Welcome to a Tumblr dedicated to the most underappreciated, shat-upon team in the NBA- Your Atlanta Hawks. Nothing Can Stop Us
Atlanta's Air Force
I can’t wait for Josh Smith to be traded to NY or Boston or LA or Dallas or MIA or CHI so ESPN and NBA TV and TNT can tell us how awesome he is.
I hate when the ones doing all the shitting are ourselves. What do you think? Do we still have a chance in this series? Have you given up hope? Don’t do it.

I’ve never gotten a good handle on the Atlanta Hawks, not since I started following the league in the early ’90s.
They just always seemed to be around. Not quite miserable enough to be irreverent, but never good enough to merit serious discussion.
I went on a little fact finding mission — these days, it means using a search engine and reading a few articles, or just browsing around Basketball Reference, I just don’t want too much credit for such little work — to find some sort of significance about the franchise.
Sure, Dominique Wilkins was a human highlight reel and by all accounts, a must-watch in person, but for a franchise that’s never made it to the Conference Finals since the NBA moved to this playoff format, individual talent cannot outweigh the emptiness of being passengers of the post-season, year in and year out. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH SHUT UP SHUT SHUT UP
You see this? Fuck this. Fuck it early and fuck it often. This is a tired narrative that I for one am just so exhausted with reading. We’re better than Celtics team and we’re far more interesting to watch. There aren’t too many players more fun to watch on the break than Josh Smith and Jeff Teague. Let’s take a front row seat and watch our Hawks break through the wall.
Looks unintentional to me…..
Will this be the chest bump that shuts the door on Boston’s new Big 3 era?
