The Hawks are on FIRE and the NBA is on notice! Today, ESPN insider Michael Grady joins “The Locker Room Crew” to discuss what happened to set this team off and how legit they are as a playoff threat.
I applaud the Hawks for what they’re doing. They are doing something that’s really hard to do. They’ve kind of shifted personnel, and in doing so, kind of shifted styles. I think this is a huge testament to the season that Jalen Johnson has been having to allow the organization to say we’re going to move on from Trey Young and we’re going to put this on the shoulders of Jalen Johnson says a lot about how they felt about Jalen and his play and the way that he’s embraced it all season long.
