khaos7 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I was ecstatic when I found out Indy lost and we clinched a playoff berth. Then I thought about it; which excites Hawks' fans more? The notion of getting rid of a regime that has underperformed, under produced, and underachieved? Or making it to the playoffs after nearly a decade? Which excites you more? The anticipation of making the playoffs? Or reading a breaking news update on ESPNews stating Billy Knight and Mike Woodson will not be retained?

coachx Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 1 word: Playoffs ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnakinJoe Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 PLAYOFFS! The whole point is to win the trophy and that starts with entering the tournament. Not to mention that a great GM with a bottom 3 payroll is kind of like taking a FUGLY girl to Bloomingdale's for a shopping spree. You'll still leave with an ugly girl, wearing couture, but still BUTT ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plainview1981 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 New coach and GM. These are just warm up games for Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iman Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Yup, I'm very glad to see us make the playoffs and I'll be there watching. However, I'm just hoping we don't get blown away in more than one game, and one win would be nice in my mind. Two or three wins and I'd still probably be just as excited thinking about next year than the playoffs. To me the bigger deal than the new coach is what we do with our players. Is Anderson really coming over? Do we also find another center? How much will Smoove and Chillz get? Who do we get for our bench to replace Salim etc? Was Acie injured or will he play much more next year, especially with a new coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruJerz Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 playoffs for sure! Of course there are many coaches who are better but Woodson has helped this squad reach the playoffs...gotta give him some credit man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 The playoffs will be quite the exciting time for us fans, and after a long drought, I am glad we are back. However, as many know, this should not be the "Get Out of Jail Free" card that Woodson [and BK] need to stay here. They both need to go. I sure hope we end up having both instead of just the playoffs. Nevertheless, bring on Boston! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexmethylphenidate Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 The good thing about it is that they play on the road first... so any steals would take off tremendous pressure while Boston has to hold ground. But back to the main question... the notion that the coach will be fire or not is uncertain at this point; if you were to say that the ASG will announce their firing of Woody and that TNT will announce their playoff schedule on the same day, which one would I'd be more excited for... and stay up late to see? That's pretty easy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted April 15, 2008 Moderators Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 The playoffs and our recent play is more exciting to me. The coaching/GM decisions are critically important ones but in terms of excitement it is a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Mule Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hawks are going to the playoffs! Our coach & our G.M. will still be with Atlanta as they enter the Playoffs and still be here when we exit the Playoffs, no matter how short or long our stay happens to be. So, the question is, what are we more excited about: 1- Something we know that is going to happen - The Playoffs! OR 2- Something that might or might not happen sometime in the future. Gee. Hard question. I vote Playoffs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpyphish1 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Honestly, I would rather have a new coach than have made the 8 seed of the playoffs as a team with a losing record. Go ahead and tell me I'm a bad fan. You're wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been nine...nine years since I been able to say that. Mookie, Smitty and the crew held the torch then. They were "mature" players on the back side of their prime. Now we have young players leading the charge. I am just happy we won't have to sit, wonder and watch from the sidelines; glad we have a dog in the fight. Nevertheless Woody must be terminated unless he can pull the upset and defeat Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusBoyIsBack Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 What a foolish question. Playoffs by far. The reason we wanted a new coach was to help us make the PLAYOFFS. This is our first post-season trip this century. What a freaking dumb question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a freaking dumb question we made the playoffs but I still want the coach and GM gone but to answer your question,playoffs.I didn't just want a new coach for just a playoff appearance,I wanted a good team that can beat any team on any givin night,without it just being "their night".
