Chris Barnwell of Hawks Hoop: “This Week In The Southeast, the Wizards just keep on winning, and here comes Bradley Beal. The Miami Heat had another up and down week, while their cross town rival, the Orlando Magic, look like they might be the true dark horse threat to cause problems in the Southeast. Meanwhile, the Hornets continue to struggle out of the gate, are they bad, or is it adjusting to a new roster. Washington Wizards, 9-3, 2nd in the East, 2-1 this week WAS Wizards fan have to be happy with the way they’re rocketing out of the gate this year. Washington is beating up on teams they’re supposed to beat, and that’s a good thing. The problem? They’ve yet to beat a single playoff team, with this week’s loss coming to the Mavericks. Beating up on bad teams is all fine and dandy, but the Wizards have had the easiest early schedule in the entire division.”
From NBA.com: “The Atlanta Hawks, Hawks Cheerleaders and mascot Harry the Hawk surprised customers with games, gifts and groceries at Kroger in Atlanta’s Edgewood Retail District on Thursday, Nov. 20 as part of the NBA Cares Season of Giving. “We’re honored to play for and represent our great city,” said David Lee, SVP of External Affairs for the Atlanta Hawks and Executive Director of the Atlanta Hawks Foundation. “We wanted to find a meaningful way to thank our fans for their support and we were delighted to work with Kroger to create a unique experience that shoppers, and our team, will not soon forget.”
KL Chouinard of Soaring Down South: “The NBA compiled a list of their top 10 dunks for the week, and to no one’s surprise, Jeff Teague‘s soaring smash against the Lakers was the top dunk. And as nice as the clip on NBA.com is, this view is better because it shows Teague getting UP.”
