A few thoughts coming up after the Hawks’ fourth-straight win, a 109-100 effort over the Pacers at Philips Arena: – The Hawks were short several players tonight, including normal starters Josh Smith and Devin Harris.

A few thoughts coming up on the Hawks’ 102-94 road win over the Cavaliers in Cleveland on Friday night: – A tip of the cap to Jeff Teague, who scored a career-high 27 points and dished out 8 assists in the win. Hawks coach Larry Drew has been on Teague of late to play... »

A few thoughts on the Hawks’ 100-92 home loss to the Thunder on Wednesday night: – There are no moral victories, but I give the Hawks credit for fighting tonight. After a tough OT game in DC last night, down 17 in the 3rd quarter, it would have been easy to just pack it... »
