Da art of Storytellin: The 2015-16 Official Thread of Your Atlanta Hawks #SET

[#1 pick]

Two observations from the other night.

I watched Walter Taveras with the Bakersfield Jam and I'm encouraged by him. I was watching him on the defensive end, always finds his man to box out and is pretty much ready in the NBA from that standpoint. Of course being 7'3" he's not fluid as an athlete, but I think he'll be ready to provide as the 4th big next season.

I know casual observers are starting to know him now, and not because of his offense but Andre Roberson is the type of guy who could take his game to the next level in Atlanta. He's rangy, can defend, rebound, and most importantly KNOWS HIS GAME. He provides little on offense, but under the tutelage of our player development staff I think he can improve. Thoughts?

OKC really likes Roberson. They see him as the new Thabo. He's also on the rookie contract. That's probably not happening.

Edy is a couple of years away but once he is there, he will be good.

Yeah, he's the Thabo clone with even less O. Just looks like the kinda guy who could thrive and develop here. Who knows what that team looks like in a couple years though.


Roberson for Korver/pick?

DO IT BUD!

Just heard (again ) we are #1 in defense efficiency over last 45 days...

Not a chance we do that. Roberson would be liked to be added but not at the expense of Kyle

Funny story bout that. My brother and his homie went last year. The Hawks were featuring couples who met thru Tinder at the game and whatnot. These fools told them they were a gay couple and met on there. Got their seats upgraded and everything.

Hawks: Come on guys let us feature yall on social media
Them:

Hang with white boys brehs

Breh right now we're playing MIA in the first round without home court advantage. Are you really that confident we'd beat them 4 outta 7 times? What have we done this season to prove we're better than them?

And BOS is no beast but do you trust this team to win 4 outta 7 times without home court? It may not look like it but the East is better this yr than it was last yr and we got worse, BOS is a prime example of that.

BOS would be our best matchup but if they have HC on us, I don't see us winning that series, even with HC I think it's gonna be difficult
