A few thoughts coming up on the Hawks’ 98-93 loss to the Spurs Saturday night at Philips Arena: – It was appropriate that the Spurs would be the Hawks’ opponent on the day they found out that Lou Williams would miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. GM Danny Ferry came... »

Bad news for the Hawks came Saturday afternoon, after an MRI revealed Lou Williams had torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during Friday night’s game against the Nets in Brooklyn. While a torn ACL is no longer the kind of career-threatening injury it once was, it still requires pretty extensive recovery time... »

A few thoughts after tonight’s 94-89 loss to the Nets: -  The question of the year has been “Who is out tonight?” After learning Al Horford was out with a hamstring/calf injury, the Hawks lost Lou Williams to a knee sprain in the first half.  Morrow and Stevenson, who have been nagged by injuries... »

A few thoughts coming up on the Hawks’ 109-95 win over the Nets Wednesday night at Philips Arena: – You knew the Hawks would respond after Monday’s loss in Chicago, and respond they did. Clearly determined and focused from the get-go, the Hawks led from wire-to-wire in picking up the win over the Nets,... »

A few thoughts after tonight’s 97-58 loss to the Bulls: - Where do we go from here?  Up, hopefully.  A tough two weeks for the Hawks hopefully has hit rock bottom, which means the tide will begin to turn - First quarters continue to be a nightmare for the Hawks away from the Highlight... »

A few quick thoughts after tonight’s 93-83 loss to the Wizards: - The Hawks continue to have defensive issues in the first quarter, particularly on the road.

A few thoughts on the Hawks’ much-needed 103-95 come-from-behind win over the Jazz Friday night at Philips Arena: – For nearly 3 quarters Friday night, the Hawks recent woes seemed certain to continue. The defense could do nothing to stop Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson, and the offense couldn’t get untracked. Then with 1:35... »

For every home game this season, we’ll be gathering some intel on the opposing team from someone who knows them best — a team employee, a rival blogger, beat writer or broadcaster. For the Hawks’ home game Friday night against the Jazz, we reached out to the voice of the Jazz, David Locke, for his take... »

by Jaryd Wilson A few thoughts after Wednesday night’s 99-83 loss to the Cavaliers: – Great to see Devin Harris back on the floor tonight. The Hawks have had very few games with 14 available bodies this season, so hopefully this is a sign that the injury bug is finally moving on. – Larry... »

A few thoughts coming up on the Hawks’ 108-103 loss to the Timberwolves in Minnesota: – The Hawks showed a lot of grit rallying time and again against the Timberwolves in this game, but like in the loss in Detroit, they’ve got to find a way to avoid getting into big holes early. Still... »
