I’m with Trae, not worried about making the playoffs but the NBA messed with our seeding for sure.

Do you want me to pull up quotes talking about Trae?

You said we don't have leaders.

What? Have you not been following what's going on with the team?

Trae, Cam, Capela Mays are the only NBA players available. The rest are all under COVID protocols.

If you wanna rip on Nate just rip him but at least represent the facts as they currently are.

Our rooks have Covid like everyone else.  Jury still out for me with Nate... he's in a no-one-will-be-happy position with who to give minutes pretty much all season.

Both are in health and safety protocols. Trae, Cam, and Cap were the only guys available. Mays was the only guy available from the CP Skyhawks "big 3".

I didn’t catch that the rooks had COVID…that’s my bad.

I think we get 4-6 seed when it’s all said and done. We would be a very dangerous one as well, nobody wants to see us healthy in the playoffs.

Philly has the 6th seed right now.

They're only 3 games ahead of us.

 

The Hawks going on a streak of 8 out of 10 wins, probably puts them right back at 6th.

Yeah but Spud said 4-6. We're 6.5 out of 4th spot...Gonna take a loooooong streak to get to 4.. And I cant see Milwaukee, Miami, Chicago and Brooklyn going on long losing streaks, but anything can happen I guess.. ..Id be happy with 6 though..I want to avoid the playin if possible... That shit is stupid..They changed the  playoff rules when we started winning, just like they changed the lottery rules when we were tanking..And now theyre doing it with protocols...NBA hates us...

Does anyone care to post our covid timeline to see when we might get guys back?

Last I saw Unless they test out early (2 negative tests withing 24 hours)

1/3 at Portland: Gallinari, Huerter, Williams, Luwawu-Cabarrot, Cooper

1/5 at Sacramento: Okongwu

1/7 at Lakers: Wright, Collins Bogdanovic, Dieng, Ellison

 

I think I'm done watching Hawks basketball for the rest of this year

@terrell I’m open to an avatar bet that we get 4-6. You in? One month avatar change to take place in June or when the playoffs are over.

So you believe we can get 5th or 6th? Ahhh come on  

[Spud2nique]

We should have played Clemons over Barber. Clemons had a DNP but I’m assuming he was available. Both don’t know the playbook but Clemons has some good minutes under his belt.

If you are a championship contending team, the seeding shouldn't be a problem. You have to beat the best regardless.

And that's why I'm not worried about the Hawks at this time.

Just like the Hawks.

Honestly it’s confusing as hell trying to assess how good this team will be at full strength.  Or what that means when guys are injured all the time.

All I know is we can play better.  So far we haven’t looked like a top 4 team at any point.

@JeffS17 For the record I didn’t wear my Cam jersey tonight so it doesn’t effect our win and losses. I’m not putting a Cam jersey on when he has to play alongside MO, d*ck AND HARRY! 

Ya they are, what are you gonna do about it? Tough guy!

lol i didn't either, tonight didn't count for his stats!
