That's very optimistic.  I'm going with the realistic approach and saying we finish 13-13 with one cancellation.

7-3

4-6

4-6

4-6

and remember that 7-3 start was thanks to the easiest opening 5 games anyone has ever played in the history of the NBA...and we still only went 4-1 in those games.

 

Remember who said back then that we needed to go 5-0 to have any shot of being good this year?  That's right, this guy!

It's that time of the year folks. After seeing our Hawks flounder and be inconsistent all year, the schedule has finally opened up for us to make the big run we've all been waiting for.

17 of the last 25 games are at HOME!  That's right!  Good ol Phili . . . err . . . State Farm Arena!

Despite the Hawks being 13 - 11 at home so far this year, now is the time that the run happens.  And the run ALWAYS happens after the All-Star break.

• Whether it be a team that should tank, but they win 6 of their final 11 games ( led by Bobby Sura )
• Or a team that should tank, but Woody wants his young team to taste the playoffs, so they win 11 out of 15 from Mid March - Mid April to face Boston as an 8th seed
• Or its that same team 2 years later, that go on a magical run in March by seeing buzzer beater winners by J-Craw, JJ, and even a tip slam buzzer beater by Smoove
• Or it's a 60 win team that actually "cooled off", but still won 17 of their final 27 games.
• Or it's the run the Hawks have made the past 2 seasons, going on big runs ( 27 - 11 in 2021 . . . 24 - 12 in 2022 ) that got them into the playoffs/play-in.

This season, the Hawks are poised to do what those other teams have done.  Finish strong and get into the playoffs.

So let's break it down in the next post.

I say 17 and 10.

23-4 to finish.

We are gonna get “on one” as the kids say and ride it to the postseason. We have a soft schedule and this is when we need to feast AND WE WILL!!!

LETSSSS GO HAWKSSSSSS!!!

14-13? Have you seen our schedule? If we go 14-13 I’ll change my name to kg’s cul de sac hooker!  No way, by the way I think it’s time for your AVATAR CHANGE!!!! @JayBirdHawk you beat me, the deadline is over, Capela is here and he is the starter and looked fantastic last night and I’m happy!

So, who gets a haircut first? Me or Mac?

Ok great! So @kg01 loves looking at Ja right?  Mac might be flashy for a mont. I can tell you if this was kg a Ja avatar would be sweet, with Benny it would be a Warrior or Heat theme, so on and so forth.

Lil' Potato, you're also the guy who had us pegged for 2nd in the conference pre season so you might not be the best judge on stuff like this
