The Hawks have been so disappointing this season that in a game against the Trail Blazers, Trae Young lost to the Blazers without Lillard by 56 points and 14 assists. In the past 10 games, the Hawks have lost 7 of them, with a record of only 3 wins and 7 losses. So far in the new season, the Eagles have only gained a record of 16 wins and 20 losses in the games that have ended, ranking 12th in the East, compared with the team's record in the same period last season, the Eagles are undoubtedly a sharp decline, and this team is also considered to be one of the most disappointing teams this season.
In fact, the expectations of the Hawks this season are very high, because in the last season, the Hawks were not optimistic about the outside world, they finally entered the Eastern Conference Finals, and eliminated the Knicks and Philadelphia in the playoffs, and the team performed well.
In the Eastern Conference Finals and Bucks series, the Eagles can also play back and forth, and the overall performance is eye-catching. Before the start of the new season, the outside world ranked the Eagles in the top ten of the league, believing that they would be strong contenders for the Eastern Conference regular season championship this season.
However, after a season of highlights, the Hawks' record this season has plummeted. After the start of the new season with 3 wins and 1 loss, they lost games in succession, suffered a wave of 6 consecutive losses, and the ranking and winning percentage also fell sharply.
With more than 30 games in the new season, the Hawks currently rank 12th in the East, and if you look at the current rankings, the Hawks have not even qualified for the playoffs this season, let alone entered the playoffs. Compared with the expected performance of this team, this is undoubtedly a big gap. So the question is, are the Eagles, who made it to the Eastern Conference Finals last season, just a flash in the pan?
In fact, in part, the strength of the Eagles' full roster is very strong, and last season was able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, which has proved the overall strength of this team. The Hawks have a lot of potential young players in the lineup, and there is no shortage of people in all positions. Coupled with Trae Young's rapid progress, he has learned how to become a better team leader.
The Hawks' poor performance this season is more due to external reasons, and the team has had many players this season who have been unable to play because of health and safety agreements triggered. At the same time, injuries also appear frequently in this team, which also greatly affects the depth of the team's lineup. For example, in the game against the Blazers, the team's inner core Collins, Redish and Hunter and other players can not play, which also makes Trae Young lack a lot of help on the court, although he got a luxurious data of 56 points and 14 assists in the whole game, but the lineup is not complete, which also makes it difficult for the Hawks to win the game.
In my opinion, if the Eagles' roster can remain healthy and the core players can appear in the game, then the strength of this team is still very strong, they have the strength to impact the playoffs, and even achieve a good result in the playoffs. At present, for the Hawks, all they need to do is wait for the injured and isolated players, and after the lineup is gradually completed, I believe that the Hawks' record will have a rapid improvement trend.
