As we move closer to the start of the regular season, we know the Hawks will have to trim some players to get at least to the league maximum of 15 roster spots. Tuesday the Hawks got a little bit closer to that number, as they requested waivers on guards Aaron Miles and Frank... »

Fox Sports South and SportSouth announced today that they will be broadcasting 60 Hawks games in HD this season. Know what that means? Time to break out that rainy-day fund and get that new HDTV you’ve been craving. As Ferris Beuller once said, “It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly... »

In news that probably doesn’t surprise anyone, the Hawks have picked up the 2010-11 option on Al Horford. Big Al (who’s now on Twitter!) has been an anchor down low for the Hawks for the past two seasons, and hopefully will be for years to come. Horford and company fell to the Detroit Pistons... »

A lot to like about last night’s 108-102 preseason-opening win over the New Orleans Hornets. The starters played well together, there were plenty of minutes for the reserves, and no one got hurt – that’s about as good as it gets for an exhibition. In particular, I liked a few things: - I liked... »

After beating up on each other in intra-squad scrimmaging the past few days, the Hawks finally get to put their game unis on and face enemy fire as they host the Hornets tonight at Philips Arena. What are you looking forward to the most? For me, it’s a chance to see the new guys... »

For those who didn’t get a chance to watch the Hawks in action yesterday as part of the NBA’s Real Training Camp series, here is an edited down version of the practice courtesy of NBA.com: »

Did everyone catch the Hawks practice live today as part of the NBA’s Real Training Camp series? If you didn’t the footage of it should be live at some point later today (click the link above), or if you have NBATV you can watch a replay of it tonight at 5:00 ET. For those... »

I was out of town over the weekend, so I didn’t see any of the scrimmaging yesterday at training camp. I understand the action was fast-paced and competitive, with Jamal Crawford scoring a basket late in OT to give the subs a victory over the starters. I’d say the starters took it personally, based... »

I’ve received a bunch of questions about this via twitter, so I’ll assume this is news you can use. The Hawks annual open practice, long a favorite of mine, has been given an official date and time. Saturday, Oct. 10, from 11:30am-1:00pm, the Hawks will take the floor at Philips Arena for a practice... »

There is a good reason why fans aren’t allowed to come to training camp, and it has nothing to do with being a distraction to the players or perhaps giving away the team’s secrets. It’s because training camp is boring. Yeah that’s right, I said it. I want to see some scrimmages! I want... »
