As I’m sure you know, Soaring Down South is full of Taurean Prince praise. We are huge fans of his and believe he will play a huge role in Atlanta’s future.

Jeff Schultz at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution comments on Dwight Howard’s speeding ticket the night before Game 6 of their first round series against the Washington Wizards. Schultz seems less than thrilled with the incident and what it says about Howard’s dedication to the Hawks. I disagree with his assessment.

Schultz also says that Hawks fans should forget about Danny Ferry coming back to the Hawks. That’s not going to happen. That would be a public relations disaster for the Hawks and Ferry may not even want to return.
