Horford out for season; Hawks out for season

Hawks' Al Horford (torn pectoral) officially out for season after surgery | The Point Forward - SI.com

Most of you may not care but the Atlanta Hawks' season is officially over. Now there is no chance we will make it to the second round of the playoffs - we may even end up a lottery team. Oh well.

Prayers for Al.

I have always liked ATL. Now, do you want them to tank or play?

Seriously, sorry for the

It doesn't matter. They'll tank anyway without Al. That almost sounds kind of like Mafia talk?

Maybe. But with the way the East is right now, they may have no choice but to play in the playoffs.

Yeah, probably. But the Hawks won't win the first round, very, very doubtful. And we might not even get there. We'll see. Big test for the rest of the Hawks, that's for sure.

Well, good luck, however the season turns out for them.

I imagine I'll do what most Atlanta fans do most years. I'll concentrate on UNC BB and wait for the Braves' season to start, hoping for better Falcons' and Hawks' seasons next year. It does get old, though, after 40+ years.

40 years? Jesus. I hear ya. I'll keep waiting for my Pacers to get a title. Been a long time but I'll never leave 'em.

That's very kind of you to say that.

The Hawks have NEVER won a title.
The Falcons have NEVER won a title.
The Braves have one ONE TITLE in my lifetime.

Hockey? Fugget about it. Our hockey teams lost so much that we drove them out of town!

Yep. Atlanta pro sports fans know the deal. "Better luck next year" is our motto down here.

I sure wish we had an owner like George Steinbrenner who would spend all of his money to give us a winning, dominant team like the Yankee franchise. Oh well. It is what it is. Atlanta fans end up rooting for someone else in Superbowls, Finals and the WS. Just another year at the Peach Drop.

I am going t try really hard not to be a dick, but there is no reason to support them. If you truly wanted your ATL teams to get better launching a boycott or at least doing your part and buying a Pats jersey would do your part to show you will not tolerate their incompetence.

All attempts at boycotts have failed. People go to their games to see THE OTHER TEAM play them. What can you do?

Most of us just get into a different sport or college sports. The latter works for me.

It's a shame. You had Ted Turner for a while with the Braves and the Hawks, you'd think that was your bottonless pit of cash right there.

Yeah. We had the "four aces" and Chipper Jones. We won one title. Pitiful.
