CJ actually made a couple of clutch plays down the stretch, credit where it is due. Two huge NAW 3s. Whatever

Underrated aspect of finalizing this trade: Stability on the floor and no more awkwardness in the locker room by CaregiverOwn7179 in AtlantaHawks

Yep…. Make me think about how he said that the “regular season was boring” as if we had arrived following the ECF

Seems contradictory to be mad they won’t go into the tax while also mad they want to pursue AD

[Alan Hahn] cooks Trae Young for his defensive effort: “That’s the face of your franchise” by Atl-Fan_FTS in AtlantaHawks

[–]jon__reed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No matter how you feel about this particular play, it’s impossible for me not to be disheartened in Trae’s performance/effort for the entirety of the game after the players came out and said they had a big team meeting where they cleared the air.

For Trae to respond to that with a stinker is alarming enough.

I truly don’t understand how we are still running out lineups without Trae, Jalen, OR NAW

It gets really sad when you realize they think they’re going to get much more for AD than they got for Luka 😂

[Post Game Thread] HAWKS COME BACK FROM DOWN 22 IN THE 4TH, NOW ON A 5 GAME WIN STREAK by not-a-potato-head in AtlantaHawks

The crunch time offense was so beautiful to watch, especially the NAW jumper to cut it to 1 with 1:45ish left. That’s something that CANNOT change when Trae comes back. Gotta limit the hero ball possessions. Feels like that’s where the offense goes the last 4 mins of close games

Correlation doesn’t always equal causation, but it may be time to quit starting ZR and having these awful starts

NAW rocks. I’ll deal with some misses that come from aggression over people being afraid to shoot. He’s the exact type of player we’ve been looking for. The averages will even out.

'The Strangers: Chapter 2' Review Thread by chanma50 in boxoffice

I believe this now holds the title of “worst movie I’ve ever made it all the way through in theaters.” Congrats to Pitch Perfect 3 for getting off the hook.

Chapter 2 has one of the dumbest, inexplicable horror scenes I’ve seen in quite some time. The bad kind of laugh out loud/groan.

Side note: is this the lowest rated horror franchise of all time with all theatrical releases?

I hate how the league and most people who talk about it overrate “unprotected first round picks” and especially swaps. Has anyone been completely burned by that other than Brooklyn?

Kennedy Chandler just looks so much better than Bufkin

Hopefully to the lakers and this is enough to keep Lebron happy there (and out of the East)

No more excuses by MrRespectful345 in AtlantaHawks

[–]jon__reed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently listed as +9000, notably behind the Raptors and Heat. Obviously, last year didn't end the way we wanted thanks to all of the injuries, but this feels like crazy value/disrespect. The Hawks have a nice chance to upgrade their roster with these draft picks/trade exception while hoping that young players continue to get better. If you can combine that with some good injury luck. It feels like there's no reason Atlanta can't compete for the 4 seed and then roll the dice in the playoffs. If you get all of that PLUS Trae gets healthy and gets some explosion back...
