2nd verse, same as the first

[Admin]

A damn mirror of last night, coming back from down to take a nice 4th quarter lead and we let up and start turning the ball over and it gets away from us.

What a crappy pair of losses against teams we certainly could have beaten.

[sinctybldh]

They are losing to teams with alot less talent. I really think they need to get a real coach.

Not too long ago this board was talking playoffs.

Actually Diesel was talking about it last night.

[gsuteke]

i was talking about it 2 days ago.

it's amazing what 2 losses to the NBA's doormats, us excluded, will do to one's perception.

When I questioned the Hawks performances against New York and Denver I was accused of being a killjoy, trying to take credit away from the Hawks victories.

The reality is that a team that plays poor D and turns it over too much isn't going to win consistently. I was saying that after the Denver victory but nobody was listening.

BK's rebuilding project isn't over. He won't be able to plug the holes in the roster until this summer. That doesn't mean the Hawks can't win games and develop their players, it just means we shouldn't get our expectations too high.

Well after the last two nights, I don't think there's any danger of "fan overconfidence"...LOL

[Diesel]

There are still 50+ more games left on the schedule. No need to give up now. The top 8 teams are not running away in the east.

That's the reality.

Do you think that San Antonio lost to Us and N.O. and said.. OK, let's pack it in, we're not going to make it......

[exodus]

It doesn't matter if there are 100 games left.

weak D + too many turnovers = lottery

Last night they shot 56% from the field, 70% from 3, and lost to a team that was 6-22.

Completely agree.

Why does the team not even try to defend? While I think personel is part of the equation effort is at least 50% of the defensive equation as well, and the Hawks have zero defensive effort. Pathetic.

They are lucky the jump shots were falling or they would have been blown out by the worst team in the NBA.

Excerpted from AJC article:

"The Hawks...didn't shoot a free throw in the final nine minutes...

...The Raptors made 11-of-12 free throws during that final stretch to put the game away..."

In all fairness there were maybe 3-4 delusional people on here who were talking playoffs last week. Most of us are sane

I said 25 wins before the season, I'm sticking to it

[Nicholasp27]

i'm still at 27, as i've always been

[drzachary]

62-20.
