The Atlanta Hawks Need Quin Snyder To Make This Roster Work

The Atlanta Hawks Need Quin Snyder To Make This Roster Work

All right guys the Hawks had a decisive win over the Lakers Tuesday 138 to 1222 and it’s one of those interesting things because obviously now they have had two wins woo woo and if they get a win tomorrow Friday then it’s G to be three

Wins and I say that because you know we have like stretches we’ll have stretches of a month or two before we get three wins in a row right so yeah there is a little bit bit of excitement or a little bit of hype around it let me ask this

Maria do you think that that actually means that the Hawks have actually turned the corner if you think so tell me why but if you don’t think so what would you need to see personally to make you feel like they are starting to turn the corner and going in the right

Direction I mean I feel like it’s the same thing I’ve echoed for the whole first half of the NBA season like consistency is what I want from the Hawks and and that’s very hard to do in the NBA obviously but when you see that decisive win over the Lakers and I was

There for a little bit of the game and definitely for pregame but I watched it back at this at the station um the Lakers are not a good team and they’re not a good team right now so I don’t look at that and think okay the Hawks

Have turned a corner um it also tells me that all of these trade rumors who knows what’s actually going to happen especially because D’Angelo Russell’s been playing a lot better as of late um who knows what the Lakers are going to do with him but the Hawks fans don’t

Want him did you hear everybody he Ling him when he was at the free throw line and they said we don’t want you um yeah it that’s fine but I think consistency from this team you know you’re getting DeAndre Hunter back which will be huge obviously he was on a minute’s

Restriction against LA but I think that I want consistency in both the front and back court and that’s something that we haven’t seen from this team since the beginning of the year and I’m glad you sit front Court Maria because there has been so much attention on the Trey young

Dejon Murray partnership but I honestly don’t think that’s where your biggest challenges are I think there are a lot of challenges with the big men and Jarvis although this is the first time in two months that you’ve seen the first eight on the depth chart actually play

Together I do agree with Maria I think that this is not the Lakers team that you saw win the inseason tournament this is the Lakers team that came in off of a back-to-back in Houston that was without Anthony Davis for the third time and they’re a team trying to find their way

And figure out who they really are as well so I would agree I don’t necessarily think this is is a turn the corner to me it was just a game that you win that you’re supposed to win and let’s see what you do with the rest of this

West Coast Gauntlet when the Suns come into town and you take them on Friday when you take on the Warriors Saturday and when you take on the Clippers Monday yeah it’s it’s all about you know trying to build something right because one of the things that I feel like has stood

Out in these couple wings that the hwks have gotten is you seen capella being a little bit more involved you start to see a little pick and roll and all that stuff and he even talked about that’s the type of game that we need to play

You know and I think that he needs to be a catalst for that right because he was one of the reasons that kind of hid all of this stuff because of you know his his defensive prowers and what he brought to the table and the pick a roll

With here and Trey to get that go that that that element going um pretty quickly early on and often but I I think overall like this this team needs to kind of see how this plays out because I think a move at the trade deadline it’s not going to make them better because

All you hear or all you see and it is talking about know B being able to save money against the salary cap and and and uh or luxury tax we talking about aprons and I was like I don’t even know if y’all talking about cooking in the

Kitchen or you talking about wearing an apron and all it’s just too much confusion nobody talking about winning games and getting better than being able to compete so here’s the thing Quinn Snider figure out how to get these boys to consistently play like they have in

These past two games and and as you and win the games you’re supposed to win because what you’re in 10th place right now you what seven games under 500 so if you run off a few wins and start get some momentum you can potentially potentially possibly make a run at it in

Those teams that are in front of you because we know the East is a little shaky right now um at the B at least in the middle of it um for for the most part so I I think this is a a space where that the Hawks need to find the

Consistent like Maria mentioned and and and they need to start down low indeed indeed and I gotta tell you one question just a rapid fire question for you guys because we are a week away from the trade deadline Maria do they make a move can they make a move that’ll

Even make a difference on the back side of this trade deadline and second half of the Season yeah I think they do make a move but I don’t think it’s what people are going to expect it to be you’ve seen the rumors come out that Quin Snider is lobbying to keep dejonte

Murray I think his perimeter defense has been the worst it’s ever been in his career but I think a guy like Quinn Snider can turn it around I don’t know if we’re going to see dejonte Murray leave this team team if you would have asked me a couple weeks ago I would have

Said yes I’m going to say that it’ll be a trade that makes everyone confused and doesn’t make the team better yeah here we go and I got and I got the perfect candidate too Maria I’m glad you said that that is the perfect segue AJ Griffin probably is gonna get traded at

The deadline I would not be surprised at all because no one can explain why this dude isn’t playing yeah where where my uh my Chris Ker’s other word you know people feel the way how they feel about Chris kersner but man he can he can find the story he can

Find out what what the issue is we need a Chris in our lives but but yeah I think he’ll probably be someone like AJ Griffin because like at the end of the day I feel from what we saw in our his rookie season he should be playing I

Don’t think he you know especially on this team you know when Trey young goes out like or it’s not playing the man should be playing right and you have no offense you have no perimeter shoot shooting and bugam and we saw it the other night when bugam McDon was in the

Starting lineup you got exactly 10 points from the bench all from ony U so yeah I’m thinking to myself if we could save DJ which I’m in favor of by the way but if we can save him I think we need to try to save AJ too but yeah I kind of

Like this whole thing because Maria three days ago if you’d asked me if dejonte Murray was out of here from the word that was on the street and maybe on the street inside that Arena it was yes but all of a sudden in the last 24 to 48

Hours it’s been a changed so whatever that is these three will keep you guys updated on the moving soap oper that is the Atlanta Hawks

The Atlanta Hawks have won two games in a row with their last win coming against the Los Angeles Lakers. Dejounte Murray has been the center of NBA trade deadline talks for the past few weeks. Tenitra, Maria and Jarvis talked about whether or not the Hawks should make a move at the trade deadline.
