Guest Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Made SI's list of 50 games to watch for ...http://www.si.com/nba/2015/08/12/nba-schedule-lebron-james-stephen-curry-anthony-davis-top-50-games Hmm, so tune in to see that awful DET team? SFW if he remembers accusations. I wanna walk up to Delly and stick my middle finger in his face then proceed to stick my index finger in his eye...a bit childish but he needs a good "punking" as the kids say.

JETSET Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I would post it on here if I knew how to embed a picture but I just saw a graph that breaks down the schedules of each team. The Hawks have the 2nd easiest schedule in the league according to this graph. Cleveland has the easiest schedule of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JETSET Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Bet the house on over/under 46.5...OVER...ok not the house but a small farm Only 2 of our first 17 games are against teams who finished with a top 7 seed last year. Miami and New Orleans are the other two tough games in that first 17. Other than the 4 game/5 night stretch, we have a VERY easy schedule to start the season.

Just wait a half-year when he'll be on a DLeague squad where he belongs. Less security at games. Only 2 of our first 17 games are against teams who finished with a top 7 seed last year.

"Uhhhh, the Hawks record is inflated by the easy schedule, blah, blah, blah ... Wait, they beat 6 playoff teams on the road ..... meh, point differential wasn't high enuff, blah, blah, blah ..."

I don't care what they say as long as we secure home court through at least the second round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted August 13, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Bet the house on over/under 46.5...OVER...ok not the house but a small farm That seems like a good bet. That's pretty tempting. To me the biggest factor in the Hawks total wins (or anyone in the east) is how many east teams will be trying for the playoffs this year? Last year i feel like there were about 7 even though you could make the case there were 9. There seems to be more east teams shooting for the playoffs this year but we'll see how that looks in January. Still seems like a good bet we'll be around 50 wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put us closer to 55 or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I'm gonna say 56 or 57 wins for the Hawks. Honestly, I don't really care how many regular season games we win as long as we are: 1. Healthy going into the playoffs 2. Playing well going into the playoffs 3. Have home court as a #1-4 seed (if not #1, then 2 or 3. Avoiding 4th would be ideal.) Edited August 13, 2015 by Spud2Nique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted August 13, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 So C-viv has an article about the 8pm game time. Nothing too earth-shattering but in typical C-viv fashion drops this weird statement at the end. A new court will be unveiled with red and blue no longer being a part of the team’s color scheme. I'm guessing this is just poor writing (surprise). I'm pretty sure that red is still part of our color scheme. In fact our primary color. I guess maybe he's trying to say we will have a red court since blue is no longer....? http://www.ajc.com/news/sports/basketball/atlanta-hawks-8-pm-starts-a-ticket-scan-shows-a-lo/nnJjF/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Just a quick look and there's about 20 games on TV for out of market fans. That's probably the total from the last 5 years combined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member BrazilianHawk Posted August 13, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Easy schedule? There is no such thing. Hawks must give their all night in and night out. I don't wanna see no losses to the Sixers, Pistons, Hornets, Knicks, Celts and all of their horrific counterparts. Must play 48 minutes every game! GO HAWKS!

The logo in the middle might still be red, but the rest of the court could very well be all black, with a volt and/or white scheme in the paint, out of bounds, and 3 point line. I think they're going to do something radical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're going to do something radical. I thought that too but then I remembered Koonin saying that the court needed to be a light color for the 3D projection thingy so now I'm not too sure. I hope they go radical with a granite gray court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Jody23 Posted August 14, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Anybody know exactly when they'll reveal the new court design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Our schedule strength looks a good bit easier than lastyear. We only have 2 stretches of 4 games in 5 nights. The unfortunate thing about these two is that they are both in November when we will still be working towards getting healthy and getting accustomed to the new guys. There are only 27 instances of 4 games in 5 nights in the entire league. Why do we get 2 of them? Should be one for every team. Bull kaka Silver!!!
