Gray Mule Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 :angel19: Death. We, as human beings, hate to think of this. The end that we know is out there ahead of every one of us. This death that we all, as Hawk fans, are mournful for, is not the physical death that I mentioned above. Yet, like that death, this one is just as real. What is this crazy old man talking about? Let me explain. The Hawks team defense has passed away. It is no longer exists. When the NBA team with the lowest scoring average in the league makes all their shots but two from inside the three point line in the first quarter, you know. Add to that the fact that they were 1-3 from beyond the three point arch, we knew. Team chemestry is on life support. While it isn't dead yet, we question it's survival. This was the driver of the vehicle named the Atlanta Hawks. It, no doubt, is the culpit in the death of team defense. When natural death occurs in some families, they draw close together and mourn, supporting each other in time of sorrow. Other families may fight. They all blame others for everything that has happened and no one will sit down and listen and calm things down. No doubt, you have all witnessed both types. With our beloved Hawks, they apparently have chosen to fight amongst themselves. Who is at fault? More than one person. There is enough fault to go around so that everyone has a part. Team chemestry. That's the glue that holds everything together. When did this happen? Was it sudden? No. It's been happening right before our eyes. We should have saw this coming. But, we buried our heads in the sand and hoped it would just go away. It didn't. Can the patient, the Atlanta Hawks, survive? Some one better find out quickly. If there can be a restoration of team chemestry, perhaps a resurrection of team defense will take place. We have been holding on to 4th place in the east. We are here, not because of anything we've done recently. It all goes back to the fast start out of the gate to open the season. With the recent play, making the playoffs, even last season's eight seed, becomes questionable. Keep doing what we're doing and we're out of the playoffs. While our fruit is withering away on the stalk, all those teams behind us are roaring, full throttle, toward the finish line. :beathorse: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Wise words. But I would suggest that the infighting on the team is a reflection of the same with the owners. The ASG is a sick ownership group and it is hard to have a healthy organizazion when the ownership is malignant. That is the death that needs to happen.

Premium Member Atlantaholic Posted March 7, 2009 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 If we finish the season at 41 and 41 and lose in the first round, I Wonder if Woodson will get fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye242424 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Damn, that's deep. I don't like using our ultimate demise as an anology of the Hawks current season, because I don't feel we have "died" yet. I would think the 13 win season a few years back would be more appropriate. Anyway, let's not give up hope. The fact remains this is one of the better years we've had in a long time, and as I fan, I'm enjoying it. Do I think we could be better? Of course. Does Woody drive me nuts? Yup. But we have a big game tonight and I'm hoping we come out ready to play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
