    You're not going to become a Rockets fan are you? Houston actually has some similarities to Atlanta. Warm weather, similar population, fairly diverse, underrated food scene. 

    Don’t forget the balls traffic.

    Huerter and Hunter will start, Baze is gone to open minutes for them and Reddish and Bembry. 

    I think Hill will barely play, perhaps as backup PF if Spellman do not perform. However I do see a role for Crabbe, at least at the beginning as the shooter of the 2nd unit, Bembry canot score too much and I doubt Reddish make an impact on day 1.

    Can Crabbe handle the ball? Idk his game at all, will he fulfill a TP type role?

    Last year should have been co ROY. This season should be co ROY. I fully expect Doncic to win this. The Hawks don't receive national media attention esp. the first three months of last season. It wasn't until Trae really started putting up unreal numbers that you finally saw the Hawks get some kind of attention.

    That should be the metric. Trae actually got us some national attention....should be enough to get ROTY

    Last 40 games of the season (half the f***ing season) stats:

    Trae: 23/5/9 on 44/35/86, 58 TS%, team had a 17-23 record. 2.5 AST/TO ratio

    Luka: 23/9/7 on 42/31/68, 54 TS%, team had a 13-27 record. 1.9 AST/TO ratio.

    Lowe is f***ing stupid. Nuff said. Trae was better for the last 40 games, and on the season, Luka wasn’t significantly better than shit. He was better at rebounding and defense, while scoring slightly more in raw ppg. Trae was better at playmaking (by a wide margin), in between game(floaters), and free throw shooting.

    Assist numbers don’t tell the whole story when it comes to their play making gap. I watched both guys’ entire seasons. While Luka makes nice passes and runs the offense decently, Trae led the league in points assisted at the rim and on corner shots, the most efficient shots in the entire game of basketball. Trae would make “homerun” type passes and plays, where he basically created the entire thing and handed it on a silver platter for the one he’s assisting to. Luka was not like that. His assists, for the most part, did not CREATE two points. Traes did. I find that more valuable than whatever gap they had on rebounding, and almost as valuable as the gap in defense.

    And Trae played 39 of the last 40 games. Luka only played 31 of the last 40.

    I've listened to Zach Lowe long enough to know he doesn't watch Hawks games. Unfortunately he's pretty much the pace setter for NBA national media coverage so yeah....Luka is going to be ROTY but it doesn't mean shit.

    The second CBS sports article in the OP is worth a read. We have the #1 League Pass team going into next season imo. This team is going to make a lot of fun highlight clips next season. I also think the rubber is going to hit the road that our defense is going to catch up to what our offense was after the All star break.

    I haven't been this legit excited about our franchise future in a very long time.

     

    No joke...I'm legit in a way better mood today after the draft. We got mad potential.

    Not sure if this was linked but love the confidence from Schlenk....when asked point blank if the draft could've gone any better, he was basically "Lol nah". Around the 7-8 minute mark. Seems like he is really gaining more confidence as the face of the FO.

    I said close to, but we won 29 games last season. So it would only be 14 games. 

    Yeah....and considering Collins missed the first quarter and really meshed with Trae towards the end....just seems weird to think of us getting near the 40 win mark after we basically tore that shit down 2? offseasons ago.

    PG- Trae

    SG- Huerter

    SF- Cam

    PF- Hunter

    C- Collins

    Prolly won’t be the starting lineup but would love to see it on the floor a lot.

    Last night I could sleep due to anticipation..tonight..excitement 👌

    That would be a crazy fast lineup if we rolled that out. We also might give up 50 pts a quarter. But we might also score 50 a quarter. Super excited about this team, no doubt.

    It's crazy to think that just over 2 years ago we were coming off of a 43-win season with only 3 players on our roster under the age of 25 (Dennis, Prince, and Bembry). We may get close to that win total this season with Collins, Trae, Huerter, Spellman, Hunter, Cam, and Bruno all 22 or younger. 

    Dang.....43 wins? That would be a 20 game turnaround....Trae would need to make a hell of a leap for us to get there. I think we end up at 35-38 range, and one of our picks form this year looks great to form a good young big 3 with J. Collins and Trae.

    It's really sad the team is making such a spectacle out of Vince's 25,000 points when the team just got its brains beat in and is 3-15 on the year with no hope of the losing streak ending anytime soon.

    It was something cool to see at the end of a game that was a write off. Vince dunking on his old team to get to 25,000. It was a fun moment for an NBA icon, there were a lot of Raptors/Vince fans at the game that could cheer for him alongside Hawks fans. 

    I get that you don't like losing, none of us do, but the team wasn't making a spectacle. A legend did something historic against a team that happened to have a lot of his fans there, and it was appropriately celebrated. You can't just completely ignore the context to sit back and rail about the fact that we are not good this season. If the only way you can get enjoyment is with us winning, then you might as well take the year off. We're playing hard, the rookies are developing, and the team is having fun on the way.
