Heart Attack Hawks at it again

Playing for a foul when you are an Atlanta Hawk is not a +EV play.

143.4 offensive rating for the Bulls against Trae Young's Atlanta Hawks. 68.5 eFG%, made 20 threes at a 48% clip, nine guys in double-figures. They entered with a 112.9 offensive rating, 22nd in the NBA. Easily their best offensive performance of the year.

That’s part of the stress - can’t watch the stretches where there is no defensive effort or just endless scrambling because they have to cover.

Too soon.

It’s been the same story with this franchise for a long, long time. All of it.

Real talk is that players should stay away from playing for the Atlanta Hawks because they’ll never get a fair whistle here. It’s eternal.

it didn’t take long for Trae Young to climb into the No. 2 overall spot for the Hawks, in terms of EPM

Hawks better not waste the chance to remake the franchise around a deep draft for a cross-your-fingers trade to try and salvage this season.

Onyeka Okongwu has made his 60th three-pointer of the season with his first make from deep tonight. He’s the fifth center in franchise history to make at least 60 triples in a single season.

Per Cleaning the Glass, the Hawks top 3 most used 5 man lineups this season are all performing well NAW/Dyson/ZR/Jalen/OO 451 possessions (4th most in the league) +6.6 Net Rating NAW/Dyson/ZR/Jalen/KP 275 possessions (13th most) +9.9 Net Rating NAW/Dyson/Vit/Jalen/OO 219

In December, Jalen Johnson is averaging 25.0 points 11.3 rebounds 10.5 assists If he plays tomorrow, he would need 5 assists to average a triple-double for the month.

For tomorrow’s game vs. Minnesota: Trae Young (right quad contusion) is questionable. N’Faly Dante (right knee, torn ACL) is out. (Kristaps Porzingis is not listed so he should be available.)

Man, as a teen, I thought we were Finals bound with Theus and Moses joining the crew.

Jason Walker Same, one of the most talented Hawks teams ever. Maybe even the most talented.

Jason Walker I did too

I know BillShanks and I thought so.

This time of year there are all kinds of warnings about drinking and driving, as there should be, but not a damn one about the dangers of eating too much candy.

I don’t believe anything the team or reps leak out. One way or the other. Ultimately, if it makes common sense, it’s probably on the table.
