From #Set to Shyt: Welcome to Tankonia [2017-18 Atlanta Hawks Season Thread]

[O.iatlhawksfan]

There is a right and wrong way. The right way is when when ur losing but ur young guys are keeping it close. The wrong way is when the whole team is trash, then yu have to start questing ur coach and ur young players too.

Breh the whole team is trash, the fukk

How many players on this team do you really see a future with on this team? Collins, Prince & maybe Dennis? This is a team with just "guys" & backups. There's a lot of questions with the young players on this team as well

I mean last year it was those same guys and milsap who is just a guy this year

Can we be patient and let these picks and free agents come.

If we reupped sap and Dwight we'd have 8 more mins and be miserable

Breh you are always so Damn negative


Had we kept horford and millsap you would be complaining about why the front office cant add the missing piece.

Now we make big changes to shake things up and reset and you upset we not sneaking into the playoffs as an 8th seed. U are content being a treadmill team because you like to "watch your team win" meaningless regular season games.

Do me a favor start watching bagley, ayton, and Doncic play. You need a source of optimism and to understand that every win from here on out pushes us further away from attaining one of them.

Lol
I tried to tell him we already knew what te season would be like. Just enjoy watching the progress of the players.

TP has improved tremendously since last year and could be a top SF one day. Collins is liable to dunk on someone every night.

Atlanta hasn’t had a superstar since Nique, and if we have to struggle for a couple years to get one then I’m cool.

For the most part, they aren’t getting blowed out every game. With this mini Spurs system, it keeps us in almost every game we play in and the games are always close. The system is in place, we just need to horses now.

Exactly, we not getting blown out by 20 every game. These young guys showing flashes.

Prince had 24, 7, and 6 the other night. We might fukk around and have 2 players in the rookie sophmore game this year

I read dedmon has a higher winshare than millsap this season. Him along with illyasova and bellineli are some good trade assets. We are tanking the right way.

Breh I barely post in this thread and i am being patient with the process

I hate to lose and I hate watching losing basketball. So does that mean I can't express my opinion on the young guys on this team now? This team lacks talent, I'm not even talking about the win/loss record. I hope we get some great talent in the draft but there aren't many great potential pieces currently on the roster right now

What are you talking about? I literally just said I understand what the Hawks FO is doing, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I like to win and I want a Hawks team to compete for a title and I understand that they had to go a different direction to make that happen b/c you need star players. That said this team is garbage and the lack of current talent isn't reassuring considering what we're trying to do in a rebuild

at me being negative, I go out of my way not to comment on what I see on a nightly basis from this group but am I going to be jumping for joy because we lost (again), No I'm not. I'm just gonna hope it works out, but I'm not gonna not express my opinion on what I'm seeing out there

If u was really watching the games, idk how u cant be impressed with the way they are competing. This team has no business playing cleveland and San Antonio down to the wire but they are.

This squad is way more entertaining to watch than last years team.

Luka hit'em with a mean two-piece

I’m starting to come around to him. I just don’t want him to turn to Ben all hype like Rubio was and a non contributor to the team.

I love this squad. I love that they are battleling. I look for the big picture. I want superstars. What we had last year was the end of the road. I am good with our direction.

I told ya', the Euro Pistol Pete

He's Pistol Pete more than anyone else. For good and bad.

His pick n roll ability could be ginobili like. His passing is going to free up Dennis to do what he does best and get to the rim.

So now I'm not watching games? Competing in the NBA isn't something I'm gonna celebrate, win lose or draw.

We'll just have to agree to disagree that this team is more entertaining to watch than last years team...I don't see that at all

I agree that a change was needed and that to compete an elite level we needed to tank. I'm on record saying that. It's not pretty basketball to watch though. Collins will be a beast, Prince's game is coming around, I like what Dennis has done but I'm not sure if he's the long term PG based on how often he and Bud bump heads. Long term there's not a lot here based on what I've seen.
