Is it too much to ask to get out of the first round this year?
19:39 The spread was 6.5. Do the math. This is the NBA.
1.) I realized that the most of the Hawks fans who hate on Dyson (and Okongwu) are definitely the same ones who loved Trae. They literally do not understand basketball or how to win a game of basketball.
2.) McCollum really is done. We just have to hope we can survive until the trade deadline and enjoy his two good games he might have until we get something for his expiring contract
3.) We deserved to lose this game. I am glad we didn’t, but we were genuinely terrible against a terrible team. Tons of missed shots right around the basket. Both teams looked like total clown shows out there…literally looked like the Bad News Bears. If we keep playing like this we finish .500.
4.) Luka is averaging 40 points per game and we traded him away for Trae Young and Cam Reddish.
Was at the game and I'd say both the offense and the defense were bad in the first half. The entire game was a struggle on offense. No one it felt like was shooting up to their season average tonight, but the defense finally locked it down late and the Nets shooting came back to Earth about half way through the 3rd. If the offense was not struggling so hard the Hawks could have run away with the game in the 2nd half. If anyone is still looking for Jalen to be that Star player of a Franchise I think he showed it tonight. Jalen put the offense on his back in the final few minutes to drag the Hawks over the finish line.
Too bad we can't play The Wizards, Brooklyn, Charlotte & Orlando all year. We've had a pretty easy schedule up until this point. Outside of the Rockets we haven't played any really good teams. And no Cleveland isn't good imo
our defense was looking so bad got way better at the end but sheesh it was a really good game the hawks struggles made this a fun game to watch but they were beating themselves all our losses besides the 2 houston games we beat ourselves which is a good sign and also a bad sign but great game to watch very entertaining
all the blocks at the end of the game 😮💨😮💨 cj even got a block and naw dropping wolf
3-0 in the Kingston era
The two challenges we won were incredibly invaluable
I hope they play better Monday
Reading the transcript of this podcast is a riot/sad . The misspellings of our players is insanely bad Okongwu/ nickel / zuby-etc. is there anyway you can teach AI to spell our players names correctly? It’s disrespectful and borderline racist. I wouldn’t be surprised if AI is racist.😩🥵😡
Are we an ugly win team?
The team is finally defending home court!! Its about time and its great to see!
early sample size like you said for sure, but it's looking like a great thing the hawks are only committed to CJ for this year
Brad, i was going to holla at you last night but you were walking like you were on a mission (before the game started). Nevertheless, love the content. I appreciate your work/effort. 🫡🫡🫡
