This is a really really good article about our Hawks. The entire article isn't about the Hawks, our part starts about 2/5th of the way down. Quite a few things I've never seen before.

Definitely a very good article. I think real evidence of this recently, is with Pero now using his infamous pump fake to actually drive to the basket now. The "vitamins" have made marginal role players into useful assets.

That was definitely excellent and a lot of stuff that I hadn't heard before.

"You can't kiss his ass," Atkinson said. "He won't let you. He wants, he told me, 'I want more. Disagree with me more. Tell me what we're doing more.' I think he coaxes it from us. And that's not comfortable. It's uncomfortable. I also tell him when he's doing things great. But I'm not afraid."

 

Love that.  Good to see that there are some people out there that want to be journalist.
