So, how does a team come back from a 45-point beat down earlier in the week? Let me remind, again, that the team dishing out that beat down was an NBA Finals team. Unlike last season’s Bobcats, they come back to lose by only 3 points in the Hawks house. The final score was 94-91. It was a great game to see, even though I was stuck on the phone for most of the second half, trying to get my internet service restored. We need to realize that the Eastern conference is weaker than it has ever been. Part of that is due to trades, injury, etc., but it is what it is. The Charlotte Bobcats are a young, fun to watch team that is showing the world that last year was a fluke, and not the norm. NBA basketball is alive and well in North Carolina. Read on Bobcats Fans…
Last year, a loss like we suffered against the Thunder would have been just another loss. Another blowout sustained, and another game closer to lotteryland. This year is different. New coach, new team, new colo...

I don’t know. I’ll be the first to tell you, I don’t know. Whether the Bobcats are good, bad, lucky, suckering teams, winning close ones early in the year only to lose them later, a fluke or on to something real and sustainable. I don’t know. All those adjectives or suspicions have definite truths to [...]

Drew: Teague the key to our success
ATLANTA --Hawks point guard Jeff Teague may slither elusively to the basket but coach Larry Drew used an unusual metaphor to describe his player nonetheless.
Hes the head of the snake for us, Drew said. When hes going well, chances are, we are, too.

“We kind of know that OKC is a test for us, we failed it miserably,” coach Dunlap said after the Bobcats were beaten by a number so huge that it needed to be written in scientific notation. He’s right about Charlotte failing miserably. This was their first test against a traditional powerhouse, and it went [...]

Kidd-Gilchrist, Dunlap key Bobcats' fast start
CHARLOTTE, N.C. --- Gerald Henderson chuckled when asked, but only because of the absurd reality of the question.
Yes, he said, before pausing for a second. Its like that. Its a different atmosphere. But theres no doubt we have some of that spirit.
The spirit Henderson acknowledged is one he knew all too well playing three seasons at Duke. But it isnt because of regular home experiences...
Horford, Hawks pull past Bobcats
ATLANTA -- After an atrocious 1-for-10 night at the free throw line last week, Al Horford decided to spend extra time working on his foul shots.
"That's one of the things I always work on, and I got away from it a little bit," he said. "I think it showed when I went in that little slump."
His recent effort seems to have paid off.

The Hawks Are Silent Beasts in the East
There’s a silent beast stalking the Eastern Conference, moving up the rankings and earning wins quietly. They aren’t super flashy, super athletic or have a choc-full of All-Stars, and they definitely don’t look like much on paper, but mark my words, the Atlanta Hawks should not be taken lightly despite their off-season roster shake-up.
In fact, a roster shake-up might’ve...
Cavaliers-Hawks Preview
After an inconsistent start to the season, the Atlanta Hawks have found their groove and enter the weekend as one of the NBA's hottest teams.
That doesn't bode well for the slumping Cleveland Cavaliers, who already have had their hands full in this series of late.
The Hawks try for a seventh consecutive victory overall and an eighth straight over the visiting Cavaliers...

Josh Smith has had some rough performances against the Cavaliers in his career, and tonight, he forgot to account for Alonzo Gee. Dion Waiters’s three-point attempt went awry, but Gee was there for the putback with 0.4 seconds remaining as the Cavaliers came back from 11 down at the half to snap a 4-game skid and win 113-111 at Philips Arena. Jeremy Pargo led the wine and gold...
