Hawks have been getting by the last few games. Pelicans won't coast tonight. I expect tons of points across the board against the Hawks defense.
It's as good a day as any for the streak to end, tbh. if AD is beasting, there's a good chance it ends tonight.

I feel good about the game tonight. I think the streak ends.

Me too. Pelicans usually play to the level of their opponents. Hawks are battling injuries as well and haven't played their best the last couple of games.
Wow. I'm mentally exhausted to give an extended response. Agree to disagree. I'm done.
Anyway, props to ATL for being the best team in the league. I'll watch the game tonight.
It may just end tonight.
Probably good for it to end now. The Hawks won't be distracted by it once they lose.
My thoughts pretty much exactly. If they lose, will be interesting to see how long it take for them to hit their stride again.
This was easy to predict. Pelicans are hard to beat at home when they don't coast and the Hawks don't have enough defensively to keep up. Should have bet on this game.
Too bad they don't play 82 games at home, otherwise they might squeak into the playoffs.
Yeah they suck in on the road. That's because they're a bad defensive team.
The Hawks looked like a bunch of whipped es. They looked pathetic.
They should feel embarassed since the Pels are only 23-22.
But, they have been coming back down to earth in the last 5 games.
A 48 win team that overachieved for 2 months.
See ya in 4 years!
and just like last year, Tyreke Evans is thriving since becoming the team's point guard
Fact is.... I've seen this franchise go through the Koncak stuff, the bad drafts, the the first exits and poor ownership.
This a treadmill team just like it was before. They had a nice 2 month run.
LOL
Hawksfan gets a taste of winning and he wants more. Be glad they built enough gap to not completely fall off the playoffs picture.
Its not gonna last long once Holiday is back. Hard to bench him or Gordon at this point, but Holiday was their 2nd best player before this injury.
Timely thread OP. Timely thread.
Unibrow is a top 3 player this year imo. He's a monster who can't be controlled. This is the problem Hawks are gonna run into, when someone like AD or Durant go ape on them. Anything can happen including a loss. I also think scrubs are going to be more scrublike come playoff time, reducing good players to average to ty players (ie most of the hawk's team).
Heroball doesn't work anymoreWake me up when Davis has a team
This is a superstar driven league.Heroball doesn't work anymore
The only team I can think of that had consistent success and a championship without a true superstar were the Billups/Wallaces/Hamilton/Prince Pistons. Even the Spurs, although always unheralded had the big three (three of the best players and teammates ever to play the game) during most of their le runs. I can't really say the same for the Hawks. They are an excellent team but I wouldn't even equate one of those Hawk players to any of the big three during their primes. If the Hawks can be the Pistons, then ok, but unfortunately I don't think they are the defensive juggernaut that Pistons team was. I like the Hawks and would root for them over the rest of the bag East but the second half of the season is less certain now. This lost will test their mettle. We will find out a lot about who they are shortly.
