There’s a proverb about pride coming before a fall. I don’t think there’s an analogous proverb for postseason success coming before a desolate hellscape of a month, but maybe there should be. This is your monthly recap for April 2022, and it was the sort of month only enjoyable for people who wish to be transported into Hieronymus Bosch paintings.

You could write a litany of the ways in which the month was awful for Atlanta, and I’m going to do some of it, but not all of it.
