There it is. That train is never late.

I love him a maestro, making great passes and picking his spots. But doing his Kobe/AI impression, taking 30 shots, I'm not a fan of that.

They stunk pretty much all year. This starting lineup (with the exception of Murray) has been together for years. It's more or less diminishing returns and has been the last 2 years.

Pretty extreme notion even for you

[hawkman]

This team has absolutely no excuse being anywhere near 41-41 next season.

[AHF]

Considering they won 57 and we could barely win 2 in a row, this isn’t a shocking outcome for the series.  Hawks showed some grit.  Plenty more work to be done.  Important roster decisions this offseason and lots of scheme work before next season starts.  Good experience for our team.

This sucks. Oh well. We got some potential, just gotta fit better

Problem is, that was the story 2 years ago.

19 minutes for Bogi is unacceptable. completely unacceptable. He's +10 for a reason Quin. Come on. 

Straight stupid lol. Bogie got punished for playing well and being the most efficient Hawk

[Peoriabird]

Trae will have to change his ways...This hero ball sh-t has to stop in the 4th.  Quinn has to convince him it is losing basketball

[hylndr11]

Jalen coming home , they recruiting him.now 

[GameTime]

Not sure Murray is worth another big contract. Quin has work to do this offseason.

[RandomFan]

Decent season, all things considered. We got to move on from a not-good coach. Quinn coming 2 months early gets him a head start on deciding who he wants to keep and who needs to go. Better days ahead. 

[JayBirdHawk]

After a roller coaster regular season....stomped Miami in the Play-in...and showed up in the Playoffs - Thanks Hawks!

 

[Marvin24Williams]

Just not a fan of the Trae and Murray back court down the stretch. The floor just isn't spaced enough for them to do what they want to do

That's really hard to understand.

The Hawks being MID all season isnt extreme.. lol

[Sothron]

They have to get a frontcourt player that can get his own shot and make it. It is killing us in the playoffs. Trae is a superstar but he can't do it by himself. DJM had a good series but that front court...it just isn't good enough.

We gotta make some trades but I was impressed with the boys.

Murray needs to go. to get us a legit BIG or something....

Trae isnt going anywhere

Murray just isnt a SG imo..

I think they play better when the other is out...

Thing is elite offensive frontcourt players don't grow on trees.....
