After snapping a 4-game losing streak on Sunday versus New Orleans, the Atlanta Hawks entered Monday with plenty of confidence but would only last so long. Meanwhile, the defending world champion Boston Celtics would await, as would Jayson Tatum and his explosive 26-point first half.

Atlanta appeared to be working much harder than Boston for conversion baskets in the contest but that wouldn't stop rising star Jalen Johnson from ascending on his way to yet another double-double performance this season.

DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste dive into how Trae Young's injury will impact the team ahead of Wednesday's meeting with New York, a rating on the team's performance & why tonight shouldn't be used as a measuring stick to determine where ATL is at as a team including the Hawks' unfavorable back-to-back scheduling.

In game seven of the season for the Atlanta Hawks, they'll share a mutual common denominator when they travel to the "Big Easy" versus New Orleans. Both teams have been affected by injuries to key contributors, in fact, starters. Also, in common both are on the front half of a back-to-back with Portland visiting on Monday for New Orleans and the defending world champion Boston Celtics for Atlanta.

ATL sparked a 2nd half run with what appeared to a different energy than what we've seen recently. We'll also deep dive into some interesting trends from Zaccharie Risacher and style of play comparisons made to perhaps one of the most unorthodox (yet effective) veteran players in the NBA.

DeShaun Tate and NBA Blogger/Podcast Personality, Michael Dyson put on their coaching hat ahead of back-to-back games versus New York & Boston and expound on Atlanta's strengths and weaknesses including why the Hawks won the Daniels/Nance/Murray trade.

Efforting to break a 3-game losing streak, Atlanta return home after a pair of disappointing loses to host one of the NBA's most improved teams, the Sacramento Kings. Can the ATL Hawks get off to an unbeaten start for the month of November?

It was finally good to see the Atlanta Hawks have some pride and stand & fight despite yet again being undermanned on the roster, ultimately limiting their rotation. Perhaps to add insult to injury (no pun intended), ATL was without one of its most productive contributors in just a short stint with his new team, Dyson Daniels whom has been heavily leaned upon by Quin Snyder on both sides of the ball.

DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste credit 3 players from the 2nd unit and provide in-depth analysis of the impact they've had...

Volume scorer Trae Young has had the difficulty of being paired up with some of the league's most elite defenders each night. Hear how he has matched up with his elite counterparts.
