Premium Member shakes Posted February 27, 2023 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 This is it, this is our Super Bowl week, Final 4, Indy 500 and Stanley Cup all rolled into one. Easily the most important week in the history of the franchise. Right now here are the standings... 5. New York (ATL 2.5 games back) 6. Brooklyn (ATL 2.5 gb) 7. Miami (ATL 1 gb 8. ATL Games this week: NY: Boston, Brooklyn, @ Miami, @ Boston Brooklyn: Milwaukee, @ NY, @ Boston, Charlotte Miami: Boston, Brooklyn, NY, ATL ATL: Washington, Portland, @ Miami As you see, we have an easy week while all the teams ahead of us are gonna be Hunger Gaming each other all week + playing the top dogs in the conference. We MUST go 3-0 to save the season. 2-1 with a loss to MIAMI will NOT suffice. This team must make a statement THIS WEEK. Who's with me take the MOST IMPORTANT WEEK OF THE CITY OF ATLANTA'S COLLECTIVE HISTORY PLEDGE? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted February 27, 2023 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 (Maybe I'm just cynical about cynicism round here, but it will not surprise me in the least for there to be calls--lighthearted, but calls nonetheless--to put Prunty back in the lead chair this time next week. ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've understated how important this week is in the history of Atlanta though. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member shakes Posted February 28, 2023 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Terrible night for the Hawks last night. Knicks and Heat both won. Hole getting deeper for ATL as they face the 3 biggest games in the franchise history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ShooterSays Posted February 28, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 It's an understatement to say the next 2 weeks are very important. 5 of the next 6 are division games. This stretch probably decides if we're a play-in team or not. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post swanlee Posted February 28, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 I'm honestly not to worried about the rest of this year, we could go in either direction for the last 20 games, I am pretty excited about the future of the team though. This new Front office is really stepping up and doing some interesting things, also the trade deadline moves and getting Quinn was pretty smart. I'm at the point where I will give Landry and Korver some serious leeway and trust their judgment. I like the interviews they are giving and the moves they are making. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus i don't like our guys having a day off in between in South Beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point you need to sweep a team to prove it. and at some point you need to prioritize winning basketball games over winning South Beach. You can't become great by being coddled and sheltered.

And even the top teams in the league may split those games. Miami is always a tough matchup, so we could easily lose both of those games. But if you lose 2 in Miami, make up for it by winning 2 in DC. As I said in my prediction thread, the Hawks have 2 winnable home games + a decent shot to win 2 of 4 in MIA and DC. That would make the Hawks 4 - 2 in their next 6 games and set us up for the March home games vs playoff level teams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final_quest Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 My ideal scenario is we get a first round series vs NY again. Those games would be prime time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Well, gee whiz! If it was necessary to win the 1st three games under Quin, that didn't last long, did it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
