Yesss.....

Would like to see our current Hawks sporting the Pac uniforms.  Immediately don't like Nique in the triangles.

Let’s not become the Sunkings. We need the playoffs back fast.

Has anybody done a wellness check on @Sothron.   Check in, bro.

Hope you're doing well, my sweet prince.

I'm here. I got randomly reassigned to another department at work and have to immediately learn a completely new job to "help out" for an undetermined amount of time. The best part? They condensed a normal three to four month training period to two weeks. Fun times.

They ask for more from you because you can handle it, saphron.  Think of it as a compliment.

Good to hear from you.  And tell Tony and Sal to use more concrete next time they gotta dump a bod.. I mean, roll of carpet.

(Yeah, I don't know what spud's doing but I'm just going with it.)

[Sothron]

I do appreciate you guys and gal thinking about me and Mrs. Sothron. We're doing fine. We are both blessed to work for the Duck and to still have jobs and  our health with everything going on. I'm not happy with them moving me around but I'll take that over unemployment any day of the week.

It might sound silly but I pray for you guys and hope everyone is doing ok.

The more prayers the better in these times.  We all need to look out for each other.   Glad all is well.

Glad you are well @Sothron.

I see @Gray Mule pop in every now and then.

Wait, does it make a difference if the only reason we were thinking of you is to make fun of you? 

Agree though it's a blessing to still be able to work through all this.  Every time I get mad at the kg's making noise in the background of my zoom meetings, I remember I'm fortunate to still be having zoom meetings in the first place.

Most Improved for 2020/21 Season.

Atlanta Hawks

At 20-47, the Atlanta Hawks boasted the NBA’s fourth-worst record when the season went on hiatus. But there’s reason to believe they could be back in the playoff mix as early as next year.

It starts with All-Star point guard Trae Young, who has quickly cemented himself as one of the league’s most promising young players. He ranked fourth in points per game (29.6) and second in assists (9.3) while flashing nearly unlimited shooting range and dazzling passing vision. His defense remains a significant concern — he is 503rd out of 503 players in ESPN’s Defensive Real Plus-Minus — but the Hawks have invested in defenders elsewhere to help account for Young’s deficiencies on that end of the floor.

Atlanta added two such wing defenders in De’Andre Hunter and Cam Reddish with the Nos. 4 and 10 picks, respectively, in the 2019 draft. Hunter won’t light up scoreboards most nights, but his defensive versatilitymakes him an ideal plug-and-play 3-and-D weapon alongside Young. Meanwhile, Reddish got off to a slow start as a rookie, but he began flashing the upside that made him a highly ranked recruit as the season progressed.

In the frontcourt, the Hawks have a nightly 20-10 threat in 22-year-old big man John Collins, who also buried 1.4 triples per game at a career-high 40.1 percent clip this season. Next year, he’ll play alongside trade-deadline acquisition Clint Capela, who should help shore up the Hawks’ interior defense while serving as a steady pick-and-roll partner with Young on offense.

Depending on how the lottery shakes out, the Hawks could have another top-five pick to bring into the fold this offseason as well. They’re also projected to have the league’s most salary-cap space, which they could either spend on free-agent additions or use to acquire additional assets by taking on unwanted contracts from other teams.

Having Young, Hunter, Reddish, Collins, Capela and Kevin Huerter alone gives the Hawks one of the league’s top young cores. Throw in another mid-to-high lottery pick and the potential for significant upgrades in free agency, and it’s easy to imagine the Hawks flirting with 40-plus wins in 2020-21.
