Postgame Thoughts: Teague, Horford Power Hawks
A few thoughts after tonight’s 98-90 win over the Bucks: - Not enough can be said about the play of Jeff Teague tonight. When he’s on, he’s on, and tonight he was definitely on. He scored 27 points, hit four three-pointers and handed out 11 assists. The Hawks seem to go as he goes.... »
Postgame Thoughts: Hawks Fall to Scorching-Hot Mavs
A few thoughts coming up on the Hawks’ 127-113 loss to the Mavericks Monday night at Philips Arena: – This was a very strange game. The Hawks shot 56% from the field, dished out 26 assists, won the points in the paint battle and outscored the Mavs 21-9 in fastbreak points. And lost by... »
Postgame Thoughts: Hawks Get Biggest Conference Road Win of Season
A few thoughts after tonight’s 105-93 win over the Nets: - It was clear the Hawks wanted to establish the paint tonight, playing through Al Horford from the get-go. The big man had a game-high 22 points on 11-21 shooting. The 21 shots is what I loved. Coach Drew had a plan to get... »
Postgame Thoughts: Hawks Gain Revenge On Suns
A few thoughts coming up on the Hawks’ 107-94 win over the Suns at Philips Arena: – This is what you call a professional win. The Suns are just not a very good basketball team right now, but the Hawks asserted themselves fairly early, and cruised to a double-digit win without much muss or... »
Postgame Thoughts: Hawks Show Heart In Must-Win
A few thoughts after tonight’s 96-92 win over the Lakers: - We knew this would be a tough game without Jeff Teague, Josh Smith, DeShawn Stevenson and Zaza Pachulia, and it certainly was. The Lakers came from 14 down to take the lead in the second half, but this was truly a team win... »
Postgame Thoughts: Heat Simply on Another Level
A few thoughts after tonight’s 98-81 loss to the Heat: - Kyle Korver was able to extend his three-point streak in the first quarter for the second straight game. How long do we think this thing will go Hawks fans? He’s at 56 right now. - Once again, the Hawks turned the ball over... »
Postgame Thoughts: Hawks’ Offense Stalls In Loss To Nets
A few thoughts after tonight’s 93-80 loss to the Nets: - The Hawks looked tired on the second night of a back-to-back after overtime yesterday. They shot only 42 percent, but that numbers was hovering in the 30′s for much of the night. - Kyle Korver needed more than 46 minutes last night to... »
Postgame Thoughts: Another One Down to the Wire vs. Celtics
A few thoughts after tonight’s 107-102 OT loss to the Celtics: - There is something about these Hawks-Celtics games. Don’t know if it’s just the rivalry, the fact that both teams have rallied back from double-digit, 2nd-half deficits to each pick up a win in this seasons’ series or what… but I like it.... »
Postgame Thoughts: Hawks Happy to be Home
A few thoughts after tonight’s 107-96 win over the 76ers: - Boy did the Hawks need to get home. After three straight tough road losses, Atlanta bounced back in the comforts of Philips Arena nicely. They had a few advantages – the Sixers coming off a back-to-back and having injuries to Nick Young and... »
Postgame Thoughts: Hawks Can’t Keep Up With Running Nuggets
A few thoughts after tonight’s 104-88 loss to the Nuggets: - This was a recipe set up for disaster from the get-go. The Hawks were coming off a road game against one of the hottest teams in basketball in Los Angeles, had to fly into Denver in the middle of the night, turn around... »
