Don’t believe that the Hawks are one of the hottest teams in the league right now, then start paying attention.</p> <p>What makes Atlanta even more dangerous is that this is essentially the same team that made an Eastern Conference Finals run a year ago. No one will want to play this team in late April.</p>. (44-30)
