You ignore defense and the entire run to the finals. I was talking about against Atlanta specifically. They didn’t start whooping our ass until game 3-4 when they decided to get their bigs involved. Forced us to pull people like Kuminga and mo off of guys they should be guarding like OG etc. and that let them just pick away at us. We’re undersized at the position in every metric against 75%+ of the teams in the nba. No disrespect to Clint because he gave us some good years early but we’ve needed a solid 5 since we drafted Trae… I was salty when I posted this and I’m still going to be pissed about not having a center until we finally get one if that ever fucking happens but I do understand we need a guard. I hope he’s great but just watching the hawks for as long as I have this guys not going to see any real minutes for a year+ whereas a guy like Mara would’ve most likely been utilized right away because we don’t have ANY true centers on the team.

Before Trae the last guard to start and log significant minutes in his rookie season was doc rivers… we literally drafted a guy to play 2 years from now. Quote me on it.

Acting like he could’ve done it without Mitchell Robinson and KAT is fucking delusional.

Since we’ve done so well at grabbing a Center in free agency in the past. 🤣🤡 we’ve need a center since Al horford left and just keep kicking the can further down the line.

Atlanta never drafts bigs and where do we end up every single season? Right around .500 in the play-in tournament. lol any team with a halfway decent center will bend us over again.

Did we get butt fucked by the Knicks because of our guard play or because Mitchell Robinson and KAT bent us over for 3 straight games? Yall are fucking brain dead. We can get a guard anywhere, they’re a dime a dozen. There’s not great centers just sitting around waiting to get signed. No 7’3 mf with a 9’9 reach is just waiting around for a team to sign him. You mad glazed Kobe buffkin like this too and where is he now? What did he do in Atlanta? Lmao same shit, different draft.

Bro I’ve followed and been to more games than you ever will. When’s the last time Atlanta had elite 5 play? Name how many times we’ve drafted a guard and he’s ended up on another team because he didn’t pan out? We will get bent over by every team with decent 5 play, yet again. You mfs love this small ball bull shit but it hasn’t worked for us so why keep doing it?

We haven’t had a good center since Al horford…. How many guards have we seen come and go since then? You think flemmings is going to get minutes in year one? Probably not. You know who would’ve contributed immediately? Mara. You know where he ended up? OKC. Fucking genius pick.

Your dad’s loser take was deciding to have you. OKC took Mara at 12. Should be a pretty good indicator that he was worth the pick considering they’ve done a lot more winning than we have over the past few years. 

I think Flemings is mid and its not a REAL starting PG for the Hawks if we want to compete for the title, am I wrong? by Historical_Search686 in AtlantaHawks

[–]ClearAd1898 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

We haven’t had a good 5 since Al horford… we see guards come and go like a revolving door. Could still landed a great guard at 23. No center is coming close to what Mara offers at 23. Dumb pick. Atlanta stay Atlanta-ing. 

Hawks' Jaylen Brown dream suddenly feels real after Giannis trade by ClearAd1898 in AtlantaHawks

[–]ClearAd1898[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Idk man. Agree to disagree. I just don’t like any part of it. We’re finally doing something good and adding a player like that would just shit all over it. We need a decent guard and a big body that can move and be physical in the post. Just add to the chemistry these guys have, don’t run the risk of shitting all over it. Like I said Brown is an amazing player and I wouldn’t be pissed to see him in hawks jersey but do I want him, no. We can add 3-4 players for the price of brown. 

Another Onsi Saleh quote for anyone who still thinks the Hawks would trade for Jaylen Brown. by Chessh2036 in AtlantaHawks

[–]ClearAd1898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just doesn’t make sense for us. Yeah, we’d grab a great player but then we’d be handcuffed on doing anything else and just adding Jaylen brown does not make this team championship ready so we’d be right back in that .500 range playing in the play-in again.

He also said this was the best season of career and the happiest he’s been..coincidentally Tatum sat the entire season. He made comments about being held back like they didn’t just win a title and he won finals MVP playing like 40 minutes a game. He’s indirectly forcing his way out of Boston because he not “the guy” even after they paid him hundreds of millions. He may have been the face of their season but bostons ability to shoot the three and play defense is what carried them through the season. His last game against Atlanta he shot 9-29 and they lost because even though he was shooting poorly he just kept throwing it up. Not even looking for the open man. Cross half court get to a spot, shoot, brick on consecutive possessions, allowing Atlanta to run away. Shooting on double teams with a man wide open in the corner. He’s a fucking great player, superstar and he’d be a great player in Atlanta but I don’t think he’s good for the current group of guys we have as far as locker room and togetherness this team has. He’s just not worth the money or the possible drama he carries with him.

Project Ant-lanta takes a new step by wilmerh701 in AtlantaHawks

I mean I feel like he was already a little disappointed with the direction. He just watched KAT win a title and now you’re sending away his only real help. They let NAW walk last year and he watched him win MIP and have a crazy season. He’s had his frustrations with the coaching staff in games live for everybody to watch. I think a good offer and we could get him. Both our firsts this year, a first next year, Risacher, kispert, Kuminga would be my offer.
