Curious to see how Moose will take advantage of this opportunity.

I saw the link for playoff games on ticketmaster but nothing appears to be available. Don't tell me the tickets are already sold-out. There are tickets on Stubhub but they start from 60 USD. Gone are the days of 25 USD playoff tickets, sigh...

I think the most favorable opponent is Miami for us.

I wouldn't read too much into the multiyear part of the contract. It is likely guaranteed this year and fully non-guaranteed in the upcoming years. Teams use these contracts as trade chips nowadays.

I already prepared myself for the worst news...

Off topic but does anyone know when the playoff tickets will be on sale? I am guessing they will sell out pretty quickly.

This means for minutes for Brand. Only if Pero could get into form...

I think part of it is due to teams paying extra attention to him on defense. There is always a defender within 3 feet when he catches the ball. Even when he loses his defender off the ball, someone else switches to him. On the other hand, he missed some uncharacteristic open shots, too. I don't know what we can do about opponent defenses but when he starts hitting open 3s, he will be fine.

Such a bad injury for him and the Blazers. I was hoping we would chase him in the offseason.

I know it will be an unpopular opinion here but I will say it anyway, all the Josh booing made me uncomfortable. The thing is he is a hometown boy and probably the only guy in the league who has a Hawks tattoo. He wasn't perfect but he gave us good nine seasons. Besides that it was one of the best games that I watched in Philips Arena. It was a total playoff atmosphere and I am proud of our guys for squeezing a win.

More national tv means less Bob&Dominique and more Jon Barry (yikes...) I totally love the lack of respect and attention we get, I hope it continues all the way to conference finals.

Out for conduct detrimental to the team, they say. Apparently they kept on arguing at the locker room as well.

It would be pretty embarrassing if the game was cancelled for 10 µm depth of snow. By the way Rondo is out for tonight after getting in a heated argument with Carlisle.

I think they also shipped Perkins. I am not sure about the rest though.

It seems like OKC got Kanter, Singler, Augustin and Novak for Reggie Jackson. Holy...

Do we even know whether he will play this season? That man has to put his life together first.

He would give us quality minutes as a back up big but I think he will sign with Mavericks.

For those who don't see the twitter feed, a good read about some of the moves that the Hawks can do before the trade deadline. I am excited! http://www.peachtreehoops.com/2015/2/16/5898521/atlanta-hawks-salary-cap-trade-deadline

He doesn't wear any Hawks gear though, probably not to piss off the Panthers fans.

Here is a fun read about NBA celebrity fans. For us they picked 2 Chainz. http://grantland.com/nba-celebrity-fans/

Those jerseys were sweet. Do you know whether the one Dennis wore is on sale?

After seeing Horford on the floor holding his chest: After seeing him back in the game:

I think he still has room for improvement. He is good offensively although he could improve his finishing inside. Defensively he has a long way to go though. He has 10 blocks in his entire NBA career :-) If he improves, Markieff Morris maybe?

I hope this "Rebounds are not important" thing doesn't turn into "Sacks are overrated" nonsense of the Falcons. I couldn't care less about not getting offensive rebounds. But giving up 15-20 offensive boards per game? That is inexcusable and should be addressed somehow.
