Popular Post NJHAWK Posted May 4, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Like I said and we all know 3 minutes left in game 6 and who knows. How would this series have gone if we had home court, Al Horford and the Pacers didnt have Paul George because those are the odds we faced and almost pulled this off. Lets see what Ferry can do in the offseason but our boys gave us a great series until this last game and the refs punched us in the gut to soften us up for the Pacers tonite. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post benhillboy Posted May 4, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Me too. What they lacked in talent, they made up for in smarts and hard work for each other. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLHawks3 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Disappointing loss for sure, but the Hawks showed that they can take one of the best teams in the NBA to 7 games, while dealing with a major injury to Al Horford. It's up to Ferry now, draft a stud in the draft, and hopefully find free agents willing to come play for our system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted May 4, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I'm excited for next season. We have a lot to look forward to next year: The emergence of Jeff Teague A healthy Horford DMC is a solid player for the team KK will always be KK Mike Scott makes us deep Our coaching staff is set for YEARS to come Some questions: Is Sap a part of the future? - What's more important, Horf at 4 or staying athletic and improving the SF spot. Could Sap play 3? Will we look to get bigger? - I'm tired of seeing 6'8" Sap and Brand fight 6'10"+ for rebounds. I'm tired of "stretch 5" and undersized SG's. Will we find consistent scoring? - Indy had George in this series. That was the difference; a guy that can get you a bucket when it matters, but are we destination that could attract a big time scorer and do we have the cap space? Are we primed for a SnT deal over the summer? Sap + Lou for Player X? Where do we look to fix in the draft? - I'm hoping for a big, athletic wing. Saric, Young, Hood, and Stauskas are good looking prospects. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekiEcko Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Who would think that the Hawks at the beginning of the season was one game away from defeating a #1 seed? With the injury bug that hit us and that awful February and March. i am proud of this team and the future is bright (besides of those haters). We seriously need a Center and SG/SF and that is it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member cam1218 Posted May 4, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Just going on the thread title..me too. We haven't really been able to enjoy the playoffs since the series we beat Orlando. Better days are ahead for this bunch. We are in good hands. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameTime Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Coaching staff deserve a lot of the props. We simply didn't have the shooters (a lot of mediocre shooters other than Korver) or talent to be great this playoffs. A rotation of Antić, Scott, Lou, DMC, Korver, Teague, Sap is something to sneeze at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonegully Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I am proud of the guys. Lets be real, we weren't winning anything this year. Im proud that the guys got the city hyped, played tough and bowed out of the playoffs with respect. There were no terrible losses, there was some heartbreakers but its games i can live with because he had a chance to win each and everyone. We were supposed to tank, EVEN with Horford. After he went down the boys fought at the end to get in the playoffs. I was looking at the lottery but I'm glad now we didn't and fought bravely. What do we need. 1. Healthy Horford. Horf is so important at the C position because he can also shoot the three and stretch the defense. 2. We need a scoring wing. A player who can create and finish at the rim. Thats what i think we lacked in game 6 with 3 minutes left 3. Either Lou or Mack has to go. IMO they are the same player. They both suck at the pick and roll, both can't finish at the rim and both of them can't attack and create their own shot. What do we have. 1. A outstanding coach, there is no denying that. If a FA can't see that then they are crazy. A coach that draws up real plays, plays to the strength of the player and makes adjustments 2. A great GM, CEO, and owner who now cares that we build something special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekiEcko Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 But for a scoring wing, it is very limited bunch and Stevenson i do not want him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Atlantaholic Posted May 5, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 If Antić could have made just a couple of shots here and there we would have won that series. We had the #1 seed on the ropes playing 4/5 on offense and were a couple of minutes away from a stunning upset. Feel terribly disappointed because I really felt we had it, but I can't blame this undermanned team for not finding the firepower to put it away at the end. If we had Horford this series would have been ours by game 5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member turnermx Posted May 5, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 tell mack to pack his bags Yep i feel Schredder is going to be right on Macks heels for the backup PG position. Unlike others here i feel Dennis can get a lot better and he will make a significant jump this offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
