Go Hawks!
Luke couldn't miss in the third, he's finally coming into his own finally. McCollum is gonna cut into his minutes though
i see the vision Go Hawks !
Thanks Atlanthony Fantano
Yes
Very Happy 🏀
Good trade by Hawks. 🏀
Now can everyone finally admit like i have been saying for years. Trae hurts the Hawks. They play better without him and it was time to move on.It's about the Hawks Not 1 player. Bye Trae now lets go Hawks
Onsi has to be CHOMPING at the bit…to make his next move!!!! Interior help coming!!!! it's going to happen. The EAST is flat out GETTABLE!!!!! We have the depth…we have the assets..to make it HAPPEN!!!!! NOBODY saw the Pacers last year…especially after their poor start! This can be…the year of the HAWKS!!! We have lots of players that want to WIN NOW!!!! Let's Go HAWKS!!!
Let’s be honest. For everyone who was boohooing about Trae leaving and blaming the Hawks organization, this was never just about wins and losses. It is about how the game looks and feels. The ball is moving, roles are clear, and everyone is involved instead of standing around. The depth matters now, and you can see it with how the pieces fit together, especially with CJ and Kispert. So if you were loud before, keep that same energy now.
I told you @Locked On Hawks that Trae Young was a liability. Here's 3 Undersized PG All Stars that never Won Championships, Isaiah thomas, Allen Iverson & Chris Paul & the first 2 played better defense than Trae Young.
JJ/NAW/OO/DYSON/CJ…will be big minute players for sure….Luke just may be serarating himself from the others as well!! That's 6 playoff minute eaters….minus Porz…who unfortunately will probably be traded unless his health issue REALLY IMPROVES!!!! After those 6…we have lots of competent/capable players to slot in when needed! It sure will be nice to see what ONSI pulls off.!!!..in terms of a consolidation trade using some of the others!!!!!!!!!!!! The others!!!!!!!!: Zacch/VIT/COREY/MO/ASA….not too shabby others!!! This just confirms that ONSI has the AMMO…to pull it off!
Interior help on the way!!!!!!! by Feb 6th!
brad, I really hope that your work with LOH leads to something better, higher salary, more appreciation, etc. I never realized how good you are until I listened to Locked On Warriors. You slam dunk the comparions. By the way ,my 7 yr. old LA grandson starts basketball practice next week. I don't say this means anything much, but he was given another basketball goal for Christmas. He now has 3 different sized basketball game goals, with 3 different sized balls. He is a large kid, and he has good coordination for a 7 yr. old. I have a video of him at the halftime of the junior Lakers game. from the free throw line he made 3/5. shots.
CJ is going to be good problem for the Hawks
I think when kispert gets more comfortable, he is gonna take Vit’s minutes. We need another big.
So we get rid of an all star with bad defense for 2 players with bad defense
In the 2nd half I expect us to go 25-15. I see porzingas steadly becoming more relevant and primed for playoff basketball as well as CJ becoming the productive, wise, veteran, stabilizer and very possibly being resigned.
Onwards! This win felt good.
I really think this show is so much better now that we are talking about team play rather than Trae play.
Yo I added the Hawks Screech sound to my arena in 2k. Thats probably the best sound effect in the NBA. 🙂
This team honestly has the makeup of a team where anyone can goes off depending on matchups and feeling hot.
This team is reminding me of the 14-15 hawks. That year i believe we started 44-8 no superstars just great players that played hard and were smart.
I didnt know CJ was making em give up their jersey numbers like he Lebron or something. Is he even a hall of famer? I guess he might be. U know what dont mind me lmao
Man, I felt JJ shoulda scored 45 EASY in this game, these Warriors are so OLD and SMALL. That should be straight bar-b-que chicken for him
This team can be special we have all the parts of a championship team just need another big KP unreliable but love the JJ AND NAW ERA SO FAR 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great win for the Hawks! Was certainly more interesting than the snooze fest that was Chargers vs Pats
It's about that 3rd quarter. They didn't let up and let them come back like a lot of games. They actually scored more in the 3rd this time around.
Will be up late watching Tuesday, let's goooooo
That players only meeting did wonders to Luke
Go Hawks. I love this team and the way they are playing together, in particularly the ball movement, and let's face it, quite different without Trae. And by the way, who would expect them to be elite every night? And to call out CJ regarding his defense when we had probably the worst defensive player in the league prior to the trade is interesting. They just need to continue to play together and for each other, something they were lacking when the offense was being run through one person. I love the additions. I actually think CJ should start instead of Vit. Let's go Hawks.
I'll most definitely be watching the late Lakers game now. And for as much as you do for the ATL community on your reporting, we appreciate it. So don't be hesitant to 'hawk your wares' (see what I did there?😆) on the pod. Thanks for your work.👍 Go Hawks!
Get Jaren Jackson and move OO to bench and this team is scary
we play really great when teams dont have a real center. i love O and all the things he does but i’d love if we “emptied the tank” for gafford. he’s very available and does what we’ve needed since clint started his decline. im sure there are multiple teams that could use the help facilitating (warriors, nets, etc)
Brad, do you think anything of trae saying he wanted to make sure the Hawks got something back for him? im not sure i’ve heard a player say that before
The on ball pressure was INSANE for our backcourt. Watching the game the rotations were incredible as well.
More like Luka Nard!
I really like how you gave Luke Kennard credit for his effort on defense it was refreshing to see !
