gsuteke Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 What is the worst record of any team to make the playoffs in a full modern era NBA season.The Pistons are 4 wins out in the loss column and the Cavs are 5 and neither is playing well enough to catch Atlanta.Right now the Hawks sit at 26-34. The way they are playing now I would predict a 4-18 finish. That puts them in the playoffs with 30 wins.That may be historic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member turnermx Posted March 8, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Also a sign the NBA needs reform. Too little talent is concentrated in too few markets. Also not to beat on a dead horse but basketball rules all the "scrubs" need to abide by are below "certain NBA superstars."

Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted March 8, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) I really wish the NBA would de- Conference the playoffs... Just allow the best 16 teams in the playoffs. The Seahawks was the first team in NFL history to make the playoffs with a losing record. They beat the Saints that year when Brooks (Getting my Marshon's mixed up lol) Lynch invented beast mode. I know the NFL doesn't have 7-game series like the NBA, but if the Hawks end up as the 7-8th seed, we could still make some noise. First-round exit, but I could see us taking the Pacers/Heat to six games. Plus, even if we DO make it into the lottery, we likely won't get a pick better than 10 and IMO, the talent pool is strong 11-20. The 15-20th pick goes to playoff teams... Getting in the lottery would be ideal, but making the playoffs isn't a bad thing either.

NBASupes Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I don't think the Knicks this year are worse than the Bucks of last year. The Knicks are more inconsistent but they have Melo. But these Hawks are by the worst team I've seen they could make the playoffs but we won't. Their too f***ing awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Too many teams that clearly don't want to make the playoffs behind the Hawks. They are stuck at the 8 seed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungsta Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Too many teams that clearly don't want to make the playoffs behind the Hawks. They are stuck at the 8 seed.its funny because the management of the 3 teams that are behind us CLE, DET, NY are really desperate to make the playoffs but their teams are just too damn awful.

Maybe 4 and out...maybe we get 1 win at home.With the 15th pick in the NBA Draft the Atlanta Hawks pick "Singia KerBlenzia" ...a 6 foot 6 shooting guard from Croatiasilvblisia.Well Tom what do you think?Well Jason...I think the Hawks may leave Singia in Pogo to refine his game...now for the NY Knicks pick let's talk to Walt "Clyde" Frazier............................to make us feel better...........http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AepyGm9Me6wHmmm...

NBASupes Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I was on the tankwagon at the beginning, too many were trying to convince me and did that Brooklyn was going to be terrible and tank for us. NOPE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNique Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Man, this is the worst possible scenario to be in, and I know I'm not the first to say it. In a horrible free fall and we can't miss the playoffs because Cleveland, Detroit and New York suck even more than us. BRUTAL. I've been thinking all season that if we don't get 6 seed or above, might as well miss and have a chance at the lotto. But this is the worst.

High5 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 There wasn't a right answer going into the season. I was leaning towards the tank, but that's far from an exact science. Creating a winning culture with a bunch of financial flexibility has as much or more merit. So I was alright with Ferry's direction. Unfortunately Horford got hurt early on and those plans were effectively ruined, but everything was already in motion. Bud had the team playing good basketball and we had the added benefit of Brooklyn "tanking" for us. It took awhile for everything to finally balance out. It's just a new way for Hawks fans to be disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'd say the 1994-95 Celtics. They won 35 games in the regular season and actually got 1 win in round 1 vs Orlando. But they had an aging Nique as their best player, followed by Dee Brown, and Dino Radja. That team was pretty bad. But I think this year's 8th seed in the east could actually only have 30-33 wins. Wow, I hope it's not us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
