Hawks are gonna shock yall

[atljonesbro]

Why is Jeff Teague next to Rose?

[GOBB]

They'll be a 50 win, 2nd round exit at best, which would put them on par with all the other great Atlanta teams between 1996-2012.

Have fun with Lou Williams and Devin Harris shooting 40% from the field too.

50 wins from Atlanta and 2nd rd appearance???

And Lou Williams FG% is irrelevant. He's instant offense off the bench. He does that job as well as other 6th man candidates.

Better get used to seeing Bynum from that angle. Injury prone a$$ nugga

[Reverend Hoops]

I'll be shocked if they win more than 30 games

They won 40 out of 66 last year without Al Horford.

You know what, you're absolutely right.

[FreezingTsmoove]

They have 2 legit bigs (who play on both sides), an up and coming PG, and a legit closer in Lou. I see big things for this team

Not many weaknesses on this team. With JJ being in BK now it will free up some more ball for Smoove and others

Also with Kyle and that shooter out of college expect great things behind the arc

Post ups, 3 point shooting, Quick PG, TOUGH DEFENSE. The Hawks have it all this year but many people don't realize it

[No Evans!]

I'll be shocked if they win more than 30 games

That might be 10 more than the Suns

Tough defense from who? Who are the perimeter defenders again? Come on. Who is the playmaker, facilitator on the team?

You mad tho. Its ok, most teams out East fear Bynum. You can only hope he is injured if your team plays the Sixers.

The only thing the fear is that nappy a$$ afro. Sh1t lookin like the top part of a piece of broccoli. Don't want no god damn roaches comin out that sh1t and fu*kin up the game.

The hawks will surprise a lot of people this year. If they can run at every opportunity and buy into some solid team D with Smoove and Horford in the paint. They have the shooters and Teague is an X factor, he could just continue his slowish progression, or with JJ gone he could explode in a role as the primary ball handler. I think they'll easily win more than they lose.

[WeGetRing2012]

Josh Smith won't be on the team next year though. Maybe even gets traded this year...

[Heavincent]

I bet we're gonna get plenty of "WHY ISN'T ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THE HAWKS?" threads after they win a few games in the regular season. Nobody talks about them because they're not gonna do anything significant in the playoffs and they're not really a young, up and coming squad either. They're stuck in the middle, just like they have been for years.
