Great analysis, Brad. I think we're going to win 51 games. Close to yours, just a tad more optimistic. The Hawks are stacked, defensively solid, deep, and healthy. I'm psyched!
Cavs and Knicks both banged up to start the season….not at all sold on the Magic depth…fully expect the BeasleyLESS Pistons to take a 1/2 step back from the unexpected overachieve last year…and the Bucks..not at all sold on that team after the FREAK! In my opinion…this really is the year of the GETTABLE EAST and won't be surprised if the HAWKS are a top 2 seed and then after a trade deadline ONSI surprise….make it to the FINALS!!!!!!!! This can happen!!!! There is no dominant team in the East. Trae and Porz must be healthy and fresh…and JJ expected to have a healthy…BIG step year!!!!!!!! We have Crazy size and length and the depth down to the bottom of the roster is LEGIT!!!!!!!!
Most excited to see Quin's TRAE-LESS line-ups!!!!!!!! OPTIONALITY!!!!
Great Analysis Brad…I'm sooo glad that you feel that way about the HAWKS!!!!! If the Hawks are the 3rd seed…and your prediction is true……..you have to agree that the HAWKS have a lot more ammo/assets to use in Feb when compared to the knicks and Cavs!
Porzingus will play 32 games max.
50-32 FINALS!
In tonightâs game, the Hawks need to start fast and end quarters well. Raptors are much improved team and will give the Hawks problems and might even win it if the Hawks get out-rebounded especially offensively. It will be a good close game.
We're excited over here, Brad. Hawks are winning 56 games this year đ
Magic and Thunder on back to back is brutal.
Hereâs to another season Brad!!
Onsi-nality
The goat never rests
KP first time he played with the National Team in summer, then went into his last season with the Knicks. He averaged 30 ppg in the first 10 games, was talked about as a future MVP, became an All Star, and was the Knicksâ leader. Second time he played with the National Team, then he was a leader for the Wizards, averaged 24 ppg on a team where nobody passed the ball, and became the best post up player in the league. Now itâs his third time after playing with the National Team; this team is expected to move the ball a lot, he says he feels fantastic, itâs his contract year, and he feels like he has to prove something. Really only a 20 ppg projection? He did that in Boston where five guys wanted 15 to 20 shots a night.
Canât wait til the next show to say our defense is still atrocious. Get hipster Quinn out of there and get someone that stresses defense. Quinn is the Mike McDaniel of the nba.
Dyson's contract is an absolute steal for the Hawks, especially when you have scrubs like Quickley and Suggs earning 30+ a year
