John Collins has a message to Atlanta fans

[AUhawksfan]

"Senior Chief Executive Vibes Officer" checks out.

I'm feeling the vibes from Mr. Collins!  Let's see those vibes on the court tonight!

Y'all keep your dirty minds out of the above comment, please.

[AHF]

That was a fantastic read.  Nicely done JC!  Definitely doubles as a good pitch for why it is so important to bring him back next  year.

• Was self-deprecating with the Mom comments
• Pumped his teammates
• Hit on the way this team was ignored and disrespected but not in a whining or annoying way
• Spoke to the desire for this team to work together to lift themselves beyond anyone's expectations

Smart, mature and with a bit of flair.  Just really well done.

That was just awesome

Let's F****** Go!!!!!!

We beat this Milwaukee team before with no Trae in the lineup.

It's been overdue for the "Others" to have one of "those" nights.

Tonight, we punch back. And we do it in game 7 style where we lift Trae on our shoulders and tell him, "We got you bro"

Let's do this.

Sidenote, he is called the Heart and Soul of this team for a reason.

We have to keep JC. This guy is more than his numbers. Look at the effect he has on his team and the people around him. He inspires people and brings out their best qualities. I don't want to turn this into a keep JC thread but damn after reading that how can anyone not want to keep him long term?

We have a number of young introverted/quiet guys in Hunter, Cam, OO. You also need that big mouth, the talker, the motivator, in JC.

I think he has a future in journalism or sports casting. Very well written piece there. JC!

 

 

 

 

...and it's confirmed that JC and the Hawks be peeping at the Squawk.

Jason Terry was a secret poster on here back in the day. A lot of former and current Hawks are lurking here.

Worth the read. Love this guy and this team. I still believe.

How could anyone not love this guy after reading that?! 

You'd have to have one cold, dead heart to not appreciate Bap.

[HawkItus]

These are like the anti-Joe, Josh, and Horf's    Trae, Collins, and Capela(Say it with your chest!))

Don't call them out and make them leave! I'm still holding out hope that one will come out and have a QnA with the board one day.

You know I can't tell you that or the other current posters that are ex Hawks or current ones. I don't know all of them but I do know a few. Don't worry, I never betray PMs or personal confidences.

[Wretch]

This is why I did a 180 on Collins.  I never questioned his worth from a productivity standpoint.  It was all about flipping an asset and selling high.  When Nate took over though, the team's chemistry blossomed...and it was apparent that JC was the heart and soul of it.  I don't want to see this man in any other uniform.  If I'm being honest, I don't want to change this team at all.  I want to see THESE guys do it.

...and that read had me all up in my feels.
