You can also find me on the other site where I mostly talk Hawks but also other stuff, it's my account I do what I want bsky.app/profile/bloghawk.bs…

Both now 0-3

the Dream would be completely out of this game if it weren't for Naz' rebounding

Izzy was calling for the ball all the way down in transition. Incredible to see her confidence flourish in the biggest moments in just her rookie season

worst half of basketball the Dream have played since the Portland blip a couple of months ago Valks were ready for a dogfight (4 turnovers) and the Dream weren't (12 turnovers)

this game is when the Dream *really* miss Bri Jones. her ability to get an early post up and find kickouts would be opening up the halfcourt offense right now

the Dream are having major jitters just trying to get into their sets. credit the Valks for being physical, but Atlanta has got to raise their level sooner rather than later

Rhy's rim protection is special. What a chasedown block

the Dream players and crowd are hype for their G4 intro

Two hustle stats I'll be paying attention to all season long is screen assists points and deflections. With most of the NBA having played 2 games, the Hawks are second in screen ast pts (25.0) and second in deflections (22.0) per game. This is gonna be the scrappiest team itl.

The Pelicans and Bucks have both started 0-2 The Hawks own the least favorable of their two 2027 firsts (top 4 protected) #PelsPickPursuitPart2

Couldn't watch live due to travel, but one big thought after rewatching the Hawks game is how unselfish every player is screening for each other, continuing last season's theme. The Hawks should lead the lead in guards setting screens/inverse screening. Such a funky, diverse O.
