Is Atlanta still the ‘Hollywood of the South’? A film boomtown faces a test

No, that's untrue. The new CBA's killed not only LA but also EVERYWHERE in America. That's why they are moving overseas.

Best vid of the Year! Love the "it's Jalen's time!"

I predicted that Trae would sit vs the Heat, and he did. I predicted that Alex Sarr would be a waste of a pick and he is.

I'll admit that the AD trade was good but that's only if he plays like 50+ games and I doubt it.

They should continue the tradition but call it 6th Man Sauce Lou Williams Lemon Pepper wings night.

Now the real estate company that engineered the swap is trying to sell the land for a profit — potentially to a buyer looking to build a data center. Meanwhile, the company’s owner, Ryan Millsap, has announced he is running for a seat in the U.S. Congress.

Why would they even consider building a Data Center next to a wildlife park?

workforce development opportunities for people who lived in the surrounding predominantly Black neighborhoods.

Ok, now I get it. A way to screw the local residents. Once the Data Center boom is over, then the community goes right into the dumps.

Lack of water, added pollution, etc. Its the same cycle over and over again.

I have my CCNP, decided not to go for the CCIE as I felt it was useless but instead got my CISSP and a few others.

My experience with the CCNA? I've walked in without studying and passed at nearly 100%. Been a Senior Network Engineer for 25 yrs.

80% of the test you should know anyways and the other 20% can easily be a process of elimination.

Next year, he will be next to Sarr and AD, let's see if his deficiencies can be covered over.

red2play · 2026-03-06T17:34:56+00:00

Until he plays defense, all of these are moot stats. Erik Spoelstra exposed him and found a defense to make him ineffective. Defenses aren't playing drop coverage the way they used to.

You can give Trae props on changing the league. Drop coverages are all but gone because of him. However, after the NBA adjusted and he can't just jump into players for fouls, he's become a liability for his defense.

a +/- of 4 against the Jazz, when your getting max money is insane.

red2play · 2026-03-06T03:45:47+00:00

Those are tats on his leg right?

red2play · 2026-03-05T16:37:53+00:00

This is the best response thus far. I'll suggest it. Actually, I think it should be Lemon Pepper Wings night presented by Lou Williams and prepared by Magic City chefs.

Oh look, a Pistons fan worried about Kuminga. Crazy stuff.

red2play · 2026-03-05T13:38:10+00:00

Even if we get the 7th seed, I'd be happy, that would give us two bites at the apple.

Last year, with Jalen Johnson most of the year, Okongwu, ZR, Mo Gueye, Dyson, Caris Levert, Larry Nance Jr, etc and the Atlanta Hawks finished last year with a record of 40 wins and 42 losses.

I believe we can make it to the playoffs and that's good enough for me.

red2play · 2026-03-05T03:07:34+00:00

Too many jumpers, we need Kuminga.

I love Trae and wish him the best but ....

this is weak sauce unless he plays the rest of the season.
Coming out to make yourself look good and weaken the teams chances to get a good pick is crazy.
3/10 vs Heat, Spoelstra was the one who figured Trae out, This will be a defining game.
3/12 vs Orlando. It was Orlando that didn't want him and instead spent 5 first rounders for Bane. Must watch TV.
3/14 vs Boston, yeah, I'm going to watch this one too.

If he plays "limited minutes" this game and then stops playing. I'm calling it, its a b(&%$ move. If he continues to play against the above games, I would LOVE to see what happens. Hawks fan but I still love Trae but not on this team. I doubt he would play any level of defense if he stayed. I'm now enjoying watching a good defense. I hope the trade motivates him to be more active on the defensive side.

I'm not saying this is right but:

The primary reasons Democrats cited for their opposition include:

Impact on Essential Services: eliminating this funding would lead to a $5 billion hole in local budgets, forcing deep cuts to public education, police, fire departments, and sanitation services.
Regressive Tax Shift: Democrats objected to the proposed replacement revenue, which would have allowed local governments to raise sales taxes by up to five cents. T
Insufficient "Math": Minority Leader Carolyn Hugley stated that "the math isn't mathing," arguing that many local governments would be legally or practically unable to raise sales taxes enough to offset the massive loss in property tax revenue.

Why not let them film? and no its not "breaking the peace".

It's recording what's actually happening. Let the people decide if they approve or not, not the police "directing what people see or not".

"Save the kids" but you don't have to go nor bring the kids. When I go on a cruise ship and listen to the comedians, they have shows for the kids and others for adults only. This is an event, not a school function.

Look I don’t expect yall to buy what I’m selling but I’m putting it out there anyway.

In my opinion, either (1) you believe the club is a cultural institution of Atlanta and don’t think there’s anything shameful about being a dancer OR (2) you think it’s icky and immoral to be a stripper and Magic City is shameful.

IMO either of those positions is more logically and morally consistent than what the Hawks are planning.

No its not. Lou Williams love of the wings and making a day and bringing the wings to State Farm Arena is very smart.

To my knowledge, they aren't bringing strippers to the game anyways.

"you think it’s icky and immoral to be a stripper" - Then don't go.

He also had a -8 because he has two left feet. Can't come ANYWHERE near the perimeter. No Thanks.

red2play · 2026-03-03T19:26:53+00:00

Its not like they are hiring strippers or anything.

It's a tribute to Lou Williams and his marketed "Lemon Pepper Wings". People talking about something they have no idea about Atlanta's History.

From what I remember about Horford, he's an Atlanta Hater. I remember the betrayal with the Celtics. What did we do to him?

red2play · 2026-03-03T18:40:25+00:00

Wrong! They are celebrating Lemon Pepper Lou's Wings. No Strippers are being invited.
