The Atlanta Hawks shocked the city of Atlanta with their playoff run, showing plenty of grit, heart, and determination, aspects that have been missing with the Atlanta Falcons since Super Bowl 51.
The Hawks were not supposed to make it as far as they did in the 2021 playoffs. The New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers were both favorited by NBA “experts” to knock off the Hawks, but obviously, that didn’t happen.
The Hawks showed a lot of heart, determination, grit, and confidence in that run, and had fun while doing so. The Atlanta Falcons could learn a lot from the young Hawks because there has been zero excitement in the city around the Atlanta Falcons for the last three years.
