Atlanta Hawks big man Clint Capela took his disappointment to Twitter after the tally for the national TV games to be aired for the 2020-2021 NBA season has been released. The Hawks only have a grand total of one game that will be set on national television even after a productive offseason that is expected to flip the team's fortunes for the coming season.

The Swiss national tallied averages of 13.9 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 38 games played for the Houston Rockets last season before he was traded to the Hawks. He was eventually shipped off alongside veteran center Nene back in February of 2020 in exchange for swingman Robert Covington and forward Jordan Bell in a complex four-team trade.
Atlanta is coming off another dismal campaign last season after the team concluded the regular-season proceedings with a 20-47 record to place in the 14th spot of the Eastern Conference. Despite the Hawks' struggles, they have managed to find a handful of bright spots within the team.
Hawks lead guard Trae Young previously emerged to All-Star status while Kevin Huerter and John Collins all proved their value as part of the team's young core moving forward. During the offseason, the Hawks also acquired several tenured veterans which are expected to turn them into a playoff team in the upcoming season.
Their new pieces in Rajon Rondo, Kris Dunn, Danilo Gallinari, and Bogdan Bogdanovic will all contribute to help elevate the team from obscurity and lead them to greater heights moving forward. For Clint Capela and the rest of the team, it is up to them to turn the disrespect into much-needed support as they prove to turn many talking heads wrong in the upcoming season.
