  • Commissioner Adam Silver said Tuesday that the league has discussed having players receive Colvin vaccines to educate and influence the public regarding it's safety and effectiveness.

  • Richard, is this something you'd like to see the league Dio?

  • You know, it's tough to say players jumping, jumping forward to jump in the line, But I do understand that in our community, you know, there's not a lot of trust when it comes to these things.

  • So I think if the players and the players association Michelle Roberts believes in it, then I think it's actually a pretty good thing.

  • Yeah, I agree.

  • I mean, NBA players are role models and there very influential.

  • So if they trusted yeah, then you know, let's see, I'm willing to take it.

  • Hey, I could be that guy E I think, Scary man.

  • Yeah, absolutely.

  • I think Look, the whole quote jumping the line or whatever it is, it's not jumping the line.

  • If it's something the FDA wants you to do to set an example and possibly get a bunch of other people vaccinated, we'll see C J.

  • McCollum out at least four weeks with a fractured foot McCollum averaging 26.7 points a game this year.

  • Five assists without him.

  • Yesterday, lasers were blown out by the Spurs by 21.

  • Paul.

  • This is what you were talking about.

  • Richard.

  • Do you agree with Paul?

  • What do you think?

  • Their chances away.

  • All star level.

  • The Shark.

  • C J.

  • Christian James, My guy.

  • Christian James's Shark.

  • But yeah, without Nurkic, without him, it's just going to be a tough stretch.

  • And they're not like they don't have much of a cushion right now with the Shark bond.

  • That's the injury that could take a little longer than four weeks.

  • A fracture of my foot and it took about 68 and there's no condition and just kind of a little longer than expected.

  • All right, let's talk Trae Young to rebound shy of a triple double in yesterday's win over the Wolves.

  • Much needed win, by the way, guys for Atlanta.

  • The Hawks are two and six in their last eight games after starting the season four and one.

  • Some of that is due to trays early struggles.

  • He's currently averaging about seven fewer points a game than he did last season and shooting his percentage is down as well.

  • He's also attempting four fewer shots per game.

  • So Paul, some of this is adjustment, right?

  • You got a bunch of new players on the team.

  • He's also their best facilitator.

  • So he's trying to figure out kind of how to do everything that that team needs him to do.

  • We've seen him in his rookie season, made a big adjustment after the first few months.

  • What does he have to do now to adjust?

  • Well, he has to get through these tough stretches.

  • I mean, he's just shooting the ball poorly That comes and goes, and Trey has to continue to be trade.

  • He needs to be that go to score, who's looking, staying aggressive, getting to the line and he does a great job and mix it up with his balance between passing and scoring.

  • So it's just he's in a slump right now, but he has to continue to stay aggressive.

  • I mean, taking less shots is not him.

  • He has to go full throttle where he's giving him 25 or 30 at night and 10 11 assists for them to be successful.

  • Yeah, I think it's a cool thing about trades that you get to watch the maturing process that he goes through.

  • It's like, Yo, no one's going to be hot for 72 games.

  • No one's going to be consistent.

  • You're gonna have weeks.

  • You're gonna have months.

  • You're gonna have whatever but to watch him grow and figure it out.

  • I think that's the most exciting thing for the Atlanta Hawks fans that you know that they're dedicated to winning.

  • They put a ton of talent around him, and it's just watching him figure it out.

  • So I like to Paul's point.

  • I think they're gonna play better as the season progresses.

  • But he's got to keep that aggression.

  • It doesn't matter.

  • Well, first of all, Dame, I would say, And Steph hot for 72 games.

  • Shooters.

  • That's not everybody.

  • E Yeah, you're great, some of the greatest of all time and again, they weren't like that At 23 years old, of course.

  • Yeah, and I mean for you guys in general, for a guy who's been tapped and Paul, you were in this situation, you were young and yet still expected to lead the team so much attention on your shoulders.

  • What's the best advice you have in general for bouncing all that.

  • Just you just really got a ignore the naysayers.

  • You gotta ignore me.

  • Ignore Richard E.

  • Just just go out here and play because, you know, I got talked about what we're losing, putting up numbers, struggling shooting, and I never let it.

  • I let it go in one ear and out the other, and you use it for motivation.

  • This kid will be fun.

  • He's gonna be an all star this year.

  • You watch E.
