"Resembling Cam Reddish, so full of potential but never given a real chance to develop."
J Cole name drops Cam Reddish on his new album that dropped tonight.
"This kid Johnson is a beast. Idk why he's not playing more, Quinn Snyder must know something, because the other coach didn't play him." - Bulls commentators
👀👀
Some of you have been complaining about Quin Snyder!!!!
Coach Spo and SEVERAL PLAYERS around the league have already said how more difficult the Hawks will be with him at the head of the table..
THIS MAN CAN COACH, PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME!!
I still can't believe Trae Young and John Collins pulled this off during the playoffs, let alone the Eastern Conference Finals 😳🤯. League is in trouble, talk soon!

Team USA really left the best playmaker in the league at home because of politics. They got what they deserved.
So happy for Bogi and Dennis. ❤🤍

"Only Giannis and Luka have more points than Trae Young since he came into the league. Nobody has as many assists as Trae Young during that same time."
- Magic announcers
With his 1st 3PT tonight, Trae Young now has 700 career 3PTs. He reaches 700 in 271 career games.
Trae reaches 700 career 3PTs faster than:
Steph Curry
Damian Lillard
Klay Thompson
Jayson Tatum
Bradley Beal
Devin Booker
Congratulations to former Hawks coach, Mike Budenholzer and former Hawks PG, Jeff Teague on winning an NBA championship with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Solomon Hill Season in Review
"You won't see another Trevor Ariza moment against the Hawks with the mix of veterans that Travis Schlenk signed last offseason. The Knicks learned this during the playoffs.."
The Atlanta Hawks are the only team in the league that have three players in the top 20 of PER. (Player Efficiency Rating)
8th - Trae Young (25.1)
18th - Clint Capela (22.1)
20th - John Collins (22.0)
John Collins has passed Josh Smith in career 3PTs in Hawks history. Collins has moved into the top 16 all-time in Hawks history.
Collins passes Josh Smith in 397 fewer games and almost 300 fewer attempts.

"Trae Young is the first player in the NBA this year to record at least 100 assists to two different teammates."
Solid article on the Hawks turnaround with Nate McMillan leading the way.
Trae Young is 38 assists shy of passing Spud Webb on the ATL all-time assists list.
He's also 433 points shy of entering the top 20 on the ATL all-time scoring list.
He could be top 20 in both categories by the All-Star break, by just averaging 20 PPG.

"Whether I sign this year, in the next couple weeks or not, I am still playing in Atlanta this year."
"Doesn't have to be a big contract, just fair."
- Kevin Huerter a few weeks ago on ESPN radio.
⬇️ are contracts that could impact the deal that Huerter receives.
De'Andre Hunter took one shot in the 2nd half after shooting (6-8) during the first half.
This team needs to be less selfish and more selfless. That stat is inexcusable.
I may be biased, but I genuinely do not understand the Trae Young hate/Lack of Trae Young acknowledgment.
Say what you want about his overall game, everyone has a preference, but you cannot deny that he's one of the elite passers in the last decade....
Danilo Gallinari (Gallo) Season in Review
When Gallo scored 20 or more points: Hawks record (8-1)
When Gallo made 4 three-pointers or more: Hawks record (7-2)
During the Eastern Conference Semis & Finals Gallinari shot 44% from deep.
I know big media is hurt that their darling Lakers are eliminated, but be realistic for one time.. The Lakers don't have ANYTHING that would be worth an offer even if the Hawks were interested in moving Trae, which they're not.
Don't worry Boston, your JB rumors start tonight.
Hawks are still 4 or 5 players away. - Shaq😐😐😐😐😐
"I like Murray, Young, and Collins." - Shaq
Ernie: "So why are the Hawks only 21-22?"
Chuck: "They play way too slow, they need to run. If they ran more, idk if they would win a chip, but they'd be way more exciting."
The Timberwolves are currently the best defense in the NBA and Rudy Gobert is No. 1 in the league in defensive rating
Still an elite defensive anchor 👀🔒
Just re-watched the Hawks/Mavs game. Man, JC was in his bag.
1. Is his floater here to stay? (S/O Trae Young)
2. The chemistry he has with CC (can average 4 assists a night just lobbing to CC.
3. DEFENSE (He was everywhere.)
4. He had a few nice post moves that led to baskets.
With just 3 points tonight, Trae Young will surpass Kyle Korver and Jeff Teague in Hawks All-Time Points (Playoffs) and enter the top 25 in Hawks history. Both players scored 414 points in (37) & (34) games respectively. Trae could surpass them in only 15 games.
Thank you Hawks fans!!! I appreciate all the feedback and mentions, even when we don't always agree.
I'm excited to see what the team does to improve during the offseason, and I'm ready for a full season under Quin Snyder. Till next time,
#TrueToAtlanta
