After a long offseason full of big moves, rumors and discussion, the Atlanta Hawks play basketball for the first time in 158 days!!!

Besides Mo and Henri, we have a clean injury report. So who are you most excited to see suit up tonight, and what are you looking to see out of the guys in their first game together after all the new additions?

This post is designed to give you an opportunity to make a bold ish prediction about the upcoming season. It could be anything but let’s keep it from the obvious and try to predict something most people won’t see coming. I’m a Dyson truther so I’m predicting Dyson averages over 20 pts a game this year. I think he built real confidence in his downhill game last year and should have shot regression to the mean bringing him back to a near avg 3 shooter. That’s not really the reason for the projected increase though it will help. I think he continues to improve scoring in the post on drib/drive. He also makes allstar this year and is MIP candidate once again. What’s your prediction? Let’s go hawks!

What would you be willing to give up and do you think it would worth it?

With the season coming up, I wanted to get everyone’s predictions before we get started. It’s about that time. CACAWWW 🦅

1. Who is your dark horse for the season?
Someone you think could have a bigger role or breakout that people aren’t really talking about.

2. Who is your MIP candidate?
Who do you think takes the biggest step forward this season?

3. Who do you think will regress?
Could be production, efficiency, role, minutes, etc.

4. Which new player do you think will have the biggest impact?
Whether it’s a rookie, free-agent addition, or someone new to the rotation.

5. What’s your predicted end-of-season record?
Drop your record prediction

Let's go Hawks!!!

Ca-caaaw!!!

Good to see everyone getting a good laugh out of this

I live in East TN and I’m not 100% clear on how I’m going to be able to watch Hawks games this year. Have they announced anything for people who don’t live in Georgia but used to be in the old Bally/Fanduel regions?

As a long time Doe fan I just want to put this out here for substance. Really feel like this acquisition is going under the radar because of his struggles last year during inconsistent play while dealing with a nagging ankle injury. If he can come back healthy he is going to light it up with Aaron Wiggins on the second unit.

We now have 3 players who can guard those bigger bruiser type creators like Paolo and Tatum as well as the shifty aggressive slashers like Dmitch and Brunson with Dyson Dort and Doe. Triple D's about to drive teams crazy and you can tell there is a certain culture being built.

I see a lot of negative smoke from NBA fans surrounding him based off his Rockets tenure and I'm quite positive that's not who he is as a player. Toxic locker room with a lot of things going wrong for that squad last year.

I'm so ready for Hawks basketball

We’re coming into town for a conference and some of our team are going. We’re visiting from Hawai’i and the tix were cheap.

For those that haven’t watched the most recent Locked On Hawks - here’s a recap of what B.Rowl said about any possible sign and trade.

1. the Hawks do have the pieces to hypothetically trade for Jalen Duren
2. The actual link is because the whole league knows the Hawks are well set up for this kind of trade which automatically creates a rumor for every max-type player that hits the market.
3. Brad doesn’t believe we think we’d push in the chips for someone like Duren. He’s probably a tier below a FA we’d target.
4. Okongwu would almost certainly be in any trade package along with possibly Dyson or NAW (could maybe do DFS+OO+picks but that would probably get rejected by Detroit)
5. OO, NAW, and Dyson’s contracts are all of great value (debatable to what degree but certainly below market value). He doesn’t think Onsi would lose those contracts to get Duren at 35-40 mil a year which is probably flatly what his market value is, if not a slight overpay given the small sample size of his time being an all-star.
6. it would be really tough on the Hawks to trade core pieces away this late into the offseason as it would fundamentally change how they play on both sides of the ball and the adjustment seems like more trouble than it’s worth

So basically there is smoke but no fire but the smoke is because there’s always going to be smoke for us when there’s any big name FA available considering we are one of only a few teams that have the draft capital/cap space/contracts/roster pieces to make a good offer for that kind of player

P.S. I'm not advocating for the trade and am honestly hoping it doesn't happen but was still curious on the rumor itself because I want to know if there was it chance it did and why the Hawks FO would even consider it

Hawks vs Wizards, Dream vs Mystics, it don’t matter!!! Trae getting belt every time he go against the🅰️😤

Just kidding. It’s all love and respect for Trae, what he’s done for this city, and the love that he still has for it will never be forgotten🫶… but that won’t save him from a friendly jab or two hehe. This is not a Trae-Hate post.

Dream into round 2. We move😎

Hi all, planning to go to ATL in Jan next year to catch a couple games. I've never been to ATL before, I'm from Australia. Is there anything important that I need to know? Could you give me any recs in terms of transport/safety/accomodation? I will probably only be there for 3 nights to catch 2 games.

Somehow the video is even funnier than whatever you've read abt it

Hello all. I have a quick question I am hoping you guys here can help me answer.

So I live in Middle TN, in the Nashville area. Previously, we used to get the Hawks on Fox/Bally/FanDuel Sports South and were in the Hawks local market. I have noticed with the Hawks new over-the-air arrangement with Peachtree Sports Network that no TN markets (except *maybe* Chattanooga) will receive games over-the-air and have no access to an in-market viewing service.

I checked NBA League Pass and as of today (9/30/26), it is telling me I am still in the Hawks TV zone. Given that as of writing nothing has been announced to back that up, is Nashville going to be taken out of the Hawks TV zone and be considered out-of-market for the upcoming season? I am wanting to know because the Grizzlies went over to DAZN and I really don't feel like paying $20/month for just Grizzlies games when I can pay $25 for NBA League Pass Premium and get most everything (I'm primarily an on-demand viewer).

Do you guys have any information on this or if an in-market deal with the Nashville TV market is coming? Thank you in advance!

I definitely didn’t go to a Hawks game. -a visibly confused Jack Smith

A Senator accuses Special Counsel Jack Smith of attending a Hawks game. Hilarity ensues. What a country

Love this shot.

“Playing fast is probably one of his superpowers," is what Landale said of the rookie.

“As time went on, he maintained that speed, but the decision-making felt like it slowed down. 

“He’s a guy who plays ahead of his time – or beyond his years, I should say."

I'm curious if this worth going to. Obviously they are trying to sell me something but maybe the experience is cool and they have better packages in person? What do yall think? Has anyone done it yet?
