In the first of back-to-back games in Toronto, our Atlanta Hawks traveled north to compete against one of the league's lengthiest and fast break efficient rosters, ultimately resulting in a 135-128 loss.

Wednesday's matchup featured former-Hawk Dennis Schroder and one of the league's youngest rising stars, Scottie Barnes.

As rumors have recently swirled around the rumor mill in recent weeks, we could be looking at a future-Hawk in Pascal Siakam, would you be open to the idea? If so, at what expense?

How did Bogdan Bogdanovic follow-up his career performance?

How do you grade Atlanta's defense versus a team that ranks top 3 in the NBA in fast break points and has a clear size advantage?

What are your realistic expectations of what you need to see to feel confident about the team considering absences from DeAndre Hunter and Jalen Johnson?

Also, Tenitra Batiste and DeShaun Tate will share their thoughts on consistently competitive versus consistently inconsistent including DeShaun's reasons why HawksNation should remain cautiously optimistic despite losing 7 of the last 8 games and zero wins in the month of December.
