Atlanta Hawks

Raja Bell scored 24 points and the Charlotte Bobcats looked nothing like the NBA's lowest scoring team in beating the road-weary Atlanta Hawks 103-83 on Friday night.

By Associated Press Raja Bell scored 24 points and the Charlotte Bobcats looked nothing like the NBA's lowest scoring team in beating the road-weary Atlanta Hawks 103-83 on Friday night.

For a night, the roles were reversed. The low-scoring Bobcats were suddenly efficient on offense, while the high-scoring Hawks turned in a stinker that led star Joe Johnson to question his teammates. Raja Bell shook off his painful left wrist to score 24 points, Ronald "Flip" Murray peste...

By Associated Press Jamal Crawford scored 27 points off the bench and the Atlanta Hawks outlasted the Portland Trail Blazers 97-91 on Tuesday night.

By Sekou Smith LaMarcus Aldridge will get a chance to get after Josh Smith (hand reaching for the ball) and the Hawks tonight at the Rose Garden. A knee injury won't keep him on the sideline (and major props to my man Salim Stoudamire - corner right - who is one of Portland's All-Time finest).

By Associated Press Kobe Bryant had 41 points and the Lakers pulled away from the Hawks on Sunday.

Kobe Bryant had 41 points and eight rebounds, Andrew Bynum added 21 points and the Los Angeles Lakers pulled away with 18 consecutive points in the third quarter for a 118-110 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday night.

By spence Caron Butler bruised his left knee late in the first half in Atlanta, the injury added to the insult of a thorough 100-89 whipping at the hands of the Hawks. Washington led by 10 points in the first quarter, but the Hawks went on a run to take the lead before the end of [...]

By Sekou Smith Jamal Crawford and Hawks coach Mike Woodson are on the same page now after a brief meeting of the minds after Crawford played just 12 minutes in the season opener. A prolific scorer sitting on the bench for most of a track meet that ended in a 120-109 win for the Hawks didn’t make much sense to an...

Joe Johnson scored 25 points, Al Horford had 24 and the Atlanta Hawks finally played some defense in an offensive shootout, pulling away in the fourth quarter for a season-opening 120-109 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.

By Sekou Smith Al Horford sat on a corner table with wires hanging from his ankle (courtesy of a twisting in Friday’s loss in Orlando) and Mike Bibby joined him later on wire duty (on his non-shooting wrist) after jamming it during a drill in practice.

By Sekou Smith With a group of reporters in his office 90 minutes before the opening tip of Monday’s game against Charlotte at Philips Arena, Hawks coach Mike Woodson admitted as much, when asked when he was going to unleash his starters for more than 20 hot minutes (by time you finish here they should be d...

By Sekou Smith He suffered the injury on the Hawks’ practice court Tuesday while playing in a pickup game with several of his Hawks teammates and other pros in town working out in anticipation of training camp. Smith said he’ll be fine for the start of training camp Sept. 29, but he’ll spend the days leading...

By Sekou Smith HAWKSVILLE – In the pantheon of awards Al Horford has won during his basketball career, being named Monday’s MVP of the John “Beans” Beckett Invitational probably doesn’t rank anywhere near the top (some people are into NCAA titles and stuff like that I guess).

By ESPN.com news services Joe Smith has agreed to a one-year deal with the Atlanta Hawks for the veteran's minimum, a source told ESPN's Ric Bucher on Friday.

By Sekou Smith Joe Johnson in a Hawks uniform for a few more years sounds pretty good to most folks. The Hawks are talking to Johnson's camp about an extension. HAWKSVILLE - Might the Hawks be interested in keeping captain and All-Star Joe Johnson off of the robust free agent market of 2010? It seems so.

By Sekou Smith A 6-10, 225-pound veteran of 14 NBA seasons, Smith showed he has plenty left in the tank against the Hawks in the Eastern Conference semifinals, averaging 4.8 rebounds, 3.3 points and 1.2 blocks in a little over 21 minutes per game. He’s got that “old man” strength that …

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) A lot of excuses from the Hawks fans. Some are valid, some aren't.

Some of the Hawks fans saw that the bad calls went both ways. What a...

By Lang Whitaker • People who play basketball at Duke and then become good players in the NBA are liars. • I, for one, am cheering for Darius Miles to return, play ten games and count an extra $27 million against the Portland salary cap.

By FLCeltsFan Its funny because all Boston fans think that Tony Allen is the key to shutting down Joe. Despite their 66 wins I believe the Hawks have the Celtics at a breaking point. They can come out and crush their spirits if the Hawks are on fire out of the gates. The west has a bunch of GOOD teams. Only one of them have ever won a title... That being the Spurs of course. No, truly great team would have lost 2 playoff games to this Hawks team. It's good that the Hawks won 2 games, but this Boston team ain't great. Boston will end it in game 6. Boston doesn't deserve to win no title. If they do, it's an injustice. Horford gets slapped in the face, the same thing he did against Garnett, no Celtic gets a tech, but Woodson does.

By FLCeltsFan So far the Hawks have been used, they've been abused and punked in Games 1 and 2. The team has sucked. Well you know what.... I don't really give a **** because this one is in the ATL and things go down a little differently in Atlanta Because Boston must understand one thing. Sometimes you're the bug and sometimes you're the windshield and it's someone else's turn to get squashed Saturday.

By FLCeltsFan Here are comments found around the Hawks boards during their game with the Celtics. It's funny that this game gave some Hawks fans hope that they can beat the Celtics and it showed others that they have no hope. All I know is that the Hawks are a tough team with young and athletic players and we better take them seriously. We gotta fight for our lives tonight and show Boston that we arent an easy first round opponent. But it is not like the big 3 are playoff studs. We know what Duncan, Billups, Wade, Kobe, and Lebron can do in the playoffs, KG, Paul, and Ray have all had their problems in the playoffs. So nothing is for certain.

As I blinked myself back into reality, I realized my dream had become a reality: the Atlanta Hawks had actually traded for a veteren point guard with decent ability and not given up either of the Josh’s to do it. Atlanta today traded Shelden Williams, Lorenzen Wright, Tyronn Lue, Anthony Jo...

Al Horford has been exactly what Atlanta has needed, dominating on the boards and even chipping in a little on the offensive end. Zaza Pachulia and Sheldon Williams have both filled in adequately for Horford, but it would be nice to have someone a little closer to his abilities backing him u...

Hawks management has to decide which young players they're going to bank on for the future, and which ones they're willing to give up in trades to fill the voids at the one and five. Possible goners include, in no order of likelihood, Josh Smith, Josh Childress, Marvin Williams, and Shelden...
