Winning Ugly by 18
They say that winning ugly is a staple of good teams in the NBA. So what do they say when you win ugly… by 18 points? At times the Hawks got sloppy during Wednesday night’s home opener at the Highlight Factory, but don’t let that take away from the times that they looked like... »
Tuesday’s Training Camp Update
The Hawks had originally scheduled for two workouts on Tuesday, but Coach Drew and his staff elected to hold one long session instead. The team started practice at 11 am and the last player (newcomer Jannero Pargo) didn’t leave the court until almost 3 pm. The big news of the day was the signing/arrival... »
Small Bite from the Injury Bug
Word is out that Joe Johnson did not travel with the team for tonight’s game in New Jersey, and while it hasn’t officially been ruled out that he could join the team for Wednesday’s game in Toronto, it certainly isn’t likely.

No excuses, just poor execution. One... »
A New Week, Time for a New Streak
The Hawks started off last week in first place. This week, the Hawks begin the week with the best record in the league. Not bad. While no one was happy about the loss in New Orleans over the weekend or the seven game winning streak ending, no one was in panic mode either. Jamal... »
Defense Sets Stage for Heroics
Everyone will remember Joe Johnson’s 3-pointers and dramatic drive to the basket. They stood up and cheered when Smoove sealed the win in overtime with a jam. What shouldn’t be lost in the commotion is the defensive frenzy that started the quarter and gave the offense enough time to find its rhythm. It was... »
Blowout Not Blown Off
Ok Vince Carter and Dwight Howard both shot 90 percent from the field, half-man, almost perfect, also went 5-5 from the land of three. The Hawks had only 13 assists for the game and shot 37 percent from the field. It was bad. Down by 40 points bad. 123-86 Orlando bad. To make things... »
