focused people have been in their criticisms relative to past seasons. (For example, most people seem to realize that the rebounding disparity from last night's game was an aberration better known as MVP Kevin Garnett). Still, the same problems have reared their ugly heads in each game: poor PG play, Josh Smith thinking he's Reggie Miller, and offensive stagnation. Those need to be addressed and are worthy of discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithSentinel Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 That is what I noticed. Hawks beat the Suns and everyone is proud of the team. Hawks lose to a bunch better team that is playing lights out right now. All of the sudden they are terrible. I didn't even bother coming to this board last night. I knew majority of the posters here would want the entire team traded,the coaching staff fired,Belkin to assume control,BK fired, the baskets torn down at Philips even though the game was played in Boston,etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted November 10, 2007 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 BTW, a funny quote from Woodson: Quote: "But this is a great team. Hopefully the next time we see the Celtics we'll be a little better prepared, I guess, because we only played a quarter and a half tonight. AJC: Hawks remain winless on the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MLibid Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I agree. We've won games that we were supposed to lose and lost against teams that we were estimated to get dominated in. The only game we played ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE was against Boston. The Nets game was win-able and definetly the Pistons. But like Sekou said, wins and losses don't come with asterisks. We've just got to move on and look towards how we can win the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexmethylphenidate Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 We need AJ to come back and force Woodsuck to limit Lue minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
