Ok Danny lol

In this math most of yall are forgetting the Hawks multiplier (the "Spud constant" if you will), which is not a positive factor for the team. Hasn't been for decades.

Uncanny resemblance

That's actually not a bad idea. Somebody should do that for real for real. (Not me, I dont have 2k)

My wife has some friends that were out in downtown Decatur and they said it was like a snow day, restaurants and stores packed, people at the parks with their snotty little kids coughing on everything. For all the talk and fuss it seemed like business as usual. Out in Podunkville where @Vol4ever lives I'd expect that more than in downtown Decatur. That kind of crap is how @TheNorthCydeRises got that 'Rona.

Super interesting read. Crazy how talented these young guns are. I wouldnt rank it like they did but I don't watch much outside the Hawks anyway, so what do I know. Next year I expect Cam to be on this list. Here's what they said about Trae for those too lazy to click the link and scroll: 5. TRAE YOUNG, 21, ATLANTA One of the most exciting offensive players in basketball, Trae Young ranks fourth league-wide in scoring this season at 29.4 points per game and second in assists at 9.3 nightly. Young is the only player 21 or younger in league history to average at least 29 points and nine assists per contest, an insane accomplishment for the diminutive floor general in just his second season. Of course, over the coming seasons, Young will have to answer questions about his actual impact versus his raw production, considering his Hawks team boasts the third-worst record in basketball in 2019-20, but at the same time, it’s hard to fault the uber-talented point guard for that, considering how much he contributes to the score sheet on a nightly basis. With an improved roster around him, Young will get the chance to prove his value as a winning player over the next few years.

Interesting listen. Also check out this Michael Osterholm guy on the Joe Rogan podcast from a day or two ago. http://podcasts.joerogan.net/podcasts/michael-osterholm

Okay I have to ask. It was AFTER buying the life insurance, right?!? Lol Or were you just like, "oh, I see you're no longer in the market. Ta ta!" and go on your merry way? Wtf

I was initially excited about the Teague signing but more and more I get the impression he won't be brought back. He's too hesitant. There have been so many times that he has the ball wide open behind the 3 pt line where he clearly just doesn't want to take the shot. He's got to be more aggressive; he's in a contract year and a trial with this team if he truly wants to resign here. History favors the bold, my friend. I don't know if he's playing with a nagging injury or still just trying to get used to everyone or what, but he has to make a better showing or he's going to get replaced by Goodwin and or one of these PGs in the draft. I keep thinking about that Erickson guy. Would love to see him at least come over in SL and see how he fares. His catch and release is so fast and so high, it could be a really dangerous weapon for us. Some of those catches are at head height and it never comes down. Very nice form. We need shooting off the bench.

For starters his name is cool AF. Can you imagine every time he was about to come into the game Ryan Cameron saying in a his deep booming voice, "Release the Dragan!" and then playing music from the Mortal Kombat movie. Would be epic.

Is that right that Heurter has 25% ft ?? Otherwise looking good young guns!!!

Yo Spudz glad you're good. Had that happen to me awhile back during some ice On the very tip top bridge Of spaghetti junction, spun Around and almost smashed into the wall. Crazy losing control like that. Mighta pooped a little? anyways I have no great hopes for this one, mostly just watching for Trae and to see if Hunter or cam shows up. Don't care if we win or lose I just want to see signs of improvement and no blow out.

I just want more of these loud ass John Foy commercials during free throws. Gimme more of that type of stuff.

Exactly. This dude gets it. You do it because it's a splash and can hopefully get the attention of other, better players in the future and put us on their map. It also has very little downside and could be a crazy steal of a deal for the production. Could be really fun to watch and get us farther into a modest PO run. And if not, meh, we tried but weren't really aiming to get max players for a dynasty right now anyway. History favors the bold. Do it and then run like you stole something.

Nope. Twasnt me. Too busy for all that with having to keep track of all these chi'rens and such. A burner of @kg01? Ouch, brah. Thought we were like squawk bros. hurts. Right here in my chest.

Aging players with a history a titty tears. Could you imagine that happening again at 39M/yr??? Yikers.

I can't let it go, and I should. But back in the day it was a thing that for real made me cringe.

I love Nique, I hear he is a genuinely good person, but he does wear on me every season. By the ASB I'll be ready to choke him for repeating "that's a bad shot there" or "that was a heat check." Also, when Stinger fills in it's so refreshing because he is so intelligent and articulate, and I actually walk away from each segment feeling like he imparted knowledge to me. I rarely hear Nique reference statistics or anything other than just a bare surface level discussion of how the play was drawn up and supposed to work. Stinger will drop some knowledge bombs regularly, making me go "damn, I didn't see that." Love Nique but I'd go Stinger all day. Dude is solid. Even with his sometimes gross patchy moist head situation. Much love for that guy.

The crazy long 3s worried me at first but it's just by design. It's how he likes to play; it's an (a) intentional trade off of an (often) early shot clock low percentage shot for (b) keeping defenses honest and more open for him to create better passes and shot situations for his teammates since it draws out other defenders as well. Is his % going to improve with time? Sure. You practice making long ass shots for a long ass time and your percentage should increase. Is a 38-footer ever going to be a "high" percentage shot? No. But if it has the impact of opening up movement and passing/driving lanes then it starts to make more sense, especially when your team leads the league in pace. Then a few extra, seemingly stupid, long distance shots from 35-38 feet might pay off. Sacrifice your 3pt % for more scoring and assist opportunities. Not sure exactly how it plays out, but I get it with a guy that has his court vision, so if it helps him find more open guys, then fine. And it's thrilling and fun to watch.

Sounds like you got a porn infection bruh

I thought section 116 was the (un)official Hawksquawk section. Used to be right behind Hawks bench, but seems like they switched it up during the Mavs game.

Josh Smith must have also been deaf, because every game I went to where he jacked up those long twos or ill-advised threes, the entire arena would let out a very audible groan or just straight up shout "No!" But he just kept doing it, and then acted dumbfounded when he was 'Let go.' Had a decent game otherwise, not sure why he insisted on those low percentage shots (especially low for him). Should have stuck to his strengths, might still be in the NBA instead of Bulgaria or China or Lichtenstein or wherever he is now.

If 95% of what someone posts for I don't know, a year?, amounts to various forms of saying "I'm mad, Hawks suck and will suck indefinitely" at some point I think even you would agree that enough is enough. Especially when there is specifically a "Hawks suck and you are mad about it" thread where those posts should go, but instead of confining said posts to the "I'm mad" thread they infect every other thread as well. Standards of decency have been violated. Excessively.

Oh snap! Duh... Good call... Mea culpa
