They kept talking about CHI being a measuring stick for them, and some other of the comments seemed like maybe they are not necessarily killing themselves every night on purpose, and I know that is taboo to insinuate but I read lots of the quotes from that game, I wished I could remember them all but I remember one from I think Teague that was kinda like ok well - maybe they are micro managing the season trying to be healthy as possible and plenty rested for the post season.  When you watch the bulls game its like what is this, they look twice as fast and the effort just screams at you.  As opposed to shuffling around with some other games your like what are they doing, just looks way different than last year. 

Lord if Korver could just start hitting these shots, everything will open up and well coast.

Why is Korver in the NBA - hes just not athletic enough anymore, I mean you cant even pass him the ball because itll just get knocked away hes like an old busted TE in the NFL with lienbackers hugging his hip.  

Teams def done, they just dont have the talent, again like all teams, the cliche is real - it doesnt exist for no reason, we need real players, not a bunch of role players jacking each other off.  Real players can play team basketball too ppl.  J smoove has the iq of a woodland creature so it was hopeless to get him in this type of system.  Whoevers fault it is for not getting players here, its probably us, the fans.  PPl need to support the team plenty of ATL locals to do that, I grew up going to them, no problem in the omni.  Whos going to come here ? are we ever going to draft high enough - we livve in a physical world, if we need to tank to get top spot in the draft fine, its been done before.  Stop being so proud.  Get real players. win some games. 

and why is this forum dead - where is the hawks msg board ? 

Hawks just dont have the athleticism of many NBA teams, always relying on our wits - cant work forever look at Wolves zooming around, our guys just lumber we got teague, Schröder and baze, everyone else is just not that athletic. Sap getting postered by Wiggins. 

Maybe Korver is in worse shape than we thought

Edy still a prospect although a quickly rising one - they had to sign him to get him to play in summer league or lose him to a euro team. But he will be in training camp this year. 

I mean no team in the east can be upset by getting beat by this team in the playoffs really - they have such a physical advantage with all of this and starters coming off the bench - We have maybe half the talent they do for example most teams in the east have a third. 

They drafted Thompson he signed a 4 or 5 year rookie contract, he's theirs.

Thanks for answering these questions for me - im just getting back into following all of this. !

but they didnt have bird rights on THomspson i didnt think.   I know they did on the trade last year and Love.  This is bullshit

When did they have bird rights on these guys, they just got them 1 year ago. 

Would be nice if Scott takes this opportunity to carve out a place for himself on the team regardless of what happened between them, Him and Bud - maybe they have a plan, its a reach but not much else going on
