Ugh, the guys are looking very rusty for long stretches at a time. I'll hold my pessimism until the second game is over as I think they're not going to be super happy with the overall effort.
@YourManDevine: The Hawks pulled their Game 1 giveaway T-shirts because they didn't have Jeff Teague's name. http://t.co/6D8yygDiHp http://t.co/LM1Xt7M8fH
Hey I want my shirt. Still caught a Demarre jersey they threw out. Too small for me so I gave it to my GF.

Peachtree Hoops @peachtreehoops 13m13 minutes ago Mike Budenholzer announced as the Coach of the Year.
They were giving these out at the game Sunday night. I grabbed 2 of them, but they are still sitting on my coffee table in my living room.
Finally we get some more basketball tonight. Who are folks rooting for in the Wiz/Raptors series? I frankly wanted to play the Wiz but they're looking pretty good right now. Hopefully the Raptors can at least push them to 7.
Adrian Wojnarowski Sources: Private equity billionaire Antony Ressler, who leads group that includes Grant Hill, is progressing on deal to buy Atlanta Hawks. Adrian Wojnarowski Ressler is finalizing an agreement to purchase the Hawks from Bruce Levenson for a price less than $1 billion, sources tell Yahoo Sports.
as long as this purchase doesnt strap the Ressler dude then all good with me Zach KleinVerified account@ZachKleinWSB Per NBA source, #Hawks sale to billionaire Antony Ressler will be announced later today/tmrw. His group includes Grant Hill & Jesse Itzler
http://www.peachtreehoops.com/2015/4/22/8469945/atlanta-hawks-sale-budenholzer-ferry-koonin Atlanta Hawks sale reportedly around 800M; Plan is to keep Bud and Koonin Cant find my gif
Ramona Shelburne @ramonashelburne The Hawks sale will be announced north of $800m, but I'm told it's less than b/c of debt. In other words, let the accountants explain ;) Ressler is a major land developer in LA....please develop the Gulch area breh
you'd have to think Ferry gets his job back with Grant Hill involved hope this group allows Dominique to have a prominent position beyond broadcasting; really they just need to listen to Koonin, on everything.
The people buying are probably absorbing the debt. The sellers will have to report that as income on their returns.
2004, bought Hawks/Thrashers/Philips from AOL for $250mil so basically made a $500mil profit in 10 years by being shitty people
Don't love this from the ajc article if I'm being honest. Wonder how small his percentage will be considering he's the biggest asshole from the original group (tied with Levenson at best). Also, assuming Ferry comes back, how great would it be to see the interactions between that weasal Gearon Jr. and Danny Ferry?
