You actually believe that Hawks are contenders :roll: :roll: :roll:

The way they'd been playing and the talent they have you're laughing at that?

And even if I didn't think they could contend, they're still a good team and good teams have bad games.

What talent? :lol These nobodies won't stay hot the whole year.

Negged.

Lol at Horford, Korver, Jeff Teague and Millsap not being talented.

Do you even basketball? This isn't the ****ing Bucks for ****s sake.

Worst 4 All Star Selection of ALL TIME.
Except for Millsap, only one that deserves it

That's not enough talent to contend. 2nd round exit, ECF at best. You ISH guys are always too stuck in the moment!I bet you will be the first one to call them shit when they struggle in the playoffs. It's Cavaliers situation all over again. Everyone wrote them off after 30 games. :facepalm

BREAKING: The Hawks aren't good enough to win the East.

In other news, water is wet...

All selections don't mean anything, each year guys like Deng makes it. :facepalm

And you're writing the Hawks off after 1 game. Holy hypocrite.

[Hotlantadude81]

And you're writing the Hawks off after 1 game. Holy hypocrite.

Boston shamed them in the 2nd half right before the all star break... New Orleans destroyed them shortly before that also.

The Hawks peaked.

[lilteapot]

Boston shamed them in the 2nd half right before the all star break... New Orleans destroyed them shortly before that also.

The Hawks peaked.
Boston is a scrappy team that has beaten a few of the top teams in the league.

Pelicans have also beaten impressive teams this season too, however inconsistent they may be.

[navy]

The Hawks did peak. Had the greatest month of all time, not sustainable.

But dont overreact to a 30 point blowout

[Hotlantadude81]

Boston is a scrappy team that has beaten a few of the top teams in the league.

The bottomline is that tonight wasn't a one game thing. This team has been slipping for about 3 weeks.

[CP343]

When the Hawks finally do lose, they lose in style.

[DaSeba5]

Wow it's just 1 game lol. You have to win 4 games in a series. I remember the 2013 Finals having blowouts for both sides lol.

[Hotlantadude81]

The Hawks did peak. Had the greatest month of all time, not sustainable.

But dont overreact to a 30 point blowout

They got destroyed by New Orleans 2 weeks ago and Boston owned them in the second half before the all star break.

This team might be close to being Indiana part II.

[lilteapot]

The bottomline is that tonight wasn't a one game thing. This team has been slipping for about 3 weeks.
:roll: They JUST got off a 19 game winning streak

[Hotlantadude81]

:roll: They JUST got off a 19 game winning streak

They played over their heads.

[dubeta]

How do you lose by 30 with 4 all stars?

[GreggPopazit]

I blame the extended break.

[lilteapot]

They played over their heads.
Geez, Hawks really do have the worst home fan base in the league.

[CP343]

They played over their heads.

As true as that is, they are still obviously a very very good team, and thus this loss is surprising.

[nba_55]

:roll: They JUST got off a 19 game winning streak

Pacers also had huge winning streaks.

[nba_55]

As true as that is, they are still obviously a very very good team, and thus this loss is surprising.

at this point, everyone was calling pacers very very good also.

[lilteapot]

Pacers also had huge winning streaks.

This is hardly comparable to the Indiana collapse last year. That was much worse.

[Hotlantadude81]

How do you lose by 30 with 4 all stars?

Because they're not real all stars. The east basically fielded a an allstar replacement team last week. None of them would make the team out west. Paul Millsap was just another PF when he was with Utah.

[nba_55]

This is hardly comparable to the Indiana collapse last year. That was much worse.

Pacers made the ECF, Hawks could be out 2nd round if they meet Cavs or even Bulls.

[CP343]

at this point, everyone was calling pacers very very good also.

Pacers had a collapse and it is still very surprising that they collapsed so badly.

[Legends66NBA7]

The Pacers last year vs the Hawks this year makes no sense.

Why are they being compared ? Because their 1st seeds ?

[Sarcastic]

Damn Korver shot 2 for 11 from 3 point range. That's gotta be his worst shooting game ever or something.

[DaSeba5]

How are they similar at all? The Pacers were the #1 seed, but they were still looking at the Heat as the team to beat, and they lost. The East is more open this year. Last year pretty much everyone had Indy and Miami in the ECF except when Indy struggled to get by Atlanta and Washington. Plus Atlanta has a better offense.

[Hotlantadude81]

Damn Korver shot 2 for 11 from 3 point range. That's gotta be his worst shooting game ever or something.

Paul "Shovel nose" Millsap played pretty bad also.

[sportjames23]

lol, I really hope you are a black guy.

Why? I make in fun of all kinds of people.

[atljonesbro]

They played over their heads.
Obviously, they just had the greatest month in the history of basketball.. They're in a rough path. If this extends 10-15 more games I'll be concerned, but right now, they just came off the GOAT month so I'm not just gonna erase that.

[smoovegittar]

It's over. Where do I send the flowers?

[CP343]

Why? I make in fun of all kinds of people.

Because you are making fun of a black guy's nose, presumably because it is wide and flat, or something along those lines.

[Milbuck]

Wait....so we're really gonna act like the Hawks didn't go on a 19 game winning streak the last time they got blown out by ~30 at The Salt Factory?

To the salt factory. But salt kills flowers. So prepare for them to die like the Hawks fanbase will in the coming weeks.

[Hotlantadude81]

Black people are off limits?

White guys get made in fun of all the time for being pale, not athletic and poor dancers and everything else.

Do you watch wrestling? I make in fun of Triple H's nose all the time.

Black people have swag... So, they can handle it.

Not sure if a lot of people know this but the hawks struggled with the sixers AT HOME during that 19 game winning streak.

I just got a feeling the Hawks may turn out to be a "Perfume over Poop" type of team

[T_L_P]

Team that peaked too early.

Lucky for them they are playing in the East...so they get a 1st round bye (unless you're the ultimate pretender and you can't beat a 40 win team). :oldlol:

[smoovegittar]

No Bargna-na-na-ni, no rings. Right, Coach Bud?

[BuffaloBill]

Wait....so we're really gonna act like the Hawks didn't go on a 19 game winning streak the last time they got blown out by ~30 at The Salt Factory?





Getting blown out by 30 multiple times in a season is a good sign

[Hotlantadude81]

Whatever. Let's just say that you are a white person, I wish you luck when calling a black person "shovel nose" in person.

Because we know that all blacks are tough guys, right?

I'm so tired of hearing about how big bad and macho da black man is.

It's all image.

[dude77]

lol, I really hope you are a black guy.

^ has a 'shovel nose' :lol

[Rose]

3-4 over the last 7.


Crashing back down to Earth.:oldlol:

[smoovegittar]

I guess they're not the second coming of the Spurs.

[Rose]

I guess they're not the second coming of the Spurs.
Spurs are 4-4 over their last 8.

Maybe they are.:eek:

we'll find out next game!

[blablabla]

They couldn't buy a bucket in the 3rd last night, it happens

[Hotlantadude81]

3-4 over the last 7.


Crashing back down to Earth.:oldlol:

They bottomed out.

Their game had been slipping in every area with the exception of the shooting. But they couldn't even shoot respectable last night.

That's probably the worst game they will play for a long time, but another 10+ game winning streak is not coming. They will be lucky to have another 5 game winning streak this year because they have a tough second half.

[ArbitraryWater]

Getting blown out by 30 multiple times in a season is a good sign

:roll:

[kwajo]

How is the 1st place team losing to the 2nd place team a shocker to anyone? Games between top teams are supposed to be able to swing either way, that's the way the league has always worked.

[Eric Cartman]

Need Bargnani.

[Hotlantadude81]

How is the 1st place team losing to the 2nd place team a shocker to anyone? Games between top teams are supposed to be able to swing either way, that's the way the league has always worked.

Neither team is really that great. The Hawks and their 4 phony all stars and Toronto has a good back court surrounded by a bunch of role players. Nothing special.

Besides, the Hawks lost by 30 and they lost the season series 3-1. They deserve no respect.

[Richesly]

Wow, how dumb are you? They rested 3 starters that night and started Mike Muscala who never plays.

[sportsfan76]

Oh ok well I didn't know that because I thought it was odd that a number 1 seed was struggling at HOME with a sh*tty team like the sixers
