I think it'll be gone real quick honestly.   I'm on Hawks twitter but i do have to say that compared to here there are some terrible takes from fans out there.  

What does it mean to be a part of Hawks Twitter?  I'm pretty incompetent on social media (used to have a facebook but deleted it like 7 years ago).  I have a twitter to follow a few people for hawks stuff but that's it.

You follow the local reports and the local super fans and regular fans.

I'm also pretty green w.r.t. social media.  I've never been on Facebook or any of that.  I don't have a twitter account either.  It's kinda weird but I look at is as a badge of honor.  Being one of the few who haven't dove into the cesspool.  

I agree with most that Kirschner typically seems pretty fair.  Gives decent enough coverage.

I do think his personal agendas seep into his coverage, at times, so the criticism of him (and the apparent beef with Trae, beef with CLP previously) are likely due to that.  As such, I think the clap-baks are fair game and aren't just the typical 'oh the big athlete doesn't like to be questioned' stuff.

My big issue with most media members is they try too hard to be the story.  They're not objective which is something required by their supposed profession.  They can't hop under the "journalist" umbrella when it suits them.

It blows my mind we are #1 in 3PT% but 24th in 3PTA.

This stat is unreal to me. More off the ball movement to hoist more 3’s please.

I dunno.  I'm with those that say the % is probably high because of the low volume.  We're not spamming 3's like these other teams.

Our shooting is timely, which should come in handy more so than these teams that're jakin' like crazy.

You probably already follow them but follow the following.

Sarah Spencer

Chris K

Mike Conti

Pat Benson

Brad Rowland

Glen Willis  -@willis_glen

Akelly - @andlankell

Rashad Phillips

Malik Brown

You'll start seeing the fans that always respond to those people and you'll be on Hawks twitter...lol

I just read @Spud2nique posts and join in when he's outraged or happy.

It's kinda like being at the club and you see one of your boys fightin'.  You just jump in like a windmill with fists.  Ask questions later. 

I actually did that once and ran afoul of a college fb team.  Ah, let's just say that was a night.

Feels like to me guys are only shooting 3s when they're in rhythm or comfortable with the look.  Our offense as is should translate well into the playoffs if we can get into the first round

If we don’t I’ll change my name from Spud to.. I dunno but something drastic!

Hey, no assumptions from me -- I will be happy and grateful if we make it, even if I do feel we should make it.  East is tough right now... looks like the only sure teams to miss will be Magic, Pacers, and Pistons.  Everyone else has a shot.

Agreed.

(not)Shocking how shooting within the flow of an offense is better than just jakin' em.

Funny thing is, I bet if you ask the eggsperts, they'd call us one of the teams that just jaks 3s all the time.  Gotta love the eggs.

My issue with Hawks twitter fans is that after every loss it's "We're losing because nate's an idiot and won't play JJ and Rife".  

[marco102]

Solo out for the sesason.  Guarentee TLC and find someone on @JayBirdHawk's list.

I'm here for all the #TraedYoung nonsense if Cooper comes in and actually makes a shot.

Man I wish Jeff Green was available.  He's who we wanted Solo to be.

[mrhonline]

Assuming OO is on track, I'd prefer to give one of Mays or Cooper a guaranteed deal...
