  1. There was a great moment I think near the end of the Milwaukee game where Hunter was subbed out and he and Quinn exchanged looks on the sidelines where Quinn’s expression was basically saying, “See?” If he keeps up this level of play (and stays healthy), we are Dangerous.
  2. Jesus, how good can this team be if Trae starts hitting more than 20% of his threes?
  3. They lost because they shot 5/29 on threes. If they continue to shoot 17% from three, then it’s time to panic.
  4. The national media basically ignored or were negative towards Trae his first few seasons, then the ECF run happened and they begrudgingly had to acknowledge that he was sort of good, maybe, but not really. Then he struggled in the series against Miami and the narrative reverted back to wondering if he should even be a starter in this league. Add in the historic media bias against Atlanta teams and players and there you have it. I’m convinced if Trae was drafted by the Knicks he’d be on his third All NBA team at least.
  5. I think maybe they should redo this stupid poll with the events of this last week in mind.
  6. That was really beautiful. Trae gave us one purely joyous moment in what has felt like a lost season. Love to see sad Boston fans. It is truly crazy that Trae didn’t shoot a free throw until the last two minutes of the game. He had multiple drives that should’ve earned him free throws. The TNT guys kept complimenting Boston on how they were able to play defense without fouling, which is hilarious. Just because the refs don’t call them doesn’t mean they’re not fouling.
  7. Hunter on track for a historic 0 points 0 rebounds 0 assists 0 steals 0 blocks in 30 minutes performance.
  8. AJ Griffin may end up being the second best player Schlenk has drafted. Incredible shot making ability for a 19yo. Has a natural feel for the game and a great competitive streak. Love this kid.
  9. Loving this aggression from Hunter. If he plays like this in the regular season, this team is going to be a problem.
  10. Nate seems like a good guy, so it brings me no joy to say this, but that was the type of season, capped off by that performance in the playoffs, where you have to make a change. We’ve watched this team struggle to inbound the ball, handle any type of pressure, box out, etc. All year other teams, regardless of talent level, were just quicker to the ball than the Hawks. Whether that’s a personnel or a coaching problem, I’m not sure, but it’s the coach’s job to make adjustments when things aren’t working, and Nate never did. On top of all that, it just felt like our players regressed. I honestly can’t think of a worse outcome from the end of last season to today.
  11. Can’t remember the last time a 1-8 matchup was used as a referendum on the abilities of the best player on the 8th seed. Basically this is what they were all itching to do last year but the Hawks spoiled it, so they’re just going to pretend last year didn’t happen.
  12. The refs essentially saying no one is allowed to defend Butler.
  13. It definitely felt like the Hawks had unlocked a cheat code with the Trae-Delon-Bogi-Gallo-OO lineup. I pray our coaching staff recognizes this.
