Hawks
NBABeat: Simone Edgewood
146 Points. No Star. We Done Talking?
Eight Hawks in double figures, 25 threes, and a 39-point win without Jalen Johnson. The depth isn't a backup plan anymore — it's the whole identity.
Eight Players, One Answer
Jalen Johnson missed his second straight game. The Hawks beat Memphis by 39. Eight players scored in double figures and the building hummed at a frequency that didn't need a name.

I Called the Hawks Trades the Best Moves in Franchise History. The Receipts Are In.
SI, Yahoo, and ESPN just caught up to what I said two months ago. Every Hawks deadline grade is getting corrected upward — and I never changed mine.
The Hawks Are Real and Your Schedule-Strength Argument Is Cope
Atlanta is 14-2 since the break with a +17.9 home margin and five guys scoring 16-plus without Jalen Johnson. Your spreadsheet has nothing to say about that.
The Hawks Don't Need Anyone's Permission to Be Good
Ten straight home wins, five players scoring 16-plus without their All-Star, and a motion offense that moves like conversation. The rest of the league is debating schedule strength. Atlanta already has its answer.

The Hawks Don't Miss Trae Young. Daniels' 28 Just Made It Impossible to Pretend Otherwise.
The Hawks are 37-24 without Trae Young this season. They were 2-8 with him. The math is not complicated — the feelings are. Bookmark this.
Dyson Daniels Played Like He Had Something to Prove. The Hawks Might, Too.
Twenty-four hours after Houston dragged them by twenty-two, Dyson Daniels went out and scored 28 like he was done waiting for permission. The Hawks are in the playoff bracket for the first time since 2021 — and State Farm finally felt like it.
State Farm Without Trae
Trae Young gave State Farm Arena its sound. Eighteen thousand people are learning a new one.
The Kuminga Experiment
Golden State wouldn't pay him. Atlanta gave him a role, a runway, and a reason to smile. Seven games in, Jonathan Kuminga looks like a different player -- and the Hawks look like a different team.
