> Hawks now 39-39. They have scored 9,209 points and allowed 9,210. They are 24-24 against the East and 15-15 against the West. They have been within one game of .500 for 72 consecutive days.
Some crazy stats.

So many statistical anomalies this year
I thought it was crazy with the record but holy shit the points too…..the world is a crazy place
perfectly balanced
Midlanta
Definition of mid
This is much more interesting than being regular mid, become historically mid
“They have scored 9,209 points and allowed 9,210.”
Ruined, end of an era.
They hire Jeff Fisher in the offseason?
Hawks defying the laws of physics for 72 days
Hawks games are honestly the final frontier of modern philosophy. You can’t watch a Hawks game this team and at some point not wonder why we’re all here. Watching this team suffer in front of an audience on a game to game basis really makes you question what the purpose of suffering without an audience is.
How is this possible
Something, something, good, honest, .500 basketball
if they win game 1, they win every series in 7
We breaking records baby! Ain’t no one worried about tha NBA finals when we can go into the record books as the most mid team of all time
Nothing more scary than facing the Hawks after a loss. We are the 1-tech Draymond of NBA teams.
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’ll win a couple, too. But
don’t get too excited or let it go to your head. No long winning streaks
here, no sir. That’s hubris, which this blue collar, hard working
everyman team doesn’t have. A few wins in a row, these guys, true to
form, will balance it out with a couple a losses. Yes sir, that’s my
2023 hawks . A good, honest .500 basketball team.
My god, all of those .500’s are still better than Ben Simmons FT% against them
Think about facing the Hawks in a playoff series.
You beat em once so they’re 0-1
Hawks win because it’s them. 1-1
You win again because you’re good. 1-2
Hawks win because they refuse to not be mid. 2-2
Hawks win again to shake up the narrative. 3-2
Hawks lose because they REFUSE to not be mid. 3-3
Now it’s game seven just like that and you’re nothing but a pile of doubt, despair, and bargaining with God. Looking around at what has befallen your presumptive but misguided sweep prediction. Holding on for dear life that the middest of mid teams doesn’t take your soul along with your dignity.
*I posted this 5 days ago but it just seems like destiny is daring this team to fulfill this prognostication.
Truly incredible. As disappointing as this season has been for the Hawks, the unbeaten .493 Hawks storyline is really interesting.
They really the ones who deserved that “Definition of MID” post somebody did on the Knicks earlier this season
Didn’t the Hornets also do this like 2 years ago? Not a great place to be
Is it a side quest for Hawks this season? Like if they end the season 41-41, they will unlock some 5-star gems or crazy shit as if it’s a RPG game?
Someone in Atlanta about to win some insane prop bet.
Illuminati confirmed.
The 23 Hawks are basketball outsider art
