Will we win another game this month?

[TheNorthCydeRises]

The next 6 definitely look like losses.   We have Sacramento coming in on a Wednesday night on Nov 15th.  After that, we have a nice 5 out of 6 game home stand.

But the question remains . . . will we win another game this month?   If we don't, we'll be 1 - 20 going into December.

[StephenHawking]

In all honesty I think we have had our chances so far to win games. I think those will occur also in the next couple of games. For now our big problem is everybody going ice cold in the crunch time. If we can somehow solve this problem I can see us grinding out one or more wins.

Not as long as Bazemore is getting major minutes.

And Muscala or major time with a Collins/Babbitt front court or the Delaney/Taylor Benlinelli/Babbitt/ Collins line up.

I’ve always tied the Hawks’ chances of winning to his minutes.  Anything over 25 and the win probability plummets.  I was so happy late last year when Tim and Taurean came on and reduced his minutes to around that level, sometimes 23.  

I gotta find some silver lining to him being here on a mini-max: helping us secure a hopefully franchise-changing player. The Basketball Gods shall smile upon us in the lottery.  As sad as it sounds the Suns and Mavs have had better franchise fortune than us, I can’t withstand them being slotted before the Hawks this summer.

Side bar, has anyone watched Dirk?  He move like he got on skates with a walker.

Will we win another game this season? The league should impose penalties on teams that deliberately tank. 

[Packfill]

This Hawks team is terrible.  

[Thomas]

When Bembry and Ersan are back you would think that would reduce the minutes of Moose and remove all of Delaney's minutes. Hopefully reduce Baze's as well (ok, Bud just won't lower minutes for Baze like ever). But even with them coming back our shooting won't improve unless Ersan has snapped out of his funk so think we are going to continue to fall short. Maybe snag a couple if the threes fall.

As bad as the Cavaliers are playing there's probably 50-50 chance of beating them even though will probably still lose.

[lethalweapon3]

The Hawks will be in the middle of 4-games-in-6-nights stretches for all but two of their 14 games this month.

Those exceptions? At home versus The Fightin' Horfords (November 18, Hawks on 3 days' rest), and at home versus whatever's left of Cleveland (November 30, Hawks on 5 days' rest).

So, yeah, it's not looking too hot! Kangz boutta get waxed, tho. November 15, mark the date!

so, are we looking at setting the all-time loss record with this current version of the team? While I like the rebuild, the all-time loss record would suck.

[Sothron]

We shouldn't set the all time loss record. We've lost some winnable games. It isn't like we are going out there and being punked by 30 point losses.

[StephenHawking]

I think we're playing perfect tanking basketball. Always tight games. Always losses. 

I guess this issue of not being able to finish games will fade away. 

Outside of Dennis those players just need to get used to the limelight. Its on bud to give them enough  minutes to better their game. It's on Bud to give the vets enough minutes to raise their market value. Let's see how all that pans out in the end 

[hazer]

Yes. When daFro and Illyasovavichkovchev return to the lineup. Plus IT is a great addition and Delamey plays better off the ball.

Yes, if we maintain our current trajectory, we are on line to win 10 games, so we won't be the all time worst.

May be time to have a sit-down conversation with Fred Carter. You know the supposed best player on the worst team of all time, in the NBA that is. Nine wins in 72-73. Vegas odds are at work overtime right now for our season.

Another game this month?  Wouldn’t they have had to win one already for that to be true.

[NBASupes]

Considering the Atlanta factor, you know now that we suck, players will be in the clubs like a mf and the fact that we play hard, I could see one or two wins this month. I think we could average two wins a month.

He's one of the worst starters in the NBA. I think you can make a case that he's the most overpaid non injured player in all the NBA.
