BTW: Miami is a horrible loss this time if it happens, Miami without Chris Bosh is a lottery team and he's out this Friday. At least with Bosh, they're semi decent, without, nope.

And it happened. SMDH at this team.

After the Miami game, 2-8

I agree with Supes about this team being inconsistent.  They will finish a few games over .500 this year.  Let's call this 10 a 5-5 stretch.

Has a team ever won 60 games then failed to make the playoffs in the following season?

The Bulls did it in 99 , When Jordan and Pippen left , after winning their 6th championship . 62-20 to 13 - 37 * (lock out year)
The Spurs almost did it in 95-96 
They were 59- 23 the next season they were 20 - 62 because , David Robinson and Sean Elliott had season ending injuries .

Those teams lost Hall of Famers that were some of the greatest players to ever play at their positions ... .. We lost Dmc and Pero  lol 

[615Hawk]

Seems to be an effort issue to me. Guys just not playing motivated and then picking it up in the second half of games. 

[LamarHampton]

I'll chime in. Book me at 3-7. This team has fallen and it can't get up. Maybe 2-8. Absolutely pathetic. No chance we even come close to beating GSW.

After these last 2 games:; 1-9.

A 38 year old Nique was the Spurs leading scorer that season. Hard to blame them for that rough season.

About those next 10 games being critical, so far the Hawks are 0-3.

They'll win versus the Bulls on Friday.

And the bad thing is all of the good vibes the Hawks built up last year, are being torn down with all of these home losses.  If the Hawks can't win home games, why should the fans even come out?

Chicago game is almost a must win.  None of these games coming up will be a walk in the park.  Not even the Laker game.

Somehow, the Hawks need to right this ship, and at least win 5 of their next 7 games, to go 5 - 5 during these stretch of games.  

To do that, they're going to have to take out one of Golden State, Toronto, or the LA Clippers ... on the road.

Otherwise, that 2 - 8 worst case scenario prediction is looking more ominous.

This is another reason that doing nothing (or worse than nothing) at the deadline was a horrible decision.   As a fan it just makes it seem like the organization isn't all in at making some noise this season.    It definitely kills the desire to pay to go to games the rest of the way.      It feels like a lame duck team.

Looking at the schedule, i got a bad feeling  hawks will lose a bunch of games knowing how they are playing lately.. I still hope Hawks can still make the playoffs though

Yep. Sure looking forward to getting embarrassed again. 

[macdaddy]

Oh crap.   We have the hardest schedule by far in the east the rest of the way based on opponent winning percentage .540

The 15th pick is the best they would probably get if they miss the playoffs. So, it's not likely to help much.
