Stop Kicking ROCKS HAWKS FAN...We will be OK

[wolvetigers]

So what, we lost Horford a guy who didnt really want to stay. So let him GO!

What we Have:

• Center (likely Allstar Center in the East)
• Allstar PF
• PG with Tremendous Upside. 

What we Know:

• In buds system and player development look for the following:
• THJ to improve (in year two)
• Prince & Bembry (SFs to make huge strides by midseason)

What we Need:

• Backup Point

What will Happen NEXT:

Hawks will probably move Thabo or Splitter soon to strenthen the roster.

 

Projections:

If we stay healthy, and we get improvements from our young guys then look for us to battle for the #3 spot in the East

EXACTLY....we still have a good team and hopefully a few more moves..we be just fine guys 

[WraithSentinel]

I will get on aboard soon enough. I want to see what they do next.  I am just as upset at the Hawks as I am at Horford for being  a drama queen little bitch.  I hope Howard destroy him every chance he get.

How can you have faith in an organization that hasn't done shit? The Hawks will ALWAYS be losers.

[RWF]

I just don't see any future with the Hawks and Millsap is my problem. Guy turns 32 in January I believe. You going to max him? Or let him leave for nothing, just to get 1 more year out of him?

 

Who is our starting wings? Bazemore just because he's worth 70 mil now, but who else? Korver or Thabo?

With this way of thinking I'm surprised your making post on a Hawks fan forum lol

[ViewsFromTheSquawk]

I see us being a lower seed, but winning our playoff series. I gotta see how this works with Sap and Howard before I claim us to be top 4.... 

[cam1218]

Sap and Schröder were the only guys I remember having memorable playoff games.

I've being saying this for years.

All they do is fail.

[DrReality]

Need to make up for the points Horf contributed.   D12 won't ave what Al did

That's the problem, we will be just OK. Nothing more, nothing less.

Usually if I think somethings gonna fail I don't spend years of my life trying to inform people about it lol but to each his own I guess.

I feel bad that a lot of the media and circumstances surrounding the situation makes people overlook what Dwight can really do for a team like ours.

[ThomasCredle]

Hopefully we can lure a decent vet pg (Jarret Jack?) I think we will still be ok.   I hope Hardway Jr. takes the same leap in performance that Baze and Demare did in their second years, he showed flashes last year.   Milsap D12 and Thabo will be an elite defensive front court.  We will also be able to play more aggressive perimeter D with an actual rim protector at center.  Our pick and roll with Dennis and D12 could be deadly.  Splitter if healthy is a great passer and solid back up center. Dennis could become the star everyone thought he could be and Baze improves again.   Korver as a sixth man sharp shooter is where he should be and something most teams would love to have.  We will be a better team on the glass next year.   This could still be a hell of a year and I hope D12 abuses Horf next season.

Other teams may be just as reluctant to max Sap for multi years and if we have a great year maybe we don't have to give him 5 yrs at max to keep him (not shopping his ass would have helped that a lot though).    This Sap is gone for sure talk is premature.

I don't see the panic and calls to tank when we have an 3 time all star PF,  an all star center a very promising young PG that could be a star, a young emerging SG that was highly desired by other teams.   A solid sixth man and sharp shooter.   Plus a solid back up center and two 1st round picks we have yet to see play.

Do I think the Hawks will win the championship next year no if I'm being honest but we have solid veteran bigs, young talent on the wings and potentially a dynamic back court pairing that could be the envy of the league if they continue to develop.

Maybe next season will be a train wreck but I just can't see the doom and gloom let's give up yet.

We're going to be fine. I have confidence in Coach Bud to continue to build a consistent winner. Al decided to leave over a few million dollars, that's on him. Screw him.

We've still got Splitter as a backup big.

Scott did well enough last season too. Muscala is back as depth.

This means we might put more of an emphasis on Edy this season now, which is a good thing if you ask me. I want to know what we are going to have in him.

At wing we still have Korver, Baze, and Thabo that all have starting experience, and experience in this system.

We've also got Hardaway going into his 2nd season with us and should be indocrinated enough to be a contributor this year.

And then we've got two good young wings to develop, both with very good potential, and a coaching staff that can get it out of them.

The only area we "really" need to adress is the backup PG situation. And we can do that with the MLE or a minor trade. Patterson shouldn't be counted out there either.

We.Will.Be.Fine.

Screw Alice Whoreford! I hope his d*ck turns green and falls off.

Give me a break, Al played 82 games last season, he is fine. We are a .500 club at the moment.

This team WILL be better. When the Hawks shots aren't falling, we can finally dump it inside or pick and roll with a rim finisher .... something Al wasn't. That's just the offense. The defense has already took a step up with true rim protection. Another thing people forgot is Howard back in the east, last time he was here he dominated. 

I saw a comment on Peachtree hoops that said D12 was 108th in touches per game...... SMH.
