Despite dropping a game recently to the Charlotte Hornets, in a battle between two of the top three teams in the Eastern Conference, the Hawks have still managed to get off to a solid start.
If nothing else, Atlanta has proved that they’re not going to just go away – which many expected after they lost Al Horford to the Boston Celtics during free agency. Instead, this is a team that’s going to continue to battle and remain in contention in the Eastern Conference. Keep an eye on the Hawks. I’m not sure if they’re as good as years past, but they’re solid.
