San Antonio has stars. they're just stars that are willing to work within the system. but they're stars nonetheless.

Hawks just have a collection of really good players.

[BlakFrankWhite]

Hawks play like the mid-2000s Spurs

This gonna be good!

Why do the spurs have stars and Hawks only really good players when the Hawks players are playing better this season? Is it because of what they did years ago?

It's a joke you moron

[T_L_P]

Why do the spurs have stars and Hawks only really good players when the Hawks players are playing better this season? Is it because of what they did years ago?

Because they've had a cancer for 95% of the season and they've had some very significant injuries (Kawhi and Splitter particularly).

Not to mention the Hawks have played like 15 more games against teams from their vastly inferior conference. And the Spurs have had deep Playoff runs for three years now.

Come Playoff time, Duncan and Kawhi > any Hawk. Horford is a star though. :confusedshrug:

[DMV2]

Korver is back?

He needs to give me like six or seven 3's to make up for all missed game this week. :lol

After consecutive losses to GS and OKC, I'm a bit down on the Hawks. I felt if they had taken those 2 games, they would have proven they were the top team. Right now, I think they lose to Spurs. If so, they drop out of top 5.

The Hawks have nothing to prove until the playoffs. They've already proven they're a top team multiple times. Not sure why the Hawks have to jump through 4 times the hoops as other teams.

To elaborate even more here is their records vs relevant teams:

Chi: 2-0
Cle: 3-1
Dal: 2-0
GSW: 1-1
Hou: 2-0
Lac: 2-0
Mem: 1-1
Por: 2-0
San: 0-1
Tor: 1-3

They've done more than enough to seal contender status

[PotOdds]

Just like you can't discount the Spurs due to their earlier season struggles, you can't yet give the Hawks the top status, especially now when every relevant team is gearing up for the playoffs.

If Hawks lose to Spurs, I'm not sure where the Hawks stand. They play well in the early season but they aren't playoff tested. I think they drop quite a bit if they lose today

They don't drop at all what? They've already proved everything they have to until playoff time. Winning or losing this game changes absolutely nothing.

Duncan doesn't need any propping. His career speaks for itself

Losing 2 in a row to top contenders. Then losing at home to the Spurs. They drop.

"What have you done for me lately". They've already proven everything they have to. I don't understand why Insidehoops posters like yourself can't look at the big picture. It's like your minds are incapable of processing anything outside the past week.

[T_L_P]

That's my key, tbh :applause:

[G0ATbe]

Homeless mans spurs. :facepalm

Hawks stand no chance against anybody out West. Please don't make the finals.

[PotOdds]

Why is it so hard to admit that another loss, especially at home, is a big warning sign? These are the top contenders, they are losing to. Everyone is priming for playoffs. Just cause they got hot in the early season before everyone else doesn't mean anything. Don't be blinded by the early season.

A lot of people were writing off the Spurs cuz of their early season struggles. Now let's see where they end up

Team that peaked way too early. Bandwagon Hawks fans haven't been showing up around here like they used to.

Meanwhile we're heating up at the perfect time. :applause:

By "getting hot" you mean having a too 5 run in the entire history of basketball? This isn't a warning sign. The Hawks were at their best when games atually mattered I them. This game doesn't matter, nor do any left. They have the 1st seed locked up. These are just filler games.

[Alamо]

There's no Kawhi East. That's the main reason why the hawks wont win a chip

[Artillery]

4 steals already at half time. Kawhi's a monster on defense

[beastee]

It is time to admit that the hawks peaked too early. I know they are resting some players here and there, but they do not look like a championship team.

Have some pride? You mean like not giving up on season after 3 f*cking games? Jesus. Your logic the spurs are finished since they lost to the knicks. Pack it up its over

Tim and Splitter is a thing of beauty.

The key and the GOAT. :bowdown:

Nope. T'was a bad performance by us.

I'm not acting like we lost that game because we coasted though. You are basically saying the Hawks will turn it up and start performing like a real contender when it matters...that's not how it works. Teams don't hibernate. You're supposed to enter the Playoffs playing well.

Teague is their key. Since the all star game he has only had a handful of games where he actually looked like an all star. If he can't pick it up...they are out in the second round.

Why are you acting like the voice of reason when you're trying to discredit an entire seasons of work over 3 games? You troll yet at the same time want people to value your opinion. Can't have it both ways

King deflecting. I asked you earlier to provide proof that I hate on multiple Spurs and you came up with nothing then too. :lol

[Artillery]

duncan with 4 blocks
leonard with 4 steals
splitter and green playing great d too

spurs are so good from the sg position all the way to center. unfortunately, they have a mediocre point guard in parker. otherwise, their starting lineup is great

Duncan-Splitter-Green-Kawhi is the best defensive four man combo in the league imo.

Duncan and Splitter have incredible together on offense tonight too.

Shit I just tuned in. Hawks are getting blown out. Again. Something is really wrong with them. Then again it could just be reality. Blown out at HOME.

Ah, so actual facts that prove how effective pieces around Duncan have been without him?

Yes, because that makes things totally unfounded!

Also, that was about the help around prime Duncan. I've said hundreds of times his current team is stacked. I always talk about how great Kawhi, Green, Splitter, Joseph etc are. Keep trying.

Spurs Turning it on late season is about as expected as lebron to stat pad against the bucks in a meaningless game. Spurs gonna be a tough out in the playoffs.

[Indian guy]

Spurs are such class :bowdown:. There's not a damn team in the league that's beating them in a 7 game series. Really, Cleveland's only goal to the end the season should be to finish with a better record than SA. If they make the Finals, they'll be facing SA and having home court will least give them a prayer.

[PotOdds]

What? Nothing worse than a stan who doesn't see the obvious. This 3 game stretch has exposed where the Hawks really are. 2 blowouts. This last game was really a teller. Hawks needed to respond at home against the champs. Instead they get blown out. Very troubling.

Let I said, Hawks are now out of the top 5 teams.
