Official 2022-2023 Atlanta Hawks season thread

I do cuz we can use the extra games for Dan Snyder to work with going into the off-season and getting ready for the next season

Who?

This ain’t college football, an extra 1-2 games of this shyt does nothing to help this team grow long term. I’d rather we end this shyt as quickly as possible and begin the work needed to improve

We won’t do a rebuild but a reset of some sort is necessary

I meant Quinn lol but I don’t agree with that, I think you see a different side of a team in a playoff settings

What have you seen from this team to inspire any real confidence in this playing out any differently? These boys are mid as fukk that won’t magically change come playoff time

Sure it will. They'll be entertained enough to play decent basketball. The regular season is boring, remember?

exactly! I still remember when Trae said that like huh

I’ma start planning the offseason thread. I’m thinking:

fukk Chicago: We the real Monsters of the Midway

I’m trying to think about how to fix this team and what I want doesn’t align with what’s actually going to happen:

I basically want an entire new starting front court
Trade either Trae or DeJounte

shyt feels like a Christmas list I know won’t happen

It’s not fair

It’s not about coming on they’re going to be one and done it’s about Snyder getting 4+ extra games to learn his roster before going into the off-season. Playoffs are different you play the same team so you see how they scout your roster and how they match up against you

Do you really think Quin needs 4 more games to evaluate this train wreck? Even more importantly do you think he wants to? I think he’s coaching out the string and ready to get his coaches in here and find players who fit his system.

I get the feeling that everyone on this team is on the table

Most entertaining thing in this thread in months

In a playoff setting yea he’ll be able to see who he can trust in a 4 game setting where the opposing most likely the #1 team can find weakness and manipulate matchup with the core players he has right now. You’re not going to get that in a regular season setting. Also if they play the that team hard it will be momentum going into next season

“if they play hard” how damning is it that you have to wait until the playoffs to maybe figure out who on this roster is capable/willing to play hard consistently for 48 minutes?

I’m rooting for Miami & the winner of CHI/TOR to end this shyt. We got a lotta shyt to correct that another 4-5 games of “observing” won’t fix

So we weren’t better than next year when this happened?

Bro that was a Hawks team that hadn’t made the playoffs that decade, was young, up and coming and didn’t know what its ceiling was. A 7 game series against the eventual champions was beneficial for a young core of Al Horford, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams & Joe Johnson.

This team is a mediocre mess of veterans who we’ve seen in the playoffs before and who should be better than this. The two situations are completely different on almost every level

That 2008 team had 10th year mike Bibby, 6th year Joe Johnson in his prime and 3rd year J snoove and Josh Childress

This years team best players are 24 and 26, being too good too fast is what hurt them with you, they’re still young in the grand scheme of things. You have Aj Griffin, Jalen Johnson, and Okunwu who are going to be on our plans going forward. Nothing is ever going to be an exact comparison

Breh if you really think the dynamics of this team and the 2008 team are mostly similar, God bless you.

That 2008 team had been rebuilding since the Mutumbo era and had accomplished nothing unlike this team which still has the core of the team that has gone as far as any Hawks team in Atlanta history. I don’t see the parallels but if you see this as an apples to apples comparison and think the extra couple of games of this season have value then by all means enjoy the rest of this season

I obviously see it and remember it very differently
