  1. Celtics are experiencing death by middy. DJ is sautéing these guys.
  2. Hawks looked a little tired in the 4th. Just hold on for five more minutes.
  3. Please just get one more stop. Just one.
  4. I gotta call it what it is. A choke. Still time to make it up though.
  5. Trading DJ for what was offered during the deadline would've been a travesty. Do NOT give him away!!!!
  6. I feel bad for Scoot. He looks like he lost his mojo. He looked like a can't miss prospect with the Ignite. Having a Trae Young like rookie year at PG isn't normal though. He just needs time.
  7. Windler is kind of impressive so far.
  8. Kinda wanting to see Scoot have a good game even if they get blown out.
  9. I'm willing to bet most GMs would do whatever it takes to add an NBA Championship to their resume'. If you have a guy that can get you a Championship, you build around him. The Hawks have the advantage of having done it before with immediate results.
  10. So, we have a player on the roster that can take this team to the Finals with the right pieces around him, but it's not worth it because that player happens to be Trae Young??? What? The Hawks were a Trae ankle injury away from being in the Finals. Milwaukee had no answer for him, and the Suns certainly would have had no answer for him.
  11. You build with a guy like DJ, but you build around Trae. The Hawks did it in '20-'21 and the results were immediate. The Hawks were not a super team by any means. Heck, the guys they put around him weren't even All Stars. There's no reason that can't be duplicated. For some reason, management completely abandoned what worked.
  12. Fixed. Just say that. You've been hinting at it nonstop every time the Hawks win a game without Trae. Just let it out man. And no, I'd still much rather keep Trae. My memory isn't that short. I love DJ but he isn't on Trae Young's level. The Hawks saw enough from Trae in year two to at least attempt to build a team around him. Pop didn't even consider doing the same with DJ, even after his All Star season. Again, that's not a knock on DJ, but there's no question who I'd build a team around.
  13. Nique made a great point about how Vit sparked the comeback. He's a steal if he can consistently knock down shots. He's the type of glue guy every decent team needs off the bench. Very versatile game.
  14. The Hawks are a VERY dangerous team. The Clippers AND the Celtics while being decimated by injuries? Nobody wants to see these guys at full strength in the Play In or the Playoffs. This is the BEST win of the season and well earned.
  15. The game has REALLY slowed down. Not liking the pace.
  16. The Hawks are playing with an edge. I'd love to see that be rewarded with a win.
  17. All he was missing was the jumper.
