Atlanta holiday let-down
Posted on 26 Dec 2010 by John Morgo.
For citizens of Atlanta, who are nestled by their plasma TV's with care, the roads are deserted. Half an inch of snow will do that. Yeah, the northeast is about to get inundated, but we have a dusting, and since we have absolutely no idea what to do about it, we ran to the store and buy up all the milk. Heck, I went to work at 6:30 this morning and the roads were fine. Even that part of the 28...

Atlanta’s Christmas present – a 2 game winning streak
Posted on 22 Dec 2010 by John Morgo.
Just writing this as the Hawks finish off the Cavs. Right now it's 96-84 with about two minutes to go, and I have a couple of quick points: #1) Al Horford should definitely get an All-Star berth. The guy has a fantastic stretch the past week, and he continued it with 18 points. The game wrapped up while I tried to find a current box. While I was doing that, Bob Rathbun on SportsSouth (not to b...

Hawks beat Magic – again!
Posted on 20 Dec 2010 by John Morgo.
After Orlando's demolition of Atlanta in the playoffs, this counts as a very positive development. Atlanta knocked off Orlando tonight 91-81, to put last night's loss to New Jersey in the rear view mirror, where it belongs. I've gone on and on about how the Hawks haven't been able to beat a team with a winning record, but Orlando is the exception to the rule. Yes, the Magic did pull off those b...

Remember that 6-0 start?
Posted on 19 Dec 2010 by John Morgo.
Atlanta took it on the chin against New Jersey this afternoon, 89-82. This is New Jersey! The Nets have two wins against the Hawks and six against the rest of the league! Difficult stat to swallow, if you're a Hawks fan. Since that 6-0 start, the Hawks are 11-12. They've lost their last three on the road (including games at Detroit & New Jersey and can't seem to develop any consistency....

Merry Christmas everyone (and can schedule maker give Atlanta a break)
Posted on 14 Dec 2010 by John Morgo.
As we get close to the holidays, I'm wishing everyone the best. I, for one, am counting my blessings that I have employment and am no longer on the dole. Atlanta is playing Detroit right now and I decided to do something different and listen to the game on the radio. I wanted to try 97.9 (which is termed 99X despite not really close to 99 – but I'm being picky). Steve Holman has been on t...

Hey! The Hawks beat a good team!
Posted on 6 Dec 2010 by John Morgo.
Just finished watching Atlanta do something they have yet to do in this not-very young season, and if you looked at the header of this story, you probably figured out what it was. Atlanta beat the Orlando Magic a few hours ago, 80-74. Al Horford put the team on his back as he logged over 41 minutes in the victory and socred 16. Josh Smith pumped in 19, Mike Bibby had 13, and Jamal Crawford came...

Countdown to Saturday
Posted on 28 Nov 2010 by John Morgo.
As we rapidly approach the quarter mark of a long NBA season, the Hawks are a game and a half over the Miami Heat. I don't think anybody would have predicted that. It may be a cause for celebration, but not so fast. The Heat are spectacularly uninspiring, and the Hawks have yet to put away a quality opponent. That game with Boston that I was looking forward last week? Celts in a landslide. Let'...

Secrets to stopping a losing streak.
Posted on 14 Nov 2010 by John Morgo.
Actually, it's pretty easy, when you get right down to it. The best way to stop a losing streak is to . . (drum roll, wait for it), play a bad team. And that brings us to this afternoon's Hawks game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Atlanta went to the Twin Cities last week and won quite handily on November 5, but since then they haven't won. So the Hawks weren't going to let a good opportuni...

I am officially worried
Posted on 10 Nov 2010 by John Morgo.
Okay, I turn on SportsSouth's coverage of the Hawks-Bucks game tonight. Now remember, in Atlanta there are two networks with the exact same mission and almost the same name. It's very complicated, and I don't have time to go into it now. But you have to realize, if it's not on one, then it's on the other. I turn it on and I see Atlanta up by 13. It's still the first quarter, but I'm very confid...

Get off the bandwagon!
Posted on 8 Nov 2010 by John Morgo.
Just watched most of the Hawks-Magic game. Orlando won 93-89. You talk about moral victories. I went to Vanderbilt, the home of football moral victories, and if I hear the term one more time I will probably regurgitate something. (Fancy term for vomiting). Although, with the way Vandy's football team is going, I could use something to get me through the gloomy offseason. I'm digressing again. A...

HAWKS ARE THE BEST TEAM (for now)
Posted on 7 Nov 2010 by John Morgo.
Sorry it’s taken me so long to check in. I got back from Albany a week ago and was immediately slammed with prep work for football. I had two games this weekend. I also had a couple of basketball contests for Georgia Perimeter College to call, as well as some job interviews, brushing up on the control board for Georgia State basketball, now the Department of Labor wants to see progress in my ...

Hawks go 2-4 in preseason
Posted on 25 Oct 2010 by John Morgo.
Before I delve into the Atlanta Hawks as the regular season quickly approaches, I want to touch on a great philosophical question. It’s not as deep as the chicken-and-egg, or as metaphysical about the throwing abilities of a woodchuck, but it’s still something that’s keeping me awake at night. Why, in the MLB postseason games on TBS and Fox, is there a graphic keyed behind home plate only...
