Hey! A trade I wouldn’t mind at all… depending on what we would give up.

Quin is running an 8 man rotation trying to install his new offensive and defensive scheme. AJ is getting squeezed with Bey and Bogi getting most of the minutes at SG and SF. His team defense is what is keeping him off the floor for now. He's still in the Hawks long term plans.

I would imagine that he's still in the longterm plans. I was just messing with Skybox because I always rag on who he wants us to trade for :lol:

Yes, of course. if you are powerful enough to impact the games by watching, please skip all of them. Better yet become a Celtics fan.

With all do respect to Murray, and I love Murray, he won't be the best guard defender on the court tonight. Him and his partner are the ones that need to be worried about terrors and torture out there.

Murray doesn't want to poke the Black bear. He already has two T's in 87 minutes. He runs a little hot.

I think this technically counts as one of our 41 home games this year.

I do think we can attack them downhill along with punishing Trae on the offensive end since he is not a good defender. Gotta hit shots from the outside consistently in order to do that. At the end of the day though, Franz AND Paolo need to play well. Cannot afford them to have off-nights. I think we get Markelle back for this game. LET'S GO MAGIC!

Under Quin, Hawks aren't running as much PnR as in seasons pass under Nate. More ball and player movement, motion offense.


Appreciate the insight.

These Hawks have been cooking. Smoked the Wolves, who are the best D in the league. I feel like this is a game we should lose.

Somehow, the games I haven't had things going on for (two LA games because they were late and Dallas) and been able to actually sit down and watch, we are 0-3. The games where I tried to rush home or only could hear on the radio, we are 4-0. So maybe I should just get in the car and listen on the radio or something?

I think this is like the Sacramento game last season. That was a hinge game and Sacramento took off after. I think Atlanta is primed to be a top 4 team in the East and if they win tonight I'm calling it.

A win for Orlando will be HUGE though

Atlanta gettin rid of John Collins & starting Jalen Johnson instead has done wonders for them. They're definitely better than last season

Now that you mention it, i might be bad luck too, half of the ones i have watched have been recorded. Maybe i will give the radio a try.

Looking at a few homes in Clarksville. Beautiful homes, great pricing. Florida is becoming too expensive for a big family like mine (married with 4 kiddos)
