After a few months of exile, the fire of Hawk Str8Talk is back and shots are fired.

The Atlanta Hawks try to bounce back from a disappointing effort in Game 1 when they continue their first round series against the Pacers.

You can win a ticket to see game 3 at Philips Arena and represent Peachtree Hoops. Limited number of tickets available. Act fast.

A quick glance across the national map yesterday revealed what we would already have guessed....that nobody cares about the Atlanta Hawks and nobody considers them a threat to anything in basketball. Can the team fight back and grab that attention?

Josh Smith is day-to-day after suffering an ankle injury in Game 1 against the Indiana Pacers.

The Hawks flew back to Atlanta Sunday night after their Game 1 loss to the Indiana Pacers and returned to the practice court Monday morning for a lengthy practice and film session.

Larry Drew benched Al Horford in the first half after picking up a second personal foul. Drew neglected to alter his regular rotation to play Horford more in the second half and the Hawks best player finished with a mere 28 minutes...and 3 fouls.

The Hawks decided to go with the small starting lineup and Paul George made them pay with a triple-double and win in Game 1.

The Hawks played flat, struggled on the boards, and were out free-throwed (it's a word now) 34-14 (30-7 made) by Indiana in a 107-90 loss in Game One of their first round playoff series.
