Hawks are 16-4 against the West

[hawkfan]

So far.

[lilteapot]

So what you got a problem

[UK2K]

And....?

They've also been relatively healthy all year long. Probably the only team who can say that.

Sefolosha is hurt.
Mack has been hurt.
Brand has been battling age and injuries.

That Salt factory effect!

[J Shuttlesworth]

Yeah they have been dominant against the West.

Curious, what teams are the 4 losses against?

The Lakers are one of them, the only team to beat both the Warriors and Hawks.

Oh my god. How do they continue on?

Brand? As in Elton Brand? I didn't even know he still played. Here this is how the game is played...

Beverley (starter) missed 16 games.
Jones (starter) missed 41 games.
Howard (starter) missed 27 games.

Your reply should have been a simple 'yes they've been relatively healthy all season'.

Time to create a Lakers championship cruise thread

[UK2K]

And who the fvck is Mack?

Clearly Howard being out is a huge deal since he is a superstar.
Last year the Hawks had tons of injuries and we fell from 3rd place to 8th place.

Its not just Howard.

Westbrook, Durant, Cousins, Griffin, Rose, George, Lebron took a vacation, Derozan, now Butler. The injury bug has missed the Hawks all season

Not to diminish their record against the west, because its outstanding and a sign of a true contender, but we have to keep things in perspective. They've been fortunate to not have anyone of note go down all season.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Just looked into it, they lost to Memphis , Lakers, Spurs, and Pelicans

Cleveland gonna get that W against the Hawks this week and become the other team to beat GSW and ATL

Teague has been injured quite a bit, just played through it. He played through a hamstring injury for pretty much all of december and january. He missed 3 games and Hawks won all 3.

Al Horford has had season ending injuries the last 2 seasons and wasn't 100% in November.

We won't get Thabo back till April and he is our best defensive player hands down.

There was one game where Mack(our 3rd PG/second SG before Bazemore earned more minutes), Schroeder, and Sefolosha all got injured. Mack was out for a month, Schroeder was out the rest of the game(the injurys happened in the first quarter), and Sefolosha hasn't returned yet.

Teague had to literally play the rest of the game because we had no PGs. We had to run Bazemore at the point just so he could rest.

Hawks have had injuries, it's just they have won through them.
