HAWKS POSTCAST: Are The Atlanta Hawks Morphing Into The NBA's Best 3-Point Shooting Team? Jan 12, 2026

Show notes

In the debut of newly-named Atlanta Hawks players CJ McCollum & Corey Kispert, Luke Kennard led by example with efficient perimeter shooting (22 points, 8/11FG, 6/9 3pt) on Sunday at Oracle Arena versus Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors.

Despite 30+ points from both Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, 10 of the remaining 11 active players in action for the Warriors were held to single-digit scoring. ATL forced 16 turnovers, shot nearly 50% from the field, nearly concluded the game with double-digit steals and stayed under double-figures in turnovers. While Atlanta is among the top 5 in the NBA in 3-point percentage, are they slowly molding into the league's best in perimeter shooting considering the way the roster is currently being constructed?

DeShaun Tate & Tenitra Batiste grade McCollum and Kispert's debut performances, address and assess the pros & cons, strengths & weaknesses of the first half of the season including the game's Turning Point and comment of the night.

HAWKS POSTCAST: All 5 Starters Record Double-Figure Scoring, As Atlanta Hawks Prevail In Bird Battle Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

Zaccharie Risacher, Luke Kennard, Dyson Daniels and now Mohamed Gueye are now on the consistent scoring uptick in recent games. On Wednesday at State Farm Arena, Atlanta added a number to the left result column with contributions from its starters (and bench) to limit New Orleans' road wins to two.

The frontcourt play of Kristaps Porzingis and Mohamed Gueye was electric, specifically in the first half where ATL put away New Orleans before it started, holding Pels' star Zion WIlliamson scoreless, forcing 7 turnovers and applying defensive pressure on the perimeter ultimately holding the Pelicans to 16% shooting from distance.

DeShaun Tate & Tenitra Batiste expound on Atlanta's interior defense emerging contributor Derik Queen, knowing how to win without earth-shattering performances from Nickeil Alexander-Walker & Jalen Johnson and a 1st Quarter Turning Point.

HAWKS POSTCAST: Can Atlanta Hawks Avoid Single Season Series Sweep Versus Toronto Raptors? Jan 06, 2026

Show notes

A sign of pride is on the line Monday at ScotiaBank Arena in Toronto as the Atlanta Hawks try to avoid being swept in the season series by the Raptors.

Toronto's Big 3 of Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett combined for 50+ points yet again in its 2nd of back-to-back meetings versus Atlanta in which both DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste question what the Hawks from their meeting just 48 hours ago including their favorite comments of the night. While DeShaun was on the search for the Hawks' pride to gut out the much-needed win, Tenitra expresses her perplexity of Head Coach Quin Snyder's philosophy of in-game adjustments.

How much can ATL continue to rely their success on the contribution of Jalen Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker?

How confident should HawksNation be that Luke Kennard and Zaccharie Risacher will continue to improve their production?

HAWKS POSTCAST: How A 'Painful' 4th Quarter Humbled Atlanta Hawks, Fueled Toronto Raptors Jan 04, 2026

Show notes

After recent struggles and injuries, the Toronto Raptors (currently 4th best record in the Eastern Conference) continue its magical season as one of the most surprising and improved teams in the NBA with a season series win after taking a 3-0 lead on the Atlanta Hawks.

After only trailing by a single basket entering the 4th quarter, ATL was outscored 27-11 and doubled its turnover total from the first 3 periods. Atlanta found itself sped up by Toronto's defensive intensity and urgency to score without getting stops or match the Raptors' physicality.

DeShaun Tate & Tenitra Batiste expound on the 4th Quarter meltdown, Head Coach Quin Snyder's scheme, flowers to an underappreciated bench contributor and what everyone should look for in Monday's rematch and final regular season meeting at ScotiaBank Arena.
