6-8 Playoff Spot

[reeballin4]

The top 5 in the east is basically locked with Miami, Chicago, Indiana, Brooklyn, and New York but there are a few teams that could land the 6-8 spot.

Atlanta

Cleveland

Detroit

Washington

Toronto

Do you think we will be able to make the playoffs this year?

[Jody23]

I hope and pray we don't.

[Jody23]

You might throw the Bucks in that mix also.

[ATLHawks3]

Washington, Atlanta, Cleveland in that order.

[Bonkers]

Hopefully not

We need to be top 10 in the draft. Why don't yall get that??? Do u want the hawks to continue to be a treadmill team?

[Jody23]

I think Cleveland is definitely better and both Detroit and Toronto should finish ahead of us.

[ATLHawks3]

I think Cleveland is definitely better and both Detroit and Toronto should finish ahead of us.

On paper, yes. But that team will not be able to stay healthy.

I think Cleveland is definitely better and both Detroit and Toronto should finish ahead of us.

Oden will play more games than Bynum. I don't like Cleveland at all depending on this guy.

Hawks, Pistons, Wizards is who i have for the last 3 spots.

I'm not banking on Bynum. Without him, I still think the Cavs are better and I think the Raptors are better also. The Hawks are gonna stink defensively and on the boards.

Miami

Chicago

New York

New Jersey

Indiana

Atlanta

Detroit

Washington, Cleveland, Toronto, and Milwaukee will battle for last spot. None of those teams have shown to be winners. I think we have too many true professionals to not make the playoffs

[Nicholasp27]

Knicks nowhere near a lock for #5

[DJlaysitup]

The logical thinking is - Horford to CHI - KK to a contender for a piece or a pick - and Milsap as a possible trade as well at the trade deadline for a low 1st or high 2nd and capspace.

Actually capspace will be key.

Keep Teague just to p!ss him off.

Strategic rebuild.

Shaq had us and Knicks missing the playoffs and the Bobcats with the 8 seed lol. But for real, we need to tank.

Atlanta - out of playoffs in 9th spot.

I think there's a chance the Hawks miss the playoffs. Personally, I hope they make it. Best possible finish would be 6th place and the worst is 9th.

I think the Bucks want in the lottery. I'm also thinking Toronto may opt for that too eventually. Detroit Cleveland Washington Atlanta will fight for 3 playoff spots i think.

I'm praying we can foster a culture of losing and huge draft failures.

We have to tank. If the nba screws us why not screw them back. Tank it in Stern's left eye(that's what she said)....That's why Celts are a winning franchise, they know when to go for it(2007) with kg pierce and Allen and when to blow it up(2013). It's so unfair. I understand winning culture but just lay down like spurs did in 97 and got Duncan. Even if we don't get 1st pick,2nd and 3rd are still worth it...Parker, randle...comon hawks just lay down for a year, it'll go fast and be painless lol.

I hear ya. It was tough to pick where Atlanta, Milwaukee, Toronto, Cleveland, Detroit, and Washington would fall. They could all make the playoffs depending on how the other teams in that bracket perform.

Not sure I agree with the trades, but Had to like it. Too funny
