Over and over I tried to tell people baby Kawhi and baby PG13 was a fan delusion.  I honestly thought Hunter was way better than Cam, but now I can’t see anything he does well. We could afford to miss on one of them, but missing on both is killing us.  
Now we might have to give up a few first rounders to bring in a real player. 

Not only that, we gave up another pick also.. And then fk around and traded up again for Bruno.. smdh

Schlenked....

I dont think Schlenk nec fked up the draft, I think Hunter just ended up not being able to stay healthy - but he was a good bet to workout.  not sure about OO was hoping for more from him this year.  Collins at 19 worked out pretty well.  Theres just not enough star players in the NBA really

Hunter was bland as hell at UVA. He just hit a few clutch shots from time to time.. His defense was always overrated imo..His feet are too slow..They played good team defense.

LP worked him out, and thought the world of him somehow.. I do remember that...

No wonder he only worked out for us.. smh

Some of Nate’s choices are questionable.Keeping players (DeAndre and others) that are having off nights in games without taking them out or making adjustments is odd.

Man, it's good to see you.  We thought you'd forgotten your password when we didn't hear from you after those last few wins.

I’m not that mad at Schlenk.  GMs are gonna miss.  You need one big draft hit like Trae.  Collins is a boost at 19 because he plays like a lottery pick.  
This season was a wake up to anyone who believed, “Every Hawks pick will be a star!  Homegrown 100% roster is the way.”  Nearly every championship roster trades for a central piece.  
We have to use our resources to get the best talent in the league or die trying.

Maybe that's why I'm not so hot on Hunter.   I watched some of those Slow paced games at UVA and said.. this is worst than Princeton.  He just seems like a technician but not a guy who can dominate a game.  I agree with Supes, he was a reach but I wonder if he wanted us for the Pace or the Money?

 

[Gray Mule]

Hawks are supposed to lose when JJ plays.  He never left the bench last night and we lost.  What happened? 

Nate is old and "set in his ways" and refuses to change.  If that's the five on the floor that he planned to be on the floor last week, he refuses to change.  Anything.  Ever.

Thanks to a hot streak late in this season, Hawks are guaranteed to end up over .500 and be in the play in.  One more game, then the embarrassment of the next games, win or lose.

Trae caused us this game tonight. When he came in to close the game we didn't need hero Trae. We needed the floor general Trae. 

They went away from getting the ball to Bogi, who had the hot hand.

This team is mid and that's why they are going to be 42-40. They actually out produced late in the season but too little, too late. That said, Travis gotta raise that floor. Gotta get impact players in Atlanta.

     So Supes you are saying we lose to Houston tomorrow?  It wouldn't surprise me if it happened.  They almost beat the Raptors last night.

43-39, I thought Miami was lost 40

[JeffS17]

Houston is no free win... they're locked for the best lottery odds and they actually play well for a 20 win team.  Let's not forget we got cooked by Eric Gordon at home in the middle of that 10 game home losing streak.

7 straight games with 3 or less turnovers for Trae.. pretty insane for a guy with his kind of usagea

NBA has the mvp race as :

1. Jokic

2. Giannis

3. Embiid

4. Tatum

5. Booker.

and then this :

The Next Five:

6. Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks (Last week’s ranking: No. 5)
7. DeMar DeRozan, Chicago Bulls (Last week’s ranking: No. 
8. Ja Morant, Memphis Grizzlies (Last week’s ranking: No. 6)
9. Kevin Durant, Brooklyn Nets (Last week’s ranking: No. 9)
10. Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota Timberwolves (Last week’s ranking: No. 10)

And five more (listed alphabetically): Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors; LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers; Donovan Mitchell, Utah Jazz; Chris Paul, Phoenix Suns; Trae Young, Atlanta Hawks.

 

Now I'll concede the top 4, maybe even Booker.   Trae should be 5 or 6.  I don't see any argument at this point for 6-10 over Trae.   Certainly not Ja.

Most voters thought Trae would bust in the NBA. He hurt their feelings.. lol

I continue to post my thoughts on Gallo and wait for someone to post "Yeah, but "- - and so far, no one has!

 Gallo is a matchup nightmare for a lot of teams... his Skillset complement Trae's Skillset a lot...

I wish he was a few years younger.. lol

Knicks found out that a win would help us out and they started tanking...

I was hoping the Bulls would beat Boston too, so the Heat would rest play

Trae was 3-10 like 2 minutes ago. That Hawks run was all him. That was MVP level play.

Now its Dre's turn.. lol

 

After win over Nets..

Wow Kevin Huerter.

Why did you pick THIS GAME to miss damn near every open 3.

 

That shot looked like a Solo 3.

Didnt even matter.. Trae on another level right now..

Helluva win...

So Dre can rebound when he wants too I guess? lol

Great win. Huge win.

Keep climbing. I want 7th. Cleveland  is going to drop at least 2 more games. 

We have to keep up the pressure.

Why the hell not.. lol

If Trae doesnt make ALL NBA team this year, we should protest for real.. 

I cant stand Channing Frye btw.. smdh

Kevin played great defense on Kyrie too. I don't mind if he's missing and playing good defense.

Yeah it allowed Dre to hit the boards not having to chase guys around the perimeter...10 boards has to be close to a record for him... lol

We lost but I’m not mad. They can’t stop Trae. Hoping we are in Miami next weekend. We can beat this overrated team.

Worst, most beatable 1-seed since.... uh, a certain 1-seed near and dear to our hearts.
