Howard’s 46 Wasted, Hawks Stun Magic 103-93
For those who remember last season’s playoffs, the Atlanta Hawks were eliminated early by the Orlando Magic – and quite easily, at that.

Johnson-less Hawks Embarrass Cavaliers At Quicken 99-83
The Atlanta Hawks were without the services of leading scorer Joe Johnson due to a sprained thumb suffered on Saturday, prior to their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers Sunday at Quicken Loans Arena.

Bulls Continue Their Dominant Ways, Crush Hawks 114-81

Johnson’s 14 Fourth Quarter Points Help Hawks Remain Unbeaten, Bounce Wizards 99-95
In the NBA’s Southeastern Conference, it is pretty easy to forget the Atlanta Hawks, especially with the Miami Heat and their Big Three of Lebron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and the Orlando Magic with Dwight Howard and company. After Saturday night’s game between the Hawks and Washington Wizards, the rest of the conference [...]
2011 NBA All-Star Game Reserves – Who Deserves A Nod?
The beautiful – and contentious – thing about selecting reserves for both the Western and Eastern conferences for the NBA All-Star game is that you cannot please everyone in terms of who is selected and snubbed. Yet the current system that’s in place will be around presumably for some time to come. Having said that, I [...]
