I want to say thank you to all for making
things possible for around the atl Let's go ahead and
bring in our co host for tonight's show. He is
a long time Atlanta sports fans, sports writer who's always

(01:59):
out and about a h. Jordan Jackson. How are you tonight, sir?

Speaker 2 (02:04):
What's going on? Sir?

Speaker 5 (02:05):
Is always glad to be on SoRs Visions, not a
two point one FM talking about Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
And Georgia sports. But that being said, sir, let's get into.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Them all right, sounds like playing to me. So first
things first, it's football season, might as well be it's
football season year round basically, right. So for the Atlanta Falcons,
you know, we just had the combine and the rumor
is here. Tell is that the Falcons only sent defensive
assistance to the combine, right, And I guess that's to
show that they're really, really, really serious about concentrating on

(02:36):
getting defensive players this time around, right in this draft
this season, after drafting four straight offensive players in the
first round over the last four seasons. So the Falcons are, however,
still at the bottom of the league in sacks. We
can't stop the run. Aj is still our best cornerback.
That being said, forty five Official interview schedule. Forty five

(02:58):
supposed to be with defensive players. Do we believe that?
I don't know. Is it truly the intention of this
team to build a true defense to coincide with the offense,
because you know they didn't do that with Matt Ryan
Hall of Famer. They could have done so, by the way,
last year in twenty twenty four, the Falcons gave up
twenty four or more points eight times eight. Jordan, we're

(03:23):
the biggest needs for the Falcons this year, sir.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
What the biggest need this year, sir, is the same
as the biggest need last year, did you before that?

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Year before that? That is edge rusher, sir.

Speaker 5 (03:34):
But also we have several needs on the defensive side
of the ball.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
We could use more interior guys that could win up front.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
We could probably use another stand up linebacker too. We
definitely need another corner on the other side of a J.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Terrell, and we.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Probably are gonna need enough safety to possibly replace Justin Simmons,
who may leave in free agency and who didn't quite
work out as well as we expected anyway, and last.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Year's free agency.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
I definitely think defense should be the focus at the
combine now. I will tell you, though, sir, despite the
fact that it was only defensive as sisters.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Doing interviews, I have heard it confirmed that.

Speaker 5 (04:12):
The Falcons offensive line coach was also there at the combine,
assisting with the on field drills of the offensive line.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Interesting. Interesting, Well, I know the Falcons have you know
a pick at the beginning of the draft, and I
saw on the on some of the site some of
the prospects. Darius Alexander Toledo six foot three, three hundred
and five pounds defensive tackle, runs a four point nine
to five forty yard dash. Jamier Stewart defensive end now

(04:42):
Tech Texas A and M six foot five to sixty seven.
Maxwell Harriston cornerback out of Kentucky ran the fastest forty
out of the combine at four point two eight seconds,
had six picks three return for touchdowns in his two years.
Might be you know anybody that you can think of
that you know comes to mind.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
Well, obviously my focus is on edge rushers, but I'm
not so sure that we're gonna end up with an
edge rusher.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Obviously I would love to get my hands.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
On Mike kil Williams, the hedge rusher out of Georgia,
or Jaylen Walker, the other edge rush out of Georgia,
but it's very likely that both of them could be gone.
We know the top guy Avenue Corner out of Bench
State's gonna be gone, So it just depends on who's
left from the Falcons pick. Unfortunately, though, he said that

(05:34):
there's character issues with Mike Green, the hedge rusher out
of Tulane that had seventeen sacks.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
So that's gonna take him off the board for the Falcons.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
The same with James Pearce of Tennessee also character concerns
as well as the quarterback.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
I think Harrison is his name that you just mentioned.
Aleakan Truckie, he's.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
Another one with character concerns, you can pretty much remove
them from the Falcons board, sir.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
It's unfortunately, the Falcon filter is definitely still in place.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
So as so we just go by be paying attention
to around the atl on Sports Visions ninety two to
one FM as we get deeper into the Atlanta Falcons
NFL Draft. The Braids real quick about the Braids, real quick.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
Note, sir, I do have a ride for you concerning
the Falcons free agency and one of the main bridges
the Falcons had. Okay, if the rumors about Drew Dahlman
getting twenty million dollars a year are true, I wish
him well, and the Facons shit too.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
It's a business, right, so we gotta think of it.
Think of it like that. At that point, The Braids,
real quick about the Braids. They're sixteen and three in
spring training for those who care, right, they have tied
today zero zero. That's crazy, right, And the Grapefruit Ye
League right now, none of the stars are really hitting
that much, but shortstop Nick Allen is hitting four seventeen

(06:56):
so far, so see a barrow watch out for him.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Right.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
We'll talk more raise as a season approaches, though. High
school basketball, let's get into that a little bit, Jordan,
go ahead and take it away with what's happening in Atlanta, Yes, Sir.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
In the five eight semi finals, Woodworth Academy advanced to
the championship game by defeating Langston Hughes.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Of the Fair Marine sixty three to fifty eight. One
of my schools.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
I went to Lee County fell sixty three to seventy
five to try cities in the four eight semmies, Hayston
Academy seventy six, Turk of forty North to Conty seventy
McDonald sixty so pacing the Academy in North o' contey
will face each other in the state championship game. Sandy
Creek seventy one, when a Forest forty two got seen,

(07:43):
the Girl out of ellen Wood fifty three, Monroe High
School out of harbenty forty five, Private School semis, North
Cott Christian fifty seven, Green Forest fifty one, and Holy.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Innocence eighty four, Mount Parrin.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
Christian forty two for North Calk Christian the Holy End
of Since face off for the state title, Sir Wow
for the guys in Columbus, Georgia.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Unfortunately, Carver season has come to it and they got
beat by Butler in overtime seventy eight seventy three, which
is devastating. They were one game away from the championship game.
They finished with the record of twenty seven and three.
The ladies of Hardaway High School, however, they did beat
Josie sixty five to forty five to advance to the
championship game, which will be played Mark six against Murray County.

(08:31):
That game will be in Make in Georgia, so if
you're nearby to take the trip and support. Also in Columbus,
both the Bechelli boys and girls basketball teams advanced through
the GAA state title game, so congratulations to them. Jordan.
Let's talk to some TJL golf sir.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
One other quick note on high school basketball score Sir.
Women out of Maryella.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
Sixty six, Grayson fifty three and the six eight semi
finals and new fifty six preble Brook of maybe to
fifty three. So Wheeler and Newton will face each other
or the state championship. With that being said, onto the
TGL sir. He at Lata Drive Golf Club finished their
season with a four to one record after defeating Troop

(09:18):
of the Florida nine to one on Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
The troop of the Florida team is led by Tiger Woods.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
They have already clinched the playoff birth and they will
face They will be the third seed and they'll face
the Bay Area.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
In the semi finals.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
And the Bay Area team is led by last year's
Masters runner up ludvig Aber.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
Interesting. Interesting, Tiger are doing a little bit something out there,
and hopefully our team has a chance. Let's go ahead
and transition to college basketball. This is going to be
to you as well, Jordan. Can you catch us up
on the HBCUs as the college basketball season comes to
an end for them?

Speaker 5 (09:58):
Absolutely. We have the si e SEE men's basketball tournament
going on right now.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
All been to.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
State one oh five, Lane College one O two All
Beni State will face Tuskige in the quarterfinals.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
More House sixty two.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
Fifty one and for Valley State seventy one, Central State
seventy eight.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
So more House will take on Central State in the quarters.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
The Battle State seventy nine, Spring Hill College seventy four.
The Battle State will take on Miles College in the
quarter finals. Number one see Clark had a bye. Number
one see in the gas that is and they will
play Kentucky.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
State in the quarterfinals, Sir, all right, going to Uga
after beating the number five Florida Gators last week, they
followed it up with wins against Texas eighty three sixty
seven and then just most recently seventy three sixty four
over South Carolina, so they've they've come back a little
bit after that, Auburn lost. Their final game of the
season is going to be against Vanderbilt. So right now,

(10:59):
UGA does have a pre a good chance to actually
make the NCAA Tournament straight up, which would be amazing
because again, they were looking pretty dead for a second there.
The SEC is stacked this year though, and again, even
if they don't qualify straight up, I still think they
have a chance to maybe get in by winning the
SEC tournament. I know that's crazy sounding, but you know,
they played Auburn pretty close, and then again they beat Florida.

(11:22):
Go ahead, Jordan briefly, Uh yes, sir, I do agree.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
I do think you j has a good chance to
get in out with their recent surge.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
I saw a projection that has predicted to be a
ten seed obviously lived they were to win the SEC tournament.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Did automatically be here.

Speaker 5 (11:37):
But I think a win or two in the SEC
tournament was solidified in a spot in the big games.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
And actually, and you know what, I'm glad you said that,
because I forget sometimes a couple of wins can get
you in there. You don't have to win. The whole
thing is about what's on paper too. As we continue
tonight on Sports Vision's ninety two to one FM around
the at L, we're gonna go into some college park
Skyhawks talk. Jordan, can you catch us up on what

(12:04):
they've been doing lately?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Absolutely? Unfortunately hasn't been great. Uh.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
They lost eighty seven to one hundred against the Rio
Grand Valley Pipers. The Cola Dura Sinch had sixteen points
and three assists, five from ten from the field, with
all the two.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
On the threes.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
They coin Plowden had eleven points, six rebounds, five to
fourteen from the field, one of eight on threes. Then
they played Real Grand Valley again and this time they
fell one O eight one twenty six. Dominique Barlow led
the Skyhawks in that game twenty six points the ten rebounds.
Even Wallace had eighteen point seven assists. The Cola Durasinch

(12:45):
had just eight and five in that game, only one
to five from the floor and Ozero of two from
three point range. And one of the reasons why the
Skyhawks brought those last two games. They lost center Tonally Bradley,
who had been a key contributor. He just reached You
signed a two way contract, but you have a pacer.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Sir, Congratulations to him. The whole point of the G
League is to be able to promote yourself. Really right,
does hurt the team?

Speaker 2 (13:10):
No?

Speaker 4 (13:10):
Long term? Let's transition to Volleyball Pro Volleyball Federation. The
Atlanta Vibe. They are officially in a slump, y'all. They
lose again to their Orlando Valkyries three to two on
the road. Pia Timber led the team with twenty points
and had four aces, followed by Merritt Beeson with nineteen
points and two aces. He also had twenty two digs.

(13:33):
The Vibe are currently six and eight on the season
now and hopefully they can get back to their winning
rays this Friday, March seventh against the Vegas Thrill at
home at Gas South Arena in Atlanta, So make sure
if you're in Atlanta goal support, but also you can
watch the match on ROKU channel at seven o'clock. Columbus
River Dragons just had a home and home in Michigan

(13:55):
against the Motor City Rockers, winning six three and seven
to six that went in overtime. In the first win,
Nolan Chapatta had a goal and two assists for three points,
and Sammy Bernard at twenty six saves. In the second win,
Nolan had a goal and assists for two points and
Justin McDonald's had Justin McDonald had two goals and one

(14:18):
assists for three points, and Kyle Moore had three assists.
So congratulations to them on that little bit of a
win Street. They're currently third in the conference, still twenty
one and eleven. The next home game there it's been
a while, March twenty eighth at the Columbus Civic Center
in Columbus, Georgia, So make sure you buy your tickets
now and support and I forgot to do the Columbus

(14:39):
River Jackets Columbus Storm They've won their second game of
the season, defending their championship from a year ago. They
beat the Alabama war Dogs thirty to nothing, shut them out,
and right now their next game is going to be
March eighth against the Clarksfield Chiefs. So again, if you're
in Columbus Georgia, that will be a home game, go
to Garrett Harrison State them and buy your tickets to support. Last,

(15:03):
but not least, as we get ready to get ready
to transition to some professional basketball, let's talk some CSU
basketball real quick. The guys, they clinched a Peach Belt
Conference regular season championship eighty three to seventy two with
a win over USC Beaufort. Congrats to them. They ended
their season by beating Georgia College eighty seven seventy three

(15:24):
with twenty five and three record. The ladies are also
during great beating USC Beaufort in a close one seventy
eight seventy seven, then finish the season in a seventy
eight sixty eight win over Georgia College. They have a
twenty and seven record. They will be hosting the quarterfinals
at Frank G. Lunkin Junior Center. Will update you next
week on those final scores for you, Jordan, anything you

(15:47):
want to catch up on before we get ready to
go to the Hawks.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
Yeah, sir, Well, last note, unfortunately, their second back Alatta
United zero Charlotte Jeff se too did found to arrive
in Charlotte in their second match.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Thank you for catching us up on that because I
did like to get that in there. I appreciate that.
So next, last, but not least, we're gonna talk tom
Atlanta Hawks for the rest of the show. Let's give
a little bit of a break for everybody again. Thank you,
Thanks everyone for listening to Around the atl on Sports
Visions ninety two one f M. We will be right back.

(16:26):
You are listening to Around the at l with Chris
and Jordan.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Will be right back with more Atlanta sports talk.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
And we are back on Sports Visions ninety two to
one that film. This is Around the atl As We
every week talk Atlanta and Georgia sports and have a
great time, great fun doing it. And that being said,
let's go ahead and get into our last segment of
the night, the Atlanta Hawks. First of all, before I
get started, congrats to Zachary Richard say for being named

(17:46):
Rookie of the Month. You average twelve point eight points
a game, four boards, but you know he had a
sixteen point game, two seventeen point games, one eighteen point game,
and one nineteen point game mixed in and all that.
Hopefully he can do that again for us in March
because we're going to need it. So for the Atlanta Hawks,
the season is on the line, folks. The sixth seed
is too far away now to get unless they pull

(18:09):
off like a ten game win streak and the Detroit
Pistons lose like seven in a row. Right, So it's
a fight for the seventh seed where they are only
a game and a half behind pretty much there or
you know, a little bit closer depending on who loses, right.
But if they get there, they get home court in
the play in tournament, and if they win, they clinch
the seventh seed. And yes, that means they play the

(18:30):
defending champions, the Boston Celtics. But we know we can
beat that team.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Right.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
It will be harder without Jalen Johnson and Hunter, but
it's doable because the Celtics, guess what, they're not a
sheer thing.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Right.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
So let's talk about the Hawk's most recent win against
the Memphis Grizzlies. Big, big, big, big win. They beat
them one thirty two, one thirty on the road. Dyson
got a steal on Bain and Carris received a kickout
pass or a game winning layup. Very exciting. In this game,
Karris had twenty five we should say had twenty seven
double Low had sixteen and twelve dice and at fourteen

(19:03):
point seven dimes in three steals. Trey had fifteen assists.
Garrison also had three threes. Two big notes in this game.
They didn't shoot themselves out of this game on threes,
and other than Zak and Carris and Garrison, nobody shot
more than two threes in the game for a total
of twenty eight and I think that's where they should
be to really compete the rest of this season. Also,

(19:26):
Trey didn't really have to shoot in this game. He
only took seventeen shots after missing his first five, believe
it or not, in the first quarter. In the second quarter,
he was two of four for fifty percent. In the
third quarter he was three of six for fifty percent,
and he only took two shots in the fourth and
he missed both of those. He didn't shoot a three
pointer after the first quarter for the rest of that game.

(19:47):
He didn't need to though, in this game because of
what Zach was doing, what Krris was doing, what Garrison
was doing. He had fifteen assists. Obviously, right the Hawks
had eighty two points in the pay and only gave
up twelve fast break points, which is the other reason
we won that game. Jordan, talk about this Grizzlies game
and do you think it was an important win? You
think it could be a catalyst for the rest of

(20:08):
the season.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Sports Radio ninety two point.

Speaker 5 (20:13):
One FM Sports Visions and you're listening to around the AGM.
I think you're listening to your folks. It was a
big win, a huge win. Very excited, very excited. I
wanted to say it could be a catalyst. But then
when you turn around.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
To lose the next game, which you will talk about
here shortly.

Speaker 5 (20:31):
You know then you're not so sure. Yeah, tight defensive
players by Dyson Dames to stay in that ball from Dame.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
He made a great ass.

Speaker 5 (20:40):
To Karris la Burd and Karris Laburton with a great
finish by switching hands and landed up on the other
side of the rim. As you said, Zachary Reche was
outstanding in that game. Uh, twenty seventh points on eleven
of thirteen from the field five or seventh three point range.
That's outstanding the efficient, especially for a nineteen anybody, but

(21:01):
really a very principal nine g old rookie.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Also, Paris the Burg was.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
Incredibly in that game as well, Uh twenty five points
I assist and just made so many big.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Shots down the stretch in the fourth quarter of that game.

Speaker 5 (21:17):
So with that being said, sir, I guess you know
we need to talk about this game against Milwaukee that
took place right after the Memphis game.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
This is true, and what I want to do is
there's a comment here saying, well, Trey is never going
to get us a rim because he's too soft. This
has nothing to do with being soft or whatever that
designation is. It's about hitting shots and when you pass
the ball as much as Trey does. Again, one, he's
leading the league and clutch points, clutch assists, potential assists

(21:51):
per game, toll assists and assists per game, and he's
a league leader in points generated by assists and points
generated I assist and buckets. It's not Trey at all.
It's the rest of whatever we don't have, which is
what other teams do have and the Hawts organization refuse
to put on our team. So that's that's that's the

(22:13):
issue that I will address continually, especially if you get
a chance to go to IMT and Worldwide Radio on
YouTube and watch my review of the Orlando Magic game
from a week and a half ago. You'll see that
in detail. Go ahead, Jordan, I beg, what does that
even mean that Trey is sold here?

Speaker 5 (22:30):
You're talking about about a guy who plays through a
lot of injuries report every game this season and in
the past before we had a guy like a Dyson
Daniels and some of those playoffs series against teams like that,
he he would be one of the only people getting
up in people's faces, you know, and trying to challenge
people about rough play against him and more importantly rough

(22:52):
player against his keymakes.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
So I don't see how all trade young.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
Oh Jordan, we lost you a little bit there, sir.
As you get back into the signal. The reason that
this question was even coming up, I actually was. I
was about to answer it, typing it in, but he
just said we could have had Luca, So I don't
even want to go any further in that particular discussion. Yeah,
I knew there was something to that, you know, I
just had to you know, but go ahead, repeat your

(23:22):
your statement there.

Speaker 5 (23:25):
Well, like I said, he's a smaller player, and obviously
a smaller player is going to be a finesse player.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
But Trade doesn't shot from going into the.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
Pain to shoot his floats and stuff around the basket either,
So I don't understand that about Trade being sold. Now,
with that being said, sir, give me your thoughts on
this Milwaukee Bucks game. That the most recent game that
the Hawks just played.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Well, you know, and this is with Yannis and Dane
playing in the game, obviously, and you know, of course
the Hawks are still you know, playing shorthanded in everything.
But we were in the game. We had the lead
in the game, right and again just the point of
let me see if I can pull it up real quick.
Let's see if I can do this. Give me a

(24:08):
second here, Jordan, I'm gonna try to pull this up
because I didn't have it pulled up on this. How
you do that?

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Why you do that?

Speaker 5 (24:14):
I will just say that the final score in the
game was a lot of one twenty one Milwaukee one
twenty seven, And as you said, it was a very
close game. That was a point when the score was
one twenty three one and Trey drove to the basket
and tried to shoot the floor.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
It was a great defensive played by Brooke no fair
they can test it.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
And the float of just there short and Milwaukee, you know,
made a couple more baskets than that pretty much put
the game away.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Yeah, so, you know, one of the things about and
in the fourth quarter alone, Trey had four assists, right,
four points, four assists, right. And so when we're talking
about trying to get over the hunts or to speak,
at a certain point, we have to have war, right,
and in this particular game, let's just talk about that.

(25:04):
And our starting lineup for this game, we had one
who has seven points and one who had six points
in the starting lineup. The others fifteen points, sixteen points,
twenty eight points, and then Karris LeVert gave us twenty
one off the bench and Terrence Mann gave us twelve. Right,
So again, is it enough? Do we have enough?

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Now?

Speaker 4 (25:24):
Again, we have people hurt and injured, right, Jalen is
out right, Vin's out, nantz is out. You know, we're
missing a lot of different players. But at a certain
point you have to be consistent. And as much as
the other night Zach had twenty seven points. I mentioned
this at the very beginning of the All Star after

(25:44):
the All Star break, we needed Zach to be Rookie
of the Year for the rest of the year. Right,
he just got named Rookie of the Month, and very
well deserved. But three for ten and one for six
from three, you know it's not enough. Has seven points?
How many points did we lose by Jordan?

Speaker 2 (26:06):
There you go?

Speaker 4 (26:07):
You see what I'm saying. So his average, if he
just hiss his average, you know we win the game.
How many free throws do we miss? Too many?

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Again?

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Right, it's just these little things that unfortunately, we just
have not been able to do on a regular basis,
not after night, game after game. As opposed to the
teams that have they're loaded, Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, OKAC,
they have player after player. Their their depth is just better,
there's always been better than ours. And then again, we're

(26:38):
in the Eastern Conference, where everybody has a big that
can get your fifteen sixteen, eighteen, nineteen points, ten, twelve
rebounds a night, three or four blocks. Either they're really
good at defense or they're really good at offense. There's
a few who are good at both, but we don't
have either. And it's been a problem for seven years.
And I've shown that in many, many, many episodes of

(26:58):
Around the atl on IMT and worldwide Radio. If you
want to look at those game reviews to show you
those things right there, especially those of the miss shots.
We miss a lot of shots that are generated and
they're wide open, and it catches up with us every game.
So I'm hoping that the Hawks can still you know,
get there. You know, I want to see them in

(27:19):
the playoffs this year badly. They need to be in
the playoffs after what happened last year. And then at
the end of the day, we need to field an
actual team. Why are the Atlanta Hawks the only team
that don't want to compete? It doesn't make any sense.
All the teams that are above us were below us
four years ago, and we have done everything opposite of

(27:40):
what all those other teams to grow a team properly,
and it doesn't make any sense. One last quick thought, Jordan,
as we get ready to close out the show.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
Yes, sir, well, the fact thing I find interesting is
in the hawks last two wins, Trey Youngs average is
just eleven point five points per game, but it's also
average fourteen and a half assists, that he has four
and a half turnovers, which is you know, about a
three to one assistant turnover ratio in the last two wins.

(28:10):
So that shows you that the team is just much
better when everybody is clicking and the supporting Cats is
doing the thing, and Tree doesn't have to be Superman
scoring the basketball, but he can.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
He can just pish and do his thing, and the.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
Guys are making majority the other shots. The Hawks have
an interesting chance to beat anybody.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
That's that's and that's right after February thirty and eleven.
The only player in the NBA to do that. He's
the only one to do that. But thirty and eleven
don't matter no more, right anyway, We got to go, guys,
