Again...i don't trust TS's timelines anymore, lol - not after the Dunn will play on the West coast trip, he was out another month. Lol

I think it's safe to say TS does not have veto power over the medical staff.

Shaq/Lebron/MJ level's of dominance so far in this series. 

Ok but I’m really starting to hate dude. He’s a fakie lil whiner. I don’t love 7 footers who are award winning actors and floppers. He has 79 points in 2 games, let’s see if we can adjust a bit ourselves and get him rattled.

And he shouldn't. That's how guys careers end early if the ownership group forces players to play against the advice of the healthcare experts.

Yes, that happened all the time in the 80s,  90s, 00s. Not as much anymore though

Hunter - Gone this year.  Now, we can all stop asking, "When will he return?"

Now:  Cam Reddish is working out now.  When will he return?

See.  We keep asking, just change names and go on.

GO ATL HAWKS!

Maybe Dunn is available - he isn't on the list.

Cam can be our Thybulle. Just play defense, dont even worry about offense.

Lack of wing defense in the 3rd and 4th quarters destroyed the Hawks' chances of stealing Game 2. Even with all of the dumb fouls and turnovers the Hawks still were right there. There's no way Milton scores 14 points in 14 minutes if Hunter or Cam was in the game. I don't care if he's restricted to 10-15 minutes, if Cam can play any semblance of the defense he's capable of playing, get him out there.

Or maybe they just forgot about him.

Dunn would help us against Seth Curry

If he had some pt i would start him over Solo.  I would also consider Snell to start instead ... his d is just as good and you can't play off him since he was +500 from 3 during the season.

The issue is, his defense hasn't been good at all in Atlanta but if we had Chicago Dunn. This would be a no brainer

You are right there, but with the intensity increased in the playoffs you could see some glimpses of his former self. With us playing at home, give him 5 minutes and see what happens.

I don't think we are going to see him, that ship has sailed.

Im convinced that they are intentionally holding him out and there are no plans to bring him back this season even if cleared during the playoffs.

I think they are (re)focusing on his long term development which is why they implied the next time we see him will be at Summer League.

I think the current iteration of the '21 Hawks under Nate McMillan does not include Cam Reddish, for better or worse. 

Once we make roster decisions in the offseason and part ways with a number of the wings, I think he will become a priority again.

i think they fear having him play under the playoff pressure and getting his confidence bruised even more. 

Thats just my opinion fwiw

I suspect you're right. It feel like the Hawks have been intentionally slow walking Cam's return, probably not wanting his return to occur during the pressure cooker of the playoffs. But if we we're to get past Philly somehow, and end up playing in the conference finals, the organization would be doing the team an enormous disservice by not playing our best wing defender. Once you're in ECF, you're have a legit shot to win a championship. All that developmental stuff goes out that window, it has to be all hands on deck. Cam's ability to guard a Middleton or a Durant has to be utilized.
