Atlanta Hawks coverage at Hoopinion . Blazers Analysis Hawks PG On Sunday, Steve Blake got his groove back from behind the arc. He led all Portland scorers with 18 points and seemed confident shooting 4 of 5 from deep. Andre Miller never got his game going but against an aging Mike Bibby and rookie Jeff Teague, I like our chances. Andre's turn to do work tonight in the Rose Garden, double digit assists...

For entertainment purposes only, here's my informal analysis regarding how I see the Bulls' conference shaking out. Tried not to cheat looking at the results of the first couple games of the season: Orlando Magic - Instead of overpaying for someone, they let him go. Wait, they also traded for someone who's even more overpaid...and better. I love the Turkoglu-for-Carter upgrade, and the Magic have the...
Did you see enough of Hawks rookie point guard Jeff Teague in the season opener? Hawks coach Mike Woodson's rotation was 10-deep but as expected, the minutes were lopsided in favor of the starters. HAWKSVILLE – Did you see enough of Jamal Crawford and Joe Smith Wednesday night? How about Jeff Teague and Mo Evans ? Zaza Pachulia and Jason Collins ? I didn’t think so. Sure, the Hawks did...
