After dropping both of its games last week, Atlanta falls to fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
A Stephen Jackson buzzer beater sent the Hawks to their second straight loss at home. The team now heads out on the road in search of answers.
At the buzzer, Stephen Jackson hit a fadeaway jumper on the wing and immediately made a championship belt gesture at the crowd, screaming at them to go home.
Al Horford is expected to miss this game, so if he is out, that's one fewer matchup issue the Cats have to contend with -- assuming, of course, that Boris Diaw, Kwame Brown, and Nazr Mohammed can match up with Pachulia and Jason Collins and whomever else the Hawks throw out there as a big.
Al Horford may not be ready to go for Saturday's game against Charlotte. Also after promising a shake up to the starting lineup, is Larry Drew now backing off?
Should the Hawks remove Marvin Williams from the starting lineup and bring him off the bench full time?
Al Horford's dad Tito Horford tells the Atlanta Journal Constitution that the Hawks should acquire a center where his son can move to Power Forward permanently.
Larry Drew called out his team today for being too comfortable and says that lineup changes and maybe even a trade is needed to help the Hawks get back on track.
The Atlanta Hawks turned in a less than stellar performance Tuesday night at Philips Arena losing to the Philadelphia 76ers 117-83.
