What’s Next?

The Hawks went 1-1 on this tiny road trip. They won the game I expected them to lose and lost the game I expected them to win. Basketball is weird that way. Life on the road is over, for the time being.

The Hawks return home on Saturday night to take on the Orlando Magic. The Magic aren’t very good, but they’ve already beaten Atlanta once this season. Anything can happen with this Hawks team.

Sunday they’re off. Which leads me to an interesting question. Which Hawk is throwing the Super Bowl party? I’d guess it’s Dwight Howard, but I have no inside information. They can’t party too hard, a tough opponent awaits them on Monday.

Next: Kent Bazemore's Outstanding January

They’ll finish their home-stand against the Utah Jazz on Monday and the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday.
