The Hawks are projected to finish the season with the third-worst record in the NBA. However, there has never been more reason for optimism than there is right now. What has gone on behind the scenes is setting the franchise up for a level of success they have not seen in the past, and it
The Braves’ pitchers and catchers reported today, but there is a noticeable absence from a starting rotation member. Lefty veteran Cole Hamels, who signed a one-year contract this offseason, is not in camp as he deals with left shoulder discomfort: Cole Hamels not in Braves camp. He’s back in Dallas and will be re-evaluated in
The wait is officially over: baseball season is back. The Braves had their pitchers and catchers report today, signifying the beginning of Spring Training — a breath of fresh air for you baseball nuts out there like me who are in dire need of 162+ games. This spring training is a special one for the
Another year, another season of Baseball Prospectus disrespecting the Atlanta Braves. After being catastrophically inaccurate in their projections over the past couple of seasons for Atlanta, they have lowballed them once again, projecting 83 wins and a third-place finish in the National League East. This is a far cry from the 97 games the Braves
Last month, I wrote about how DeAndre Bembry’s days with Atlanta could be numbered, citing a downtick in minutes and poor shooting. Now, it seems the writing could be on the wall for him with the Hawks. According to David Aldridge of The Athletic, the Hawks fielded calls for Bembry at the trade deadline. This
Per Shams Charania, the Hawks reached a two-year contract agreement with Brandon Goodwin on Tuesday, thereby guaranteeing his contract and removing his two-way status: The Atlanta Hawks and two-way guard Brandon Goodwin have agreed to a two-year NBA contract, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. — Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) February 11, 2020 Goodwin is a local
Devonta Freeman is not the same player he was when he signed his five-year contract extension two and a half years ago. At the time, he was coming off two consecutive seasons with 1,500 or more scrimmage yards and double-digit touchdowns. There were concerns about his size, but he quickly became one of the most
With tight cap space, the departure of Vic Beasley, and a lack of internal options on the roster, the Falcons are almost forced to take a pass rusher early in the 2020 NFL Draft. If you check out my most recent Falcons mock, I had them taking three. Luckily, they should have a plethora of
The excitement is in the air as the Hawks added multiple pieces at the trade deadline rather than sell them off like years past. The team is getting closer and closer to being more competitive, and that all starts with the addition of Clint Capela. Unfortunately, he is currently nursing a heel injury but is
The Knicks have been a pain in the Hawks’ butt recently. Dating back to the start of last season, they had taken 4 out of the last 5 from Atlanta, including a demoralizing 143-120 loss back in December that was not nearly as close as the score would indicate. Cam Reddish and De’Andre Bembry remained
