The most first-round picks the Hawks have ever had was in 1999, when the team had an impressive four. Of course, the four they picked didn't turn out so impressive (of Jason Terry, Cal Bowdler, Dion Glover, and Jumaine Jones, only the Jet is still a rotation player in the league), but hey, it's still a record, what do you want from me.
Congrats to Angela S., who is today's winner. Friday April 13, 2007

It's been several years since the Hawks swept a home series against Washington. In fact, it's been nearly a decade, as the last time the team accomplished the task was the 1997-98 season.
Congrats to Nicole W., who wins tonight's tickets. Back in a bit with some chatter on tonight's game!

Tough question today - how many players on the Hawks and Celtics rosters completed their college eligibility? The answer is 14 - eight for the Celtics and six from the Hawks. It breaks down like this: Celtics: Hawks: Congrats to Sam R., who wins tickets to tonight's game against the C's. Back with a game preview in a bit! Tuesday April 10, 2007

Let's get to today's trivia winner, and then I'll be back in a bit to preview tonight's game. The question was how many times have the Milwaukee Bucks had the #1 overall pick, and who did they draft. The answer? Four times. The Bucks selected Andrew Bogut with the first overall pick in 2005 (when they beat out the Hawks for the top spot), took (former Hawk - though not at the time) Glenn Robinson in 1994, Indiana's Kent Benson in 1977, and Lew Alcindor in 1969. Today's winner is Jeff L., so congrats to you Jeff. Be back in a little with more!

Tough question today asking what is the most consecutive seasons the team has improved it's win total from the previous year. The answer? Four. In 1975-76, the Hawks went 29-53, and improved on that record in each of the four seasons thereafter, from 31-51 in 76-77 to 41-41 in 77-78 to 46-36 in 78-79 and finally to 50-32 in 79-80.
We have two winners today for two games - Dave E. wins tonight's tickets, and Gerald T. wins for Sunday. Congrats to you both. Back in a bit with a preview of the weekend... Friday March 23, 2007

Josh Smith was one agonizing point shy of his first career
triple-double on Monday, and for today's trivia question we asked who
was the last Hawks player to accomplish the feat.
The answer is Joe Johnson, who rang up his first career tripadub (is that street lingo for it? it should be if it's not) last Feb. 1 at Charlotte, finishing the game with 15 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds. Congrats to Ying-Ju H., who wins tonight's tickets. Incidentally, the last Hawks opponent to record a t/d was none other than Miami Heat PG Gary Payton, who the Hawks will face tonight. Payton did it as a member of the Lakers during the 2003-04 season, scoring 23 points to go with 10 assists and 10 rebounds. Back with more in a bit to preview tonight's game, which, if I didn't mention before (or this is the first time you are reading the blog today), I will be doing a live-blog for.

Quick, what movie is the title from?
Today's trivia winner is Jeff L., who correctly answered that the Hawks have swept the Kings nine times in the series between the two teams. If the Kings win tonight though, they will also have swept the season nine times. So, let's make sure that doesn't happen, whaddya say? Back with more in a bit to preview tonight's home game... (By the way, the title is a snippet of dialogue from Ferris Beuller, one of my favorite movies of all time)

Today's question was a relative gimme - the last time the Hawks made a trade with the Rockets brought the team a current roster member, one Tyronn Lue.
T-Lue came over to Atlanta from the Rockets in the midst of the 2004-05 season in a trade that sent Jon Barry to Houston. We have two winners today as we have two games this weekend: congrats to Nick K., who won tickets to tonight's game against Houston, and Staci C., who won two for the Phoenix game on Sunday (6:00 PM START). Thanks to all who played, and come back for the Knicks game next Friday. Back with more in a bit to preview tonight's game. Wednesday February 21, 2007

We have a winner! The last time the Hawks swept the Spurs was in the 1996-97 season, which incidentally was the season before they drafted Tim Duncan. Congrats to John W., today's winner.

The Hawks have disrupted a few streaks this season already, including Sunday's win at New Jersey for the first time in ten visits there. Similarly, we earlier snapped a six-game slide against the Clippers, six in a row to Memphis, seven straight at Portland, and eight more on the road at Minnesota. Congrats to Jamie R., who is today's winner! Be back with more in a little bit previewing tonight's game with New Jersey...

 It's
easy to think that any high-scorer question involving the current Hawks roster
would elicit a Joe Johnson answer. Many times, that will be the case. However,
today is not one of those days. The answer to which current Hawk has scored the
most in a single game against the Lakers is Lorenzen Wright, who once
torched the Lakers for 32 points and 15 rebounds on Dec. 26, 1997 as a member of
the LA Clippers.
Joe Johnson was another popular answer, and while he has done well against the Lakers (he poured in 30 earlier this season when the teams met in LA), he fell a basket shy of his teammate. Other high scorers against the Lakers are Josh Childress with 21, Speedy Claxton with 22, and Josh Smith with 21 as well. Congrats to David R., who wins tickets to tonight's Lakers game. Here's to hoping Wright can duplicate that feat again in a winning effort! Tuesday February 6, 2007

The answer to
today's trivia question is the Utah Jazz, who have beaten the Hawks 12 straight
times at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. Atlanta will have a chance to
rectify that situation on Monday, by the way, when we play at the Jazz as part
of our final west coast trip of the season.
