@DaddyDoddGT congrats they beat the 280th team on kenpom

watching Georgia Tech men's basketball to check out the Scott Cross era, and 10 minutes in I know it's about to be a *rough* season

Izzy Borlase was blown away by the hard work that her Atlanta Dream teammates put in over the WNBA season 💪

Hawks have done some really silly things inbounding the ball. Credit the Lakers' defense for being there to create havoc, but way too lax with some of these routine plays

[Wes @bloghawk]

CJ McCollum is the ultimate "it's a good shot if it goes in" player. Always a complete adventure when he dribbles 3+ times into a shot

[Wes @bloghawk]

🚨Dyson hit a three 🚨

[Wes @bloghawk]

@brixmoneyswag yeah I would have matched his minutes. they tried to put Dort on Luka for a bit, but they kept Dyson on the bench too long

[Wes @bloghawk]

the Hawks really can't afford to sit their three best passers (Jalen, Dyson and Kingston) at once. the offense has grinded to a halt

[Wes @bloghawk]

this game was 15-7 at one point

Lakers have gone on a 44-17 run since

[Wes @bloghawk]

two straight possessions of zone defense from the Lakers. I'd like to see Dyson at the free throw line/nail in those situations instead of standing in the corner

[Wes @bloghawk]

definitely looks like the Hawks are having OO show on Luka on every ball screen he runs with Kessler

[Wes @bloghawk]

@evil_dallas should have the depth to do so. Quin talked about being cognizant of how many minutes Jalen, Dyson, NAW and O racked up last season

[Wes @bloghawk]

Excellent to have Jock back, but hope Zuby can continue to find minutes as well as he's played lately

[Atlanta Hawks @ATLHawks]

For the record, I think Dyson Daniels was the better player last week, but the voters tend to value PPG.

Dyson Daniels:

9.0 PPG (43% TS%)
11.0 RPG (5.5 ORebs per)
7.8 APG
3.2 stocks (steals + blocks)
team best +10.0/100

Nickeil Alexander-Walker has a great chance to win Eastern Conference Player of the Week when it's announced tomorrow

27 PPG
42% from three
56% eFG
60% TS%

The Hawks were the only East team to go 4-0 from 11/2-11/8

[Wes @bloghawk]

Dyson Daniels is 6'7" and everyone else in the left column is 6'10"+ btw

[Basketball University @UofBasketball]

Leaders in offensive rebounds for every team…

Crash the glass!

[Wes @bloghawk]

Much better win than the scoreline looked. Washington shot out of their minds from three, otherwise the game would have been wrapped up earlier.

Atlanta won the hustle battle behind Dort's tone. Toughness was a huge emphasis in the offseason and that investment is paying off

[Wes @bloghawk]

The ThunderHawks (Dort and Wiggins): 37 points on 15/23 shooting
