Atlanta Hawks is set to take on Miami Heat in NBA 2021-22 on Thursday, 13 January 2022 at 06:00 AM IST
When Hawks were failing early in the season, superstar guard Trae said that the team needs motivation, well, it did found so briefly in November, winning six or straight games but the fall since mid-December has been unbelievable.
John Collins has asked to be traded considering how he has complained about the lack of touches and the offense being too Trae-centric and it seems like Atlanta’s core will be dismantled soon.
Clint Capela, who was a major rebounder and defender last season has seen a dip in his production and after signing a long-term contract, he just hasn’t looked like the same player.
Bogdan Bogdanovic hasn’t shot well during many games, Cam Reddish is inconsistent and Kevin Huerter despite having a great season hasn’t found the routes to bring home the wins.
Overall, the Hawks have lack depth on multiple fronts and they may need a roster overhaul with the way things are going, can’t believe this is the same Hawks that made the Eastern Conference Finals last season and pushed the Bucks to the brink
Last season, the Heat had little to no bench depth but this season, the management made some wonderful changes and that is why critics and fans alike praised their offseason signings.
Even with Butler and Adebayo, two key players out for most parts, Kyle Lowry, who was imported in the offseason, has kept the fire alive.
With Herro and Robinson, there is plenty of shooting, and Lowry’s playmaking abilities, perimeter defense, and leadership keep the team in sync.
Heat has beaten some formidable squads without Butler and how wonderful that can be for the confidence.
Then the signing of PJ Tucker has brought toughness, and the Forward has been making wonderful contributions offensively.
Then if you take into account how deep reserve Omer Yurtseven has turned heads, grabbing 15+ rebounds these days, and how Max Strus has shot better than some regular starters in the league and how Caleb Martin has also been a factor, it is clear Heat has found the spark and unlike Hawks, the team seems to be coming along and it will not be a surprise if Miami remains inactive during the trade window.
