Is he a European foreman? Why is he showing? Why is a guard showing on a guard? Look at that, no effort,” Beverley said, his tone part ridicule, part exasperation. The comments arrived after the Hawks fell 138-118 to the Toronto Raptors in a game Atlanta never really recovered from. </p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://twitter.com/ATLHawks?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ATLHawks</a> repost for me.

RJ Barrett led the Raptors with 25 points, and Toronto poured it on in the third quarter, opening a gap the Hawks couldn’t close. Trae Young finished with 22 points and five assists but shot 5-of-14 from the floor and missed seven attempts from deep, per the official ESPN box score. The numbers underline what Beverley’s clip accused: offense without the defensive accountability necessary to win tight games.  </p><p>Beverley has never been shy about calling out teammates or opponents, and his take lands differently inside the locker room. The Hawks are still trying to find cohesion after roster changes and new rotations. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/atlanta-hawks/hawks-news-tare-young-honest-season-opener-embarrassing">When your defense falls asleep on assignments, and your opponents post a 45-point quarter, the result is predictable</a>.

Fans and analysts will pick apart the clip and the film.</p><p>If anything positive exists for Atlanta, it’s one game in a long season. Still, after a blowout that produced public finger-pointing from a veteran like Beverley, the Hawks can expect this headline, and the scrutiny that comes with it, to stick around until they prove otherwise.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They are led by one of the most talented players in the history of the league in the form of A’ja Wilson, who became the first-ever WNBA star to win four MVP titles this season.</p><p>However, the Aces also have multiple other superstars they rely on. Their “big 3” also includes the likes of Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young, alongside the likes of center NaLyssa Smith, Kiah Stokes and Kierstan Bell, all of whom were rotated as far as the starting lineup was concerned through the season.</p><p>However, what set the Aces apart for much of the season, especially during the playoffs, was their bench strength. While their starters undoubtedly set the tone, the likes of Dana Evans, Jewell Loyd and stars such as Megan Gustafson ensure that levels do not drop even when they need to come off.</p><p>That also proved crucial in the WNBA Finals, with the duo of Evans and Loyd alone adding 97 points off the bench in four games against the Mercury. While that does not suggest the Aces are capable of holding their own in the NBA as well, they can certainly prove to be a handful for any basketball team out there.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Malik has worked in entertainment and sports, and he specializes in the NBA and NFL.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Golden State Warriors</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Golden State Warriors and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-jonathan-kuminga-all-smiles-solving-contract-dispute">Jonathan Kuminga had a summer-long standoff</a> that finally came to a conclusion with him signing a two-year deal. For some time, Kuminga believed he was worth more than what the Warriors were offering, and this may have been because of the flashes that he had shown during his time with the team.</p><p>There’s nothing wrong with having confidence, and Patrick Beverley seems to be on Kuminga’s side. On the Pat Bev Podcast, Beverley <a href="https://youtu.be/VBxL1OIE7PY?t=617" rel="noopener">was asked</a> if he believes that Kuminga is wrong to believe that he’s almost 1A to Stephen Curry.</p><p>“I think you’re supposed to have that attitude,” Beverley said. “I’m 6’9 athletic. I’ve played in games, huge games, I’m dunking on mother f—–rs. My skill set, I’m getting better at the three, my handle is elite. I can play pick and roll. I can be the roller in pick and roll. I can defend your best player, I can get it off the rim and push it. I can post it. I can play off Steph Curry, h— yeah.”</p><p>Kuminga does have a unique skillset, but it’s hard to believe that anybody in the organization thinks he’s close to Curry as far as pecking order. Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green definitely come before him after all that they do for the team, while Kuminga is still trying to find out his role on the team.</p><h2><b>Jonathan Kuminga still finding right fit with Warriors</b></h2><p>Though Kuminga has a unique skillset, there are still some areas in his game that are not all the way polished. One of them is his 3-point shooting, which can hurt the Warriors in certain lineups. Last season, a lineup of Kuminga, Butler, and Green was not effective, because neither of the three demand a lot of attention on the perimeter. Head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-steve-kerr-jonathan-kuminga-lineups-draymond-green-jimmy-butler">Steve Kerr tried the same lineup</a> in their preseason opener, and was sort of the same thing.</p><p>“It still feels to me like if we’re trying to play Jimmy-JK-Draymond, just from the other night, immediately it was the spacing was not great, and it puts pressure on our offense to really have to execute,” Kerr said after the game.</p><p>If Kerr can find the best lineups to put Kuminga in to succeed, that should help his play and the overall team’s performance. The preseason will be a good way to keep finding those lineups that work.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

What started out as some ribbing has devolved into full-blown verbal warfare, with the latest chapter of this smoldering beef featuring Beverley’s rebuttal to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/atlanta-hawks/hawks-news-trae-young-drops-mic-ruthless-rebuttal-patrick-beverley">Young’s savage, yet calm, response</a> to the former All-Defensive team guard’s clowning of the Hawks star.</p><p>On the latest episode of the Pat Bev Podcast, he doubled down on his take that Young is a franchise cancer of sorts and that he has the opposite of the Midas touch.</p><p>“Everyone that sees Trae Young gets fired. They get thrown out the building by their collar. Players come, they see you, they get traded. Coaches come, they coach you, they get traded. GMs come, they govern the team, and then they get fired. People are scared to play in Atlanta,” Beverley claimed.</p><p>There have been plenty of rumors over the years regarding Young and his inability to get along with a few key figures on the team. The Hawks star did have some reported disagreements with former head coach Nate McMillan, and there were some who claimed that he and John Collins didn’t exactly see eye to eye when the highflying forward was on the team.</p><p>Perhaps what Beverley’s saying is true. And it’s not like he is required to reveal his sources, as the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/atlanta-hawks/hawks-news-trae-young-wants-patrick-beverley-money-mouth-stating-source-diss">Hawks star implored him to</a>; a journalist’s creed is to never do so. However, there isn’t much evidence to substantiate Beverley’s claims anyway.</p><p>Maybe Beverley’s rants regarding Young is simply him lashing out and feeling offended after the Hawks star told him that he’s not exactly in a place to criticize the effort players put into the All-Star Game for he never made it to those festivities (he’s never been close).</p><h2><b>Hawks star Trae Young’s beef with Patrick Beverley is so random</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Beverely-attempts-to-guard-Young.jpg"><figcaption>Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Beverley did ruffle many players’ feathers with the play he played when he was still active in the NBA. He picks up opposing ballhandlers 94 feet away from the basket and aims to make their life as miserable as possible. And from 2018 to 2024, Young and Beverley have definitely had their fair share of battles, but nothing to suggest anything that would result in their fiery exchanges as of late.</p><p>The Hawks star’s beef with Beverley, who’s already out of the league, is a sign that the NBA has to return very soon so the news cycle can return to much more important things.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
