The Hawks host the Lakers tomorrow night in what should be a packed house at the Highlight Factory. Over the past decade the crowd would have been flooded with Kobe Bryant jerseys, but the ratio has dwindled recently as more Atlantans have been proud to show their Hawks colors during one of the season’s... »

As the end of the regular season approaches, the Hawks want to fine tune their machine as much as they can. Being at full stride as the playoffs begin should be the top priority for this team.  There are a few glitches that show up against good and bad teams that the Hawks should look... »

Josh Smith and Steve Smith will be put to work this afternoon at Lenox Mall in Buckhead, at the all-new Official NBA Shop at Champs Sports.

The injury bug has missed biting the Hawks all season long and now has shown up to nibble on  major components of the team.  Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby are a bit wounded as the Hawks face the Nets, which is new to a team with fewer than 20 man games missed this season.... »

Joe is battling a sore Achilles’ and Mike Bibby is also questionable (back).... »
