The Questions You SHOULD Be Asking This Early In The NBA Season

Most of the questions I've gotten since the season has started (and I've gotten a lot of questions) have been along the lines of "should I pick up ______?" or "should I trade _______ for _____?" I've given mostly the same response--that you can't really make those decisions without context and 3 games is really […]

Trae Young's Shots Don't Fall Against Dallas

In a much-anticipated matchup between two rookies who were traded for each other, Wednesday's Hawks/Mavericks game ended up as a win for the Hawks, though on the individual level Atlanta point guard Trae Young didn't quite meet the hype, struggling from the field with a 3-for-12 night on the way to 17 points -- a […]

Alex Len is Starting Against Mavericks

Dewayne Dedmon Expected to Play 15 Minutes

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) is expected to play around 15 minutes in his season debut on Wednesday.

Dedmon will […]

Dewayne Dedmon Will Make Season Debut Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) will make his season debut against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. There is a good chance that the Hawks put Dedmon on a minutes limit in his first game back. Alex Len is going to be Dedmon's main competition, but regardless Dedmon should see decent playing time. He's worth […]

John Collins Expected to Miss Several Weeks

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (ankle) won't suit up for Wednesday's home opener and will reportedly be sidelined multiple weeks. Collins suffered his ankle injury in early October. He underwent an MRI which revealed mild inflammation and soreness in his left ankle. He was re-evaluated on October 22, but then afterwards it was announced he's […]
