    This is a good, honest .500 basketball team. We play .500 ball goddammit. Salt of the earth, punch the clock, even win/loss ratio basketball. We lose a couple, guess what? We win a couple, too. But we never get too excited or let it go to our head. No long winning streaks here, no sir. That’s hubris, which this blue collar, hard working everyman team didn’t have. A few wins in a row, these guys, true to form, balance it out with a couple a losses. Yes sir, that is my 2023 Hawks. A good, honest .500 basketball team.

    Classic.

    Pretty much story of the franchise since 1980s. Pretty mid, never a contender but frequently in playoff mix, never really sucking too much (except for early 2000s).

    The hawks have a luxury in having both Clint Capone and Wokongwu forever. Being able to split time between two good defensive bigs who are lob threats alongside young gives the hawks so much consistency regardless of who is on the floor.

      Im playing Trae in 10 cat H2H and he’s fantastic. Cut fg%, blocks, turnovers, and draft/pickup all chuckers. Mad fun
