It is so refreshing that the Hawks………

[909]

Are not watching ping pong balls and have more important things to concentrate on.

[JayBirdHawk]

What's that? 

[HawksNWaffles]

It's...... something that I'll have to get used to again. I'm old enough to remember the 90's(darn you Jordan) and 2000's Hawk teams, and I can truly say that this regime may be setup for long terms success better than the previous teams. It is indeed refreshing.

I enjoyed our time in the lottery but I am ready to contend for the next 15-20 years

Lol seriously bro. When I heard lottery on tv today my body was shocked and instantaneously got nervous from muscle memory..then I though oh ya, we are in the ECF baaaaabbbyyyyyy!!!!!!!

 

How bout the next lottery pick we make is Trae’s kid  

[Spud2nique]

Btw, full disclosure I did watch it though cuz I wanted the Warriors to not get a 2nd pick which didn’t happen. Also wanted top 3 to be western teams which one the rockets happened.

Yeah but how turrible do the Thunder feel tonight? From potentially having TWO top 5 picks in a draft with 5 elite talents to ending up on the outside looking in at #6.

Ouch.

You're not lying. And do you know who is the happiest that the Hawks aren't in the lottery?

Jami Gertz, the wife of Hawks' owner Tony Ressler. No more watching her get interviewed about good luck trinkets she has by TNT, only for the Hawks to be moved down five spots in the draft order a few minutes later. 

To be honest, I don't even know who the hell is on the draft board or mocks. My focus is on the ECFs and possibly making it to the...stumbling as I'm trying the word...Finals.

Feels good, doesn't it?

Felt good until you said... "Stumbling".   

I love watching these media "experts" eat their words, humble up and try to change their narrative. 

We need a thread with all of their predictions before the series start just to be able to go back and see them change up....

It is still a surreal moment to write those six letters and associate our team having a real chance at playing in one. It's never happened in my lifetime so I'll need more practice typing the word...

Ouch. 

Exactly why there is a lottery for teams that try to cheat the system. Lol. 

[AUhawksfan]

I didn't even realize it was the draft lottery until the day after.  Normally I have that day bookmarked on the calendar.  Good problem to have.

Ya it is. First time I watched and enjoyed it. The rest of the years I’m way too nervous.
