Hawks
More Evidence…
The Hawks are slowly turning doubters into believers. More and more analysts are labelling Atlanta as “contenders” these days and the evidence supporting the label continues to grow. Last night’s win over Golden State Warriors showcased the Hawks scoring depth and versatility. Atlanta scored 127 points and Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford only had 24... »
Treat ‘em All the Same

SECOND HALF NEEDS FIRST HALF PUSH
The Atlanta Hawks got off to a good start of basketball in the first half of 2009-2010. The team has found an identity, has plenty of three point shooters, loves to run, and has a guy off the bench that can completely change a game. Last year at this time, Orlando had shifted gears... »
Hawks Avoid Dealing with the Camby-Man
Thanks to Tuesday’s trade between the Clippers and Blazers the Hawks will not have to worry about Marcus Camby dominating the boards like he did earlier this month in Atlanta (20 rebounds on Feb. 3).

Valentine’s Day Poetry from Dallas
Along with the 80,000-plus at Cowboys Stadium, Joe and Al are spending Valentine’s Day doing something other than a traditional candle-lit dinner. The guys over at “The Ball Don’t Lie” on Yahoo!
