Maybe Dwight Howard Shouldn't Be Allowed To Run The Fast Break
Dwight Howard had a decent game in a loss to the Suns last night, finishing with 17 points and 14 rebounds in 33 minutes. He also finished with one assist, but as you can see int he clip below, he was very close to finishing with two:...
Kris Humphries Shatters Backboard, Ends Practice Early
The simplest way to get out of something you don’t want to do is to create an excuse centered on yourself: you’re sick, your grandmother died, etc. The most effective way to get out of something you don’t want to do is to ruin that something entirely: why sit on the bleachers with a feigned headache...
Love Is Real: Gucci Mane Got Engaged At The Hawks Game Tonight
Gucci Mane was a distinguished guest of the Hawks tonight, and while the Hawks lost the Bird Derby to the Pelicans, Gucci was the star of the evening. He played a short set during halftime, did a little Mannequin Challenge, and then proposed to his girlfriend Keyshia Ka’oir. The couple was featured ...
Kent Bazemore Laughs As He Sets Up Dwight Howard For An Alley-Oop
Although the Atlanta Hawks were losing in the second quarter today against the New York Knicks, Kent Bazemore still found a chance to be happy. Marshall Plumlee was having a tough time with Dwight Howard during the possession, and Bazemore could only laugh as he passed to Howard for an easy alley-oo...
Hawks Coach Mike Budenholzer Got Taken Out By Langston Galloway
The NBA preseason is too long and isn’t good for much besides cursory evaluations of new players (like Joel Embiid) and injuries. Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer fell victim to a wayward Langston Galoway attempt to save the ball in the second quarter this evening, and he went down hard....
Kent Bazemore Gets Emotional While Discussing Decision To Return To Atlanta
It wasn’t so long ago that Kent Bazemore was the scrub on the end of the Warriors’ bench who wasn’t known for anything other than his enthusiastic celebrations. He’s since fashioned himself into a solid swingman, and was one of the more sought-after free agents in this summer’s class. He chose to re...

The Atlanta Hawks Are Being Whiny Babies
One of the best things about basketball is that it is not baseball. I enjoy both sports equally, but basketball has always had an edge in the not-employing-humorless-dickwads department, which means you rarely ever see NBA players or coaches talking about “class” or “playing the right way.” The Atla...
Jeff Teague Saved The Hawks, Only To Murder Them
In their overtime loss to the Celtics last night, just about every member of the Atlanta Hawks besides Paul Millsap played like dogshit. One of the chief offenders was point guard Jeff Teague, who shot a dismal 4-18, and had just five assists to three turnovers. He missed almost every shot as the ga...
Harry The Hawk Crotched Himself
That ugly-ass Hawks-Celtics game was only made less painful to watch by an unfortunate pratfall from Atlanta’s mascot, who will not be fertilizing eggs anytime soon. Keep an eye on Harry’s tightrope routine at the bottom of the screen:...
That Terrible Celtics-Hawks Game, In One Play
The Hawks just took a 2-0 lead in their first round series with the Boston Celtics after a prehistoric, listless game. Avery Bradley didn’t play because of a hamstring injury, Kelly Olynynk missed the game with a shoulder problem, and the Hawks’ coolest player, Dennis Schröder, turned his ankle at t...
The Celtics Just Had The Worst First Quarter In NBA Playoff History
The Atlanta Hawks were held scoreless for the last five minutes and change of the first quarter of tonight’s playoff game against Boston, but that doesn’t matter because the shamrock boys just took a world historic shit and scored only seven points over the entire first period on 3-for-23 shooting. ...
The Hawks Stranded Jeff Teague At The Detroit Arena Last Night
The Hawks beat the Pistons last night, and Jeff Teague scored 12 points in the victory. This apparently wasn’t enough to get him his spot on the team bus, as they left without him and he had to call his sister to come and pick him up. At least he had a pizza?...
Mike Muscala Is Not A Good Rapper
TNT has added a talent show to its NBA All-Star Weekend coverage, and the Atlanta Hawks’ entry came from Mike Muscala, who demonstrated his “skills” on the mic. It was less than impressive....
Nikola Vucevic Hits Another Game-Winning Turnaround Buzzer-Beater
The Orlando Magic downed the Atlanta Hawks at home today thanks to this wild turnaround buzzer-beater from Nikola Vucevic. This is eerily similar to a game Vucevic hit back in November against the Lakers. Maybe the Magic should make their whole offense out of Nik Vucevic turnaround jumpers?...
Suns, Hawks Combine For Some "Interesting" "Basketball"
The Suns beat the Hawks yesterday, but only after the two teams decided to take a break from basketball to just kind of run around like a bunch of puppies in the snow....
Paul Millsap Dunk Rocks John Henson, Distant Cousins
The Atlanta Hawks have a slim lead in the first half over Milwaukee, but a huge advantage in face after Paul Millsap annihilated John Henson’s spirit with a devastating slam. Get well soon, John. ...
Dennis Schröder Gets Tooth Knocked Out, Puts It In His Sock
Atlanta Hawks guard Dennis Schröder was down a veneer after he ran into the knee of the Trail Blazers’ Meyers Leonard in Monday night’s game. Schröder made sure that he didn’t misplace the departed piece of his tooth by putting it in his sock....
