Acie Law! Heres what I wrote on TrueHoop:Prediction: Those Conley highlights killed me, but after taking Horford, Billy Knight should fulfill his promise to Acie Law and take him here. Anybody that outscores the opposing team by himself in crunch time of close games is a guy I want...
I Always Liked Billy Knight

Atlanta Hawks Blog

I'm sure you already heard, but Mr. Knight pulled off a pretty damn good trade. Atlanta sent Lue, Anthony Johnson, Lorenzen Wright and Shelden Williams, along with the 2009 2nd round pick, to Sacramento for Mike Bibby. I love this trade for several reasons:Bibby has a pretty good...

I shared my thoughts with Micah Hart from AtlantaHawks.com about a possible trade I would like to see. I threw in all the riff-raff on the team for Mike Bibby, and the new ESPN.com Trade Machine likes it (click for full size):Amazingly, this trade makes both teams worse! Fantastic...

The Hawks are 19-24, have lost 7 of their last 10, and are barely holding on to the #7 spot in the East. The Hawks have been called many things, but "well coached" has never been one of them.Chris McCosky, a "writer" from Detroit, thinks that all criticism of Mike...

Go read this AJC article from Sekou right now. He talks to a scout who should've been the Hawks' GM. The guy is spot on, but here are a few money quotes:Josh, Horford and Joe Johnson are keepers. That's your core. Everybody else … well, I can see you moving just...
Unwanted Advice for Billy Knight, Atlanta Hawks Fans
February 15, 2008 by
Atlanta Hawks Blog
| Comments
There has been a lot of rumbling from the team and the coach that they are in need of "a shakeup". Billy Knight, you have made mistakes in the past, but if you mortgage even a piece of this team's future in order to make a trade, I will curse your name in every post for...

A few quick thoughts:It's always nice to beat a team that has a racist fan base, particularly when they are a solid Western Conference team. Atlanta is now 6-3 against the West!Somebody lit a fire under Anthony Johnson's butt. Last night he was awesome, and almost made me forget...
Raptors - Hawks Preview

Head on over to RaptorsHQ.com to check out a little pre-game conversation I had with Adam. I answered a few questions for his site, but I couldn't get my act together enough to hit him back with questions of my own. I predicted a 94-86 win for the Hawks, who should feel embarrassed...
Hawks Blogger Night

Atlanta Hawks Blog
| Comments
Unfortunately I couldn't make Blogger Night at Philips Arena last night, so I was not present to the beatdown the Hawks gave to the Nuggets (on the second away game of a back-to-back). However, I had a very good reason (see above). I would have taken a picture with the game on...
Claxton is Done
January 28, 2008 by
Atlanta Hawks Blog
| Comments
Absolutely shocking news: "Speedy" (and I use the term loosely) Claxton is done for the season, possibly forever. I can't say I am shocked in any way. Although Sekou says "[Claxton's] signing was hailed as the answer to the Hawks' point guard woes,"...
Josh Smith, stop shooting contested 3 pointers
January 27, 2008 by
Atlanta Hawks Blog
| Comments
I turn on the game in the 4th quarter the other night, watch Josh Smith hoist up a contested 3 pointer (it was ugly and against the flow), then watch Jarvis Hayes nudge Tyronne Lue out of the way for an easy bucket. Game over, I figured. If things are going to happen just like they...
Welcome to Atlanta

Can you smell what the Hawks are cookin'? In front of a fired up (legitimately sold out) packed crowd, the Hawks beat one of the best teams in the NBA last night. I didn't get to see the game, but I did hear guys calling in to 790 saying things like "I've never seen...
.500 (Free Mike Vick)

My wife is approximately 9 months pregnant, so you will forgive my lack of posting thus far. After a decent game in which the Hawks beat an Orlando that looked like what people thought they would like in the pre-season, there are many reasons to be optimistic.I've made the leap...
Mike Conley Era Begins

Atlanta Hawks Blog
| Comments
Mike Conley has been officially named the starter for the Memphis Grizzlies, so Atlanta fans get another chance to play "what could have been." Damon Stoudamire got bumped to the #3 point guard, and Billy Knight immediately offered him a a 3 year, $17 million deal.Don'...
A Do-Over? Is This 2nd Grade? WTF?!!!
January 19, 2008 by
Atlanta Hawks Blog

Unbelievable.The Hawks will replay the last 51.9 seconds of their game against the Miami Heat. In a slightly new twist, Hawks' scoring officials are bearing the brunt of the blame for incorrectly assigning a foul to Shaq, who later fouled out. Although a far more detailed breakdown...

Check back here for the latest in the Atlanta Spirit LLC - Steve Belkin dispute:On September 11, 2007, all previous rulings were thrown out by the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, and a lower Maryland court now has to take up the case. In all likelihood, there will be a trial where...
3,11 - All Mixed Up, Don't Know What To Do
January 07, 2008 by
Atlanta Hawks Blog
| Comments
We have to get our point guard for the next 3 years out of this draft. Mike Conley, Jr. is the best pure point in it. Acie Law ain't a bad second choice. Unfortunately there is no guarantee either one will be there at #11, and both are a little bit of a reach at #3. Both those...
Sweet Jesus, I Hate Playing the Miami Heat

Atlanta Hawks Blog

I can only guess at the pain of Dallas fans, considering how mad I still am over a regular season game the Hawks won against the Heat. It's difficult to watch Dwyane Wade and company get call after call, even when they have fallen to being one of the worst teams in league. The...

Remember when Billy Knight traded the Hawks' 2nd round pick for Anthony Johnson? If he had kept it, here's who we could have drafted:Nick Fazekas (Dallas took him with our pick)Glen Davis (injury plagued year hurt his stock big time)Josh McRoberts (not as bad as people think...
2007 Mock Drafts

Atlanta Hawks Blog

Here's what I wrote for a mock draft at sportscolumn.com:With the 3rd pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, the Atlanta Hawks select Mike Conley, Ohio State University. Chad Ford's tier system definitely swayed me on this one. Al Horford has a chance to be a special NBA player, but so...

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...

The Hawks unveiled their new uniforms / logo today. My initial reaction? Bland. My follow up reaction? I like 'em. I really like 'em. Apparently the away jersey is an homage to the 1958 St. Louis Hawks, winners of the NBA championship.Gone is the yellow accent, gone is the...

Chad Ford drops another doozy.If Stoudemire is playing for Charlotte next year and Steve Belkin is the reason Amare is not in Atlanta, then David Stern needs to force the mutual sale of the Hawks. The Atlanta Spirit ownership group and Steve Belkin both have proven themselves to be...
