AL HORFORD RUMORS & GOSSIP
Hawks prepared for physical series vs. Pacers
ATLANTA Last year the Atlanta Hawks went into the NBA playoffs minus All-Star center Al Horford for the first few games.
The Hawks are ahead of the game in that respect, as they travel to take on Indiana in Game 1 on Sunday, but their situation in terms of injuries remains less than ideal.
Were not as healthy as I want to be, coach Larry Drew said. We got some guys nicked up,...

NBA Playoffs Preview: Pacers vs. Hawks
The Indiana Pacers have had a fulfilling season. They have excelled because of their vigorous defense. The Pacers were the number two seed for a period of time, but the Knicks’ late winning streak pushed them down to the third seed. The Hawks’ season has gone as expected. They have had their moments but they can really struggle at times. Let’s take a look at this...
C Al Horford out for Atlanta's final home game
Center Al Horford is sitting out the Atlanta Hawks' final home game of the regular season because of soreness in his chest.
Horford missed most of last season after having surgery on his left pectoral muscle. He said before Tuesday's game that he's having some lingering pain in that same area, so he wants to give it a rest with the playoffs approaching.
As a precaution...

Horford powers Hawks through Jazz
Here are three observations from the Atlanta Hawks' 102-91 win over the Utah Jazz Wednesday night:
1. Though Atlanta forged its way to the playoffs last season, the absence of Al Horford, who missed the majority of regular season with a pectoral injury, was blatantly obvious at times. The two-time All-Star is too good to forget about entirely.

EYE CANDY
Kid ogles cheerleader at Hawks game
Atlanta Hawks center/power forward Al Horford’s little brother got an eye full as a well-endowed Hawks cheerleader served snacks to spectators at the game against the Washington Wizards Wednesday night. The expression on his face is priceless.
Hawks' Horford graduates to elder statesman

Hawks surprised over losing All-Star Horford
If there were one player that the Hawks couldn't afford to lose, it was probably Al Horford, Atlanta's two-time All-Star center. So the news that Horford is out with a shoulder injury for three to four months effectively the remainder of the regular season is downright crushing news.
It's unexpected news, too.
"I'm still surprised," said Horford. "...
