The Hawks were 27-31 after a 31 point loss to the Heat on February 20th. To make the playoffs without even needing the play-in is wild.

Insane to think about. Like my best case scenario at that point was us ending 5 games over .500 and mayybe be the 7th seed

LutherOfTheRogues | Hawks

I could go back and find the comment, but I THINK I said i’d be happy finishing 3 games over .500. This was just insane. It wasn’t a possibility. And we have the Pels/MKE pick + another first. Masterful, Onsi.

I thought .500 at this point of the season would be 41-41. So we have 5 more wins than that

We have 11 more wins than losses atm

Sinekure | ATL

You have to imagine that at 35-35 we would have been at .500

And then the next game you win one, and you’re at 36-35, and obviously one game above .500.

That’s how I make it make sense to myself

What do you guys think is more shocking:

For the first time in 50 years, four humans returned from the moon. They went further than any human has ever been in history.

The Atlanta Hawks are not in the NBA Play-In, often called ‘The Atlanta Hawks Invitational’

Both are historic achievements.

Not to mention, what a fun team to watch for once - I don’t think there’s enough in the tank to fight the odds for another ECF birth, but God it’s nice to feel overall confident about the direction of this team

Tell your friends and family about the 10 games over .500 play-in avoiding 2025-2026 Atlanta Hawks. More than anything else happening in the world today, we are the harbinger that indicates the end of days is truly upon us.

Dyson daniels is amazing, write him off on offense if you want but he basically plays 60% of all positions on the floor at any given time and it’s a truly incredible feat to behold.

If you’re the Washington Wizards front office watching the Hawks completely turn their season around after you “fleeced” them in the Trae Young trade how can you even think about giving him an extension

AJohnnyTsunami | Hawks

He probably takes that $48M player option, they’ll have a year to figure it out. Still like Trae for them honestly

BrettSchirley22 | Hawks

If I’m Traes agent, I’m holding them over a barrel and getting less per year but making them lock in for multiple years

Sometimes you just have to trade your franchise point guard a unicorn center in order to turn your season around.

Quin Rotations can be villainous but fans who hate on him are by and large braindead, this year especially he’s been the man

I think the Cavs ‘core’ is hella overrated and some of them will be traded this summer. Mobley is definitely not as good as The Ringer keeps telling me.

Fuck the wannabe Hawks commentators. Congrats to the Hawks for winning, but I watched to see Cleveland play; would’ve been nice to not hear about the home team all night on the Amazon Prime feed.

Ironic that you say that, cause the commentary was Dell Curry and Eric Collins who are the hornets announcers

Tigerskippy | Hawks

Which is odd, but I thought they did a fun job. It was also funny when they found opportunities to talk about Charlotte

Pristine-System255

They had the perfect opportunity to mention LaMelos middle name being LaFrance when they started talking about Frenchmen lol

Leading-Opportunity7 | Hawks

That’s the hornets announcers. Also this is the first time I think I’ve ever read someone thinking a national game was pro hawks on the call

Hugo_5t1gl1tz | Hawks

Yeah for real, I didn’t think they were. I didn’t think they were pro Cleveland either. They kind of sucked, but seemed pretty neutral 🤷‍♂️
