Pelicans will end the Hawk's streak tonight.

[dzav323]

Davis is a full go and will post 36/12/4. Close game into the 4th, but too much AD in the final 5 minutes.

[atljonesbro]

Bookmarked

[MP.Trey]

Depends on if Reke actually gets him the ball. The Pels PG play when Holiday is out is really lacking.

[All Net]

If davis plays...

[JohnnyBravo5]

No different than LMA last week. We'll just shut everyone else down. The only way to beat us is to defend the 3 and outshoot us from 3.

[hawksdogsbraves]

We bottled up Davis pretty well last time these two teams met.

[Dr. Ice]

I think even hawks fans are starting to expect this possibility as well, especially if we still don't have carroll tonight.

[Hotlantadude81]

They've been slowly coming back down to earth the last 5 games.

They had problems putting away Minny, Nets, 76ers and they really only played one good period against Portland.

[rapker]

please do. Raptors need to reclaim that #1 seed in the east :rockon:

[IncarceratedBob]

wouldnt be surprised. hawks arent that good

[Captvic]

watch u feel stupid OP.

Bookmarked.

Keep drinking the Haterade.

19 in a row is not that good. **** outta here

Why are people saying bookmarked? You guys don't know how to find a thread made the same day?

Almost every good team is wearing down right now. The Bulls, Wizards, Blazers, hell even Golden State all look ready for the break. The only team that's really been playing great is the Cavs, and that's probably because LeBron already took a 2 week vacation this season.

Only you could see some close(r) games during an 19 game winning streak as a sign of the Hawks falling back down to earth.

Sorry, but this team is not as good as the 80's and mid 90's Bulls team. It's not an insult to say that they're not really as good as this 2 month run suggests.

[Captvic]

Sorry, but this team is not as good as the 80's and mid 90's Bulls team. It's not an insult to say that they're not really as good as this 2 month run suggests.

Who The **** said that? We're not trying to be the 90 bulls you dumass do we have a MJ Caliber player? The Hawks know who they are and thats a contender whether you like it or not.

[Hotlantadude81]

Who The **** said that? We're not trying to be the 90 bulls you dumass do we have a MJ Caliber player? The Hawks know who they are and thats a contender whether you like it or not.

I never said that anyone said that.... They've played at that level the last two months and they're not that good realistically. So, maybe you should understand the argument better before calling someone else a dumbass. Dumbass.

Why are you even bringing up the 90's Bulls anyway. You're the first person I've heard make that comparison. It's okay if you wanna take credit away from the Hawks, but at least come up with something relevant **** boy

[JohnnyBravo5]

Sorry, but this team is not as good as the 80's and mid 90's Bulls team. It's not an insult to say that they're not really as good as this 2 month run suggests.
Yeah because it only happened 5 times in NBA history it has to be luck. And Kyle Korver really can't shoot he's just on a hot streak.

[Hotlantadude81]

Why are you even bringing up the 90's Bulls anyway. You're the first person I've heard make that comparison. It's okay if you wanna take credit away from the Hawks, but at least come up with something relevant **** boy

Are you trying to make hawksfan look like a competent poster?

They're on pace for like 68-70 wins. Only a few teams have done that... That's why the comparison is being made.

Were you born this stupid or did you have to work on it?

[Dro]

Sorry, but this team is not as good as the 80's and mid 90's Bulls team. It's not an insult to say that they're not really as good as this 2 month run suggests.
:biggums:

Where did he say anything about the 80's and 90's Bulls?

[Hotlantadude81]

:biggums:

Where did he say anything about the 80's and 90's Bulls?

I'm just pointing out that this team is not as good as the pace they've played at the last two months. The team is on pace to win 70 games and thats 1996 Bulls territory. Hell, the idea that this team might lose a game is enough to offend these posters. That dude went to insulting the OP just for simply saying that the Hawks will lose tonight.

I really don't see how you're having trouble understanding this.

[LoneyROY7]

Eric Gordon bout to go hard.

[supernova5912]

The Hawks are going to win, especially since Jrue Holiday isn't playing. While Jrue Holiday isn't a top 15 point guard right now, he's better than anyone besides Anthony Davis on the team.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

No. Hawks are unstoppable.

[Al Thornton]

teague needs to get fined for that

horrible flop

[hawksdogsbraves]

Kind of a slow pace to this one to start, guys are starting to attack the rim now though.

Glad to see Carroll back, I like Baze off the bench but it's pretty clear he hasn't mastered the offense yet.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Meh defense looks bad and we look a step slow. Davis is such a beast too.

We've got to keep them out of the paint or we could see the streak end tonight.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Dat AD putback :eek:

[imnew09]

where em Hawk fans at? LOL

[notatop29pg]

where em Hawk fans at? LOL

You obviously haven't watched a Pelicans 3rd Quarter.

[hawksdogsbraves]

You obviously haven't watched a Pelicans 3rd Quarter.

I haven't in a long time, but I hope they're worse than their 1st and 2nd quarters :rant

[notatop29pg]

I haven't in a long time, but I hope they're worse than their 1st and 2nd quarters :rant

A LOT worse.

If you are within 10 in the 4th you should win. Our guys don't close out games very well, Tyreke puts on his blinder and Anderson starts chucking while AD gets ignored.

Having said that... Pels are playing much better lately.

[Real14]

Sure have.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Just getting outplayed :confusedshrug:

[LoneyROY7]

The Pelicans are better without Jrue.

Tyreke playing his natural position and Gordon able to distribute more freely.

[La Frescobaldi]

man it's nice to see Dante on a good team he's a real strong player

when he was in minny that team was just blown up game after game with injuries so he didn't get to see the wins he waaay deserved.

[navy]

I swear I just bought my Hawks jersey

[Real14]

You need to return it.

[senelcoolidge]

Bob Pettit at the game..:bowdown:

[navy]

When the Heat were streaking, I never thought they would lose even when they were down 20+ which happened a few times.
Let's see what the Hawks are made of. Will require another gear to win this game.

just what i was thinking. They gotta find a way to slow down A. Davis that's for sure but also they have to get Evans out of that rhythm because he's killing them right now

[hawksdogsbraves]

Mmmm not looking good

Pels by 17!:applause:

Had to lose eventually I guess. Starting a new streak

[hawks4life]

Hawks look tired. Just getting plain beat tonight.

Teague has the best hesitation dribble in the league to me.

N.O by 19!:applause: :applause:

[atljonesbro]

Would rather get this loss out the way vs the Pelicans than against the our next three opponents. I expect a clean sweep of washington, golden state, and memphis.

[lilteapot]

This game will bump up AD's MVP standing quite a bit I should imagine

[Im so nba'd out]

If you're up 21 in the 4th quarter with under 5 minutes left the game should just end

[Real14]

This game will bump up AD's MVP standing quite a bit I should imagine
I think A.D is a nice player but he still shouldn't be even considered mvp since his team is not even top 4 in tha west.

[hawksdogsbraves]

This game will bump up AD's MVP standing quite a bit I should imagine

Dude is a beast, that's for sure, but I don't think this one game will do a whole lot for his MVP candidacy.

[lilteapot]

If his team ends up the 7th-8th seed he definitely deserves serious MVP considerations

Bookmarked
Where you at?

I've posted like 4 times, he's right :wtf: Can you read? I've never had an issue admitting I'm wrong. Only thing is I've been right 19 straight times before this when someone on this forum predicted they lose so I'll gladly take L tonight after 19 straight

[Big Cheese]

watching how we played against the sixers last game, I knew our streak was going to come to an end eventually.

Im just glad Demarre's injury wasnt serious and he was able to play.

[atljonesbro]

Memphis and Golden State are no joke
I know, still confident well pick up the W's. I got faith in the squad :applause:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Hawks are done. No way this team beats the Cavs.

[La Frescobaldi]

Dude is a beast, that's for sure, but I don't think this one game will do a whole lot for his MVP candidacy.

to me it does mean a lot..

They beat down a smokin' hot Atlanta team which granted they clearly were tired out but still....... you are who your opponents are, and they just beat one of the best teams in the league quite convincingly.

[Meticode]

To me he was already a top 5 MVP candidate, nothing he does in one game, (outside of dropping 60 points or something) is going to really move the meter. Until he can carry that team up into the playoffs he's not going to have a shot at MVP.

[Dro]

The Hawks haven't looked that good in the lat 5 games despite the wins. Anything could happen the next 3 games...All those teams are good enough to beat them but they're good enough to beat them also...

[hawksdogsbraves]

They're going to lose to them also.

Good team, but they peaked.

One loss and you're back off the bandwagon. Wish I could say it was fun, but it was mainly just weird. Good riddance :cheers:

Yeah, cant lie. Hawks were winning, but not impressively. Must be getting tired mentally and physically. Still finals bound. :rockon:

[atljonesbro]

I knew all along he'd jump at the first sign of adversity for the team. He's so mentally weak it's insane lol. Never seen such an over dramatic, drama queen. Not a type of fan we'd like to have anyways

[Hotlantadude81]

One loss and you're back off the bandwagon. Wish I could say it was fun, but it was mainly just weird. Good riddance :cheers:

They've played bad for about 5 games. I've been talking about their poor defense for the last 4 or 5 games... The difference that they didn't shoot well tonight. They struggled with Minny, Philly, Nets and Portland. They just got hot in the 4th period against Portland. But the defense has been bad as of late.

[Hotlantadude81]

Anthony Davis looks like a queer and he sure ****ed the Hawks in the ass tonight.

[bigt]

Atlanta will be looking forward to the All Star break, let them take a breath and recharge before the push to the playoffs. Damn impressive streak, they just need to keep themselves going 'till the break

[hawksdogsbraves]

I watched the games, I know we haven't played all that well, but you jumping back off the bandwagon after a poor 6 game stretch, (where we went 5-1 lol) is just classic.

[Hotlantadude81]

The Hawks haven't looked that good in the lat 5 games despite the wins. Anything could happen the next 3 games...All those teams are good enough to beat them but they're good enough to beat them also...

That's what I've been saying....

They're not going to fall apart like Indy did last year, but they're a 48 win team that overachieved for a couple of months.

[Real14]

If his team ends up the 7th-8th seed he definitely deserves serious MVP considerations
That's still not fair compared to past MVP winners tho.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Whatever dude. Before the season I'm sure you said we were going to be a garbage treadmill 40 win team just like we have been for the last decade. Now in your infinite wisdom we're a 48 win team who got hot for a couple months.

If we lose in the first round you'll say you knew we sucked all along, if we lose in the ECF you'll chalk it up to luck and say it's irrelevant because we could never win a championship with this squad anyway.

[Meticode]

That's still not fair compared to past MVP winners tho.
It's true, pretty much all past MVP winners have a top 2 team. In any case, he's been great and playing MVP-like.

[Real14]

It's true, pretty much all past MVP winners have a top 2 team. In any case, he's been great and playing MVP-like.
yep plus tha way I see it is that if Melo couldn't get 2013 mvp then A.D definitely should not win 2015.

I predicted 45 wins.

A loss every once and a while is good. I'd rather lose to non playoff teams than playoff teams.

This exactly I literally have no clue why this guy watches basketball, he's crazy as hell judging by some comments I've seen from him his opinions can't be taken seriously. He needs to stop representing the Hawks fan base on here. Pick up some new hobby like knitting

[Hotlantadude81]

They're not gonna win every game, no one will. I don't know what's so hard for you to grasp about that. A loss isn't the end of the world, and coup bad performances isn't the end of th world especially when you're winning. If you can't understand the team you watch will lose sometimes without having a mental breakdown every time then this isn't a good hobby for you

It's how they have been playing as of late. I've been pointing out their mediocre play the last 5 or 6 games. Tonight is what happens when they can't shoot well and they don't have the tools on the defensive end to make up for it.
