Hawks are 2–8 in their last 10 games

Atlanta has dropped to 2–8 over its last 10 games, including back-to-back losses to the Bulls (152–150 and 126–123) during this skid. The frustrating part is they’re not losing because nobody’s producing. Jalen Johnson has been on a ridiculous all-around run, while Trae Young is finding his rhythm again — but the team keeps bleeding late leads and can’t consistently close. And the bigger picture looks rough: Atlanta just locked in Dyson Daniels on a 4-year, $100M extension, but the offense around the stars hasn’t stabilized, and the “we’ll be better with internal growth” bet hasn’t hit the way fans hoped. Is this just a brutal midseason slump, or is the roster construction simply not good enough to survive cold stretches? #NBA #AtlantaHawks #JalenJohnson #TraeYoung #DysonDaniels #ZaccharieRisacher #NBADiscussion #Basketball

Rudy Gobert has been DPOY level this season

The Wolves started shaky, but they’ve climbed back to top-5 in the west — and the constant is still Rudy Gobert anchoring everything on defense. Per Cleaning the Glass on/off + shot-profile tracking, Gobert’s impact this year has been absurd: the defense improves by roughly 14 points per 100 with him on the floor, opponents take way fewer rim attempts when he’s out there, their efficiency drops, and he’s even suppressing free throws — plus his rebounding has ramped up in December. He’s 33, still vacuuming boards, still erasing the paint, still making Minnesota’s entire scheme viable — all while the DPOY conversation about him feels weirdly quiet. Are people just tired of giving him credit? #NBA #Timberwolves #RudyGobert #DPOY #Defense #NBAStats #BasketballTalk
