This is not a good start - Capela doubtful, smh. Also no Rondo.

The Atlanta Hawks finally open the 2020-21 regular season on Wednesday evening, taking the floor in a game that counts for the first time since mid-March. While the Hawks will have to wait to play in State Farm Arena, Atlanta visits the United Center to take on the Chicago Bulls in a battle between Eastern Conference foes.

Unfortunately for Atlanta, the story of the day is the injury report, with several members of the roster battling issues. At the time of this post, it is unclear what the Hawks will do in the lineup if Capela is unable to play, but his absence would leave John Collins, Danilo Gallinari and Bruno Fernando as the only options at the center spot. For Chicago, Thaddeus Young (leg) is out, with Tomas Satoransky listed as questionable due to health and safety protocols.

The Hawks are currently listed as two-point favorites on the road, which shows faith in Atlanta’s roster upgrades while still indicating a virtual toss-up against the Bulls. Stay tuned throughout the day for all the latest, with a game thread to arrive shortly before tip-off.

Clint officially out. Gonna be a massacre in the paint. I wish Bruno wasn’t terrible.

This Clint trade is looking like a lemon purchase.

He last played in January. He's been rehabbing and practicing.
4 preseason games later - out. Sigh!
I guess I'm ok with the precautions, wouldn't like to see him tear it.

CENTER: Nathan Knight - 6'10" - 245lbs. - - 23 year old rookie.

PG: Skylar Mays - 6'4: - 205lbs. - - 23 year old rookie.

With all the injuries that the Hawks have, will these two dress and see action? Could be. They are both on a 2 way contract
and should be available in an "as needed" basis. We might just need them both, on the bench and waiting, just in case!!

At this point I pray LP gives Knight Bruno’s minutes. He can’t be any worse than Bruno is with extended playing time.

Haven't really been keeping up lately, but it appears that YoutubeTV as well as most other streaming services have dropped Fox Sports... Can anyone inform on the best (cheapest) way to watch the Hawks now? I don't watch TV other than the Braves and Hawks mostly, so I don't want to pay $100+ per month just for that.

Just got league pass here in Orlando for Hawks and pumped for opening night.

shakes0 · Post #19 » by **shakes0** » Wed Dec 23, 2020 11:59 pm

so no centers and no back up PG. Good to see nothing's changed since the way we started last season. We're gonna get rolled tonight.
