This is the officially announced NBA Cup court for the Hawks this season.

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 41m

It’s the second game of a back-to-back for the Hawks and that might’ve actually helped in this case. “Normal” tip time this year is 7 pm ET but this was already scheduled to be an hour later.

Source confirms that the start time for the Hawks home opener against the Rockets on Saturday, Oct. 24 has been changed from 8:00 to 8:30 pm ET. Tip-off is being pushed back as part of the shuffling to move the Atlanta Dream WNBA Finals game to State Farm Arena earlier that day.

Kobe Johnson steal + RayJ Dennis dagger 3. And the Hawks win it. Ended up being pretty fun at the end.

some drama in the final seconds between the zombie hawks and the zombie thunder asa newell just had a second-chance dunk with less than a minute left to put ATL back in front

020

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 16h

This has been the entire rotation for the Hawks. The 3 guys who haven't played are on the Ex. 10 guys.

010

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 16h

no not usually but thunder have a back-to-back with travel so it was fairly clear they wouldn't play everyone

010

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 17h

I think Jalen Wilson has played well for the Hawks in the preseason. Continue to think that was an excellent two-way signing.

130

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 17h

unsurprisingly, it is zuby ejiofor in the backup center role with okongwu resting and landale starting

010

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 17h

Jock Landale with 8 quick points in the first 5 minutes, including a couple of dunks.

010

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 18h

just remember, everyone tonight's preseason matchup definitely decides, once and for all, who was the better draft pick between kingston flemings and aday mara

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 18h

Starters for the Hawks tonight against OKC: Kingston Flemings Nickeil Alexander-Walker Corey Kispert Asa Newell Jock Landale (Reminder: Johnson, Daniels, Okongwu, McCollum, Dort, and Wiggins are all resting)

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 19h

9 guys unavailable for the Hawks tonight, so here are the players that ARE available for ATL: NAW Kingston Flemings RayJ Dennis Corey Kispert Jalen Wilson Dorian Finney-Smith Asa Newell Zuby Ejiofor Jock Landale (plus Kobe Johnson, Isaac McKneely, Cameron Corhen)

130

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 19h

Nickeil Alexander-Walker is the only guy among the projected top 7 that is scheduled to play.

i don't know all the dynamics in play but it's obviously unfortunate for the schedule very challenging to move NBA games but there's no good solution

Checking in now for the first time at the 4:00 mark of the third quarter.

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

10 points in about 3.5 minutes for Okongwu to begin the third quarter.

020

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Mildly surprised to not see Asa Newell at all to this point.

020

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Starters still in for both teams to begin the third quarter.

Make that 13 points after he buries another 3.

Hawks legend Larry Nance Jr. is about to check in for the Pacers.

070

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Dyson Daniels made a 3 from the exact same spot (left wing) that he made one on Thursday.

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

that would've been a terrible challenge from carlisle in a regular season game, much less a preseason game

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

i wasn't quite prepared for the pacers intro video to be set to DMX's "where my dogs at?" (to be clear, i was delighted to hear it)

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

For those trying to find the Hawks game... The game is not being broadcast on either TV or radio locally. It should be available on League Pass (if you're subscribed) for folks in Atlanta and not blacked out without a local option available. Tip-off shortly after 7 pm ET.

Hawks starters tonight in Indianapolis... CJ McCollum Dyson Daniels Lu Dort Jalen Johnson Onyeka Okongwu (as noted below, NAW is not playing)

020

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Snyder on Dort: "It's hard to say what position he is because he can guard almost every position. There are some centers you can put him on."

010

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

After hearing from Quin Snyder pregame, I think the Hawks might use some lineups with Lu Dort as the nominal 4 tonight. Snyder talked about him being almost positionless. (Full audio on Patreon now)

Same TV situation tonight for the Hawks. 7 pm ET game in Indianapolis.

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

it's hard to say what is specifically assigned money because there isn't a salary cap or anything but they didn't have to pay profar any of his 8-figure contract and they didn't really spend any other big $ after the suspension came down

Brad Rowland @btrowland.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

they spent some (3+ million) on mahle and thomas, but not all of it!
