Start of Training Camp Links
Micah Hart has pictures from media day at the Hawks BasketBlog. No news to report from media day so Sekou Smith gets Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby to discuss good teams they've played on previously in terms possibly applicable to the 2008-09 Hawks. Johnson: "When I was in Phoenix we came back...
Checking In As Training Camp Opens
Media Day takes place today. The first practice takes place tomorrow. Thus, some proper news trickles out and a bit of local media attention shines on the Hawks. Despite the various news feeds and google alerts I have set up, the Hawks somehow managed to make an official announcement of their...
