More Evidence…

Jon Newberry — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 16:45:29 +0000

The Hawks are slowly turning doubters into believers. More and more analysts are labelling Atlanta as “contenders” these days and the evidence supporting the label continues to grow. Last night’s win over Golden State Warriors showcased the Hawks scoring depth and versatility. Atlanta scored 127 points and Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford only had 24 between [...] Related posts:

Treat ‘em All the Same

"Hometeam" Brandon Leak — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:02:10 +0000

The Hawks are right where they want to be and are chasing the division crown with passion. Still two games behind the Magic for the top spot in the division, the team is taking everything seriously. There is no need to let all of the hard work they’ve put in this season go to waste [...] Related posts:

Who Hit the Harder Shot?

Jon Newberry — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:02:58 +0000

Mo Evans made an appearance at Kia Atlanta South this weekend and witnessed Harry the Hawk nail a tough shot. Maybe Mo felt a little offended by Harry stealing the show, because the shot he hit in Monday night’s win at Chicago might be the shot of the season for Atlanta.

Match-Up with the Mavs

Jon Newberry — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 17:03:49 +0000

Tonight Atlanta will try to become the first team to sweep the Mavericks this season. Dallas has beaten 26 out of 29 teams and still has a game left against Portland (Blazers have beaten Dallas twice) and has yet to play Chicago (home/away still on the schedule). When the Hawks beat the Mavericks in Dallas earlier [...] Related posts:

The Hawks are back home, finally, and hopefully they will make the most of it. Al Jefferson and Kevin Love are in town tonight and are two big men who love to do work inside. While both big guys are a force in thier own right, the Hawks feel that the best plan is to [...] Related posts:

2-2 Road Trip with an Asterisk

Jon Newberry — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:11:02 +0000

We’ve said it before this season: “A good win always trumps a bad loss.” It was even the title for one of Hometeam’s posts back in early December after the Hawks responded to a loss to the Knicks by beating the Mavericks on the road. Going into the road trip a 2-2 record would have been [...] Related posts:

SECOND HALF NEEDS FIRST HALF PUSH

"Hometeam" Brandon Leak — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:19:18 +0000

The Atlanta Hawks got off to a good start of basketball in the first half of 2009-2010. The team has found an identity, has plenty of three point shooters, loves to run, and has a guy off the bench that can completely change a game. Last year at this time, Orlando had shifted gears and [...] Related posts:

Hawks Avoid Dealing with the Camby-Man

Jon Newberry — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 17:54:14 +0000

Thanks to Tuesday’s trade between the Clippers and Blazers the Hawks will not have to worry about Marcus Camby dominating the boards like he did earlier this month in Atlanta (20 rebounds on Feb. 3). While the Hawks ulimately prevailed 103-97 that night, they trailed by nine with just over eight minutes remaining in the [...] Related posts:

Joe Gets Starting Nod in Dallas

Jon Newberry — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 00:00:50 +0000

Joe Johnson will be a starter Sunday night in the 2010 All-Star Game. Stan Van Gundy, head coach of the Eastern Confernce squad, has informed the media that Joe Johnson will replace Allen Iverson as the fifth starter. Johnson becomes the first Hawks since Dikembe Mutombo in 1997-98 to start in the All-Star Game. “I’m extremely excited by this honor, [...] Related posts:
