Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Moderators Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Clearly this loss can be blamed on one thing. And one thing alone. KING CAKE. ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd79 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Davis and a lot of missed layups lost that game. Maybe it's better this way so we can fly under the radar again... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benhillboy Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) RIP The Streak. No shame in finally losing this year to that freak they got over there. Let's Go. Edited February 3, 2015 by benhillboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond_dave Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Oh well, not really concerned, but we need to get back to moving the ball on offense. I've seen way to much one on one the last few games. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 What this team did was amazing: Won 19 of 20, Won 24 of 26, Won 33 of 36, Won 35 of 39. Just incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Some thoughts about tonight's loss. I'm happy it came in February and not January . They can't take perfect away from us. I'm happy that we don't have the hate against this team that the Falcons have for the Saints. With this loss we didn't fall out of 1st place. Missed a lot of easy, open shots. It's therefore easy to see why we lost this game. And, their all star power foreward was great. Now that "the streak" is over, on national TV, maybe the spotlight will now be on The King and let us alone. They want and desire all the attention. Atlanta doesn't relish it. Hawks have already won more regular season games than all of last season and we've not reahed the all star game yet. How great is this !! Since we lost, I'm happy that it wasn't close. This is easier to swallow than a 2 point loss. I'm still happy to be a Hawks fan !! GO ATL HAWKS !! Edited February 3, 2015 by Gray Mule 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spursfanpeacemaker Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) I had faith that Hawks was going to win this game, but give Pelicans some credit for shooting the ball really well, and getting all the calls from refs. (Not sure if they got paid by someone to make those BS calls.. but it's not the ref should be fully blamed, Hawks made some mistakes by rushing their shots and not using clock to move the ball and find open man or a better percentage shot). Im also happy to see that they still competed hard even their offense was kinda sluggish, and their defense was about average but their overall effort was really good, I give them credit for that. Good decision by Coach bud by putting all the subs in 4th quarter in 5 minute mark. Clearly, he doesn't want to risk his starters to get injured. It's a good thing that the streak is finally come to an end. You don't want to have that kind of mind set containing the streak rather than focusing and preparing how to win the next game. Learn from this game, and move on to the next one! Stay humble and keep working hard! Edited February 3, 2015 by Spursfanpeacemaker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhillboy Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Special shout outs to Charlotte and Milwuakee (Kidd got them scrubs playing awesome D) for taking a lot of the sting out of this one. Toronto and Washington fail to gain any ground on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plainview1981 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 They've been coming back down to earth the 5 games. The good shooting masked it. Good team, but not as good as they've been for the last 2 months. It was a nice stretch of overachieving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye242424 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 The loss was gonna come... And they"ll be more. We're not to the All-Star game yet. 19 out of 20?. Ummm... I think that's pretty damn good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare the teams that usually go on these kind of streaks. They have great players and the Hawks have good players. Fact is... This team does not have many notable defenders or rebounders. Very little shot blocking. Teams have adjusted to the Hawks scrappy teams. Defenses are more prepared for it and they move the ball better against the Hawks defense.

While we don't have the things you mention, but we compensate. I'll start to worry when we go on a real losing streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
