HAWKS POSTCAST: Should Nickeil Alexander-Walker Be The Long-Term Solution At Backup Point Guard? Nov 01, 2025

Show notes

The Atlanta Hawks invade Gainbridge Fieldhouse and the defending Eastern Conference champions, Indiana Pacers minus their star guard Tyrese Haliburton and 5 of their top 7 leading scorers from a year ago.

Indiana is winless on the season while the Atlanta Hawks are coming off a win in Brooklyn earlier this week. ATL will be without star guard Trae Young who suffered an injury early in Wednesday's game. To start in his place newly-named Hawk, Nickeil Alexander Walker.

DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste express their impressions on Atlanta's lopsided win in Indy including statistics that make them smile, slow start concerns, keys to the victory and 'The Turning Point' of the game.

HAWKS POSTCAST: What We Learned About The Atlanta Hawks (Minus Trae Young) Oct 30, 2025

Show notes

Entering the Wednesday's meeting in the 'Big Apple' versus Brooklyn, the Atlanta Hawks bolstered a 1-3 record to start the season with plenty to prove but who knew it'd be at the expense of doing so without their star guard Trae Young.

Trae was escorted to the lockeroom with 2:09 remaining in the 1st Quarter while maintaining a 28-23 lead and would not return to action.

Atlanta utilized their ball protection, efficient shooting with floor spacing, depth from the bench and pace in transition to seal its 2nd win of the season.

DeShaun Tate & Tenitra Batiste discuss the 'Turning Point' of the game, who stepped up in Trae's absence and keys to victory in a battle of 2 of the NBA's top 3 youngest teams in the league.

HAWKS POSTCAST: Consistently Inconsistent Atlanta Hawks Denied Another 4th Quarter Rally Oct 28, 2025

Show notes

The unbeaten Chicago Bulls refuses to lose at the United Center in the Windy City despite a desperate 4th Quarter run by the Atlanta Hawks in a down-to-the-wire thriller.

ATL went away from what had been seemingly working in their favor in the first half... feasting upon the frontcourt led by newly-acquired Kristaps Porzingis and rising star Jalen Johnson. Yet again, the 3rd Quarter was unkind to the Hawks and put directly in harm's way of a youthful, confident and surging Chicago Bulls team.

Kristaps Porzingis led all scorers with 27 points while two of the other four starters (Daniels & Risacher) tallied just 2 points each including an abysmal 1/10 perimeter shooting performance by Trae Young.

Why did Atlanta go away from their bread & butter?

What led to Chicago's success in execution the basics?

DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste breakdown the action from Monday night.

HAWKS POSTCAST: Asa Newell, Mouhamed Gueye Growing Before Our Eyes, Too Much OKC Thunder At The Farm Oct 26, 2025

Show notes

Key contributors were inactive on both sides in a meeting between the defending world-champion Oklahoma City Thunder and the Atlanta Hawks who unfortunately has the tall task of an early scheduled back end of a back-to-back.

While DeShaun Tate elaborates on why statistics played no part in the Hawks' loss, Tenitra Batiste shares why the perimeter was good and bad for ATL on Saturday.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren combined for 61 points to remain unbeaten.
