Atlanta Hawks

The Eastern Conference Finals powers at be have not been kind to the Atlanta Hawks. Specifically Kyle Korver. Following the Hawks’ Game 2 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution brought word that the sharp-shooting wing would miss the remainder of the postseason with a high-right ankle sprain: [...]

It was yet another thrilling finish in Wednesday night’s game five between the Wizards and the Hawks. For the Wizards, their star point guard John Wall was finally reinserted back into their starting lineup after missing the last three games due to a hand injury. However, even with Wall’s return, the Wizards fell a point [...]

John Wall is tough. So tough, Washington Wizards head coach Randy Wittman cannot think of another player he’s been around over the last 30 years who has been tougher. But before anything else, some context: The Wizards announced on Thursday that Wall suffered five non-displaced fractures in his left hand. The announcement came one day [...]

Yes, the Washington Wizards jumped out to a 1-0 series lead over the Atlanta Hawks. No, they won’t be basking in that victory for long. Or at all. As they prepare for Game 2 in Atlanta, the Wizards push forward, cautiously no doubt, knowing that both John Wall and Bradley Beal. First we have Wall’s [...]

Atlanta Hawks head coach, Mike Budenholzer has been rewarded by the league for his tremendous coaching success this season by being named as the NBA’s Coach of the Year for the 2015 season.

Pat yourself on the back. Do the self-five. Pound your chest. Hell, play some pocket billiards if you’re into that sort of thing. You deserve it. Because the 2014-15 NBA regular season is over. And you made it. Now it’s off to the playoffs, which begin Saturday. And thank heavens for the brief respite in [...]

Oh, look, it’s the Spurs. The time-biding, age-shirking, logic-looting, championship-chasing, demonstratively dynastic Spurs. Remember when we were worried about them? Yeah, me neither. Yours truly was never worried about them. Yes, I’m patting my self on the back. A few bold blockheads thought they were done. Believed they were finally too old. Could see injuries [...]

It’s almost time for us to say goodbye to another year of NBA Power Rankings. The NBA’s regular season is winding down, which means we’re nearing a point of farewell. Never fear, though, because that point isn’t here just yet. We still have the playoff race and, equally important, the MVP chase—or, as it’s now become, [...]

Good lord, the NBA playoff picture is a mess. Last week’s power rankings aren’t irrelevant, but they kind of are. The top- and bottom-most teams tend to stay put, but it’s the other 20 or so teams sandwiched in-between them that keep moving up and down, then up, then down, the ladder. In the Western Conference, [...]

Fuhgettabout March Madness. The NBA playoffs are almost here. Sure, you could watch college kids, some of them highly touted Association prospects, soak up late-winter, early spring spotlight as they sap 30 seconds off the 35-second shot clock trying to score, only to usually not score, en route to securing or losing a national championship [...]
