I’m just going to go ahead and declare this the fourth consecutive win for the Hawks. Sure, in their last four games, they’ve only “won” (according to the arcane and outmoded regulations of the NBA) two of those games, but the other two should be wins. Not just moral victories. Straight-up wins. And I will…

Kevin Huerter 26 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2020)
The Hawks won a game! Against a good team! All it took was Trae Young to do his usual Herculean things, and for Kevin Huerter to actually provide him with some help for once. The Hawks had had a lot of losses recently, and I felt like things were starting to become unraveled. Evidence of…

When the Hawks were up 29-11 in the first quarter against the Celtics, I was ready to drink the soothing nectar of Celtics fan tears. To get blown out so thoroughly by a team that is usually the one getting blown out would not only shatter the faith that Celtics fans had in their team,…

I’m sure I’m not the only one who was expecting a little more out of Kevin Huerter this year. He hasn’t regressed too badly, just a small dip in percentages and slightly fewer minutes, I would hardly qualify it as a regression at all, but just standing pat is not what young players are supposed…

Kevin “Butthuert” Huerter just had his best game of the season, scoring 19 points, but it doesn’t even seem like that much because a.) his scoring was all spread out over the course of the game, which diluted its emotional impact (even the commentators didn’t seem to realize that Huerter was having anything other than…

Kevin Huerter’s stats aren’t really THAT much worse than they were last year. He’s down a bit in the scoring department, but nothing outrageous. But that’s not what you want from your promising rookie who maybe could be a franchise cornerstone. You want improvement. Clear, definite improvement. It’s possible that he’s simply refocused away from…

It surprises me that, during the full minute-plus runtime of this video, the word “confidence” (or its derivatives, like “confident” or “confidently”) was not uttered even one time. I think. I don’t listen to the commentary as closely as I should when I make these things, so it’s possible that somebody uttered it while I…

OFFICIAL NICKNAMES FOR KEVIN HUERTER POWER RANKINGS 1. Kevin Huerant A nickname that alludes to one of the greatest scorers in NBA history is a nickname that’s worth having. Note that, even though I came up with this awesome, witty, funny nickname all by myself without any help, that fact does not bias Kevin Huerant’s…

It’s not too early to start the Kevin Huerter retirement tour. We know he’s going to retire at some point, all NBA players do unless they are killed in action or something. So why not get a head start on the jersey-swapping? He can from city to city and swap jerseys with opposing players and…

After that 29-point game he had back in early January, I felt like people were being way too hasty in crowning Kevin Huerter AKA Butthuert AKA Kevin Huerant. Maybe it’s just due to my pessimistic nature, but I had a feeling that Huerter couldn’t possibly live up to the standards that people were suddenly placing…
