Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Time to talk about the *slaps living room floor* defense. After picking up a scrappy, shorthanded victory in Chicago on Wednesday night, the Atlanta Hawks will officially enter the second half of the season north of the .500 mark irrespective of the outcome of tomorrow night’s tilt against the Boston Celtics with the team’s record sitting at 21-19 through their first 40-games of the 2024-25 season. While there is still a lot of basketball left to be played, and I’d stop (extremely) short of hanging any banners for this fairly blasé accomplishment, it is worth ..read more

Huge games from Keaton Wallace and Daeqwon Plowden. The Atlanta Hawks were in Chicago on Wednesday night to face the Bulls on the second night of a back-to-back. The Hawks got a big win last night against the Suns, as Trae Young finished with 43 points and Onyeka Okongwu finished with 22 points and 21 rebounds. The Hawks were without De’Andre Hunter and Jalen Johnson in that game, and the injury report looked worse against the Bulls. Johnson, Hunter, Young, and Zaccharie Risacher were out for this game, which meant it was next man up for the Hawks. It was a night start for the Hawks as they g ..read more

Dale Zanine-Imagn Images Trae Young: good at basketball. The Hawks and Suns faced off on Tuesday night with both teams looking to get above .500. Without Jalen Johnson and De’Andre Hunter, the Hawks rolled out a starting lineup of Trae Young, Dyson Daniels, Vit Krejci, Zaccharie Risacher, and Client Capela. Trae Young scored first for the Hawks with a corner three-pointer. He made another three from over thirty feet just a couple minutes later. The first timeout came after a Devin Booker three that made it 8-8. Young scored 10 before exiting the game for the first time. The Hawks were able to ..read more

Photo by Garrett Ellwood/NBAE via Getty Images Well, duh. But what are possible solutions? The Hawks came into the season betting that their collection of largely untested point guards (and arguably none of them pure point guards) could back up three-time All-Star Trae Young. When you have a great player like Trae Young, you’re going to maximize his minutes on the court, obviously. So, it’s not quite as necessary to invest as many resources towards backing him up as you would a more problematic position. And yet, that bet just has not cashed out to this point. I talked earlier about how Trae Y ..read more

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images No afternoon hoops. The effects of the snowstorm that rolled in over the weekend has now impacted the Atlanta Hawks’ game schedule. In light of a planned home afternoon game against the Houston Rockets, the league has decided to suspend the contest.

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images .500 again. The Hawks were defeated by the Suns in Phoenix when a late game effort came up short. They were still without Jalen Johnson and Vit Krejci filled his spot in the starting lineup. Dyson Daniels scored first for the Hawks, and the next bucket came in flashy fashion, Trae Young did a fake behind-the-back we’ve seen so often and threw one up to his big man for the slam. Might need to bring that ladder back out to straighten another backboard. pic.twitter.com/7328hXQEa4 — Hawks On FanDuel Sports Network (@FanDuelSN_Hawks) January 10, 2025 The Suns were ou ..read more
