I go to a lot of Hawks games, so I'd say Al Horford and Paul Millsap from the Jazz," stated Lawal. "Just the way they play the game, with their length, explosiveness, and the way they rebound the basketball. I think I can bring those qualities to the ...

 NY The candidates: HAWKS — For Josh Smith ($10.8M) and Speedy Claxton ($5.2M). This is only if the Hawks take Charles Barkley's advice to unload Smith and fully hand the team over to Joe Johnson. Zach slides right in at the four next to Al Horford, ...

 GA - Zydrunas Ilgauskas Josh Smith may have 1.5 technicals. But if Josh can control his game and emotions, he has the athleticism to eat up Mr. Anderson. And he needs to for a Hawks victory. A very close to healthy Marvin Williams and Al Horford. No triple double for LeBron. ...

By Herija Green In addition to Smith, Marvin Williams finally showed some of the potential that made him the second overall pick, and Al Horford is the real deal.

By J.E. Skeets Reasons for hope? Players improve, year to year, until they're in their late 20s when they plateau. And Al Horford, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams will improve.

Other than Joe Johnson (16 points, 5-for-17), no other Hawks starter reached double-figures: Al Horford (8 points, 3-for-12), Marvin Williams (7 points, 3-for-...

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 Boston is surely flustered and playing like thugs. We're seeing the true colors of these 'class' guys on the Celtics. I will be the first to give it to him, Mike Woodson has done a great job with coaching and adjustments since game one. If only Horford hadn't taunted Pierce... Then maybe the Hawks could have stopped Pierce... Take that you cocky Celtics fans! Screw Boston.....Joe just killed their defense haha. Also from a Celtics fan) Great game guys. See you in Boston.

By FLCeltsFan The Celtics flew to Atlanta and apparently left their defense in Boston. There was no sight of the league's best defense in this game as the Celtics allowed the Hawks to shoot 47% for the game and 56% from beyond the arc. Apparently the Celtics left their effort in Boston also as they allowed the Hawks to out-rebound them 43-35. The effort and focus just weren't there for the Celtics in this game and the Hawks made them pay. Mike Bibby put his game where his mouth has been as he scored 12 points and dished out 8 assists and led his team to the win. Josh Smith had one of the best games of his career finishing with 27 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Horford and Johnson also played very well for the Hawks. Their bench finished with 10 points and 6 reboun...   [read the full post]

By Eric Williams Also, the campaign for Al Horford as Rookie of the Year continues, with Atlanta Hawks players lobbying for their teammate to win the award here. I thought these comments by Atlanta rookie point guard Acie Law, who played against Kevin Durant when Durant was at Texas and Law was at Texas A &am...

By YaoButtaMing Hawks (W-L): 24-33 Atlanta also has some high flying talent in Josh Smith, Al Horford, and Joe Johnson. I think this team is heavily underrated and will be a pretty darn good team in a couple of years. Both teams are run and gun so I expect a high scoring affair. And what’s not to love about that?

By Matt Atlanta Hawks fan: you think Jason Kidd (or anyone else out there) is going to get the Hawks a ring? After trading Josh Smith at least? Don't be a moron. If the Hawks give up any of the following for anybody that is over 28 or is overpaid, they are fools: Josh Smith, Josh Childress, Al Horford, Ma...

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...

By Matt Chad Ford's tier system definitely swayed me on this one. Al Horford has a chance to be a special NBA player, but so does Mike Conley. Conley fills a need more than Horford, though. The Atlanta Hawks have been without a true point guard since forever (apologies to Speedy Claxton and his various...

By Matt Check out my liveblog predictions and reactions over at TrueHoop. Here's what I wrote at #3:Prediction: Dang, I was hoping Durant would fall. I want Mike Conley, Jr., Billy Knight wants Al Horford, Hawks ownership wants Yi, and Belkin wants to ruin the franchise. My money's on Horford.

By Chase Kuech Atlanta Hawks Key Losses: The Hawks actually didn’t lose anyone who saw more than 100 minutes on the floor last season… Key Additions: Al Horford, Florida (#3 overall pick) and Acie Law IV, Texas A & M (#11 overall pick) in 2007 NBA Draft

By David Friedman 2) Atlanta drafted a forward with its first pick for the 23rd year in a row (that might be a slight exaggeration...), taking Al Horford with the third overall selection. Stephen A. Smith opined that the Hawks should have taken a point guard (he never said which one) and Mark Jackson said simply that the Horford pick is a "bad decision" based on Atlanta's needs and the personnel that they already have (namely, a roster stacked with forwards). The Hawks did take Acie Law with the 11th pick, so they at least attempted to solve their point guard problem but I suspect that in a few years they will rue not drafting Mike Conley instead of Horford. The Spurs used two of their three draft picks on overseas players.   [read the full post]

By twins15 With Doc Rivers and Danny Ainge's jobs possibly on the line this year, I think they'll look at Horford, who will be able to help them out more immediately than someone like Yi Jianlin. Horford is perhaps the most polished big man in the draft and will immediately contribute in the NBA.

By shapecity Can Al Horford play center? I asked as many people as I could find. One guy that knows his stuff made a good point to me in response to my question. “He won’t have any more trouble guarding the same guys Zaza has trouble with will he?” one guy said to me. “The difference is he’s a much more rugged and t...
