Their own building so we’ll talk about this 127 to 99 lost in the and one and talk about who got next if if to Sea doesn’t spontaneously combust before we get there but first get T and Tate’s take on this blowout tonight oh my goodness desan you said there are no words

Yeah I didn’t even know there was a game tonight T NRA as I’m just sitting over here oranges I didn’t even know there was a game tonight tanicha that’s how bad this was 30 30 points to the Washington Wizard Wizards the Wizards I don’t think let me say it

Again for the people in the back 30 points to the Washington Wizards now I came on here on last night I told the people that my great grandma Bessie could have put forth A Better Effort than what they did on last night against the Pacers and she is deceased mind

You at this point I need a drink not because my throat is parched but because this team has really just been that bad yeah um I even did something else tanicha and forgive me because I I feel like this is going off the rails a

Little bit Oh you mean like the game you mean like the game like the game like the game go off like the game I said on last night in the postcast after the Pacers game you need to beat this team by 100 you did not even realizing that this

Game was going to feel like the Hawks got beat by 100 yeah so I did something else I said you know what I got a really good feeling about maybe not a really good feeling but I got a good enough feeling I mean they’re playing the

Wizards I’m I’m going break up my red pin cuz I got a feeling for a victory I said no I’m not sure that that’s going to happen so I’m gonna break out my good pin I’m GNA bring my gold one in one of my favorite ones right here for my note

Taken yep I ended up deciding on my black pen because I had this gut feeling that it was going to turn into a funeral and that’s exactly what this was listen Georgia Tech has played some decent basketball as of late Georgia has played magnificent basketball as of late even

In a loss yes we saw effort both of those teams Georgia te against Duke today Georgia against one of the top te but listen and even Georgia State and even Georgia State yeah they’re doing their thing both of those both of those teams could have beat the Hawks tonight

In fact and you might just have to jump in on me because I’m just going I’m on a roll right now the Grayson High School shout out to my my boy Joffrey and and my boy KD who’s an assistant over there could Grayson High School could have

Beaten the Hawks on tonight I don’t have words I I I was using terms before atrocious terrible ridiculous Blasphemous and everything else but I should have known something when on the very first possession tonight the clock expired on the Hawks that should have told me everything that I need to know I

I’ll be really interested in hearing what your take was but it was clearly a lot colder for the Hawks inside of State Farm Arena tonight than it was outside of State Farm Arena tonight yeah and we’re not playing on Words With Trey’s moniker by the way we mean that when we

Say ice cold in a bad bad bad way like this is one of those games where you know we talked about this I believe it was the 5 minute and 44 second Mark last night when Quinn Snyder began to pull out the starters and you know you kind

Of figured okay he wants to get those guys out so that they can get some rest because they’ve got a back to back when there’s a back toback on the road oh certainly you know your heart goes out to those guys because that is tough but

When you are going home to sleep in your own bed and before the first game of the back toback you had days to recover and before you had days to recover because remember they played Sunday they didn’t play Wednesday then they didn’t play again until Friday so essentially you’ve

Gotten some decent amounts of time okay you also had the whole Squad they might not have been ready but the whole Squad was there where we had heard that um Deonte Murray was listed at one point as questionable but then he became available so you knew okay he’s gonna

Play Trey’s going to play Clint’s going to play so you essentially have the entire Squad at your disposal and and yet 34.4% from the field another bismal night from three 28% and you know how I feel about that 73% from free throws like I’m not going to restate that from

Last night but you know how I feel about that very very disgusted and the team that is the worst defensively in the NBA you should never have a stat line when it comes to defensive rebounds or steals or blocks in their favor the Wizards how rebounded

You 5450 they had one more steal than you and they had two more blocks than you in in what Universe oh oh oh and wait I got another one for it points in the paint points in the paint 60 to 36 we’ve got you and I do

Have to revisit this and we can talk about it in the and one we talked about the front court and how that made a bit of a head scratcher for us last night because the Pacers are small enough or were small enough for the hog to be able

To do something especially with Clint capella being back why in the world is that number 60 to 36 that is unacceptable unacceptable and that’s why my takeway was make it make sense because as I went down the entirety of the list of stats I couldn’t make anything make sense including the

Largest lead being 30 30 now this is a team this is a team where again you and I talked about the fact that the hwks had an opportunity to sweep this team now in the NBA or really any league desan if we’re being honest to be able

To sweep an opponent for the season series is an accomplishment no matter who it is so I would have still given the Hawks all their flowers if they had completed the season series because it’s still an NBA team at the end of the day yeah however this team gets to go home and

Say we got our seventh win on the road we spank them in their house we made them look like they absolutely didn’t want to play seventh win of the Season Wizards who had lost seven straight before they walked into safe Bar Marina worst defensive rating in the

NBA worst rebounding team and it’s not even close and you got out you got out and you got and You Got outrebounded Tonight by the worst rebounding team in the a lot Desa like the the the they’re number what 30 the number 29 team is

Like way here and then you take a drop off and it’s the Wizards and then you are favored by eight points and you lost by 28 to Sean the symmetry of it all in a bad way is just painful I I know I know that people probably waiting and

Say okay at some point Deshawn and tanicha are gonna pull it back in right I’m not pulling nothing back out I’m not RI I’m not doing I’m not doing just taste dis disgraceful I’m a little bit disappointed in the fan base because the fan base didn’t Boo the team right until

Like like Whispers or Echoes of booing like somewhere in like the fourth quarter but it was like anicha but but wait a minute desan Desa okay I’m listening go for no no no I want you to say what you’re going to say I’m going to put a pin in what you

Just said and I’m going to call an audible for the Deep dive but say what you’re going to say I want to go back that when we got time for it in the Deep dive but wrap us up here in this first segment I’ll say

This they got the right coach I tell you that I could not have been the coach on tonight I mean this was this was so bad I told you I thought that Indiana took their soul um on last night it got so bad that I’m listening to the broadcast

And and and Dominique Wilkins and I quote say we didn’t see this coming tonight Bob wrathman says yeah well you said that last night and I got a nice little chuckle that was probably the only little bit of a laugh that I was able to get so I know that we are kind

Of up against the break but uh I I don’t got it all off my chest yet tanra so I’m just wait to the other side and on that note if you guys want to hear more of this where we’re really really going to talk about or try to talk about or make

Sense of it come back on the other side we’re going to talk more Hawks and wizards in the and one now guys something that might make you feel I don’t know a little bit better about life is our sponsor Jace medical this episode is brought to you by jce

Locked on to get $20 off your order all right Sean when I looked at the fact that the Hawks were only down by five at the end of the first quarter bad until you consider that they went from scoring 25 points in the first period tonight against the Wizards to 22

In the second how Desa do you explain to me that’s a lack of effort on offense and this is where the Hawks are supposed to make their Mark they’re one of the highest scoring teams in the NBA you don’t explain because you can’t explain and can’t is a word that I’ve been telling

Myself since January 1st of 2024 that I would no longer use this team has given me no choice 13 days in as I’m trying to better myself by not using work words any longer that has anything to do with doubt here I stand or sit and and and

And and seeing myself saying it again because it was just that bad I mean think about it I we we we were just on here what 24 hours ago y talking about how you cannot afford to be bad on both ends of the basketball and that’s something that rarely ever happens

Offensively and defense ly this team was bad yet again guys are I feel like guys who never get in the game are getting in the team managers are having career high nights I mean the Wizards are out there having fun they’re down 20 something 30 points they’re out there swagging and

Surfing like I I don’t I I I I want to make sense of it I want to be able to understand I want to be able to comprehend I want to be able to overstand I want to buy it yeah um there was also some comments in the post game

Uh press conference to my understanding by one number 11 talking about how you know we need to be better and um we will be better I don’t even want to hear the lip service at this point and everybody knows that there aren’t very many bigger Advocates of Trey young than myself and

This ain’t one that you just point all on number 11 this is pointed at every person so I’ve been told from a young age you point the finger at one person you got to point you know you always got three pointing back at yourself everybody has to be

Held accountable on the coaching staff the front office you know the players you name it the water boy for making you know not making sure there’s enough cold water in the bottle I don’t know what it is but everybody has to take accountability for this I I it doesn’t

Make sense of me for the life of me but yeah I know that with having to start somewhere in order to try to turn attempt to turn things around and and gather some understanding of all of this it’s just got it’s simple it’s got to start on the defensive end it can’t

Start anywhere else and this team is lacking exactly what I thought that they’ve been lacking for quite some time they don’t have the vocal leadership in that locker room that doesn’t mean that guys don’t try here and there other guys on the court the vocal communication I think that’s something else that Quin

Snyder mentioned in his postgame Presser isn’t that communication there and that is a much bigger piece you know of something probably the biggest piece in basketball that um you know when it comes down to determining you know wins and losses on the on the um on the

Record book because it’s not going to show up on the stat sheet yeah I would I would absolutely have to say the same and you know it is frustrating because you say to yourself that you get to a point in place where you can’t keep saying in a postgame presser and not

Just Trey that’s whomever because others have said it as well it just so happens I believe have been his comment postgame comment tonight but you can’t keep saying we we know we have to and we will but then you either don’t do it or you certainly don’t do it on a consistent

Basis otherwise you couldn’t be at a season low eight games under 500 after a 28 point loss to the lowely Wizards game 4 one is upon us and you could be anywhere from five games under to 11 games under 500 at the midpoint of the Season which you just can’t have that

Happening and for me I think the the most concerning piece of this puzzle is the fact that in all honesty we’re talking about a team that seemed to lack effort because you’re not going to convince me that there was effort when the only thing the only time time you put forth

The same energy as the Wizards was the fourth quarter which was kind of like a trash quarter at that point where you tied 2828 okay fine but other than that I got nothing and that that concerns me because again this is a conversation that you and I are having far too often

And speaking of that second half you go to the third quarter and the Hawks gave up 40 points to the six and 31 Wizards I mean how do you explain your defense allowing this to happen because here’s the thing that I need you to make me

Understand if you can number one how to get outs scored again by 12 points last night in the third quarter and then again tonight 16 12 points by the Pacers and then you let the wizards one up you by 16 in the third quarter and the number two well I

Understand the Pacers I mean they can put up so 31 in a quarter was a shock yeah but the defense how did it allow 40 to listen I don’t even want want to hear an explanation at this point like if we’re getting to a point where we’re asking them how certain things are

Happening and we’re repeatedly watching them happen I don’t even want to like sometimes it you know you go we we all we’re all people we’re we’re you know everyone’s human right we all go through things in life right that aren’t always so great all the time and sometimes we

Wonder why is this happening to me and just the way that I believe in who I believe in just walk with me for a second I believe that sometimes it’s better that we don’t actually know why some things happen right because who knows how off The Rocker we would be if

We actually knew the answers as to why they happen I don’t think I even want to know the answers behind why this is happening the worst part about it is that it’s happening I mean this is a team that while they did shoot what 34%

From the field on tonight it got as bad as 21% when they were deep into the game and if I’m trying to make that like I want to make a statement like I I I I want to make a statement and and and um I think that the I think that the bench

Or the rotational guy should start the next game I I or or the game after I really believe that that you’ve got to send a message from somewhere but I think you forget this I would have much rather this happened against the Pistons who I know are really bad but

Are trying hard as hell yes than it happened against the Washington Wizards who is clearly right trying to essentially tank on purpose like they were trying to lose games and they’re beating you by 30 yeah they’re beating you by 30 and the thing of it is going back to that

Stat before we go on because I want to ask you a couple more questions as well kind of follow follow up on something that was really important that you mentioned earlier but when you look at the sandwich right and of course right now the Hawks are technically 11 um in

The Eastern Conference but the the step that sometimes I look at is where you are StreetWise right and the teams kind of around you and what they’re doing and granted they’re in Good Bad Company in that sort of play in space if you will because Brent the Bulls uh They

Just won one game uh Brooklyn has lost two in a row Toronto’s lost three the Hornets lost four and the magic lost three so those teams that are kind of three above you and kind of three below you okay they’re middling like you are as well and and kind of worse than

Middle well let’s look at the teams that you’re trying to get up in and be in their space the Knicks They just won one game right but they’re six and four at least they have a winning record in their last 10 the Cavaliers four straight wins seven and three in their

Last and don’t get me started on the Pacers that have now moved into that top four Echelon of the Eastern Conference nine and one in their last 10 games three of which they played Without Tyrese halber they won three straight the reason I’m mentioning that Deshawn

Is that you don’t want to keep being in the conversation around teams where when I look in the street column of the standings it’s always L2 or L3 or L4 it’s never even W1 or W3 or W4 you don’t want to be that because alleged supposedly you’re not built to I don’t

Even know what the word is now because I keep saying middling but middling means you’re somewhere in the middle trying to drop to the bottom not that right you’re not even middling at this point the other thing I thought that I wanted to bring back to the Forefront of this

Conversation is the fact that you said the Hans didn’t even boo you know I think I heard a little bit of a hiss somewhere in the third fourth part of like but it wasn’t like a passionate boo Desa I always said and this is me in relationships you do a better job you’re

Better off if I’m mad at you then if you make me sad yeah because if I’m mad I’m gonna shake off anger but if I’m sad or I am apathetic and I tapped out on you you need to be concerned because that means I’ve tapped out and I ain’t

Tapping back in there you go that’s what that’s what concerns me the fact that those fans were apathetic tonight and I will tell you being in the arena last night I felt like were bit apathetic well I’ll say this real quick before we jump to the to the next

Segment is that um it feels like a tank job not saying that’s what’s happening but that’s what it feels like sometimes there’s nothing wrong with saying what the energy what the vibe is like yeah um but the only reason why you probably didn’t hear very many booze is because

There was too many freaking people looking down and had their faces in their phones while the game was going on and I can’t blame them one single bit as to want to know and keep up with what’s going on on in the outside world than it

Is the the the product that is actually you know happening on the floor I um I I just I I I I want there to I I don’t want us to be having this conversation sometimes these conversations need to be had and um I feel like they owe they owe

Everybody they owe the people at the game they owe the people that’s taking out their time you know watching these games on television and some of these people they’re you know kids are suffering from you know not going to bed on time or getting their getting the

Bath water run for them on time because people are making time for their Hawks and you’ve got some dieh hard Hawks Nation Die Hard Hawks fans out there there and and and for this to be happening this ain’t about somebody being hurt or you know guys were out

Load management and all that kind of no no no yeah you mean to tell me that this is trying to compete I have a hard time believing it I think that’s such a great point an entire Squad showed up in in terms of the injury report but

An entire Squad didn’t show up in terms of the M I would rather him just set the game out yeah yeah it and and the about it is nothing there’s I think you said it again last night but it it resonates even tonight nothing explains what it is

That we’ve been seeing and that’s the troubling part there’s not one thing there’s not one specific thing where it’s like oh yeah we’ll tweet this or tweet that that makes it okay but we’ll talk about it because hey they got next in less than 48 hours we’ll talk about it when we come

Back this episode of lock on Hawks postcast is brought to you by prize pick now the basketball season is upon us and believe it or not the midpoint of the basketball season is almost here as well but here’s the thing too you can now pick combo projections across football

And basketball from the specials league in prize picks and of course we know we’re going through the Wild Card Weekend over in the NFL so it’s kind of a cool opportunity a league created specifically for combo projections that include two or more players from different sports or leagues so that to

Me is fantastic if you for example and of course this would have been before he got injured but like a Tyrese hbert just lighting the world on fire right and a Travis Kelce whose team is playing on a frozen tundra tonight but is absolutely able to still put up some big points you

Can actually make com combinations with those players how many threes is Steph Curry going to make how many receptions is Travis Kel going to have you want to play alongside some of your favorite players you can you can also find Community plays where you can play against Meek Mill or the comedian Andrew

Easy well Sean you know who’s not making it easy for us to understand things at least that’s the Hawks they got a bounce back though in less than 48 hours here they have an afternoon game Monday they have to host the Spurs that’s MLK day

And you know that that’s a day full of pageantry because of course it means so much around the world but it definitely means a lot here in the home of Dr Martin Luther King Jr so just pageantry at State Farm Arena commemorative uniforms and a choir that actually does

Those Hawks player intros to start the game typically it’s a soldout crowd really an amazing amazing entertainment space but to Sean what are the Hawks that take the court actually going to do so we’re not talking about another blowout another let down or another game lost to a team you’re clearly supposed

To beat don’t you dare don’t you dare pull this crap on MLK day or this th this postcast is going to go in a whole different direction if there is not another day in Atlanta Sports history where you show up to show out it’s on ML okay day oh and by the

Way this is where you need to try to set an example at least that’s what I would like to think on surface level right to this Superstar all generational all World Player Victor wanyama and welcome him you know give him the proper introduction to Atlanta and what Atlanta is all about

Um the sad and unfortunate thing though to n is that I’m not really sure like if there’s ever a game I mean I tell people all the time and they’re like where should I put my money down on today you know and people doing the gambling thing

And the spreads and the lines and putting tickets together and over unders and everything else right take it’s always usually a given take Atlanta on MLK day it just kind of always makes sense I don’t know about 48 hours from now or less than because it’s such an

Early game I don’t know I I hope we’re not in another instance where it looks similar to this um and then we don’t see on on the on a backtack night and this just my own personal beef uh where you don’t see AJ Griffin and you need three-pointers desperately um I’m not

Sure that if I was AJ Griffin that when my number was called I would have said no you go check into the game um but I I I I TR I’m trying to digress and bring it back around at this point it’s so difficult to do so but um this is going

If not nothing know cuz I know we like to think like oh come on like seriously it’s the Spurs yeah we said that against the Washington Wizards and got beat by 30 by the way um you gota think about this that’s a great point that you make

Because you better be careful the Spurs the hwks barely beat the Spurs back in San Antonio it took a charge it took a young charge exactly for them to beat and then glow key in Spurs last five games they are two and three but check this out they lost to Cleveland they

Lost to the Cavaliers by just two points on January 7th I’m sorry let let me actually go back three games because the last two they won okay so they’re on a little winning streak but before that they beat they lost to the Cav by just

Two a few days before that they lost to the Bucks by just four and then a few days before that they lost to the Grizzlies by just eight the reason I’m mentioning that is because you make it absolutely great point and so does Willie Carswell so that was embarrassing

He says I don’t know even where to start the Sean and tiisha I don’t blame y’all for going off tonight thank you Willie because we try to be respectful we try to be objective because we know that in all actuality there are some players who legit are giving their all and we we

Know that sometimes it’s backto backs right and that’s difficult especially if it’s road back to backs uh sometimes you have players that are available and they play they may be playing a little bit banged up no no we’re not going there at this point because when you lose by 28

Point points to the Wizards to me there is no explanation for that except that you just crack the bed and that’s it now mass or M I don’t know really know could be Nas Nas I don’t know but Nas I’m now convinced that the game is passed by

Coach Quinn does he have any clue on how to get this team back to playing basic basketball they’re trying to trade the wrong player Trey needs to go now I’m gonna tell you deshaan and I are not going to go that far by Quinn or Trey

But here’s where I will go halfway there deshaan uh you weigh in and then you know I got to say one more thing before we get out of here but no worries I I think that Quinn I don’t think the game has passed him up at all but I do think

You make an excellent point about getting back to basics to me that’s going to be you know we’ve been talking about I’ll go college basketball college football we’ve been talking about Nick sa right didn’t have the greatest team on his way out this season and people say this was arguably the greatest

Coaching job because he did more with less he got back to basics with his quarterback Jaylen milro and basically played them they played their way into a college football playoff that’s where Quin is you got to get these guys Back to Basics and get them back to individually playing their best

Basketball so they can play their best basketball collectively and while I don’t necessarily say Trey needs to go I’ve never been on that whole like you know run out of town bandwagon unless you have a game plan on what that’s going to look like however you best have

A game plan and this is going to be a challenge for Landry Fields he’s got less than a month to figure out a big move because to Sea at this point I do think it’s going to take a big move to reset my last thing that I will say

Especially in regards to um Monday afternoon is you know obviously it won’t be a cakewalk I don’t think that the Hawks can afford to look at the front of or any of us as fans or what have you can afford to look at the front of anybody’s Jersey and take them for

Granted or think that they’re just going to come in and lay down um if we don’t know anything else we know that this is a well- coached team and papovich is obviously a Hall of Famer and somebody that’s going to go down and I mean if you start talking about all sports like

Any sport he’s amongst one of the best coaches that is actively coaching um so you automatically right off the rip you have to know what you’re up against and so you know we we we you know hopefully the people will be you know we’ll be

Wearing our red Tan’s got her red on I I wasn’t going to do it not for that reason though I I wasn’t doing it tonight tanicha wanted I was like and I was like nah I Gotta See first and sure enough so um so no we’ll be looking

Forward to MLK and everything else the festivities that is going to be built around this game and uh looking forward to see how all of that goes yeah yes indeed indeed but just so you all know that little girl in the background she’s got three letters on see this big girl

She’s got letters on to cool Sor War that’s why I got my redon gift people shout out to all of my sor of D sign F to sorority Incorporated it is our 111th anniversary of our founding 22 amazing women founded this organization 111 years ago at Howard University and

  1. No chemistry on or off the court, no leadership, no accountability, no effort. The players are playing for themselves and not each other. This isn't about playing "better", it's about playing with pride. If there were any players that really cared there would be fistfights in the locker room. It's time to cleanse the roster at the trade deadline.

  2. Jalen Johnson is the only Hawk I would keep I would trade every last player on the roster at this point I know that's unheard of but,This is not true to Atlanta Basketball.
    These guys seem like they have give up on the season already. The Pistons even play harder than them. "That's facts"
    Get these guys out of here.
    "Jalen" you good dog we keeping you.Trae little stats don't even matter no more he can go to.

  3. To fix this team and making a run this year. They Landry to do this. Trade Clint, Hunter, Bogy, Bey, Bruno, OO, Trent, and DJ. Get what ever you can for them. Preferable draft picks. Let go Westly Mathews and Patty Mills. Go get Edy Tavares, Big Frank, Miles Norris back. and offer Boogy Cousin a contact. Bring up the starters of College Park. Coach Quinn should start Boogy Cousin at center. And properly rotate them properly through out the game. Silva/Mile should play 4, JJ at 3, G Mathews/ Seth Lundy at 2, Trae/Kobe at 1, This is possible. If we do get a Reeves, Zach Lavine, Kluminga like player let them start. But you got to trade Clint, Bruno, Trent, Bey, Bogy and DJ for sure.
    Go to get some consistent shooters that is clutch.

  4. Tell coach Quinn to defend the 3 point line. Go man to man. Defend out in. No light fouls at the basket. This is what teams are doing to us. Under cutting the loft man while he is in the air to take away the pick and roll.

  5. Anyone that wants to trade Trae and call him a stat man. Don't know what it takes to win. If Clint chase stats he would be better like 3 blk, 15 RBs 15 points, 10 assist a game he would be consistent and worth something. Shaq said his goal for every game was 20 points, 2Blk, 16 rebounds. Chasing stats.

  6. We had won 2 games in a row before that news came out about everyone is going to be traded but Trae and JJ. Was that true. Media in Atlanta has a bad habit of releasing info at the wrong time. What your mind set would be if you knew you knew you were going to get fired. These guys already is not that good and now they got to play not knowing if they are going to be traded. To drop that info right before the game. Shame on Atlanta Media. The players are just waiting on the trade. Do this. Say that nobody is going to be traded. Let's see what will happen with their attitude.
