About to head home, but I wanted to share a few little nuggets of information before I do.

- I am doing a bunch of mid-seasony stuff seeing as the Hawks are at the halfway mark. I interviewed Joe Johnson and Mike Woodson today to get their thoughts on the season's first half, and (tease) I've got a much longer-form interview coming tomorrow with Hawks GM Rick Sund. Stay tuned for that for sure.

- If you are of the technologically inclined, I've started a Hawks twitter feed that you can sign up for. I am still very new at it, so by all means feel free to make suggestions on how I should be doing it. Apparently some people have liked it enough so far though that we actually got a shout-out in today's AJC, so that's kinda neat.

- Lastly, the NBA will announce the All-Star game starters tonight on TNT. Barring a miracle (and I mean, we are talking miracle), we won't see any Hawks in the starting lineup, but I still like our chances for when they announce the reserves next Thursday. In related news, the NBA will announce on Feb. 4 the participants in the long distance shootout, which we are all hoping Mike Bibby will be a part of. So mark that date on your calendar as well.

That's it for me, I'm going to head home. We'll have more on the Hawks-Bucks match-up during the day tomorrow...

UPDATE: Also, a new Lang Whitaker column is up - sign up for Hawks Insider if you haven't already and check it out!
