Premium Member mrhonline Posted November 27, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 To me, the 6th seed should be the chief goal. If they fall short of that but still make the playoffs, that's fine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Peoriabird Posted November 28, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 1. A lot of dumb line ups from LP i.e. Collins/Gallo front court combos or Rondo/Dunn back court combos 2. Collins still playing more center than he needs too 3. The team will struggle with its offensive Identity early 4. Turn overs will still be a problem especially early 5. Some line ups will be very good defensively while others will not be and Lloyd will favor the worst defensive line ups 6. The Hawks will be a much improved rebounding team 7. The Hawks will not win as many game as we have the potential to win but will win over 50% of their games and make the playoffs 8. John Collins will join Trae Young in the all star game 9. Okungwu might get the Bruno treatment. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrell Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Playoffs aren't going to be as easy as people think imo....We'll be better, but so will a few other teams in the East Unexpectedly......That's just how it goes in Atlanta......smh Edited November 28, 2020 by terrell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted November 28, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 hawks win 43 games. Trae is an allstar. Gallo is a candidate for 6th man of the year. I have nothing on OO because i don't know if he will start the season. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin24Williams Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Playoffs. As long as we get in the season is a win. There's a lot of new pieces on this team, it's going to take a while for them to gel. Core improvement/development is an obvious one as well.

bleachkit Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Remember it's out of 72, so your predicted number of wins need to be adjusted by about 12% down from what you would predict in an 82. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurpilo Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 I think we win 40 games, 5th place on the east. Trae Young replicates last year numbers, make all star team. Collins averages 20/10, is considered for all star team. Bogi, Gallo and Rondo prove to be good additions for the team. Capela becomes top 3 Center on the east. Cam continue to growth in line with last months showing. He will have his ups and downs. Hunter and Huerter fail to meet expectations, playing time decreased and poor growth in comparison with last year. Okongwu show flashes of been good player on games that Gallo misses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Losing more games than we win to open the season. Then it gets better as the players become a team. Expecting to make the playoffs. Hoping for home court, 4th place or better. Covid 19 meds become available and fans come back, full force. Another trade un expected comes up and Hawks do it. Both 2 way players get to play. Injuries rear their ugly head. Youth come thru and Hawks end the season hot, on a winning streak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Schlenk will be the executive of the year. 21. Go Hawks! Some basic observations. 1. 2 of the following Cam, Hunter, Huerter, BB will have to come off the bench and will be getting set up by Rondo. Whoever those 2 are, expect monster numbers as they feast against bench players. 2. Lighter workloads mean less injuries (cross my fingers, throw salt over my left shoulder, spit in my hands and rub). 3. We will still get beat up by teams with bigger front courts. Its a 72 game season so 50 wins is a huge stretch. I'll be happy with 6th in the East and a 1st round upset. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bird_dirt Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 I'm glad @NBASupes is keeping his expectations in check! I am expecting a 7 seed this year. If we somehow make the jump higher, I will be extremely happy, but not expecting it. The core is still very young, and it's gonna take some time for these flavors to marinate. The coaches and players need to gel with the new additions, all while the young guys are still growing physically and learning their way in the league. All this without the benefit of full camp/summer league/preseason to work through the kinks before it gets real. I don't trust CLP to maximize the talent on the roster. He will be just okay. He will do well enough that they should make the playoffs with the talent we have, but not take them as far as they could go. Hopefully Nate helps more. 8 seed will be tolerable, but not ideal. Missing playoffs will be a failure. Next year is when I expect to really see this team making some noise in the playoffs, with an eye on ECF or better the following years as Trae, JC, Cam, & co. mature as players and develop long term chemistry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okungwu might get the Bruno treatment. This seems like the most realistic outcome. Even with all of that I think we will nab one of the low end playoff spots. Pierce has to prove to me he can coach, last year he was dreadful, and I know he didn't have anything to work with but still, it doesn't excuse his boneheaded decisions. Maybe he learns from his mistakes and if he does I think we can be a five-three seed. I agree with Okunguw, he's 19 we have a shortened offseason. Gallo and Bruno will be the primary backups at PF and C and, yes, looking at the roster and projecting minutes it's clear we will see at least 8-10 minutes a game of Collins at center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with O-Squared (patent pending me) is not only is he a rookie, but a rookie with a long layoff and no summer league. My expectations are low year 1. For Bruno, he is the biggest wild card in the world. He could easily be Capela and learning under Capela might be the best move for him of the offseason. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
