Double win possible for SA tonight with ATL v CHA. CHA win helps them with regard to playoffs while hurting ATL. Let’s go CHA! Unfortunately Brandon Miller is out for a week at least
Yup. They are on THIN ICE when it comes to Trae with no Murray. Murray carried them when Trae missed time and they don’t have a replacement for that now. If Trae misses any sort of significant time, they are going to be in a lot of trouble it seems.

brandon miller out tho....hope salun pops off tonight
flashback to last year's season opener where Charlotte beat Atlanta and we were all super excited about it
Yup lol - still hate watching ATL all year and cheering for CHA really hardflashback to last year's season opener where Charlotte beat Atlanta and we were all super excited about it
Hopefully Miller's injury is very brief and doesn't set him back, because obviously he's key to CHA but also because I have quite a bit invested in his rookie cards
lol another win. unbeaten yet
trae young played 41 min.They want the playoffs bad.
Dang could easily be two losses for Hawks they won again but first game Trae had to play 37 minutes and today he played 40 minutes I don’t know if he can continue to play that much?
Maybe they showcasing him for a trade?
After watching last night it’s all good. We will easily be a lottery team with our own pick.
Damn...this one hurts double...But , I refuse getting lost again in all those ATL, CHA, CHI (and for that matter Clippers) games. It's just to much to take.
Let's just assume that the ATL pick won't get us a top 5 pick...but still might get us someone usefull.
Spurs fans so used to Pop babying and underplaying his guys that minds are getting blown by a star player playing more than 29 minutes in order to win
And he's averaged 35 minutes and change the last 3 seasons, is notorious for only playing hard on offense, and just turned 26. Young guys can play minutes.
Tim Duncan played 39 minutes a game his first 6 years, sometimes stars play
If the ATL 25 and 27 picks end up being middling, it is what it is... no big deal. The real fail will be if the 26 swap fails to convey because we still suck.
Trae with 38 and 10. Did we make a mistake not trading for him?
Rsacher with 5 pts 1 blk
Trae and Ball were both wildly productive. But ball was turnover prone and fouled out after 29 minutes. Trae played 41.
Charlotte also missing 2 starters continues to hurt them
The cost for Trae was too high and he simply isn’t the type of player this organization could manage IMO.
Trae has done nothing outrageous that we cant handle.Nothing wrong with speaking up and wanting a good team to compete.
Sometimes you gotta do it thru the media to put pressure on the front office to step up.Wont be supprised if victor does this as well
if we still have a roster the next couple of years.
Trae is off to a great start - getting to the line a TON too. We will see if he can continue this level but so far so good for them but they have not played anyone that good yet either.
best case scenario. Hawks run Trae into the ground and get him injured early.
Yeah well I hope that PATFO and Wemby’s relationship gets to the point of speaking behind closed doors about actually winning.
What I meant about Trae wasn’t a knock on his character but his freestyle play of basketball. Pop has enough on his hands having to manage Wemby lol.
Atlanta played two of the very worst teams in the league and barely squeaked by. I know people here love Lamelo Ball for some reason, but other than dropping shots he was awful. Normally he hits about 33% from three and he's hot right now. But he sucks bad. Ten turnovers, fouled out. Now he's already sitting out. Just isn't a player.
Right now I just don't see much ceiling for this Hawks team. Young has looked pretty good against two awful teams. The rest of the roster has some nice developing pieces in Jalen Johnson and Dyson Daniels, but they look more like utility guys. The rest are aging players like Bogdanovic and Capela. And I really think Risacher should have been picked outside the lottery. Maybe that changes, and if he can hit shots he'll not be a bad player, but as a #1? No.
So... I see a year capping at mediocre for them at best. Trae has to carry a ton of weight and he's just not good enough to do it. He's not superstar level and that's what this team with this roster needs.
10.5 underdogs against OKC. Hawks should their first loss today.
Hopefully it kickstarts a 33 game losing streak!
Yeah, didn't know if he would still be a foul scamming genius after the reffing adjustments last year. He did miss the changes due to injury so maybe he has immunity
Need OKC to close them out because they get Wash two in a row next games so looking at a 4-1 start unfortunately
