Let's look at some facts shall we?

Hawks are tied with Chicago at 22nd ranked schedule in the league... and the bulls and wizard fans are the main suspects of calling the Hawks schedule a piece of cake. However, wizards have the 2nd most easiest schedule at 29th and Bulls are tied with them.

I believe people are running out of excuses.

Wasn't this a big deal a month and half ago? The Hawks haven't had a gimmie game since back on December 10th against Philly. Even Utah had won 4 out of 5 when the Hawks played them.

The Wizards have about three quality wins all season.

Cleveland, Clippers, Rockets and the Bulls

The Hawks have:

Cleveland, Chicago, Portland, Memphis, Washington, Houston, Dallas, Clippers (twice)

The Hawks have one bad effort against a good team. That was that first Cleveland game where the Cavs shot the lights out. Losing by two points to a healthy SA team on the road is nothing to be ashamed of.

His claim doesn't make sense when you consider that the playoff crowds have been good.

It's so easy to say shit on the internet that does not make sense.

You guys are dangerously stupid.

If you think the Hawks will flop or go out early in the playoffs... Or if you want to mock the regular season crowds, that makes sense. But the fans have actually showed up to the playoff games.

Cool, how do they rank versus fellow playoff teams in the playoffs?

But the fact that they are currently 24th in average home attendance, and 25th in home percentage speaks wonders.

They've had nearly 4 straight sellouts.

It doesn't sound like a lot, but we'll see.

The home crowds have been terrible over the years. But the fans show up for the playoffs.

19,000 a game for a 38 win team in a series against a 50 something win team is pretty good.

http://espn.go.com/nba/team/schedule/_/name/ind/year/2014/seasontype/3/indiana-pacers

They were doing about as good with crowds in the first round as Indy was.

And the crowds were part of the reason the Hawks took Boston to 7 games back in 2008.

They just haven't invested in the 82 game season.

I'm just wondering if you have a link to where it can be compared to other playoff sides is all, not saying that the number wasn't solid.

Don't want to go box to box to check it.

But why is it that they can't seem to climb into the top 15-20 of attendance during the reg season>

I don't have a link. You have to go through and just look at the box scores to see the attendance numbers.

The local media hasn't sent anyone to cover the Hawks on the road this year until the Detroit game. It took almost half a season for the AJC to even follow the team on the road. The media here have never really covered the team unless it's the playoffs.

Sorry, but we all know that people are sheep. If the media here and the national media are going to ignore the team the locals are going to do what they do. Think about it, on Inside the NBA the other night they basically ignored the Hawks... Promoting Washington, Toronto, and Chicago as top east teams... But no mention of the Hawks.

You think the general fan is going to respect a team that basically gets no coverage? C'mon... Georgia is not a basketball state.

It's not the only factor... But it plays a part. Then you have the terrible ownership and there has always been the sense that this franchise has been happy just making the playoffs. No star player for 20 years either. There are a lot of factors.

The truth is that the national media does not respect the Hawks because the home town fans do not respect the Hawks.... Funny enough, that's probably why the people in Atlanta don't respect the Hawks... Because nobody else does.

A needless unjustifiable topic is what it is. Most of them are on Kobe/Lebron....you and other Hawk fans have been making them on the Hawks.

Bad is bad.

One of you made like 3 one word topics in a day....

You on here talking about everyone bashing the Hawks schedule....when 15,000 people here have not even mentioned the Hawks this season.

We dont need topics containing only the word "salty". Or on two people saying something....when you clearly could have responded in the topic they said it. As you notice...ive not prevented you from doing it. I dont even think you are a bad poster(though some Hawk fans are..some of all fanbases are)

I know that Hawk fans will come out of the shadows and make noise as bad teams fanbases do in the good times.

Im fine with it. Thats sports.

Im just saying...many people are getting fed up with it quickly. And Hawk fans acting like everyone is upset or talking down on them when they themselves generate almost all anti Hawks discussion is annoying.

At one point a couple weeks ago one of you made a topic asking why everyone was so "salty" about the Hawks...and I took a moment to check. 280 topics had been made since one the least bit related to the Hawks.

You guys are generating hate by being annoying. It becomes perpetual...feeds itself. You keep acting like people are upset...they get upset because you annoy them...then they actually ARE upset...and you make more "Why is everyone upset?" topics.

As I said...im not...keeping you from it. And you arent some awful poster or anything. But dont act shocked when it goes too far and topics start getting closed right away because they are just grease fires in the making.

Its nothing you or anyone would get banned over or anything. So dont take it as some undercover threat. It isnt that serious. Just explaining my line of thinking so you know why when it gets out of hand.

The thing you don't understand about this site is everyone thinks they're a funny guy so people will just post "lolz hawx 1st round exit" regardless of how good they are. That's fine but when hawks fans talk up their team it's not ok? These mods on here are so used to the trolling they just let it slide, which is far worse than what we as hawks fans are doing trying to promote our team.

I wouldn't post so many Hawk threads if people would stop bringing up the myth that Hawks have no one going to their games when they have sold out their last 5 straight at home... It gets annoying. I fight fire with fire back. I can be an objective, reasonable poster only if the others are willing to be.

Sure, I exaggerate the truth, but who doesn't sometimes? I'm so proud of my Hawks its hard to resist. I haven't felt like this since the 90s, or 2008. And you can't deny that they haven't gotten the media credit they deserved yet. They haven't been mentioned once on Inside the NBA and ESPN First Take.

And people still underrate the Hawks, saying they are a first round or second round exit. I'm just trying to educate them.

And I have chilled down on the Hawk threads, and the one making the "Salty" comments isn't me, that's Hawkfan.

I thought you blocked me bruh.

And they still rank 24th in total, 25th in %.

I haven't got to it yet because I'm watching my team destroy the wizards.

They had a bad start to attendance after selling out the home opener but had a great month of december and so far this month.

Bottom line is this, Hawks fans--until your team makes it to the ECF or NBA Finals, ya'll need to chill. Anything less than that will be considered a failure of a season with the way your team has been playing this year. And you have to know, if ATL flames out in the playoffs, ya'll gonna get trolled HARDER than any other stans for all the shit ya'll been talkin this season.
This. SO THIS. Everyone here knows they are good. Hell they are great right now. But man they have no excuses now and if they get bounced in the second round it will be a blood bath. Us nice posters have tried to warn them...

I'm talking shit because they don't show up over the course of the season and have fan support equivalent to a soccer side in Barbados. And that is it.

You guys are getting sensitive and bringing up a five game stretch to battle a 41 game season. It's like me saying "Hawes was a great signing because he's 2-3 from the field tonight"

In fairness, you guys are always going to move the goal post.

They can't win..... They win.... Well, they can't beat good teams... They beat good teams.... Then the argument becomes that they can't win in the playoffs.

Then, people say the fans don't show up.... When they start showing up the goal post gets moved again.

This x100. To start the season it was:
- They can't make the playoffs
- They can't beat .500+ teams
- They can't beat western teams

When they realize they were completely wrong about how good the Hawks are:

- They can't get fans to the games
- Their fans are only bandwagoning.

What's wrong with just admitting you're wrong?

When they had a sell out against the Bucks a few weeks ago that was the biggest sign to me that things might be changing a bit. The Hawks selling out in a game against the Bucks? How unlikely is that?

They have no star player... They're not great team.

No, they are a great team, but have superstar.
Like mid 00s Pistons.

Well, I was talking about the Bucks.... It's not like the fans showed up because the Bucks have a great player or something.

Fair enough.

Right now, the Hawks are a great team.

I haven't moved a single "goal post".

I've said they suck in attendance, and only that, and Hawk fans got sensitive and said that they are good in attendance due to the past five games!

Sure, you can say the Buck game may be a sign of change, but they still are 24th/25th on the year so far.

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm just picking at you. That's really not my intention.

I do understand that the Hawk fans here are too much right now. I think people just want to bring them back down to earth a bit.
