A handsome dude from Atlanta,GA that loves talking sports 🏀🏈⚾️ and eats Fried Catfish, Chicken Tenders & Oxtails!
Also must said: Jalen Johnson regressing on defense like this is extremely disappointing.

I guess it shows this is what happens when you make an real offensive jump it takes away from your defensive focus.

Jalen has like 4-5 mental lapses defensively every game

I still wanna keep Trae. Theres still plenty of time left for this season to turn around. Hell, they're only 3 games out of 4th in the East.

But man the results gotta matter too. Even with not having Centers/Size in the frontcourt, you cant be blowing games to teams like the Bulls & Heat.

I don’t think Trae is the *problem* but it’s like a puzzle & with Trae if one part of the puzzle isn’t right it all just collapses around him & he’s not good enough to fill in the gaps
December 27, 2025 at 5:02 AM
On the other hand: So much has to go right just to field a winning team with Trae, to the point Im starting to question whether it’s worth it anymore & the answer just *might* be no.
December 27, 2025 at 5:01 AM
Here’s kinda where I’m at with the Hawks & with Trae:

On one hand: I still think this season can turn around if ATL can turn Porzingis/Kennard + a small asset or 2 into a competent Center/Wing upgrade at the deadline.

again the Cavs wish they were the 2010s Hawks. that team got to the ECF, then won 48 games and got back to the second round. nothing anyone could do with prime Godzilla-mixed-with-King-Kong LeBron in the playoffs

Somewhere someone is watching the Atlanta Falcons for the first time and thinks Kyle Pitts is a touchdown machine

I'm not interested in trading Jalen or the Pels pick for a 2-3 year run. Only to have limited assets later on.

I want a have a 7-10 year run. I want to be where OKC & Boston have been & the Hawks are perfectly set up to become the next version of that.

Hes already dealt with 2 different lower body injuries in 3 weeks. He has to tendency to get nicked up. Only played 70 or more games once in 6 seasons.
December 10, 2025 at 6:08 PM
The Bucks would ask for either Jalen, the Pels 26 1st or both. I'm not parting with either

Jalen Johnson is avging 23/10/8 on elite efficiency at 23 years old while making $30M a season. Hes playing at an All NBA Level while still having more room to grow. I'm not giving that up.
December 10, 2025 at 6:07 PM
A few Hawks thoughts:

I have no interest in a Giannis trade. For a few reasons.
December 10, 2025 at 6:06 PM
And lastly: If the Hawks luck into AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson via that Pelicans pick. It would be the greatest day in Atlanta Hawks history. AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson to go along with Jalen, Dyson, NAW, Onyeka, Risacher & Trae would win an NBA Championship.
November 21, 2025 at 3:20 PM
Im concerned about Dyson's offense. Hes passing up 3s and the few times he takes 3s, hes missing them badly. Hes getting stripped on his drives too & earlier in the year he couldnt make a layup. He's become an offensive liability
November 21, 2025 at 3:19 PM
Onyeka is the best Center on the team. Him all of a sudden becoming an elite stretch big has been an awesome development. Hes still a really good finisher & passer. Liked hat ive seen from defnsively for the most part despite being a tad undersized. He still has awesome chemistry with Jalen.
November 21, 2025 at 3:19 PM
I did not see this offensive jump from NAW coming at all. Dude is avg 19/3/3 on 47/35/85 with a 60%TS. Add that along with what hes done defensively. He's been incredible. Best Free Agent signing since Paul Millsap
November 21, 2025 at 3:17 PM
Jalen's offensive growth has been awesome. He's getting to the paint at will, He's al ot more comfortable shooting the ball & even off the dribble at times. He's moving different. His defensive inconsistency is frustrating at times but he absolutely should be an All Star.
November 21, 2025 at 3:17 PM
i've been a Quin defender & I still am but the Vit/Kennard/Keaton lineups he throws out every game are driving me insane. Get rid of them please.
November 21, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Some Hawks Thoughts:

No, the Hawks aren't better w/out Trae. Better defensively? sure but offensively they still have stretches where they struggle scoring in the halfcourt & they cough up the ball because nobody else can dribble under pressure and most of those issues have shown up late in games.
November 21, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Nothing will change with the Falcons until Arthur Blank sells the team.

He has lost his way. He keeps hiring bad GMs who cant bring in talent & loser head coaches.

Arthur Blank is the problem!
November 17, 2025 at 12:24 AM
And even then it took him 5 years to build a good defense. Terry whiffed on Kirk & maybe Penix. Drafting Pitts over Chase, Sewell & others, His drafts outside of the 1st round have been bad.

Terry Fontenot has done significantly more bad than good as the GM
November 12, 2025 at 2:10 PM
The reality for the Falcons:

The defense has been much better than I expected & Terry deserves some credit for hitting on some defensive talent over his last 2 drafts. But it also doesn't take away from most of hi miscues over the years.
November 12, 2025 at 2:06 PM
Not a lie told
How Terry Fontenot has fans is beyond me.

5 seasons. In that span, we've cycled through 2 HCs, 6 coordinators, 6 QBs, and the team is stagnent winning 7 games every year

He's built a mid roster that good coaching would see win 9 games and convinced people good coaching would see it win 12 instead

I hated that shit. I cant tell you how annoyed I became at that nonsense.

"You can get more for Trae" "DeJounte is more of a 2way player" 😂😂😂
The entire NBA media tried to tank the Hawks future by trying to gaslight us into thinking Dejounte Murray was better than Trae and we needed to trade Trae
