Last night the Houston Rockets and surprising Atlanta Hawks were locked up at 103-103 with mere seconds left on the clock. With three seconds remaining, Hawks guard Mike Bibby fired off a shot that rattled off the rim and backboard, appearing to send the game to overtime. Yet forward Josh Smith flew off the paint and shoved the ball through the hoop with 0.7 seconds left in regulation. The 11-2 Hawks...
by Brett Pollakoff Filed under: Hawks , Rockets , NBA Videos Josh Smith would probably be the first to tell you that he didn't have a great game on Friday against the Rockets . But he was there at the end when it mattered most, and hit the game-winner with 0.7 seconds left to power the Hawks to their 11th win, tops in the league at this early point in the NBA season. Smith finished with a pretty solid...
I wonder if Tracy McGrady is as impressed with the Rockets as the rest of us. I wonder if he wonders how he'll fit in. I don't see how anyone can watch this team and not be impressed. Even in defeat, they do things that make you shake your head. That was true Friday night in Atlanta when they trailed most of the game, but kept fighting and fighting, never giving in, never giving up. Finally, they...
Greetings, all I’m at the homestead for this one and will be watching on the television as you all will. Some thoughts and on we go. Why the Hawks win tonight 1) Marvin Williams has gotten himself in a groove and has an exploitable matchup against Peja Stojakovic . 2) The Hawks asserted themselves as the better team a week ago. Their fourth-quarter run from the last game may linger somewhere...
Flying High. The best team in the NBA right now nests in Atlanta. The 11-2 Hawks have wins over the Blazers, Nuggets, and Celtics, and their Friday night win was maybe the most dramatic of the season, coming on the above Josh Smith putback and against the scrappy Rockets. Their Eastern Conference competition is still dealing with flaws (Boston's offensive woes, Orlando's rhythm and the spotty Vince...
First : Stop reading here (but come back after!) and check out my late-breaking Teblog guest-post over at Yahoo's Dr. Saturday college football blog, about the most important context for today's Florida game: Life AFTER Tebow . (Believe it or not, Florida's annual cupcake game in mid-November has been marked by really notable events: Tebow's breakout in 2006, Tebow going "20/20" in 2007 and...
Los Angeles - High-flying Josh Smith kept the Atlanta Hawks soaring. Smith skied through the lane for a put-back of Mike Bibby's missed jumper with seven tenths of a second left, lifting the surging Hawks to their seventh straight win on Friday night...
By John Hollinger ATLANTA – It took 47 minutes and 59.3 seconds, but the Hawks finally found the Rockets’ Achilles heel. And fittingly for a team named after birds, it was in the air. Josh Smith rose higher than any Houston player could hope to reach and slammed home Mike Bibby’s miss, allowing the home side to escape with a 105-103 win over a physical, tough Rockets team that continues...

Here's how the Lions can beat the Bears at Wien Stadium tomorrow. First, make sure everyone on the team has their magic wands and invisibility cloaks and draw up some plays with 11 visible and 5 invisible players on defense... Seriously, it may seem like an almost impossible task to defeat Brown. But it can be done if Columbia does the following. 1) Pressure and sack Kyle Newhall-Caballero The best...

Being a Bucks fan I started to do some research on the Bucks lottery pick, Brandon Jennings and I came across a site, statsheet.com, that combines all recruiting rankings for a given year. I think it shows some patterns regarding when some of the past HS kids busted and which ones were legit.
