re: Let’s check in on Dyson

Dyson cannot shoot, that is true. But he excels at everything else on the court. Just last season he shot 34% from 3 so this season could be an outlier slump where he lost his confidence and won’t get it back until the offseason. The really damning thing about Dyson’s game is his FT %. How a player that is so good at all the little things, and puts in all the work can be a 60% FT shooter is pretty insane.

I watched the 4th qrt of the Knick vs Hawks game 3.
They took DD off the court with about 4 mins to play in the 4th . The announcers said it was bc the Knicks do not guard him on defense. The Hawks had to put Kamega back in.
DD reminds me of Ben Simmons but with a much better attitude. I think DD will put in the work to be serviceable on offense.

Through 2 games, Dyson is 2nd worse on the team with an 11.8 OnCourt per 100 and a team worse -20.6 On-Off.
So in 2 of 3 playoff games played, DD has led all hawks starters in +\-

He shot 5th highest of all wings in fg% in the regular season. That’s something to build on.

Because scoring and not turning the ball over are more important.

If the Knicks lose this series they will literally run Mike Brown for his shite lineups. Sad thing is he would be a perfect fit here with our history of coaches with bad rotations.

I love that my argument BEFORE the series started was that Dyson is 4 years in and can't finish playoff games.
The Hawks have found their 4th quarter groove by sitting Dyson for the 4th quarter.
And somehow you're still trying to argue that I'm wrong
If you have zero issues with his inability to close games when it matters 4 years in, and you clearly don't since you've never made a single post conceding this, then you have no ability to discuss this player rationally.

Dyson played I think 1 minute in the 4th quarter in game 2 and none during the final minutes, and that is when ATL made a great comeback.
Dyson played 3 minutes in the 4th quarter of game 3, none in the final 5 minutes except for the final play. The Hawks again won the game.
The Hawks have unlcoked something from losing game 1 to winning game 2 & 3, and it involves NOT playing Dyson Daniels. This should have been known by anyone who watches playoff basketball, this is not a surprise. The non big who can't shoot will be played off the floor, that's what happens.

Lol. That was not your argument. You and whstidintknowsofar argument was DD would never be in a rotation on a playoff team.
He’s playing 30+ mins every playoff game, starter mins, and led +\- of all starters in 66% of games played so far. Maybe they take him off the court in the 4th b/c of his poor free throw shooting and the fact he’s the most inexperienced player. Maybe they prefer the vets.
Sounds like you trying to move goalposts now lol…..

The fact that DD has to come out in the 4th Qrt for either poor shooting or poor free throw shooing is a BIG RED FLAG.
Unless he can improve on one or both he will not be able to play in many 4th qrts if the game is close. (in the playoffs)
I like DD and really hope he can improve.
I cannot stand the +\- BS for a game as an agruement. I don't care if your +\- is +1000, if you have to come off the court bc the other teams does not guard you bc of you offense, that is an issue.

That was never my argument. Dyson cannot play 4th quarters of playoff games, the Hawks are paying him to be their third best player starting next year. That is a problem. Hes been in the league several years and still cannot shoot. Thay is a problem.

Jose was absolutely exposed as a non-factor in the playoffs the last time we we there. Regular season guy only.
Jose had a couple of those goofy "off the bench" steals on Chris Paul and everyone elevated him to hero status
Jose was a high energy player that brought a spark off the bench on teams that were lead by low effort low energy players. He liked being here and endeared himself to the fans on and off the court. Nobody said Jose was a hall of famer, but he was good team player and a good Pel.
I'll never understand the hate Jose gets from Pels fans.

Please find me quoting that.
He certainly isnt being played in 4th quarters at this point. So it's not like you're winning the argument lol

Is not me saying he'll never be in a playoff rotation. I'm saying he doesnt belong. And I'm being proved right as we speak. He's been benched in the 4th quarter. All of his numbers are down vs regular season Dyson. You are grasping for straws.
Posted on 4/24/26 at 4:01 pm to whatiknowsofar
When you say he doesn’t belong on a backcourt of a playoff team or in a rotation, that means he shouldn’t be getting minutes in the playoffs. Like what happened in our playin games. That’s exactly what it means…
But here comes the spin….

Correct. It doesnt mean he'll never be in a rotation in the playoffs.
Hes not playing significant 4th quarter minutes. Hes not having a good series. Its a spin you're trying to create.

So you said he shouldn’t be in a playoff game at all but that doesn’t mean he would never be in the rotation? What the frick does that even mean?
Your head must hurt from all the spinning you do…
