    The Hawks simply haven’t shown they’re built to consistently challenge top-tier teams. And when you look at the whirlwind of trades since last season, you have to ask: what transformative value was truly added beyond Dyson Daniels? It feels like a team caught between directions rather than charging toward one.

  5. @ChefSpicyRice

    Coaching is the reason this team is being held back. We have the personnel (when they aren't injured) to go up against any contender right now but our rotations are genuinely atrocious.

  6. @tjsatori

    So is Quin really the problem or not Brad? Is Onsi going to bring in his own selection for coach?

  9. @anb8946

    I'm not mad about this game because if you're going to punt on a game, do it 100%. Don't send Dyson out to die if Jalen is gonna sit.

  10. @anb8946

    I need a game like this every once in a while to remind me how transformational Dyson is.

  11. @anb8946

    I'm pretty much done with Corey Kispert. He doesn't do anything well except make a couple of lay ups per game.

  12. @AndrewPolander

    Not having JJ and Dyson at the jump..even with Minn on a back to back you just knew was a big ask! However…moving forward..QUIN…CJ MUST absolutely start at the point…PERIOD…either Dyson(my choice) or NAW has to start next to him..I prefer NAW off the bench in that 6th man role…the TO's and Helter Skelter play at times is frustrating…BUT THOSE 3 need to dominate the guard minutes! We're ALL hoping for the good Kuminga..to come back soon..Zacch is young but just really can't be a starting forward..especially having Kuminga..It must be JJ and Kuminga at the starting forwards…Zacch..i have no problem being that next forward off the bench..and then OO Start..backed up by Landale…KISPERT ..i have no problem with being that 9th man in the rotation…but NO HIGHER than that! Our primary 8..when healthy..BETTER be the 8!!! Kispert/Mo/ASA/Gabe/Buddy/Koloko….only situationall minutes..C'mon Quin…give us a chance…that ..with a favorable cl;osing schedule gives us a real shot at #6 spot or at the very least a member of that 7/8 play-in which really is SOOOOOO much better than the 9/10..which would be a big time longshot to get in! QUIN…YOU better start CJ!!!!!!!!!!!! and PLEASE when ready START KUMINGA..give Zacch sol,id minutes off the bench and bump down Kispert!

  14. @AndrewPolander

    How the hell do you trade away a player that you really wanted in the off-season..when he was playing lights out..and 1 of the best 3 point shooters in the league???? ONSI….sorry….that was a REAL..unfortunate..unnecessary STINKER!!!!!!!

  15. @governorhenderson5638

    Absolutely terrible, and this team declines on any given night, which proves that Quinn should be fired. They almost never seemed prepared, as they don't examine any scouting reports to know the other team's personnel, or even their own strengths vs the other team. In addition, someone is always listed as questionable or out for this team since day one. The Hawks are not good enough to play in this league without 5 players that can consistently play together. Lastly, from what I say last night, Kispert, Vincent, and Hield are just stuck in concrete and look lost, so these trades were probably for nothing. This Hawks franchise just can't get it right, and it's embarrassing to think fans should support these high school performances.

  17. @trubrew613

    This game could have been an incredible opportunity for your past two first round picks to make some noise, but they appeared to do nothing. To their credit, this was an awful matchup for them.

    Starting to think Kuminga is mainly here to light a fire under Zacch, since JK is a terrible fit w/the team and doesn't make much sense otherwise (other than to flip his team option). Zacch has to finish strong or Onsi will be looking for a starting SF in the offseason.

    And I like Asa but at full strength, he shouldn't be playing over Mo. We need Mo's defense more than Asa's offense. Let Asa get more G league reps. He will be fine.
