Atlanta Hawks Unveil New Logos
The recently eliminated Hawks officially revealed their new logos today, and the primary logo is mighty familiar. It’s a fleshed-out version of the “Pac-Man” logo the team began using as an alternate last season, which is itself an update of the one used for most of the team’s history....
The Hawks Were Fun, Occasionally Terrific, And Not Revolutionary
The Finals matchup is set, and thanks to a scheduling quirk and two mostly non-competitive conference finals series, we’ve got nearly an entire week with no basketball. It’s a good time to revisit how we got here....

Report: Kyle Korver Out For The Rest Of The Playoffs With Ankle Injury

DeMarre Carroll's Knee Is Going To Be Okay

The Hawks Ruined Another Great Moment In Paul Pierce Shit-Talking
