Locked On Sports Atlanta

The Atlanta Hawks avoid an upset (and trap game) in lieu of getting revenge versus the Portland Trail Blazers in solid fashion at home in State Farm Arena on Wednesday evening, 120-106. The Hawks' bench gave a significant boost led by Dylan Windler (11 points) and Garrison Mathews (21 points). Atlanta Hawks forward Clint Capela tallied his 10th double-double in the current calendar month (most in...

Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs were able to get a big commitment from 5-star recruit Jared Curtis, who is part of the 2026 class. Carson Beck is scheduled to leave for the NFL in 2025. It leaves open the question who will be Beck’s replacement going forward. Tenitra Batiste, Jarvis Davis and Brian Genhardt talked about what that process looks like for Smart. Also, they discussed Justus Terry...

The Atlanta Hawks put together a historical run for the ages, a second half comeback that led to a home victory after trailing one of the best teams in the league by 30 points. On display, the ultimate team win led by contributions from everyone on the roster. It appeared that the Boston Celtics would effortlessly cruise to an easy win on Monday evening but not before countless converted shots fro...

Back in 2016, the Atlanta Falcons had one of their best drafts in team history with multiple guys starting on the defensive side of the ball in their rookie seasons. Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot will be tasked with trying to repeat that because of their needs headed into the 2024 NFL Draft. Tenitra Batiste, Jarvis Davis and Aaron Freeman talked about the type of strategies the Falcons’ brass n...

In perhaps the most well-balanced game on both sides of the ball that we've seen all season long, oozing with offensive firepower and confidence, the Atlanta Hawks appeared to have taken previous meeting results personal by making a statement and example out of its recent thorn in the side, divisional rival, Charlotte Hornets, 132-91. Guard Dejounte Murray led all scorers with 28 points, 12 assist...

In arguably the toughest game of the west coast road trip, the Atlanta Hawks were more than competitive... in fact, we saw a level of fight, confidence, fearlessness and counterpunches, ultimately resulting in a 128-115 score-blinding loss to arguably the best starting five and talent-loaded rosters in the NBA. One would be very hard-pressed to find anyone that believes Atlanta should hang their h...

Brian Snitker and the Atlanta Braves have named Spencer Strider the opening day starter against the hated Philadelphia Phillies. This breaks Max Fried’s streak of three straight. Tenitra Batiste, Maria Martin and Jarvis Davis talked about Snitker’s decision to name Strider the opening day starter. Also, they discussed Reynaldo Lopez taking over the fifth spot in the starting rotation. Secondly, Ra...

When the Atlanta Hawks traded John Collins away before this season, there was an assumption that Jalen Johnson would take over in his place. Johnson did much more than that, he has solidified himself as one of the most exciting young players on this roster. Tenitra Batiste, Jarvis Davis and Deshaun Tate talked about how the Hawks may have a conundrum when it comes to contract negotiations this sum...

The Georgia Bulldogs have gotten through their first week of spring practice and there are a couple of players that have the city of Athens buzzing. Kirby Smart is seeing early returns on Trevor Etienne and Colbie Young through the first week. Tenitra Batiste, Jarvis Davis and Brian Gebhardt talked about how this transfer class has the opportunity to make a big impact in year one. Secondly, they d...

Injury-plagued on the rear end of a back to back with injuries versus inarguably the best basketball player of this generation, LeBron James, the task was a bit to tall on the road versus the Los Angeles Lakers for the visiting Atlanta Hawks whom had just literally poured in all their efforts (and then some) a night prior versus a talent-heavy Los Angeles Clippers club.  To add fuel to the fire af...

The Atlanta Falcons took control of the headlines last week when they signed Kirk Cousins to a 4-year, 180 million dollar contract with 100 million guaranteed. Terry Fontenot and Raheem Morris, now that they have their quarterback situated, have a different set of expectations for this team in 2024. Tenitra Batiste, Aaron Freeman, Tori McElhaney and Jarvis Davis talked about exactly what those are...

On St. Patrick's Day evening in Hollywood, the visiting Atlanta Hawks had perhaps its most impressive showing of an NBA game this season with a dominant performance versus the LA Clippers, 110-93. In a game where Deandre Hunter outscored the entire Clippers bench by himself, the backcourt also took pride in limiting one of the best scorers this game has ever seen, James Harden (9 points). In a qui...

In a game on Friday evening that showcased a wide range of emotions... primarily, Atlanta Hawks Head Coach Quin Snyder returned back to Salt Lake City where he displayed plenty of success and a potential revenge game versus his former team for John Collins.  The Utah Jazz started their youngest lineup in over 22 years as a franchise and maybe more notably career-high scoring from Johnny Juzang and...

The Atlanta Falcons have been very busy ever since the legal tampering period started. Terry Fontenot and Raheem Morris both talked about quarterback being their number one priority. The Falcons then go on to sign Kirk Cousins to be their starting quarterback. Tyler Dunne got a chance to sit down with the Falcons general manager at the NFL Combine and he joined Jarvis to discuss.            Hosted...

The Atlanta Hawks have been decimated by injuries and Saadiq Bey added to that when we found out that he is out for the season with a torn ACL. Ronald Acuna is back! The battle between Reynaldo Lopez and Bryce Elder is starting to heat up. Tenitra Batiste, Maria Martin & Jarvis Davis talked about meanings of all these happenings around Atlanta. Secondly, Kirk Cousins was officially introduced to t...

Perhaps the most difficult stretch of the season has officially begun. The first of five games on a treacherous west coast road trip has concluded and is in the books after Portland's strong third quarter surge catapulted the Blazers past the Atlanta Hawks who has also suffered injuries to key contributors of their own.  While Dejounte Murray tallied his fifth career 40-point game (third versus Po...

Kirby Smart has to figure out how to get the Georgia Bulldogs back on pace to go for a third national championship as spring practice opens. With Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey gone, Smart will have his hands full trying to figure out how to replace so much production on the offensive side of the football. Tenitra, Jarvis & Brian talked about the big challenges that Smart faces with so many new gu...

The Atlanta Falcons have been able to figure out who they want at the quarterback spot. Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot got their man in Kirk Cousins. But Tenitra Batiste, Tori McElhaney, Jarvis Davis and Aaron Freeman started the show talking about what other positions the Falcons may pursue in free agency. Kirk Cousins is the quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. Cousins signed a four year deal...

It appeared clear that after a 3-game winning streak, the Atlanta Hawks would run out of gas. Atlanta met their match on Sunday evening versus a more superior (and healthy) New Orleans Pelicans. Led by their dominant star Zion Williamson and unexpected rotational piece, Trey Murphy, the Pels' size would prove to be too much en route to a lopsided loss for the home team Atlanta Hawks Where will/sho...

Led by nothing less than heroic efforts from Dejounte Murray and his 41-point contribution on the road in Memphis on Friday evening, the Atlanta Hawks start their weekend in celebratory fashion. Despite being short-handed, ATL is now on a 3-game winning streak and riding the confident & competitive wave. Though Atlanta had a rough first few minutes of the game, it was the 4th quarter where the Haw...

The Atlanta Falcons have been the favorites to land Justin Fields. Now, it seems like they are the favorites to land Kirk Cousins. Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot will have to do their due diligence to make sure they make the right decision. Tenitra Batiste, Maria Martin and Jarvis Davis talked about what a Kirk Cousins signing would mean for the Falcons. Secondly, they talked about Spencer Strid...

On Wednesday evening the short-handed Atlanta Hawks found a way yet again to overcome adversity and power through injuries to key contributors, willing their way to victory as conquerors over the Cleveland Cavaliers, 112-101 Entering the third quarter, Jalen Johnson went down with a sprained ankle that ultimately led to Cleveland's run of 40 third quarter points but Atlanta did not waiver and disp...

The Atlanta Hawks invade the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden for what is always considered an intense matchup with rival, New York Knicks. However, this meeting would be slightly different because although the names on the front of the uniforms were the same, the names on the back including the starting lineup and bench rotations were not. The Atlanta Hawks was without star player...

The Georgia Bulldogs wrapped things up in Indianapolis and now look ahead to their pro day next week. Ladd McConkey caught quite a few eyes in Indy, but Amarius Mims stole the whole show for the big guys on Sunday. Tenitra Batiste, Jarvis Davis and Brian Gebhardt talked about the ones that shined and guys like Brock Bowers and Kendall Milton who may have lost some of their luster. Secondly, with S...
