1. Trae Young is top 2 in MVP Voting.

Wow! Even I can’t go that far and I’d take him top 3 in the league as far as picking players all around. I just think the media won’t allow him to be a top 2 finalist. As sad as that sounds it’s kind of true. I mean we kept proving doubters wrong but the haters kept on hating. It’s kind of become a sick game to them where we have to be bottom feeders because of our overall franchise success and that’s annoying.

His play will warrant an an NBA first team but getting selected for it is another issue.

2. Gallo and 1 wing find a new home by the trading deadline (I can't see us not packaging them for a star at this point).

Just for the record I have said this and gotten laughed at, just saying. The person knows who they are too.

3 team predictions

1. Finish top 5 as a team in ppg overall. (Last year 13th). This team is young, we move.

2. Finish top 5 in the league in FT% AGAIN!  (that’s for you @Gray Mule ) over 80% again

3. Assists as a team, last year 19th, this year top 10 in the league. We move but we also distribute the rock. 
 

3. Individual predictions

1. Trae is assist (popular one)

2. Trae and Collins get all star ️ nods

3. Cam and Hunter will both finish top 10 in most improved and one in the top 5.

Nostraspudus out!

Put yourself on record. They can't be easy like "Trae averages at least 25/9".  These are testing your powers of foresight. 3 things you think will happen. (1st prize is my autographed photo of @Spud2nique and @kg01's karaoke duet of Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend circa 2016 at the Hawksquawk Christmas party).

Here's my offering:

1. Cam Reddish moves into the starting lineup on the regular (If you're the head coach and Reddish is out playing either Bogie or Hunter, do you still have him coming off the bench?)

2. Gallo and 1 wing find a new home by the trading deadline (I can't see us not packaging them for a star at this point).

3. Trae Young or Nate McMillan receives an ejection within the first 20 games due to the new foul hunting focus. (if I'm Nate, I'm protecting my superstar on the first borderline BS call).

On record I agree with your number one.

Number 2 for me is we win the Southeast Division 

Number3 is we get our 1st championship in Atlanta once it's all said and done next season.

[ATLHawks3]

1. Cam and Dre have relatively healthy seasons (play at least 60+ games).

2. Trae gets into an All-NBA team.

3. Take the Nets to 7 in the ECF, ultimately coming short in the final minutes.

From your lips to God’s ears !!!

1) Hawks will have a 12 game win streak going into the Jan. 7th game vs the Lakers . . . which is a ESPN game.

2) Hawks will be up 3 - 2 in the Eastern Conference Finals . . . I don't know if they can close it out, but they will be up 3 - 2, with at least 2 shots to get to the NBA Finals

3) Jalen Johnson will displace either Kevin Huerter or Cam Reddish as being the 1st wing off the bench.

 

 

[Gray Mule]

1- The Hawks will win more than they lose.  That will guarantee them a playoff spot.  If they don't have too many players out with injuries, they will have home court advantage in round one.

2- Atlanta will have a great candidate for rookie of the year but, alas, the honor will be stolen from him.

3- On Christmas day, in front of a great big national audience, there will be a riot in Madison Square Garden when Trae explodes on the home team.

[JayBirdHawk]

1. Hawks win the LOB.

2. Trae is the MVP

3. Clint wins rebounding title

4. Huerter wins 6th man

5. Hunter wins comeback player of the year

6. Bogi leads the league in 3pt percentage 

7. Collins makes his 1st Allstar

8. Our 2 rookies make the rookie/sophisticated game

9. Cam wind defensive player of the year

10. Nate wins coach of the year and Schlenk wins executive of the year.

 

......uuuuh...............

I tried, straight up. Prospective takers tried to condition the bet to death. Straight up, I’ll still make that bet. Injuries, trades, falling out favor, all normal factors which normally happen during a normal season. Straight up: Coop is #2 by ASG

Avatar bet from ASG until playoffs

[hazer]

Most like to bet sure things, I like to keep it interesting by going out on a limb. Otherwise where’s the eggcitement?

I have a hunch this is going to either be an easy stunning win or down-in-flames colossal loss, no in between. Coop will either live up to my expectations and shred everyone on his way to #2, or flop out.
