The NBA has an Atlanta Hawks PROBLEM…
The Atlanta hawks have won 17 of their last 20 games and are a team that nobody wants to play come playoff time behind Jalen Johnson and the rest of their young core

3:04 Quin Snyder never took the Hawks to the Eastern Conference Finals. (Yet!)
Thanks for the Hawks content. We get neglected in the media circles. After Kirschner our Athletic beat reporter left they didn’t even replace him. Glad to see our team get some recognition for once.
Hawks are a Jarret Allen away from a championship
Quin was NOT the coach who took the Hawks to the ECF. That was Nate McMillan.
Been a hawks fan since I started to watch basketball when I was 10 I’m 23 and from Atlanta. This team is special. We don’t have high expectations for a playoff run this year
Jalen Johnson is at least 6’10” at this point.
Hawks are 16-2 on this streak. The 2 losses at Houston and at Boston. Right now they play the Knicks in the first round? and they are beatable. be funny if the Knicks lose 1st round. last year they lost to Eastern Conference finals and then fired Tom Thibodeau. imagine losing to Hawks here? IT Could and should happen based on how Atlanta is playing NOW. This turn around all happened when CJ McCollum who was coming off the bench was inserted into starting lineup by Quin Snyder. Team clicked off his veteran leadership. Snyder says his presence in locker room has changed the team too. He was the leader and veteran the team needed
I think Coach has done a great job considering he got shafted with that absolutely abysmal DJM trade AND the Hawks traded away two of their three best players coming into this season (Trae and KP). Bad coaches just don't win more games than the previous season after massive roster turnover.
Only teams Im concerned about is Detroit with Cade, Cavs, and Toronto… Everybody else? Checkmate
F the NBA
HOTLANTA BABY LETS GO HAWKS
Snyder was not our coach that year we made the ECF 🤣🤣🤣🤣 dude trippn
The east still feels wide open not one team feels unbeatable and there is no prime LeBron type of lead team to deal with
No, that was Nate McMillan who took the Hawks to the ECF in 2021 after Lloyd Pierce was fired.
Quinn did not take us to conference finals bud, that was nate McMillan
Kuninga affect
Not only all of that, but we have a lottery draft pick in addition to another first round draft pick. ONSI has been COOKING!!
3:04 Nate McMillan took the Hawks to the ECF, Quinn will take them to the finals this year.
LETS F^CK!N GO HAWKS!! Tonight we take down the magic!!!
we are not lurking at the bottom
Snyder has NEVER taken the hawks to tbe eastern finals!
Nate McMillan was the coach they went to the ECF
That was Nate McMillan that took the Hawks to the Eastern Conference Finals. Quinn came after Nate got fired.
💯💯
either a dark horse or first round exit, because they are too young, i mean CJ has some playoff experience and he is a vet. Maybe in a few years or a year when jalen johnson is going to be top 3 or even top 1 in the league. At this moment they are playing cavs and this is going to be a great series.
They just beat Orlando 130-101
Can’t really contribute his success to Duke. Bc they tanked his draft value bc he left freshman season
I have been a huge Hawks fan from the day they took the tour and were introduced p
Jalen and NAW are the two best non-max contracts in the league. All NBA guy in Jalen has 5 years on his deal (30m/yr) and NAW signed a 4 year deal this offseason worth 14m/yr. If the pels or bucks give us a high lottery pick, we’re poised to run the east
No one wants to see us because we’re boring AF without Trae Young
I like the breakdown! Got a sub from me. Could you do a breakdown of Quin's playcalling and schemes?
Wait until we get ANT
As an Atlanta sports fan it's their biggest comeback in a long time since 2014-15 plus I am so glad that we got rid of trey Young. I think we just found our new face of the team and possibly the player that's going to outshine what Trey young was expected
As a long time Hawks fan I'll say this is one of the best teams I've seen for sure. Dyson is so underrated, he's a genius player. We have like 5-6 players that are excellent. Jalen is the best draft pick we've made I think ever or since I've been watching. These are good times most Hawks or Atlanta sports fans will tell you that we suffer a lot.
34 is not that old in basketball if you're a skill-based player
CJ McColum is a pretty good scorer who provides exactly what they needed: shooting, scoring, ball handling, and some passing while still being ok (better than Trae) at defense 😂
The east is a young powerhouse rn, hornets, pistons, hawks, all teams tha historically aren’t very good
As a Hawks fan videos like this give me toxic optimism 😂😂😂
