That was the dumbest foul I have ever seen. Good job, Thabo.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Oh yeah

 

[Demonjoe93]

I love the heart Humphries has. We need to bring him back.

 

[purguy12]

Keep Humphries in, please, Bud.

Humphries is a nice role player.

 

[Demonjoe93]

As ugly as that quarter was for us on the offensive in, I'm actually feeling pretty good about being down only four.

 

[Mecca]

SsSSShhhhhhhhhhhh....Wiggy thinks they've been playing teams that are equivalent to the Spurs/Warriors/Thunder.

These Teams are good.

But, not elite.

The only way I'm picking the Cavs in the Finals, is if OKC inexplicably makes it out of the West.

Don't get me wrong, the Cavs will give the Warriors and Spurs a fight if the big 3 is healthy.

Kyrie has been fabulous.

But, they would go home in 6.

Bazemore/Millsap. Those are the only guys I'm bringing back on this team next year if I'm a Hawks fan. This Hawks team needs a new identity. Not seeing the big deal with Schroeder.

I saw it too. Gave me a good chuckle.

I think we should keep Korver, but as a bench player. As for Schroeder, I still have high hopes for him. Fortunately, next season is his contract year, so if he gets the start and he doesn't work out, we can just let him walk after the next season.

I'm not aware of his contract situation. If he's still playing for cheap, you keep him to see how much of a leap he takes in terms of development. Also, I agree on Korver coming off the bench. I just mention Schroeder as everyone mentions him replacing Teague, but I'm not seeing much to warrant that given what Teague gives you. But you also watch the Hawks more than I do, so you probably know more about this than I do.

Teague is a solid point guard, but his contract expires the same year as Schroeder's, and I'm pretty sure he's gonna want to get paid (because almost every decent player seems to think they're a max player nowadays). I think Teague has peaked as a player. The Hawks need something greater than Teague at PG. Right now, Schroeder is making less than two million a year, so to me, he seems like a low risk-high reward player. If he turns out to suck, then, oh, well; we probably weren't going to re-sign Teague the next offseason anyhow. Now, if he does turn out to be a great player, then we've got another young franchise PG.

Agree with Teague. You're not winning a title with him. Also, yeah I don't think a lot of players get the concept of what a max player is. If you're not a top 10 player, you're not a max deal player.

I don't think there is a player on this team that deserves a max contract, which is an unfortunate situation in a league full of decent players that think they're max players just because some other dumb franchises decided to pay decent players max money.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Schroeder having an impact.

 

[Demonjoe93]

How many good defensive players are you idiots going to negate with bad offense?

 

[Demonjoe93]

Bone dry. Need to get it together right now.

 

[Heatles84]

And this is where the Hawks go home.

 

[purguy12]

Atlanta needs to add some shooters. This is ugly with all these misses.
