No Beef, Serious Query: Why Are ATL Hawks Fans Acting Like They're A Title Contender?

[Jerz-2]

I mean, these dudes are on some AGGRESSIVE shyt-talking campaigns lately....moreso than I can ever seem to recall, either on here or on the other site.

But the team's roster isn't really that extraordinary (trust me, LouWill is my boy and can ball, but he's not the type of guy to solely change a team's fortunes).

Am I missing something?

And again I'm asking legitimately, this isn't facetiousness....

We do have some aggressive shyt talkers from our fanbase, but were not acting like we're a title contender. Team DOES have a chance to be a top 4 seed & possibly make a decent playoff run

One of them nikkas said they couldn't wait to face the Heat in the playoffs.

I don't like this roster at all but I like Horford and hope Harris starts and we play him like PnR PG. Otherwise meh.

No one ever said we were title contenders. We just said that we're better than the Knicks, Bulls, Nets, Pacers, Wizards, Cavs, Celtics, 76ers, Bucks, etc.

I jusy saw that they're starting harris and teague together in the back court

Knicks, Bulls, Nets, Pacers, Celtics, and Sixers fans...your rebuttal?

my mvp down

we lost asik for nothing

and the front office broke they neck to sign kirk hinrich

i think i can speak for most bulls fans when i say we dont have any bullets to shoot with at this point lol

bulls fan: "bulls will still be a top 4 seed in the playoffs"

everyone else: "yall high acquisition for this past off season is kirk hinrich"

bulls fans:

ill be back to my shyt talking ways next season. this season i just got to fall back and be a fan. our front office failed us miserably.

Good for them.

But what you're saying is that you want me to believe ESPN The Mag and not my own eyes. You want me to believe that a Devin Harris and Jeff Teague backcourt is elite because ESPN said so.

ESPN The Mag also predicted that Greg Odom would win several titles.

So yeah....I don't put much stock in what they say, and I damn sure don't see the Hawks being better than the Celtics.
