I went two years ago when we drafted Horf and Acie. Honestly, it was just okay at best. I'd rather watch it at a bar or at home. Now things might be different this year because we have gone to the playoffs two consecutive years, but people just were not that into it which really disappointed me.

Draft Express just updated their draft, and they have us taking Earl Clark. http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2009/ Maynor and Teague are both taken after the Hawks pick, and I can't see us not taking a PG.

Thank god I go to college in Dallas!

When Utah began the 3rd quarter on that mini run, I said to my dad "here we go again." The Hawks stepped up in the nth degree, and put away a fantastic Utah team. Great win HAWKS

Could someone say "If you would have taken Marta, you'd be there by now!"

And another miss, come on Joe make us proud

Here comes JJ!

Not to mention that ridiculous dunk he had tonight. Gotta love the highlights!

One piece of the puzzle is in place, TOR is about to knock of ORL!

I am working at CNN this week as a paid intern, so I'll be there at 5:30 hitting up Great Wraps. I bought tickets today in the upper deck, and on 790 tonight they said there are a few seats still available. I have to imagine it will sell out by tomorrow night. Phillips' is going to be straight rocking come Wednesday.

TJ Ford always dominates us. I do not feel confident about this game especially early on down by 10

I hope we go out tonight and tomorrow to show every writer/analyst/fan that the Hawks are a legitimate contender. Assuming Josh Smith misses only a few weeks with his ankle injury, are you buying the Hawks (who were 5-0 entering Tuesday night's game at Chicago)? Thomsen: Yes, because they have talent and they're beginning to believe in themselves. They needed a strong start and now that they've evaded early questions about coach Mike Woodson's future, they can be aggressive. All teams (even the Spurs) are fragile, but the Hawks have a lot of scoring and Joe Johnson, especially, has been terrific. Burns: Buyer beware. This is the Hawks we're talking about here. I love the way they are defending as a team and sharing the ball, but they have gone off on these little runs before (just not at the beginning of the season) only to revert back to bad habits. With guys like Flip Murray and Solomon Jones playing key roles, I'm going to need to see more. McCallum: I am buying the Hawks for this reason: They are in the East. They gained a world of confidence with last season's seven-game playoff loss to the Celtics, and, really, who are we asking them to be better than? Orlando? Philadelphia? No big deal. They will contest for first-round home-court advantage. Mannix: The Hawks have beaten probable playoff teams Orlando, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Toronto, and they have been outstanding at making opponents pay for committing turnovers. But I'm still not buying it. The bench took a body blow when it lost Josh Childress, and as well as Flip Murray has played in his absence (12.4 points in 23.4 minutes), I don't see it holding up for an entire season. Plus, I still think the Smith-Woodson relationship is a powder keg waiting to explode. Smith thinks he is an All-Star; Woodson is not convinced. How those two manage the season will be critical to the Hawks' success. Aschburner: No. Way back when I actually had a few dollars in my IRA to move around, I learned to buy on the dips. This terrific start is no dip for the Hawks, who reportedly have been a coach's dream through the season's first two weeks, embracing defensive chores and everything for Woodson. Again, though, it's the first two weeks. Staying relentless enough over a full season to lock down opponents -- they are allowing 85.8 points and 40 percent shooting through five games -- requires tons of work, focus and discipline. I don't think the young Hawks have that in them yet. Besides, they need another shooter.

A complete mess, I mean come on Peja Drobnjak used to be our starting center for crying out loud. Let the good times roll.

Is there any update on Abe's? He looked shaken up, but nothing too serious.

If we keep winning, there is no way we don't get on TV especially with us playing Boston so soon.
