Alex Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Fun while it lasted, but the Hawks have fallen back into reality. Nobody cares about this team again. Once again they are completely irrelevant in the league again. It only took one off season of Bud and company in the front office to screw it all up. Kudos to them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High5 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Back to a few posters being a lot more active. At least until we win a few games and they go back into hiding waiting for the next tough loss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've done peaked, and the league has figured Bud out. Honestly, the Spurs could have sat their starters last night and still got a win. Pop OWNS Bud and Bud knows it. That's why he is starting to act like a bitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Jody23 Posted December 13, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Bud is a good coach and I believe what he runs can work. But it's not going to with this current group of players. Outside of Korver, you're trying to play "pace and space" with guards who can't shoot. You play the majority of your games with undersized bigs and get outrebounded consistently as a result. And as always, they have no one who can get their own shot consistently when the play breaks down. Just like the former core, we already know this one went as far as it could go last year. The former core didn't get broken up until Ferry came in. How long will it be before they realize they have to break this one up also? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 You want Atlanta to tank? Prime example of how this works is the 76ers. Do you really wish the Hawks to be like this? Last 2 games have shown the Hawks falling on their face. This happens to the very best of teams. Golden State just lost their first one. Hawks will be better. They must. This can't continue. Atlanta teams keep falling down and can't get up. A fine example happened to the Falcons in Charlotte today. The Braves are looking for 2017, not 2016 and the Dream don't even play until next summer. We have nothing left but the Hawks. Please Hawks, wake up. We need you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBASupes Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Philly reminds me of Washington but worse when they first got Wall. Too many young players who have no clue on how to win. Kills your development badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'll pass that by the all star break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggins - two way athletic freak Towns - two way athletic freak Lavine- Athletic freak ( haven't watched him enough to make a generalization) I dont know, i just like them more than philly plus they got this talent in only two years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
