Tough finish, but a young team that had a losing record going into March put together the best playoff run in Atlanta Hawks history.

As Willie Nelson said, let’s just talk about the good times we’ve had and all the good times to come.















(No, I couldn’t find a gif of it lol)

Go Hawks!

Fun ride from out of nowhere really. Team was dead in the water then Nate took over and turned it around.

With Trae, Huerter, Reddish, Hunter, Bogi and Capela all 28 or younger, the core is there for a contending team for a while to come.

The focus now has to be on getting a true Robin to Trae’s Batman.

Beal, Zion, somebody, but there has to be a #2 option better than Collins.

I basically owe them an apology. I said they would never get this far, would choke and basically was just another "Georgia Sports Team" disappointment


They were not. Great run, just ran out of gas. Not a choke job at all

Can I interest you in a Lonzo Ball sign and trade deal for Mister John Collins?

In all seriousness though, I would like one of Hunter, Huerter, or Reddish lol. Reddish’s trade value was probably in the tank up until like 3-4 days ago lol.

It was a lot of fun but the way they rolled over after Giannis went down has to leave somewhat of a sour taste. There will never be an easier path to the Finals/title.

Phenomenal run by a very young team while it sucks that it had to end because of injury via ref it was still fun as hell. Hopefully this off-season our FO can get Trae a legit 2nd man. Can't win a title with Collins going for 17 and 8 every game.

Nah, dude. Curses don't exist.

Atlanta fans are psychologically damaged.

If you can't/couldn't enjoy this run, where they obviously overacheived and go to the "bAh ATlAnTa sPoRtS!", line then you just wanna be miserable and perhaps should just quit watching sports.

STFU!

This was one of the greatest surprise runs in recent memory. Were you really thinking championship or bust?

Again, Atlanta fans are psychologically damaged.
