Who gets the biggest piece of the blame pie? This is a safe space.
The Hawks’ season has not gone as planned. With Jalen Johnson going down midseason and the Hawks moving off De’Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdandovic for pieces in Georges Niang, Caris LeVert and Terance Mann they’ve had a lot of turnover with their roster.
The NBA has so many unspoken rules — the biggest one, however, is that losing games falls at the feet of the best player on the team before anyone else in the organization. For this Hawks team, their best player is Trae Young, an offensive system unto himself and arguably the best passer in basketball — and to be frank the past few seasons.
