Bawb ... we don't have to win two games to get into the playoffs.  Win the 9/10 game and we are guaranteed at least 8th.

Nope. We have to play the loser of 7/8...

Oh Dre mos def NEEDS to be nimble. If he was I'd guarantee u he'd be a lot more consistent becuz he'd make a lot of these lil close to the rim shots that he usually misses

I'm saying he isn't, he doesn't have that wiggle...just need him.to maximize what he has.

Correct.  My bad.

I think Delon has a chance to be #1 in the league in defensive plays per foul depending on what Tyus Jones does tonight.  A steal with no fouls today has him at 2.00, Jones at 2.09.  

Y’all help me out in sending bad juju Jones’ way so he can have 3 fouls and no steals.  I know Delon follows the stat and wants it bad.  He allowed a couple easy drives without contesting today lol.

Well, we got to take care of Charlotte at Home.   It won't be an easy one...

21 of 38 from three damn.  How do we play the Rockets more often?

They don't defend for shit

So out of 15 Eastern conference teams, we ended up ninth. Not very impressive.

The East is better though.  If you think about it, we had a 10 game losing streak at home and still went 27-14.  I anticipate the Hawks being a very good team next year because they should be fantastic at home.  

Just got to fix the defense which has been sured up down the stretch.

Nathaniel is pissing me off talkin about next season already... Get this mf outta here!

 

[Lurker]

I can remember years where the 8 seed had 38 wins in the East. 

This was a strong conference this year. 

I did expect more though. Maybe it would've happened if **** like the COVID stuff didn't occur. Maybe next season (but the Hawks hopefully have more games to focus on) will be the season that finally starts smoother with Trae.

Nate might not make it to next season.
