MVP23 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I remember last year around this time, and even the year before when I couldn't wait to get home from school, go outside for a while, take a shower, and watch the Hawks...now, its ehhh. ..I'm just not that excited to watch the Hawks anymore, unless its a ESPN/TNT game, or the Lakers/Cavs we're playing...I'm already looking towards the playoffs. I wonder how Celtic, Laker, Cav, and Spur fans feel..I guess when your team sucks, or isn't that great, you value the regular season, but when you're ELITE,..you just can't wait fo playoff time.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkWeisErrr Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 No. I wish they were playing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFAN4LF Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) I actually wasn't that excited last year as I am this year. If we weren't in Atlanta playing and playing on the road, I would hate to watch because every road game for us was horrible to watch. Also, it wasn't exciting to watch Josh Smith shoot jumper after jumper. This year, we've done so much better. Our players have matured, we are starting to win games on the road, and there isn't a game in the schedule that you can call a "sure loss". Every game we have this year, you can say the Hawks have a chance of winning or you can say Hawks are sure to win. Plus, Jamal Crawford adds a little bit more excitement than Flip. ;) Edited January 23, 2010 by TeamDime10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP23 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 hmmm maybe its more exciting when my team is the underdog. Last year, when the Carolina Panthers (2010-11 SB champs btw) went 12-4, it wasn't nearly as exciting as this year, when we were fighting to stay alive, or even the 03 season, when we came out of nowhere. Ironically, I stared liking this team because we sucked so bad..I'm weird.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Atlantaholic Posted January 23, 2010 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 i really disagree. The better your team is the funner it is to watch them play. It was hard for me to get excited with the Falcons this year, especially after having such high hopes from the year before. After week 6 or 7 when it was clear this just wasn't our year, it actually became a chore at times to keep up with the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I'm still excited to see them play, but its no where near last year, when I would literally plan my day around watching the Hawks.

Deeman Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I love watching the Hawks play, very exciting brand of basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUhawksfan Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 If the division stays like this I think it will be exciting to see how it plays out the rest of the season. I think the hawks seed will go a long way in determining how far we can go in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a few of the losses were great games. I want to watch the road games more than the home games this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
