A few thoughts coming up on the Hawks’ 101-90 loss to the Sixers Friday night at Philips Arena: – Every season there will be games like this. The shots aren’t falling, the opponents are scoring at will, and every loose ball seems to wind up in someone else’s hands. It happens to every team,... »

Postgame Thoughts: Hawks TCOB Against Cavs
A few thoughts coming up on the Hawks’ workmanlike 102-94 victory over the Cavaliers at Philips Arena: – This wasn’t the prettiest game.

Rooting Interests: Pacers, Celtics in Action
As Jim Morrison once said, “The West is the best.” Let’s hope that is the case tonight, as the Celtics and Pacers both head out of town for road games in Western Conference cities. Boston, licking their wounds from last night’s rout at the hands of the Knicks, heads to Minnesota to take on... »

A few thoughts coming up on the Hawks’ 97-88 win over the Magic Saturday night at Philips Arena: – Chalk one up for perseverance. A night after the Hawks’ bench players scored 60 points in the loss in Boston, Ivan Johnson came off the bench to match his career high with 21 points. Oh,... »

Postgame Thoughts: Hawks Can’t Stop Inside-Outside Game of Portland
A few thoughts after tonight’s 104-93 loss to the Blazers: - Al Horford continues to have big game after big game.
