Atlanta Hawks – Page 14

Vince Carter 21 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (3/4/2019)

This game is more in line with what I expect a guy who’s 42 years old to be doing in the NBA: hitting threes and nothing else. Three-pointers are easy on the legs, especially if your shooting form doesn’t entail a lot of jumping. I’ve personally played against old guys who can barely move and…

Jaylen Adams 14 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2019)

Unlike B.J. Johnson, we have seen Jaylen Adams before. A lot of him, actually, he had played around 100 minutes before last night. Non-Hawks fans may not have seen him actually on the court, and I can’t remember if I have or not, but Hawks fans certainly know all about this dude. My first impression:…

B.J. Johnson 11 Points Hawks Debut Full Highlights (3/3/2019)

Normally when a 10-dayer makes a debut with a team, it’s just a few minutes in garbage time. There are exceptions to this (I am eternally thankful to Isaiah Canaan for coming right in and hitting a few threes while the Bucks were sucking in his debut, but now he’s gone), and B.J. Johnson is…

Alex Len 28 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/3/2019)

In a bid to find out more about the mysterious, unknowable enigma of Alex “Olyeyksyiyyyi” Len, I recently started making travel plans to head to his homeland of the Ukraine. I figured, Ukraine is in Europe, so it’s gotta be mostly safe for Americans to travel there, right? I mean, no street criminal would are…

Alex Len 24 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2019)

One could make a roundabout argument that Alex “Oleksiy” Len’s poor free-throw shooting in this game (four of nine) cost the Hawks the game (not to mention his dumb foul on Porter near the end of regulation). But you could also argue that Len’s timely buckets in several of the overtime periods allowed the Hawks…

Trae Young Career High 49 Points/16 Assists Full Highlights (3/1/2019)

The roof of State Farm Arena was a lonely place. But sometimes, a lonely place is just what one desires, Trae Young thought to himself as a chilly wind blew past him. He sat against one of an HVAC unit, his knees drawn up to his chest, gazing heavenward. Should he have done more? Could…

Vince Carter 17 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (2/27/2019)

I am preemptively angry over the fact that the NBA is not going to upload a video at the end of Vince Carter’s career of all the dunks he has ever dunked. They haven’t specifically said that they’re not going to do it, but given their record on such things, there’s no way it’s going…

Trae Young Career High 36 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (2/27/2019)

When I started looking at tonight’s box-scores and saw that Trae Young had a career-high 36 points to go with ten assists, I was mildly excited. The video would be long, but the toil suffered in creating it would be worth it. Then, my eyes scanned over the list of stats, and I saw that…

John Collins 34 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2019)

I recently read an article written by someone much more intelligent than myself that went into depth about John Collins’ defensive shortcomings. The article was all well and good; it used both defensive metrics (such as Collins being 91st out of 92 eligible PF’s in DRPM or something like that) and video clips (none sourced…

Trae Young Career High 36 Points/8 Threes/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/25/2019)

The main problem, I think, with Trae Young is his name. “Trae”. “Young”. That’s just not gonna cut it, not with names like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nerlens Noel, and Isaiah Briscoe (among countless others) occupying the league. He needs an upgrade. Let’s start with his first name. First things first, he needs an S in there…
