Around The ATL Sidenotes-Game 79 of the 2023 Atlanta Hawks Season, Hawks vs Heat
Do you realize the Hawks still had a chance to get home court in the play-in tournament? I will speak on that during the show. The Heat beat the Hawks 117-111 in Double overtime. Many of you would blame Trae Young. You can't, he didn't play in this game. How did we lose?

Around The ATL Sidenotes-Not a need
Since 1985 the Hawks have selected Al Horford, Priest Lauderdale, Edy Tavares as centers. Pau Gasol and Sabonis were also drafted, but they were never going to play for Atlanta. Horford is the only player that gave team value over time. And he was the only one that was a threat on offense. Horford is the only center since Moses Malone to avg 18 or more in a season. The Hawks have been one of the shortest teams in the NBA the past 6 seasons, avg height 6'5. We had a chance to fill an actual need and didn't do it. We could have used the #1 pick to get 2 picks and get what we needed, a real defensive wing and a center. Why do you want to do the same thing over and over for another 30 years????
Around The ATL Episode 127
The NBA Draft is on Wednesday. Will the Atlanta Hawks draft Sarr? Clingan? Nobody? Will the draft be a prelude to free agency? Will the Hawks do what is necessary to win 50 games or do we have to sit through another season hopeing to get 41 wins?

Around The ATL Sidenotes-Game 80 of the 2023 season Hornets vs Hawks
My 4th game of my 2023 Atlanta Hawks season review. Why did the Hawks lose this game by 1 point? Trae Young? Just like the last 3 games I've reviewed, the answer is NOPE. Again, I m pretty sure people have not watched one Hawks game since 1985.

Around The ATL Sidenotes-Blame game and game 81 of the Atlanta Hawks 2023 season
Athletes don't blame other athletes for not doing their job. Only people who aren't playing do that. When you're on the floor, the man in front of you is "your" assignment. And if he beats you, you hope people are able to switch and rotate.
I will continue to show examples of how games are not lost because of Trae alone. Trae can't play 12 other players. Trae isn't getting targeted on defense like people say that he is. Trae isn't hindering people from doing their jobs each possession.
I've said this in previous episodes, why aren't you mad that others aren't good on defense like they are "touted" to be? Why isn't Hunter leading the team in charges? Why isn't Hunter leading the team in steals? Hunter had 40 steals the entire season? How did DJ allow SG's to avg 30 points a game "still" while Trae missed 28 games? Small forwards averaged 27 points a game. Trae is supposed to guard both his both his position and the two wing positions? Trae is supposed to guard centers also?
I'm going to discuss this as I review game 81 vs the Timberwolves. Hawks lost by 3 points while watching Rudy Gobert drop 25 points, grab 19 boards and block 5 shots.

Around The ATL Sidenotes-Trae Young
How many Atlanta Hawks are in the HOF? How many have a chance to be? How many have an NBA Championship Ring? How many Hawks players have been a league leader in anything? How many Hawks have their names alongside Hall of Fame players per their accomplishments? Named to an all NBA team? How many Hawks players have led their teams to playoff wins and series wins? How many players have played in the Hawks organization? Why is it that none of the players that are not in the HOF, do not have a championship ring, never been named to an all NBA team, have never led the league in anything are not hated, but Trae Young is? Dominique Wilkins career, his accomplishments, mean nothing? Because if you say what Trae has done means nothing, you have to say the same for Wilkins, who has a statue in front of State Farm Arena. This is the topic for today.

Around The ATL Sidenotes-Accomplishments matter
To dismiss Trae and what he has done means you have to dismiss everyone that has every played for the Hawks, Braves and Falcons that ALSO haven't won a championship but were good to great players. You also have to dismiss all the Hall of Fame players in all sports, because it doesn't matter because they don't have a ring, right? For Atlanta, Dominique Wilkins retired top 10 in NBA history in scoring, avg 24 a game as a Hawk. He has a statue in front of State Farm. Dismiss him tho. Terry Pendleton won MVP with Braves, dismiss him. Matt Ryan is a NFL top 10 in yards, touchdowns, wins, passing %, and come from behind wins, dismiss him. Would you have dismissed Freddy if he didn't win a ring here? Chipper, who is one of the greatest 3rd baseman of all time? Julio Jones, Mike Vick, Roddy White, etc. They are all bums right? Didn't win a ring. Other teams and sports. Dan Marino, Warren Moon, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Tracy Mcgrady, Mike Trout, Tony Gwynn, Ken Griffey Jr, Barry Bonds, Bruce Smith, Jim Kelly, all trash, cause they didn't win a ring?????? Accomplishments matter because without them, there are no sports. Sports exist because you keep score, there is a winner and a loser!!!
Around The ATL 2024 NFL Draft Show
Will the Atlanta Falcons get it right? After a decade of being at the bottom of the league in sacks, will they draft the best pass rusher that can get more than 4 sacks a season? Since the Falcons did not get anybody in FA or trade, what would be the reason they "don't" draft a pass rusher at 8? What other holes do they need to fill? Is this the year the Falcons finally finish the season above 500? Make the playoffs? Win a playoff game? Join he convo! Watch the livestream or call into the show at 646-652-4479.

Women In Business-Feat China Williams
Two years ago I interviewed China Williams, creator of "The China Show". At the time she was still growing her show, but also working as an on-air personality for a local radio station. Now, she has established herself as the go to interviewer of artists, covering hip hop concerts and more! The first interview was one of the best I've had, but due to some technical issues, you can only get part of the excitement of the interview. So, I decided to have her on again to get an update on what she has done since then and what she has planned in 2023. Please tune in and watch!

Around The ATL Sidenotes-False Expections?
Deandre Hunter was the #4 pick of the draft. He received a contract extension after 3 seasons. So, are Hawks fans just supposed to be ok and say that wanting Hunter to be better than he is, unrealistic? If it is, why exactly is he still here then? Quick discussion, using comparisons from other small forwards in the league, tell me who you think he shouldn't be better than...

The Hawks are bad, and in trouble. They are pacing to lose more games than last year. Why? Falcons have a lot of decisions to make, what will they do on defense in the draft? Free agency? The Braves look like they are set, are you good with what they did? Josef is no longer a part of Atlanta United, will the team ever get back to being competitive again? The Atlanta Dream will have a new vibe this year, will it be for the best? UGA is having a decent season, will it continue? These and more will be the topics on Around The ATL!

Around The ATL Sidenotes-Why now? Why not last season? Kevin Huerter
This will be my final time talking about a player that is not on the Atlanta Hawks roster. If you truly believe it was a mistake to trade Kevin, what is that based on? Because it can't be what he has done these first few games of the 2022 season? Why are you not basing it on the last 4 seasons where he averaged 12 points a game. Hawks gave him an extension based on those numbers plus a 27 point game against Philly in the playoffs. Why does that not matter to you now? Did you watch any games last year?
We lost 39 games last year. My contention is, we needed the version of Kevin that scored 27 points against Philly in the playoffs last year for the whole 2021 season. We didn't get that. Trae needed help at SG with all of the injuries, missed games from players, etc.
I pulled 34 games from last season. The first 20 games and then 14 games where the Hawks lost the game by 13 points or less. I included the game stats of Kevin, but also John and Trae. John because half of you hate him and don't want him to get touches. I included Trae to prove he needed help last year. Also I included the scores of the games to show if we were taught how to play defense, we would have advanced to 2nd round of playoffs even without John playing part of season.

Women In Business feat Ebony King
Inspiration. You have to "want" to be an inspiration to others. There is a responsibility that comes with it. You have to want to make sacrifices in your time and resources, you have to set goals, and you have to work hard. You can't be selfish. Most importantly you have to want to see the best in others and want to see them succeed.
Ebony King is such a person. She saw a need that needed to be addressed and decided to do something about it. Elevate Her UK is a non profit organization that provides positive advice and support to vulnerable teenage girls and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds. Ebony observed what homeless women, teenage/single mothers, domestic abuse victims and others go through and said "I can help".
