Hawks use it second most to Utah.  
 

We’ve seen that Utah core flame out in the playoffs a few years now.  This attack should pick up steam with Bogi back and obviously the Trae and John PNR fuels the offense but do y’all like the heavy reliance?  Playoff-level teams will rotate well and force mediocre ball handlers up against the baseline to make poor decisions and passes with decent frequency knowing what’s coming.  Does it compromise the already poor transition defense?
