Just keep fuging winning boys. Big game Thursday

76ers without Embiid I would call a gimme too. But he may be back by then. Still no Maxey or George though so we should be favorites either way. But yeah we’ve got some real tests ahead. I’m hopeful though as we’ve been beating plenty of good/great teams for a while now. Knicks kinda suck on the road, we’ve whooped the Celtics once, Pistons may not have Cade and I’m sure our boys want revenge for that bullshit earlier this year. And honestly all that aside I think we can beat anyone on any night.

Honestly haven’t seen fight on the boards like him since Rodman.

We’ve been doing that consistently for like 2 and a half months now. Our only losses are against contenders and half of those were close losses without Moose and Miles

The only team over .500 that the Hawks have beaten in their last 13 wins is the Orlando Magic. They've got some really tough ones coming up and I imagine we'll be able to gain some ground on them too. We have the tiebreaker over them. If we take care of business and win all the games we should win and then roughly split the others I think we're in good shape to get a top 8 seed. Orlando and Philly are in freefalls that have no end in sight. Heat have been as well but they have the tiebreaker over us and as much as I hope they don't, I fully expect them to bounce back. 44-45 wins is realistic for us. 42-43 might get us the 8 seed but more likely 9-10 seed and a tough road to the playoffs. IMO a winning season period is a huge huge huge success for this team. Hopefully we can do even better and get in the playoffs.

Raptors blown out by Phoenix. Man this final stretch is gonna be crazy. Seeds 5-10 in the east are separated by 2.5 games… Hawks only team “hotter” than us, and I think they’re bound to come back down to earth with a pretty tough schedule to close out the season. We have some tough games too but ones that I think are very winnable, and still some very very easy games — which we have been winning consistently in 2026. Don’t think we’ve had a bad loss against a team we should beat since the Pacers in either very early January or late December

My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season. As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory. just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong

I’m still far from convinced but there are some signs that thing could maybe possibly be changing/evolving for the better. Sticking with Bryce is still very telling though

lol Rockets tried their damndest to choke it away and they somehow pull it out on a buzzer beating put back. Let’s go. Jazz also making it a game with Philly as of now

wrong thrad

Ehh I doubt it I think he probably does want to just be a Warrior lifer and continue to contend with them and extend the dynasty/legacy there. I can absolutely see him coming here if the Warriors blow it up but I think he’s fine trying to run it back next year with a healthy Butler, etc. I think it’ll blow up in their faces and if so then he’s a UFA and could just sign here then if he wants and we’re truly contending Magic loss was huge, a questionable out of bounds call with 4 seconds left led to a 3 pointer to win it for LA. Hawks pulled away big on the Warriors’ scrubs, no surprise. Rockets Heat is a tight one. We really need the Rockets to win it. Heat would have a tiebreaker over us but they have a hellish schedule coming up and I could see us finishing a game above them. We have tiebreaker over Hawks and Orlando. Philly TBD. 1.5 games out of 6-8 seeds as of now…

Next 2, Brooklyn and Philly are must wins that we should have no problems winning. Other 2 are Knicks and Celtics in Charlotte, split those. I think that 5 of 6 is very doable. And probably will be necessary for our pursuit of a 6-8 seed. Hawks keep rolling sadly but at least Miami and Orlando finally slipping up after they both had long winning streaks like Atlanta. 76ers obviously in a free fall

fuging beautiful. Everyone on the team has been incredible and locked in tonight.

Lmao, dude is so damn washed can't believe a team out there gave up anything for him

3?? Lol, it's been our biggest need since 2019 when Cam's body officially fell apart.
