Marco Belinelli, in this video, continues his trend of only taking tough shots. He got an open one early on, but after that, he had to run off a million screens just to take a crappy jumper. Some would say that’s the hallmark of a good shooter: being so keyed on by defenses that you…

John Collins 18 Points Full Highlights (12/20/2017)
I think I’ve brought up this point before about a million times, but I just can’t get over the fact that this draft class makes last year’s draft class look like absolute 100% total horse plops. John Collins is averaging 11/7 on 60% in a backup role for the Hawks, and he is not even…
Read MoreTaurean Prince Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2017)
It takes all of my effort not to type “Tayshaun Prince” whenever I have to type Taurean Prince’s name. All of it. My brain power is already limited by my numerous Hot Pocket-based experiments with my microwave, all that radiation wasn’t so good for the old noggin, anyway, my heart basically stops beating whenever this…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 23 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2017)
Ersan Ilyasova has a grand total of one (1) game in the 10-19 scoring range, a 10-point outing against the Knicks. Everything else has been single digits or twenty-plus. Feast or famine with this man. Still, I thought it would be all famine with him due to how he finished last season. Every 20-point game…
Read MoreKent Bazemore 20 Points/6 Threes/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/12/2017)
Kent “Bazed God” Bazemore, has always been the kind of guy who can shoot threes, but he’s never had the reputation of being especially good at them. He’s hovered around 35% from three over his career, which is a high enough number where he is definitely allowed to shoot threes when he wants to, but…
Read MoreTaurean Prince Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2017)
THE TAUREAN PRINCE CHAPTER I: The Legend Begins —————- “Wake up! Wake up!” “Huh, what?” Ferland muttered as he squinted his eyes against the morning sun shining through the windows. Raising his head slightly, he could vaguely make out the form of his older sister standing next to the door of his chamber. Deciding that…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 20 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2017)
It’s good to see that Ersan Ilyasova still has that stepback three in his repertoire. There aren’t many bigs who are willing to do something like that. That shot drove me crazy when he was on the Bucks, because he could so often shoot it without moving but instead made things harder on himself by…
Read MoreTyler Cavanaugh 14 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
Tyler Cavanaugh is like the new Mike Muscala for the Hawks, except Mike Muscala is still on the team so there are actually two Mike Muscalas in Atlanta now. Cavanaugh can do all the normal Muscala things: he can shoot threes as long as the volume of shots isn’t too high, he can rebound at…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 26 Points/0 Missed Shots Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
Ersan “Arsen “Uzbek Thunder” Ilyasov” Ilyasova’s performance tonight would have been a lot more perfect had he not kinda choked at the free throw line at the end of the game. 9 of 9 field goals is sweet, no turnovers is sweet, but 3 of 5 from the line is decidedly NOT sweet. It ruins…
Read MoreTaurean Prince 19 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2017)
Taurean “Half of Milli Vanilli” Prince is still the second-leading scorer on the Hawks behind Dennis Schröder. Since PPG is the only accurate and reliable way to compare players, Prince’s 12.5 points per game makes him the second-best player on the Hawks. Not bad for a guy only in his second year! If you look…
