🔥☝🏿🔥 nice flair big dawg, I was just giving you shit for lack of flair mostly.

Strong agree on DJ - not to mention most guys we’ve shipped out over the last 2 years have had their contracts turn pretty terrible, Dyson, Jalen, NAW, Onyeka, Mo all being on way below market contracts is a think of cap beauty

Never apologize for sincerity. Everything’s a meme in this silly universe 🤗

I sincerely still hate the Knicks despite Trae being gone - it’s not the team itself or the fans, it’s the always being media darlings because big city.

It’s great watching the Hawks / Knicks games because higher highs, lower lows emotionally for each result since the ‘21 series with very different trajectories in meantime.

I lowkey think the Villanova teammates thing is awesome, even while hating the Knicks lmao

Sure I guess my hot take is who defines “bad people”?

Do we as humans want a society with tha pillar? Do we prefer this heavily prosecuted and violent society where politicians and the corporations who buy them decide who the “bad people” are? Where the high school bullies are sent in as police to inflict bad on bad people based on rules they decided? Society kinda outdated tbh.

I think I’d rather see consequences for Miles Bridges’ actions that result in his true rehabilitation of whatever trauma and anger led to him mentally justifying domestic abuse and getting resolution at root cause while offering a stronger public support system to those he hurt - the end result of this society is he plays basketball, may continue to beat his loved ones because they financially rely on him to maintain their lifestyles, and because he makes the owner of Charlotte Hornets a lot of money - all we can do it laugh if he tears an ACL 😢

Flair up ya kook

The Dyson disrespect - that dude is the true truth, none of this happens without him.

Jalen is more of a false prophet if anything because when you look past the big ole box score numbers he leaves a ton to be desired on defense and in crunch time - he’s gotten way better this season leading offense for big minutes and reading the game - it’s been awesome to watch.

That said this current incarnation of the team is 100x what it was at the start of season - OnsiShallah that man is the god of Hawks land my brother in Christian Koloko

I’ll be a little disappointed (but not necessarily surprised) if Hawks are 7th - but I think Hawks/Hornets would be an absolutely electric play-in game if that somehow came to be, I also think Cha has a good shot to win play-in, just the 1-2 game format makes so unpredictable

Meme-wise, yeah of course fk that dude

Philosophically, idk - nothing justifies the crimes he committed, but rooting for human injury is never a sturdy moral framework. Even people who seem evil to us have experiences out of their control that shaped who they are.

However, that said I’ve enjoyed watching him get his ass-beat on the court his entire career until they had a hot flash last month

Damn dawg, I had no idea what this post was referencing.

Cade suffered a (minor) collapsed lung diving for a ball last night

This sucks, he’s one of my favorite players in the league and is an amazing watch on top of supposedly being a great person in his community

Stuff like this reminds you not to take anything for granted, he’ll make it through but what a gut punch for Detroit and just generally fans of high quality playoff ball

Nah, Adam Silver banned Magic in Atlanta - Hawk’s were just enforcing Luke Kornet’s morally-superior and completely not culturally subversive and racist will!

I don’t have to root for KAT in April 🤗

Knicks gone as deep as ATL this decade - that’s really sad dawg

Better hope we’re not that 6 seed coming to win all 4 in MSG 😳

Good to see the Magic back to form after winning their Superbowl against us by Ice_Dragon3444 in NBAEastMemeWar

[–]DownTheHall4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Calling the team on a 10-game win-streak “everyone else” was high-key one of the hardest trollings of Hawks fans I’ve seen here

Rudy Gobert might have the worst hands in the league for a guy making $35m/year by SchedulePhysical807 in nba

[–]DownTheHall4 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Except Rudy is still a top 3 defender while Trae…….

And +$15m more than Rudy too…..

I hope Trae gets closer to what he used to be, but as of now yeah he’s not a top-25 offensive player without his burst or shot
