I am counting on the basketball Gods to bless us one more time like when we got Timmy while we still had David Robinson.
This is the injury report of a tanking team, except ATL can't tank... yet, here we are. Perhaps the basketball gods will smile upon us once again.

Spurs need to add a future 20+ a night scorer 2nd star out of this draft with either the Atlanta pick or their own pick. This is the draft 2025 to get that type of player.
The only one of those injuries that really matters is Bogdan, he was always a big plus in their key lineups
Daniels is their only player resembling a perimeter defender. Without him a competent team would easily score 130 on them. Problem is Washington in particular aren’t that but we can hope.
Daniels is listed as day-to-day, Bogdan is to be re-evaluated in 4 weeks, that's where the difference is
Wow if Daniels is out that really changes things. They need him back.
I'm just glad we have Atlanta's pick no matter what they do. Where it lands and what we do with it is another conversation. Just hope we don't trade it for a 2032 future first and a 2nd round, pick.
Atlanta looks pretty bad so far despite their record. I’d be really surprised if they can win more than 37 games. Well, that’d still be better than the spurs but you know what I mean. They are really one injury away (Tre, Jalen or dyson) away from a 25 win team. The roster has way too many holes as the offence is over reliant on Tre, and the defence on dyson. Jalen is there to be the secondary guy on both o and d. The rest of the roster is a bunch of very limited role players and don’t seem to mesh well. Oh wait, that’s like the spurs ….
Anyways, Charlotte pick will not convey. I have very little faith in a lamelo led team. He is an instagram baller to the core. All highlights and no actual winning basketball. Young mother killer is a decent player but he’s injured quite a bit. Besides the ball is ALWAYS in balls hands, so Brandon Killer is limited in that setup. Wife beater can rot in .
Chicago pick is looking good. I think it will thread the needle like the raptors pick from last year. If it does I hope it’s punted to 20132 for an unprotected swap and a too 1 protected again. That would be gold.
would be really nice if the wizards can steal a second straight win against the banged up hawks. hawks have controlled the game. wizards went on a nice run between coulibaly and poole to bring the lead down to 5, but Trae has been too good. lead back up to 10, nearly halftime. kispert has missed open look after open look for the wiz
poole is actually off to a blistering start this season. wonder if he matured some after a humbling season last year
wizards now up 10 in the 4th... pulling away?
Another L by Hawks one small step to a top 5 pick - The other thing Trae is playing a lot of minutes I think he is averaging 38 minutes so will see how long he keeps that going
Atlanta can't handle this Washington team, who look pretty fun with their three rookies and Coulibaly. Organized defense and some good team chemistry. Can't say the same for Atlanta, which seems like they're going through the motions.
I don't think Dyson Daniels would have affected this outcome much. Things could get pretty bad for Atlanta.
Hope came through. Hawks losing twice to the Wizards is huge. Washington is one of the teams thought to be below the Hawks. Hopefully DC can keep it up.
Is Minixx even suited up?
Cannot believe with how well Trae been playing and their 2-0 start that they dropped 3 in a row including B2B to Washington. CHA looks compe ive and CHI won another game tonight too. Great night outside of SA sucking.
Trae never elevates his team, and they’ve been trending downward for four seasons. His empty calories mean nothing in the long haul.
Hawks showed good things but they just have too many injuries right now. Missing De'Andre Hunter, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Dyson Daniels and Kobe Bufkin is a lot
They really have no backup PG. Daniels starts at the 2, and is even less of a PG than Dejounte. If Trae goes down, we’re getting a top 4 pick.
seems like he elevates them
They’re barely treading water over the past 3 years. He isn’t elevating them, but his absence would be like throwing a cinder block at the team treading water. Leading your team to the play in isn’t elevating them when they were better a few years ago. He’s de-elevating them.seems like he elevates them
He's not good enough to be the first option on a legit playoff team, but I think your'e being too harsh.
Nuggets being the best example. The best player in the league has to play 40+ minutes and put up outworldly numbers for them to beat lottery teams in OT.
Would you say that Hawks have a better supporting cast than the Nuggets?
Were you calling Luka an empty calories player while Mavs struggled?
Trae isn't in the same set of players as Luka and Joker. Not even close.
Did I say he was? Read again.
I was just trying to point out that there's only so much one player can do in a 5v5 game.
When Hawks had a good roster, he got them to ECF.
Is he worth a supermax? Not even close, not many players are.
But he's definitely an all-star level player.
Trae is not starting out, so the comparison to young Luka isn’t valid. He’s also not been to the Mountain like Jokic has, so his slide is not the same, and yes, some of the ATL pieces are nice and better than some of the DEN pieces. Anyone heard the name Christian Braun lately? His game kind of tanked when he had to play a larger role.
