The Atlanta Hawks did the unthinkable last season. They made a coaching change mid-season, went on a tear winning their first eight games under coach Nate McMillan. They were a Greek Freak-sized wall away from going to the NBA Finals.
The Hawks were no one’s favorite coming out of the east, let alone getting past the first round of the playoffs. With the showing that this team displayed during the second half of the season and the playoffs, the Hawks have put the other teams in the East on notice.
The Atlanta Hawks have one of the best-constructed teams in the NBA.
