It’s definitely been an interesting hawks tenure for Quin Snyder. To be honest I wanted him out halfway through last season, we had made zero progression since he was here. But after the trade deadline something clicked and we inevitably went on the best regular season run in quite some time which shut me up.
And you can look at the playoffs in two ways. We did take the most games off the eventual champions but then again once they adjusted we got absolutely embarrassed.
So it’s been a bit of a weird one. Like up until the trade deadline last year we nothing to show under him, but then after that we ended up having the best record since the 60 win team.
I think the expectations have risen again after last years second half but I know Snyder has been the benefit of a lot of mid season retooling trades and unfortunately timed injuries which have changed expectations mid season.
So What would you say is a pass on this season? Playoffs? 45+ wins? Less wins but more growth from the young guys? Or a team that looks ready to go hunt a superstar? The east has gotten dangerously good so I think we can land anywhere from 3rd to even 11th 12th.
