Atlanta Hawks thread - Your Eastern Conference leaders

[Kakkle]

28-2 in their last 30 games. Whoa.

The first page or two are laughs

So it's a close call between the #1 team in the east at home vs the #9 team in the West.

That says all we need to know about the conference system! ;-)

franchise record 15 straight against healthy okc. great game to watch, jittery start, held firm and then went away. not all went to script for okc with them arguing in the 3rd quater over a missed rebound. Okc look like an arrogant team to me, great players and good team. i'll take good players and great team..

Atlanta's record against teams from the West (I think it's at 11-2) suggests they would be a top 4 team in the West. I won't say top 2 because playing against Western opposition game after game after game can be tiring, but they recently went 4-0 (maybe 5-0) on a recent tour so I suggest they could still win around 60-65% if they were playing 50 games against western opposition.

My comment wasn't so much a knock on the Hawks as much as it was on the depth of the Eastern conference. Seriously, there's gonna be 2 or 3 Eastern teams make the playoffs that have no business being anywhere near them. 6th in the East right now (the Bucks) would be 11th in the West.

A backhanded compliment?

 

[Brumbies]

Weve won 10 in a row over the west

Ok, enough already Hawks, you're beginning to get annoying & people are starting to actually talk about you. ;-)

If the Hawks get new uniforms, I'd like to see a simple red/white set.

4 all stars and lose to boston. This is the most overrated team ever. Won't win a championship.

Definitely need some new jerseys. Really dislike the current ones. Remind me of the blandness of Atlanta before present.

I can imagine something similar to the Dubs current jersey, but with the Pac logo instead of the bay bridge.

I can't imagine the pac logo looking decent on a jersey. Would like to see ATLANTA and HAWKS with red or white outline depending on which jersey it is. Blue definitely needs the boot. Too many red/white/blue teams.

NBA season is 82 games long. One loss to a bad team doesn't spell season over. Remember the Warriors have lost to both the Lakers and Utah, and I still expect them to go deep.

Yeah. That was just off the top of my head. I'm sure they'll come up with something good.

Agree with getting rid of blue. Navy is so common now.

Go and take your pessimism elsewhere, with that being said the performance in the 4th quarter was unacceptable but it might be the kick in the pants that they needed to motivate them for the second half of the season

Came across while searching the net. Isn't perfect but is miles better than there current i think.

The away strip is way too similar to Houston's alternate strip imo.

Well they can go back to a dark blue base alternate , even though I prefer there 'Macca's' alternate to there usual ones as well.

They're another team that needs an overhaul.

 

[Oliver King]

Or maybe they could go to a slight variation of their 90s kit.

I love their uniform from the early '70's. Great design, great colours, great font.

Being the Hawks and having those colours, they may be too similar to the Seattle Seahawks. But as long as they don't mind that factor, these would be fantastic.
