Congrats to former Hawk Royal Ivey, who played very well in relief of injured Milwaukee PG Mo Williams. As you may know, I have quite the soft spot for Ivey, a former Texas Longhorn, but I would have liked to see him have this kind of game against the rest of the league, not us.

Once again, I feel the need to remind myself that I am going to get frustrated with this team at times this year, and last night was most certainly one of those times. But its easy to get caught up in how we are playing and not pay attention to the competition, which appears to be in the process of doing the exact same things to their fans as well.

Take Washington for example. They beat us on the road, then win back-to-back games over Boston, something no one else has done this season - then lose big to New York? How frustrating must that be for Wizards fans?

So take heart, Hawks fans. Last night was a missed opportunity, but the impressive wins over Chicago and Denver still happened, and there are still reasons to be happy with them.

In this game, you have to have a short memory. Hopefully, the Hawks will have forgotten all about last night when they tip off in Toronto.
